Story Transcript:

Cy: Golau’r haul haf oedd yn disgyn yn feddal ar erddi’r hen blasty sy’n edrych dros y môr ym Mhenrhyn Gŵyr.
En: The summer sun's light fell softly on the gardens of the old mansion overlooking the sea in the Penrhyn Gŵyr (Gower Peninsula).

Cy: Roedd y teulu wedi dod ynghyd i fwynhau prynhawn gyda chyfeillgarwch a sgwrs.
En: The family had gathered to enjoy an afternoon of companionship and conversation.

Cy: Mewn cornel, safai Eira, y chwaer ieuengaf, yn edrych yn ofalus ar lyfrau'r llyfrgell deuluol.
En: In a corner stood Eira, the youngest sister, carefully looking at the family library's books.

Cy: Roedd gan y teulu drysor gwerthfawr, tlws teuluol oedd wedi bod gyda nhw ers cenedlaethau.
En: The family had a valuable treasure, a family heirloom that had been with them for generations.

Cy: Heddiw, roedd wedi diflannu.
En: Today, it had vanished.

Cy: Roedd y tlws ar goll, a phawb yn troi i Eira gyda golwg drwgdybus.
En: The heirloom was missing, and everyone turned to Eira with a suspicious glance.

Cy: Roedd Eira wedi’i ddal yn ceisio profi bod yn gyfrifol.
En: Eira found herself trying hard to prove she was responsible.

Cy: Roedd hi’n benderfynol o’i ddod o hyd.
En: She was determined to find it.

Cy: “Fe wna i ddarganfod beth ddigwyddodd,” meddai Eira, ei llais yn benderfynol ond calon yn curiad cyflym.
En: "I will discover what happened," said Eira, her voice determined but her heart beating fast.

Cy: Gareth, ei brawd hynaf, a oedd yn aml yn anniddig gyda’i chwaer ifancach, edrychodd ar Eira gydag amheuaeth.
En: Gareth, her eldest brother, who was often impatient with his younger sister, looked at Eira with doubt.

Cy: “Ti’n gwybod bod hyn yn fwy na all dy fryd bach di ddelio â?
En: "You know this is more than your little mind can handle?"

Cy: ” gofynnodd Gareth, gan bwyso ar ffrâm y drws.
En: asked Gareth, leaning on the door frame.

Cy: Ond ni wnaeth Meredith, ei chyfnither doeth a thawel, ddim ond gwenu'n dyner.
En: But Meredith, their wise and quiet cousin, simply smiled gently.

Cy: “Rhaid i ni roi cyfle iddi,” dywedodd Meredith, yn cynnig cymorth hudolus yn ei bresenoldeb.
En: "We must give her a chance," said Meredith, offering a magical support with her presence.

Cy: Aeth Eira ati i wneud ei hymchwiliadau.
En: Eira set off on her investigation.

Cy: Cafodd hyd i dystiolaeth, gwasgariad o weddillion papurau oedd yn sbri i’r gwynt ar ben y desg.
En: She found evidence, a scattering of paper remnants that were blowing in the wind on the desk.

Cy: Roedd y wybodaeth o aren o help, ond roedd llawer o waith yn dal i’w wneud.
En: The information was somewhat helpful, but there was still much work to be done.

Cy: Treuliodd oriau hir yn chwilio, gwrando am straeon, a thynnu lluniau yn ei meddwl.
En: She spent long hours searching, listening to stories, and drawing pictures in her mind.

Cy: Yna ryw awr neu ddwy ar ôl amser cinio, daeth Eira ar draws rhywbeth diddorol: adarnod bach ar ochr silff lyfrau hen, a oedd wedi mynd yn angof ers tro byd.
En: Then, an hour or two after lunch, Eira came across something interesting: a small knob on the side of an old bookshelf that had long been forgotten.

Cy: Wrth rybedio bwtwm cudd, agorodd Eira gympartmant dirgel yn y silff lyfrau.
En: By pressing a hidden button, Eira opened a secret compartment in the bookshelf.

Cy: Yn yno, amrywiwyd glain iach o liw ac aur.
En: Inside, there was a healthy glow of beads of color and gold.

Cy: Safai yn fud.
En: She stood speechless.

Cy: Y tlws!
En: The heirloom!

Cy: Roedd rhywun wedi’i guddio yn fwriadol, ond pam?
En: Someone had intentionally hidden it, but why?

Cy: Gollyngodd lonc llyffethair o ganol torf y teulu, ond cyn iddynt fynd yn rhy bell gyda dychmygu, camodd yr hen ewythr Jac ymlaen.
En: A gasp rose from the family crowd, but before they could delve too deep into speculation, old Uncle Jac stepped forward.

Cy: "Rwy’n ddrwg gen i," cyfaddefodd, wyneb i lawr.
En: "I am sorry," he admitted, looking down.

Cy: "Fel plant ni, roeddwn am weld fflach y rhithgor mwyn i’r un olaf unwaith yn rhagor.
En: "Like when we were kids, I wanted to see the gleam of the beloved heirloom one last time."

Cy: "Ar unwaith, eisteddfodd y teulu ar y bwrdd coffi.
En: Instantly, the family sat around the coffee table.

Cy: Cafodd dyddiau hanes y tlws eu rhannu tra roedd teimladau amrywiol yn cylchdroi, o sioc i hawddfyd.
En: The days of the heirloom's history were shared while various emotions swirled, from shock to relief.

Cy: Mewn un (math o) fan a’r tof, sylweddolais bod y dyn wedi methu’n llwyr.
En: In a moment, I realized the man had utterly failed.

Cy: Amser hir o fynd a dod, eisteddodd teulu ac gwrando ar Eira tra'n derbyn ymddiheuriadau a pharch newydd.
En: After a long time of coming and going, the family sat back and listened to Eira while accepting apologies and newfound respect.

Cy: Roedd Gareth wedi dysgu bod ei fyfyrdodau anghywir, a dechreuodd weld ei chwaer mewn golau newydd.
En: Gareth learned that his previous assumptions were wrong, and he began to see his sister in a new light.

Cy: Wrth i’r haul suddo dros y gorwel, roedd Gŵyr wedi profi i Eira fod yn arwr, ac unwaith eto roedd ysblander y teulu’n disgleirio gyda golau newydd.
En: As the sun set over the horizon, Gŵyr had proven Eira to be a hero, and once again, the splendor of the family shone with new light.

Cy: "Dyma'r esgidiau mwyaf ysgafn y cawn ni," meddai hi yn llawn hyder.
En: "These are the lightest shoes we can find," she said with confidence.

Cy: "Pwy sydd angen mwy na gwrthrychau hanfodol?"
En: "Who needs more than the essential items?"

Cy: Gwyn, yn wahanol, oedd un manwl a pheidiwl.
En: Gwyn, in contrast, was meticulous and cautious.

Cy: "Mae angen paratoi'r gorau posib," ochneidiodd Gwyn.
En: "We need to prepare as best as possible," sighed Gwyn.

Cy: "Dylem brynu map, cwmpawd, sbectol haul, a defnydd dioddwr."
En: "We should buy a map, compass, sunglasses, and waterproof material."

Cy: Roedd Emlyn yn teimlo'n rhwyg rhwng dau syfrdan.

Cy: Wrth sefyll yno, sylweddolodd Emlyn bod ateb yn y canol.
En: As he stood there, Emlyn realized there was an answer in the middle.

Cy: Pam ddim dilyn ei rai ei hun?
En: Why not follow his own approach?

Cy: Gan ystyried y ddau safbwynt, penderfynodd Emlyn gymryd pethau amrywiol.
En: Considering both perspectives, Emlyn decided to take a variety of things.

Cy: Dewisodd bag cefn sydd yn hawdd ei gario ond hefyd yn daladwy, map cywir a theclyn llaw sobrach.
En: He chose a backpack that was easy to carry but also durable, an accurate map, and a handy pocket tool.

Cy: Gofynnodd i'r siopwr am gynghorion. A phrynodd dwb gymorth cyntaf fach hefyd.
En: He asked the shopkeeper for advice and also purchased a small first aid kit.

Cy: Roedd yn bwysig i'w saff ystyried, ond nid yn ormodol.
En: It was important to consider safety, but not excessively.

Cy: Roedd Carys a Gwyn yn edrych ar Emlyn gydag uchelgyfrif fel y cafodd ei ddetholion.
En: Carys and Gwyn looked at Emlyn with high regard for his selections.

Cy: "Rydyn ni'n ymddiried yn dy brofiad," meddai Carys, yn gwenu.
En: "We trust your experience," said Carys, smiling.

Cy: Gyda phawb yn barod, gadawon nhw siop y mynyddoedd.
En: With everyone ready, they left the mountain store.

Cy: Roedd yr awyr yn glir a'r golygfeydd yn ysbrydoledig.
En: The sky was clear, and the views were inspiring.

En: There was a sense of excitement in the group as they left with their new gear and admiration for each other.

Cy: Dysgodd Emlyn i ymddiried yn ei farn ei hun ac i ddod o hyd i gydbwysedd rhwng ofal a hwyl.
En: Emlyn learned to trust his own judgment and to find a balance between caution and fun.

Cy: Roedd yntau, Carys, a Gwyn yn wynebu eu hantur gyda sicrwydd a hapusrwydd.
En: He, Carys, and Gwyn faced their adventure with confidence and happiness.

Cy: Roedd eu camau cyntaf tuag at y mynydd yn obeithiol.
En: Their first steps toward the mountain were hopeful.

Cy: Roedd y daith a'r cwmnïaeth yn addo llawer.
En: The journey and the companionship promised much.

Cy: Ynghanol harddwch Eryri, roedd ganddyn nhw haul ar eu wyneb a phwrw ar eu dydd.
En: Amid the beauty of Eryri, they had the sun on their faces and brightness in their day.

Cy: Roedd popeth yn berffaith ar y dyddiau tanllyd hynny.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Drwy'r niwl trwchus yn y Gwap Caenig, roedd y farchnad wedi deffro i fywyd unwaith eto.
En: Through the thick mist in the Gwap Caenig, the market had come to life once again.

Cy: Roedd Bronwen, â gwên fawr ar ei hwyneb, wedi gosod ei stondin ger coeden helyg enfawr.
En: Bronwen, with a big smile on her face, had set up her stall near a huge willow tree.

Cy: Ar ei bwrdd roedd potiau a phlanhigion o wahanol siapau a meintiau, ond y dydd hwnnw 'roedd ei hymffrost ychwanegol yn deillio o wlad brenhinol, neu felly 'roedd hi'n credu.
En: On her table were pots and plants of various shapes and sizes, but that day her additional pride derived from a royal land, or so she believed.

Cy: "Dyma llysiau'r dywysoges," meddai Bronwen yn llawen, yn ogystal â cheisio denu sylw Emrys, a oedd yn arwain taith arall o amgylch y gwlypdir gleision.
En: "Here are the princess's herbs," said Bronwen cheerfully, also trying to catch the attention of Emrys, who was leading another tour around the green wetlands.

Cy: Roedd ei frychau piwis yn dangos ei ddiddordeb wrth iddo wenu yn ôl arni.
En: His freckled face showed his interest as he smiled back at her.

Cy: Ond roedd Gwilym yn syllu, ei fysedd yng ngliniau'n gorweddol.
En: But Gwilym was staring, his fingers on horizontal knees.

Cy: "Nid hynny yw llysiau," meddai Gwilym yn ddrwgdybus, ei lais bron fel plismon yr anghywirdeb botanegol.
En: "That's not herbs," said Gwilym suspiciously, his voice almost like a policeman of botanical error.

Cy: "Mewn gwirionedd, mistletoe yw hynny.
En: "That's actually mistletoe."

Cy: " Roedd ei lais yn ddigon uchel i ddenu golygon atebol o'r criw marchnad.
En: His voice was loud enough to draw responsive glances from the market crowd.

Cy: Crwydrodd embaras trwy wyneb bronwen fel ton ar lan y môr, ond nid oedd hi am ildio.
En: Embarrassment washed over Bronwen's face like a wave on the seashore, but she didn't want to yield.

Cy: Roedd ei hewyllys yn gryf fel armer, yn chwilio am ffordd i drosglwyddo'r cymhlethdod â hiwmor.
En: Her will was strong as armor, searching for a way to convey the complexity with humor.

Cy: "Wel, mistletoe prin iawn," dywedodd gyda thwts bach o hyawgrwydd.
En: "Well, a very rare mistletoe," she said with a little twist of playfulness.

Cy: Cychwynnodd bobl yn chwerthin a'r niwl tew yn gludo'r twrw dros y coetir.
En: People started laughing, and the thick mist carried the noise over the woodland.

Cy: Ond daeth Gwilym ymlaen.
En: But Gwilym continued.

Cy: "Cynigiaf i brynu'r cyfan," proclaenodd, yn taflu ffi brin i mewn i'r ceiniogau.
En: "I offer to buy the lot," he proclaimed, tossing a rare fee into the coins.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn ei syfrdanu ac yn troi at ei gwallon cig.
En: This startled her and turned her to her meat chattel.

Cy: Roedd Emrys yn sefyll yn agos, ei lygaid yn canu gyda chwerthin a hoffter.
En: Emrys stood close by, his eyes ringing with laughter and fondness.

Cy: "Rwy'n edmygu eich ysbryd, Bronwen," meddai yn ysuog, heb osgoi cyfle i ddangos ei deimladau.
En: "I admire your spirit, Bronwen," he said eagerly, not missing the chance to express his feelings.

Cy: "Ac rwy'n siŵr fod pawb yma yn mwynhau gweld hyawgrwydd ddod â golau ofnadwy i unrhyw drallod.
En: "And I'm sure everyone here enjoys seeing playfulness bring dreadful light to any distress."

Cy: "Er gwaethaf y cywilydd, roedd Bronwen wedi canfod lle yn ei chalon i'r cyswllt.
En: Despite the shame, Bronwen had found a place in her heart for the connection.

Cy: Doedd angen perffeithrwydd.
En: Perfection wasn't necessary.

Cy: O'r tu hwnt i'r mysed, roedd yna ddymuniad yn ffurfio tan gromegion rhudd Emrys.
En: Beyond the mist, there was a desire forming beneath Emrys's rosy curves.

Cy: Roedd cymhlethdod wedi dod â chysylltiad lle na ragwelwyd hwnnw.
En: Complexity had brought a bond where none was anticipated.

Cy: Yn nhawelwch gyda'i gilydd, roedd y niwl, fel y cawod o haf, wedi cael y ffordd i fwy na master y mâs anghywir.
En: In the quiet togetherness, the mist, like a summer shower, had found a way to master more than just incorrect wares.

Cy: Roedd hi'n wiw nad oedd eu bywydau yn rhaid bod yn ddigynsail i rannu donioldeb a gwir ddeallwriaeth.
En: It was fitting that their lives didn't have to be extraordinary to share humor and true understanding.

Cy: A gyda hynny, roedd Bronwen a Emrys yn crwydro draw i lyfr y nos, gyda'r wlad ehangach o flaen nhw, a blodeuog o obaith.
En: And with that, Bronwen and Emrys wandered into the book of the night, with the broader land before them, blossoming with hope.

En: In Wales, summer is a special time of the year.

Cy: Mae tymor llawn bywyd a synau’n llenwi'r Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri.

En: She had organized everything with meticulous detail.

Cy: Roedd eisiau i'r diwrnod hwn gynyddu'r cwlwm rhwng nhw.

En: Gethin, the middle brother, was searching for adventure.

Cy: Roedd ei natur hyderus yn aml yn arwain at berygl.
En: His confident nature often led to danger.

Cy: Ar y llaw arall, roedd Rhys, y lleiaf, yn awyddus i brofi ei allu a sicrhau ei le yn y teulu.
En: On the other hand, Rhys, the youngest, was eager to prove his ability and secure his place in the family.

Cy: Roedd yr haul yn cynhesu uwchben, yn taflu cysgodion tal ar draws y mynyddoedd.
En: The sun warmed overhead, casting tall shadows across the mountains.

Cy: Roedd y tri brawd a chwaer yn barod i gychwyn ar eu hike, yn barod i wynebu'r tirwedd garw a llawenwrol.
En: The three siblings were ready to set off on their hike, prepared to face the rugged and joyful landscape.

Cy: Ar y llwybr, yn anffodus, daethant at fforch.
En: On the trail, unfortunately, they came to a fork.

Cy: Yma, cychwynnodd y dryswch.
En: Here, confusion began.

Cy: "Dylwn ni ddilyn y llwybr saffach," awgrymodd Carys, yn gwybod bod diogelwch yn bwysig.
En: "We should follow the safer path," suggested Carys, knowing that safety was important.

Cy: Ond roedd Gethin yn awyddus i fynd ar lwybr mwy mentrus, sydd yn edrych yn antur.
En: But Gethin was eager to take a more adventurous path, which looked like an adventure.

Cy: Nid oedd Rhys yn siŵr beth i'w wneud, ond roedd yn gwybod ei fod yn dymuno i'w llais gael ei glywed.
En: Rhys wasn't sure what to do, but he knew he wanted his voice to be heard.

Cy: Er nad oedd hi'n hoffi’r syniad, penderfynodd Carys ddilyn Gethin, gobeithio cynnal undod y teulu.
En: Even though she didn't like the idea, Carys decided to follow Gethin, hoping to maintain family unity.

Cy: Cafodd Rhys y cyfle i gymryd arweiniad hefyd, yn gyflym dilyna'r llwybr gwaith caled gyda'r ddau.
En: Rhys got the chance to take the lead too, quickly following the challenging trail with the two.

Cy: Yn sydyn, trodd yr awyr yn dywyll a dechreuodd storm enwog yr haf.
En: Suddenly, the sky turned dark and a famous summer storm began.

Cy: Roedd yn rhaid iddynt geisio lloches yn gyflym.
En: They had to quickly seek shelter.

Cy: Yng nghanol y storm, roedd cyfle i'r tri siarad eu meddyliau.
En: In the middle of the storm, there was an opportunity for the three to speak their minds.

Cy: "Dwi eisiau i bob un ohonom fod yn ddiogel," meddai Carys, yn poeni am benderfyniad Gethin.
En: "I want all of us to be safe," said Carys, worrying about Gethin's decision.

Cy: "Ond dwi eisiau antur hefyd," atebodd Gethin, yn ymwybodol o'r pwysau.
En: "But I want adventure too," replied Gethin, aware of the pressure.

Cy: "Dwi jyst eisiau eich plesio chi," ychwanegodd Rhys, yn datgelu ei amheuaeth ei hun.
En: "I just want to please you both," added Rhys, revealing his own doubts.

Cy: Daeth y storm i ben, ac roedd yr olygfa'n brydferth - yr haul yn torri trwy’r cymylau, goleuo'r dyffrynoedd gwyrddlas o’u blaenau.
En: The storm ended, and the view was beautiful - the sun breaking through the clouds, illuminating the green valleys before them.

Cy: Roedd y tri wedi dysgu gwerthfawrogi safbwyntiau'i gilydd, gan symud ymlaen gyda grym newydd o undod.
En: The three had learned to appreciate each other's perspectives, moving forward with a new strength of unity.

Cy: Wrth gerdded yn ôl i'r cychwyn, roeddent yn teimlo'n gysylltiedig mewn ffordd newydd.
En: As they walked back to the start, they felt connected in a new way.

Cy: Dysgodd Carys fod yr antur yn ychwanegu bywyd i’r daith.
En: Carys learned that adventure adds life to the journey.

Cy: Synnodd Gethin wrth sylweddoli'r gwerth mewn bod yn ofalus ar brydiau.
En: Gethin was surprised to realize the value of being careful at times.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn cerdded yn gadarnach, yn teimlo ei fod yn cael ei werthfawrogi a’i barchu.
En: Rhys walked with more confidence, feeling appreciated and respected.

Cy: Wedi'r cyfan, roedd yr aduniad wedi bod yn llwyddiant.
En: After all, the reunion had been a success.

Cy: Felly, yn y diwedd, roeddent wedi cwblhau eu taith, nid yn unig dros y bryniau a'r dyffrynnoedd, ond hefyd tuag at ddealltwriaeth dyfnach o’r teulu.
En: So, in the end, they had completed their journey, not only over the hills and valleys, but also towards a deeper understanding of the family.

En: On the path towards the summit of Yr Wyddfa, Rhian and her friend, Eilir, were walking as the sun warmed their march.

En: "Thank you, Eilir," said Rhian, realizing that peace was not only at the mountain tops.

Cy: "Dim problem," gwnaeth Eilir winc blychau, yn cydio'n ofalus ei ffêr â rhwymyn cefnogol.
