Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae’r haul yn gwenu dros Ardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru.
En: The sun is smiling over the Ardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru (Welsh National Botanical Garden).

Cy: Does dim unman tebyg iddi yn nhymor y gwanwyn.
En: There is nowhere like it in the spring season.

Cy: Mae blodau’n blodeuo ymhob lliw, a'r awyr yn gorlif â pherarogl y planhigion.
En: Flowers blossom in every color, and the air overflows with the fragrance of the plants.

Cy: Mae adar yn sibrwd caneuon tair troedfedd uwchlaw ymwelwyr hapus.
En: Birds whisper songs three feet above happy visitors.

Cy: Gareth, carwr natur a chariad mawr i laswelltiroedd, camodd i’r ardd gyda dim ond cyffro am ddarganfod amrywiaeth y planhigion lleol.
En: Gareth, a nature lover with a deep affection for meadows, stepped into the garden with nothing but excitement for discovering the diversity of local plants.

Cy: Er nid yw’n grefftwr coeth yng ngwaith blodau, mae atyniad dwfn ganddo at y margareti gwylaidd.
En: Although he is not a polished craftsman in floral work, he has a deep attraction to the modest daisy.

Cy: Ei fwriad? Diwrnod heddychlon a dysgu.
En: His intention? A peaceful and educational day.

Cy: Ond wrth iddo fynd ymlaen, canfyddodd gafn rhywle’n denu’r dorf.
En: But as he went on, he noticed a commotion somewhere attracting a crowd.

Cy: Aeth Gareth i mewn, caniatawyd chwarae barddoni athrylithol gyda blodau.
En: Gareth entered and was allowed to play with brilliant flower arrangements.

Cy: Yn ei syfrdandod, roedd eisoes wedi cofrestru i gystadleuaeth trefnu blodau.
En: In his amazement, he was already signed up for a flower arrangement competition.

Cy: "Helo, Gareth yw’r enw," cyfarchodd a phenlinio Rhian, y fflores fawr o ardal Llandeilo, a oedd yn arwain y gystadleuaeth.
En: "Hello, Gareth is the name," he greeted and kneeled to Rhian, the grand florist from the Llandeilo area who was leading the competition.

Cy: Roedd Elinor, yn eistedd yn agos ati, yn gwenu’n gynnes, ei gward.
En: Elinor, sitting close to her, smiled warmly, her guardian.

Cy: Defnyddio ychydig o bwysau dyletswydd, penderfynodd Gareth aros.
En: Using a little nudge of duty, Gareth decided to stay.

Cy: Nid oedd yn gallu gyfleu ei gamgymeriad o fynd i mewn i’r gystadleuaeth dan argraff anghywir, ond teimlodd gan y gymdeithas mai llwyddiant oedd o fewn cyrraedd llaw.
En: He couldn't convey his mistake of entering the competition under a false impression, but he felt the support of the community, and success seemed within reach.

Cy: "Elinor, gallwch chi fy helpu i?" gofynnodd Gareth, wirioneddol awyddus i wneud y gorau.
En: "Elinor, can you help me?" asked Gareth, truly eager to do his best.

Cy: Trefnodd Elinor, gydag agwedd amyneddgar ac anogaeth, ei fod yn rhodd yn ddigon hwyliog.
En: Elinor, with a patient demeanor and encouragement, ensured it was an enjoyable effort.

Cy: Wrth i oriau hedfan heibio, fe welodd Gareth ei fod, yn ôl pob tebyg, yn gwneud yn well nag a feddyliodd.
En: As hours flew by, Gareth found that he was probably doing better than he had thought.

Cy: Heb dros wyro oddi wrth ei hoffter o margareti, yn y diweddos â phrif drefniad ei hun yn gorchuddio â blodau ar hap.
En: Without deviating from his fondness for daisies, he ended up with a main arrangement covered randomly with flowers.

Cy: Wrth fiseleu dros y gwaith, mewnpenderfynodd efe ieithiad tymerus, "Allai fod yn well i mi fynychu gwersi'n rinweddol i wella."
En: While contemplating his work, he timidly concluded, "Perhaps I should attend some real classes to improve."

Cy: Pan ddaeth yr amser dyfarniad, roedd Gareth yn aros yn llonydd.
En: When the judging time came, Gareth waited quietly.

Cy: Gwnaeth y beirniadu ŵyl o’i drefniant anarferol.
En: The judges marveled at his unusual arrangement.

Cy: Roedd y canlyniad yn syndod llwyr: Gareth a enillodd wobr “Defnydd Mwyaf Creadigol o Fargareti.”
En: The result was a complete surprise: Gareth won the prize for "Most Creative Use of Daisies."

Cy: Aeth Gareth adref y diwrnod hwnnw, nid dim ond ag anrhydedd fach ond gyda hyder newydd i wynebu gweithio tuag at fertigau newydd.
En: Gareth went home that day, not only with a small honor but also with a newfound confidence to face higher goals.

Cy: Gan wybod mai hwyrach nad oedd bob amser yn bril, dechreuodd ymddiried yn gryf mewn ei allu i archwilio cyfrinebau newydd; ddechreuodd dylunio blodau ei gwrs yw pelydru gyda boddhad.
En: Knowing he might not always be brilliant, he began to trust strongly in his ability to explore new mysteries; he started designing flowers, his course illuminated with satisfaction.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y noson gynnar, roedd awyr y gwanwyn yn llanw’r Ardd Fotaneg Gymreig ag arogl melys blodau yn agor fel ymladd o liwiau.
En: In the early evening, the spring air filled the Ardd Fotaneg Gymreig with the sweet aroma of flowers opening like a battle of colors.

Cy: Roedd dathliad Dydd y Ddaear mewn llawn swing.
En: The Earth Day celebration was in full swing.

Cy: Roedd pobl o bob oed yn crwydro rhwng yr arddangosfeydd a'r stondinau.
En: People of all ages wandered between the exhibits and stalls.

Cy: Yn eu plith roedd Rhian, dynes gyda glainau gwyrdd yn ei llygaid a gwallt tywyll cyrliog.
En: Among them was Rhian, a woman with green beads in her eyes and dark curly hair.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gweini fel gwirfoddolwraig, ei galon mor llawn â'r awyrgylch o angerdd am yr amgylchedd.
En: She was serving as a volunteer, her heart as full as the atmosphere with passion for the environment.

Cy: Roedd Rhian, er gwaethaf ei chefnadgarwch, yn fwy hyderus o guddio tu mewn calon ei hun.
En: Despite Rhian's dedication, she was more confident hiding within her own heart.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi brifo yn y gorffennol a nawr roedd ofn iddi agor eto.
En: She had been hurt in the past and now feared opening up again.

Cy: Roedd Dafydd, ei chydweithiwr didwyll, yn ei hannog i fod yn fwy agored.
En: Dafydd, her sincere colleague, encouraged her to be more open.

Cy: "Mae llawer o bobl yma ar dy donfedd di, Rhian.
En: "There are many people here on your wavelength, Rhian.

Cy: Paid bod ofnus," meddai'n garedig, wrth edrych tua'r tyrfa.
En: Don't be afraid," he said kindly, looking toward the crowd.

Cy: Eisteddodd Rhian ger y pwll dŵr, fel pe byddai'r dŵr tawel yn cysuro ei henaid.
En: Rhian sat by the water pool, as if the calm water was soothing her soul.

Cy: Ac yna, cerddodd ferch o'r enw Eira rownd gongl, ei gwallt llif i lawr fel dŵr rhewlif.
En: And then, a girl named Eira walked around the corner, her hair flowing down like glacial water.

Cy: Roedd gan Eira ddiddordeb mawr mewn ymarferion cynaliadwy, eu hysbrydoliaeth ar y blaen, ond roedd er hynny, ofni rhoi ffydd yn rhywun newydd.
En: Eira had a great interest in sustainable practices, with her inspiration at the forefront, yet she was still fearful of placing trust in someone new.

Cy: Dechreuodd Rhian ac Eira siarad, y ffurfafen uwch eu pennau yn lask, wrth iddynt drydar am bynciau ecolegol a'r planhigion sydd amgylcho'r ardd.
En: Rhian and Eira began to talk, the sky above them pale blue, as they chatted about ecological topics and the plants surrounding the garden.

Cy: Dechreuodd Rhian deimlo rhywbeth fel cynhesrwydd, ond roedd amgau yn dal yn dalentus.
En: Rhian began to feel something like warmth, but she was still skillful at enclosing.

Cy: Wrth i'r prynhawn fynd yn ei blaen, dechreuodd gweithdy newydd ar arddio cynaliadwy.
En: As the afternoon progressed, a new workshop on sustainable gardening began.

Cy: Roedd Rhian wrth y gorau gyda hyn.
En: Rhian was at her best with this.

Cy: Roedd hi'n sôn am ei chynnig cyntaf i blannu gardd gymunedol yn y gymuned, sut y trodd y gwargoed lleol yn gymuned gydweithredol.
En: She spoke about her first initiative to plant a community garden in the neighborhood, how the local waste ground turned into a cooperative community.

Cy: Gwelodd Eira y sbarc yn llygad Rhian.
En: Eira saw the spark in Rhian's eye.

Cy: Yr oedd yn synhwyrydd moment gwirioneddol.
En: It was a moment of genuine recognition.

Cy: Ar ôl y gweithdy, dechreuodd Eira bŵerio i Rhian gyda llawenydd.
En: After the workshop, Eira beamed at Rhian with joy.

Cy: "Dy stori di oedd yr un sydd wedi cyffwrdd â fi," meddai Eira yn ddedwydd.
En: "Your story was the one that touched me," said Eira happily.

Cy: Rhannuodd Eira ei hofn o ymddiriedaeth, a sut y mae'r plannu wedi'i galluogi i deimlo’n gysylltiol.
En: Eira shared her fear of trust, and how planting had allowed her to feel connected.

Cy: Roedd Rhian yn synnu, ond hefyd yn addfwyn wrth glywed yr eiriau gonestrwydd.
En: Rhian was surprised, but also gently moved by hearing the honest words.

Cy: Fe wnaeth i Rhian hefyd dderbyn ei bod hi'n dial, ei bod hi'n fwy na’r ofnau a oedd yn ei rhwystro.
En: It made Rhian also acknowledge that she was more than the fears that were holding her back.

Cy: Yn y diwedd, roedd Rhian ac Eira'n cael sgwrs am eu dyheadau a'u hofnau, gan fynd tuag at bont o ddealltwriaeth.
En: In the end, Rhian and Eira had a conversation about their aspirations and fears, moving toward a bridge of understanding.

Cy: Roeddant yn cydnabod rhyngddynt bod cysylltiad yn bosib, gydag amser, gydag agoradau.
En: They both recognized that a connection was possible, with time, with openness.

Cy: A daeth Rhian i ddeall, y gall agor ei hun yn arwain at greadigaeth newydd, hyd yn oed er mae hynny'n gofyn dewrder.
En: And Rhian came to understand that opening herself up could lead to new creation, even though it requires courage.

Cy: Wrth iddynt fynd allan o'r ardd gyda'r haul yn mynd i lawr, addawodd y ddau ohonyn nhw y bydden nhw'n parhau i gwrdd a thyfu, nid yn unig planhigion ond hefyd bond.
En: As they left the garden with the sun going down, they both promised to continue meeting and growing, not only plants but also their bond.

Cy: Roedd yr ardd bellach fwy dim ond gardd – daeth yn lle o haelioni a phosibiliadau ar gyfer Rhian ac Eira.
En: The garden became more than just a garden—it became a place of generosity and possibilities for Rhian and Eira.

Cy: Roedd yr achlysur yn dangos bod cariad, fel natur, yn gallu blodeuo unrhyw bryd, ym mhob tymor.
En: The occasion showed that love, like nature, can bloom at any time, in any season.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Y bore hyn, roedd y Neuadd Hanes Naturiol yn Llundain yn llawn pobl.
En: This morning, the Natural History Hall in Llundain was full of people.

Cy: Roedd y sgerbydau dinosor yn dyrchafu uwchben pawb, yn rhyfeddol a hynod.

En: He faces his big challenge today: presenting research on dinosaurs in front of an audience.

Cy: Fel palaiontolegydd brwd, mae gan Rhys lawer i ddweud, ond mae ofn siarad cyhoeddus yn pwyso’n drwm ar ei ysgwyddau.
En: As an enthusiastic paleontologist, Rhys has a lot to say, but the fear of public speaking weighs heavily on his shoulders.

Cy: Carys a Elin, ei gydweithwyr, sydd wrth ei ochr.
En: Carys and Elin, his colleagues, are by his side.

Cy: "Rhys, bydd popeth yn iawn," meddai Carys yn braf.
En: "Rhys, everything will be fine," says Carys warmly.

Cy: Mae Elin yn nodio'n gryf.
En: Elin nods firmly.

Cy: "Mae dy wybodaeth di yn wych.
En: "Your knowledge is excellent.

En: As he looks at Carys and Elin displaying their silent support, he feels a flicker of confidence.

Cy: Yna, mae e'n dechrau ei gyflwyniad.
En: Then, he begins his presentation.

Cy: Yn gyntaf, mae ei lais yn anwybyddu, ond mae'n anadlu'n ddwfn.
En: At first, his voice falters, but he takes a deep breath.

Cy: Mae'n troi ei sylw tuag at un o'r sgerbydau mawrion uwchben, ac mae’r cyffro o hyd at ddeallusrwydd dinosoriaid yn dechrau symbylu ei daniaeth.
En: He turns his attention to one of the large skeletons above, and the thrill of understanding dinosaurs begins to ignite his enthusiasm.

Cy: Mae'r geiriau'n dechrau llifo'n rhwyddach.
En: The words start to flow more easily.

Cy: Mae’r brwdfrydedd yn gwrthdroi’r ofn yn raddol.
En: The enthusiasm gradually overcomes the fear.

Cy: Bob tro mae'n siarad am y ddarganfyddiad gwych, mae’n gweld wynebau'r gynulleidfa'n dechrau goleuo â diddordeb.

En: From this moment on, he faces every new challenge with a cheerful heart and newfound confidence on the science stage.

Story Transcript:

Cy: O fewn muriau cadarn Castell Caerdydd, bleudranchiadau ceirios yn blodeuo'n llachar, roedd Rhys ac Eira yn cerdded yn araf.
En: Within the strong walls of Castell Caerdydd, bright cherry blossoms bloomed vibrantly as Rhys and Eira walked slowly.

Cy: Bu'n hafan iddynt o banig cyflym y ddinas, lle roedd cariwlion adar yn llenwi'r awyr.
En: It was a haven for them from the fast-paced panic of the city, where the chime of birds filled the air.

Cy: Roedd Rhys, gyda'i drwyn bob amser mewn llyfr, yn llawn gobaith i ddarganfod hanes cudd eu teulu.
En: Rhys, always with his nose in a book, was full of hope to uncover hidden family history.

Cy: Ochr yn ochr ag ef, roedd Eira, ei chwaer fach, yn fwy amheus.
En: Beside him, was Eira, his younger sister, who was more skeptical.

Cy: Ond roedd hi'n mwynhau treulio amser gyda Rhys, hyd yn oed os oedd yn golygu dilyn trywydd llai dealladwy.
En: But she enjoyed spending time with Rhys, even if it meant following a less comprehensible path.

Cy: "A wyti'n siŵr am hyn?
En: "Are you sure about this?"

Cy: " gofynnodd Eira, syllu ar y torff uchel yn y cyntedd.
En: Eira asked, gazing at the high archway in the hallway.

Cy: "Mae'n teimlo braidd yn ffôl.
En: "It feels a bit foolish."

Cy: ""Rhaid i ni gael gwybod," dywedodd Rhys yn bendant.
En: "We have to find out," Rhys said decisively.

Cy: "Mae yna hanes i'r teulu hwn, a dyma ble mae'n dechrau.
En: "There is a history to this family, and this is where it starts."

Cy: "Er nad oedd gan Eira ddiddordeb mawr mewn hanes fel ei brawd, roedd ganddi sicrwydd taw Rhys oedd man geni'r diddordeb hwn.
En: Although Eira didn't have a great interest in history like her brother, she was certain that Rhys was the birthplace of this curiosity.

Cy: Roedd posib y gallai fod rhieni neu gyndeidiau yn cuddio rhywbeth mawr, efallai rhyw swydd ddefnyddiol fel porthor neu was cawr, ond syniad Rhys oedd llawer mwy ysbrydoledig.
En: There was a possibility that parents or ancestors were hiding something significant, perhaps some useful role like a porter or a giant's servant, but Rhys's idea was much more inspiring.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded drwy'r coridorau carreg, daethant i archifau'r castell.
En: As they walked through the stone corridors, they arrived at the castle archives.

Cy: Roedd arwydd yn dangos "Gwaharddedig" ond cafodd Rhys ei atynnu at y lle hwn fel magnesydd.
En: A sign indicated "Forbidden" but Rhys was drawn to this place like a magnet.

Cy: "Dyma'r lle," dywedodd, ei llais yn llawn cyffro ac ofn.
En: "This is the place," he said, his voice full of excitement and fear.

Cy: Eira ysgydwodd ei phen, gan ddymuno eu bod nhw'n bwyta hufen iâ yn hytrach, ond caniataodd y rhefru i fynd ymlaen gyda chyffro Rhys.
En: Eira shook her head, wishing they were eating ice cream instead, but allowed the whimsicalness to proceed with Rhys's excitement.

Cy: Nid oedd yn gallu gwrthsefyll ei egni pan oedd wedi setlo ar mission ei galon.
En: She couldn't resist his energy when he was set on his heart's mission.

Cy: Pan agorodd Rhys ddrws lle tawel, a oedd heb ei ddefnyddio am amser hir, rhoddodd eu cael ganolfan archifau syfrdanol.
En: When Rhys opened a quiet door, unused for a long time, they found themselves in a stunning archival center.

Cy: Yno, ymysg llai o lwch a hen chwilod papur, roedd siwrne ddeng mlyneddoedd wedi'i hystyried.
En: There, amidst less dust and old paper beetles, was a journey of ten years considered.

Cy: Yn sydyn, tynnodd llyfr diar eu sylw.
En: Suddenly, a book caught their attention.

Cy: "Dagryw Hen," oedd y teitl, ac roedd yn disgrifio bywoliaeth a gwaith cyndeidiau artistig.
En: "Dagryw Hen," was the title, and it described the livelihood and work of artistic ancestors.

Cy: "Artistiaid?
En: "Artists?"

Cy: " dychrynodd Rhys, yn disgwyl llinach sanctaidd.
En: Rhys exclaimed, expecting a sacred lineage.

Cy: "Efallai'r un mor werthfawr," dywedodd Eira, yn syfrdanu gan lyfrynnod dogfennog am siop ddilladau mawr ei hangen yn ne Cymru.
En: "Perhaps just as valuable," Eira said, astonished by a documented booklet about a prominent clothing store in South Wales.

Cy: Golygai'r cylchgrawn fod eu teulu yn enwog am grefft gain yn hytrach na safle'r teulu brenhinol.
En: The magazine implied that their family was famous for fine craftsmanship rather than royal family status.

Cy: Roedd homynnyniadau o ofal, celf a chalon yn mynd yn ddyfnach na blodau'r achau.
En: The inklings of care, art, and heart went deeper than the flowers of pedigree.

Cy: Yn y diwedd, aeth y brawd a'r chwaer yn ôl drwy'r orgor gleision, golau haul yn tywynnu o gwmpas eu meddyliau.
En: In the end, the brother and sister went back through the blue corridor, sunlight shining around their thoughts.

Cy: Nid oeddyn nhw'n disgyn o frenin, ond roedd gwreiddiau'n gryf mewn priodoldeb a gwerth.
En: They were not descended from kings, but their roots were strong in decency and worth.

Cy: "Cawn ni gymaint i garu," dywedodd Eira, gan gario cerdyn uwchben ei phenaeth, i atgoffa'n ddybachu.
En: "We have so much to love," Eira said, holding a card above her head, to remind them gently.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn gwenu, gan sylweddoli gwir ddwyieithrwydd eu stori:Mewn pob teulu daeth glanedigedd a balchder yn groesffordd, hanes go iawn oedd eu hunaniaeth.
En: Rhys smiled, realizing the true bilingualism of their story: In every family, neatness and pride crossed paths, real history was their identity.

Cy: Roedd Eira yn cyfeidio bod eu treftadaeth, er mor arferol, yn drist a hyfryd i'r ddau.
En: Eira conveyed that their heritage, though common, was melancholy and delightful to both.

Cy: "Awn ni i fwyta hufen iâ?
En: "Shall we go eat ice cream?"

Cy: " Awgrymodd Rhys, a'r ddau'n gwybod nad oes angen mantell frenhinol i fwynhau melysion bywyd.
En: Rhys suggested, and both of them knew no royal mantle was needed to enjoy life's sweetness.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Cafodd gwlith y bore ei sychu wrth i gawod loew o haul tanio ar ben yr hen gerddi.
En: The morning dew was dried as a bright shower of sunlight ignited the tops of the old gardens.

Cy: Roedd y gwanwyn wedi ailgydio yn y byd, a bron bob lliw yn serennu rhwng canghennau’r coed a’r llwyni heli.
En: Spring had reestablished itself in the world, and nearly every color was sparkling between the branches of the trees and the willow bushes.

Cy: Yn hyn oll, safodd Carys a Emrys wrth fynedfa symudliw o lwyni er enghraifft posib un o lawer o symlion huddiedig o “aberth methiant” fel y’i gelwid gan rai.
En: Amidst all this, Carys and Emrys stood at a colorful entrance of shrubs, possibly one of many hidden "false sacrifices," as some called it.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn gafael yn gadarn yn hen fap, ei phryd arweiniol yn llai Ystradeon ond mwy cyfarwydd na marwolaethau hanesyddol.
En: Carys held firmly onto an old map, her leading demeanor less Ystradeon-like but more familiar than historical deaths.

Cy: Ysgogwyd ei hamcan yn angerddol gan chwedl am arteffact hynafol oedd yn cuddio rhywle yng ngardd yr hen lys.
En: Her objective was fervently driven by a legend about an ancient artifact hidden somewhere in the garden of the old court.

Cy: Ar y llaw arall, Emrys dilynodd yn llonydd, chwilio am reswm eto'n benderfynol i brofi'i ffaeledigaethau chwedlonol.
En: On the other hand, Emrys followed quietly, searching for a reason yet determined to prove his mythical failures.

Cy: "Rydw i am ddilyn y llwybr hwn," meddai Carys, yn ymwybodol o amheuaeth Emrys.
En: "I am going to follow this path," said Carys, aware of Emrys's doubt.

Cy: Credu nad oedd y llwybrau wedi aros yn union run fath oedd sianel Emrys yn hanes.
En: Believing the paths hadn't remained exactly the same was Emrys's historical channel.

Cy: Rhoed iddynt orad oherwydd yr hel sy’n gynrychioli penderfyniad.
En: They were given a choice because the search symbolized a decision.

Cy: Ychwaith cyn iddynt groesi y gysegrlong hyd at bentrefi a welsant drwy ddal y cysgodion, drwy byllau anfwriad.
En: Even before they crossed the hallowed passage to the villages they had seen through holding the shadows, through unintended pools.

Cy: Daethant yn fuan at ddiwedd anianol y llwybr, wedi'i amgylchu yn ansicrwydd o dail ffres.
En: They soon came to the organic end of the path, surrounded by uncertainty of fresh leaves.

Cy: Ond wrth i’r haul ddechrau symud dros y gorwel, datguddiodd ei feillion cuddiedig llwybr copïo agored newydd trwy’r llwyni.
En: But as the sun began to move over the horizon, it revealed its hidden clover in a new open trail through the shrubs.

Cy: Yn arbennig roedd hawyr i’w argymell.
En: The air was particularly inviting.

Cy: "Beth am geisio'r un hwn?
En: "How about trying this one?"

Cy: " gwenodd Carys gan nodi'r trywydd newydd.
En: smiled Carys, marking the new route.

Cy: Emrys, er ei sul, cafodd ei herio gan blant a’i sgiliau.
En: Emrys, despite his hesitation, was challenged by children and his skills.

Cy: Fel roedd yr edyn yn cwympo, dewisodd ddilyn.
En: As the feather fell, he chose to follow.

Cy: Ar y pen, cawsant eu darganfod rhywle guddiedig.
En: In the end, they discovered a hidden place.

Cy: Ond nid artifact o aur, ond seiment carreg gyda engrap arddangos mewn sgript hynafol.
En: But not a golden artifact, rather a stone slab with an engraving in ancient script.

Cy: "Doethineb yn parhau bob amser, ond y cadeiriau dynol am offer gorchuddiedig," darllenodd Carys yn dawel.
En: "Wisdom endures always, but human chairs are veiled tools," read Carys quietly.

Cy: Canfu Carys nad artefact mewnol dyma oedd ei hanes, ond y daith ei hun.
En: Carys realized that the artifact was not her history, but the journey itself.

Cy: Y straeon a daeth â nhw.
En: The stories that brought them.

Cy: Oddi fewn y mae Emrys wedi dysgu derbyn y byddai bywyd bob amser yn darparu rhywbeth uniongyrchol llai diriaethol ond mor werthfawr.

Cy: Wrth iddynt adael y labyrinth, roeddent yn gwybod bod y daith yn fwy na chyrhaeddiad artifact.
En: As they left the labyrinth, they knew the journey was more than the attainment of an artifact.

Cy: Roedd yn ddarganfyddiad newydd o'r cysgodion na fedrir mesur, dim ond deall.
En: It was a new discovery of the shadows that cannot be measured, only understood.
