    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Ym Mharc Cenedlaethol Eryri, roedd y siop offer mynydda yn llawn cymeriad, wedi ei wreiddio ym mywyd y bryniau a'r mynyddoedd o'i chwmpas.
    En: In Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, the mountaineering equipment store was full of character, rooted in the life of the surrounding hills and mountains.

    Cy: Roedd Emlyn, Carys, a Gwyn wedi ymgasglu yno ar fore braf o haf.
    En: Emlyn, Carys, and Gwyn had gathered there on a fine summer morning.

    Cy: Roedd Emlyn yn gyffrous ond hefyd braidd yn nerfus.
    En: Emlyn was excited but also somewhat nervous.

    Cy: Roedd taith i gopa'r Wyddfa gyda'i hen ffrindiau yn agosáu.
    En: A hike to the summit of Yr Wyddfa with his old friends was approaching.

    Cy: Roedd angen iddo sicrhau bod ganddo bob darn o offer angenrheidiol.
    En: He needed to ensure he had every necessary piece of equipment.

    Cy: Fel rhywun gyda llawer o brofiad, roedd o'n ymwybodol o bwysigrwydd diogelwch, ond roedd hefyd eisiau'r taith i fod yn hwyl.
    En: As someone with a lot of experience, he was aware of the importance of safety, but he also wanted the trip to be fun.

    Cy: Yn y siop, roedd Carys yn egnïol, yn codi eitemau a chanmol eu defnydd.
    En: In the store, Carys was energetic, picking up items and praising their use.

    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.
    En: Emlyn felt torn between two extremes.

    Cy: Roedd Carys yn cynnig symlrwydd, tra roedd Gwyn yn galw am ragofalu manwl.
    En: Carys offered simplicity, while Gwyn called for detailed precaution.

    Cy: Roedd angen i Emlyn gymryd dewis doeth.
    En: Emlyn needed to make a wise choice.

    Cy: Roedd y siop yn gysgodol â grisialau pren a'r arogl o goed sypyn, yn rhoi lle i feddwl.
    En: The store was cozy with wooden displays and the scent of pine, providing a place for thought.

    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.

    Cy: Roedd ymdeimlad o gyffro yn y grŵp wrth iddyn nhw adael gyda'u dilledyn newydd a gydag edmygedd o'u gilydd.
    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.
    En: Everything was perfect on those radiant days.

    Cy: Emlyn, trwy wrando ar ei hun, oedd yn arweinydd gwirioneddol.
    En: Emlyn, by listening to himself, was the true leader.

    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: Rhys wasn't sure what to do, but he knew he wanted his voice to be heard.

    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.

    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.

    Cy: Yn awyr glir parc cenedlaethol Eryri, roedd golygfeydd yr hen fynyddoedd yn cymryd anadl.
    En: In the clear sky of Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, the views of the ancient mountains were breathtaking.

    Cy: Roedd y llecyn yn brysur gyda pheraroglau blodau gwyllt a sain cyson y gwynt.
    En: The area was bustling with the fragrance of wildflowers and the constant sound of the wind.

    Cy: Ar y llwybr tuag at ben yr Wyddfa, roedd Rhian a'i ffrind, Eilir, yn cerdded tra roedd y haul yn dwymu eu horymdaith.
    En: On the path towards the summit of Yr Wyddfa, Rhian and her friend, Eilir, were walking as the sun warmed their march.

    Cy: "Ni allaf aros i weld y machlud o'r brig," meddai Rhian, ei llygad yn sgleinio gyda brwdfrydedd.
    En: "I can't wait to see the sunset from the peak," said Rhian, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

    Cy: Roedd hi wedi bod yn dyheu am y foment hon ers wythnosau.
    En: She had been longing for this moment for weeks.

    Cy: "Mae'n well i ni fynd yn ofalus," atebodd Eilir, yn cludo'r cit cymorth cyntaf gyda'i foch yn dechrau cochi.
    En: "We better be careful," replied Eilir, carrying the first aid kit with her cheeks beginning to flush.

    Cy: Roedd hi bob amser yn fwy pragmataidd, yn poetâl am faterion ymarferol.

    Cy: Rhoddodd droed ar lawr yn ofalus, ond dyna pan deimlodd rywbeth anghywir.
    En: She placed her foot carefully on the ground, but that's when she felt something was wrong.

    Cy: Ei ffêr, yn ddiffygiol bellach yn gefnogaeth.
    En: Her ankle, now deficient as support.

    Cy: Eisteddodd Eilir yn syth, gosod llaw ysgafn ar ei hysgwydd.
    En: Eilir immediately sat down, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.

    Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i ni droi yn ôl. Mae'n rhy beryglus dros ben i fynd ymhellach."
    En: "We have to turn back. It's too dangerous to continue."

    Cy: Roedd Rhian yn dal i fod yn benderfynol, yr uchelgais o weld y machlud yn sownd yn ei chalon.
    En: Rhian was still determined, the ambition to see the sunset stuck in her heart.

    Cy: "Ond ni allaf golli'r machlud," protestiodd hi.
    En: "But I can't miss the sunset," she protested.

    Cy: "Mae mwy o fynyddoedd i'w gweld," mewn meddwl tawel Eilir.
    En: "There are more mountains to see," Eilir thought calmly.

    Cy: "Cymer dy amser, edrych o fan is. Mae am dro fan hyn yn werthfawr hefyd."
    En: "Take your time, look from a lower spot. This journey here is valuable too."

    Cy: Gydag efelychiad, cymerodd Rhian yr awgrym i ffwrdd o'i phryderon.
    En: With resignation, Rhian took the suggestion away from her worries.

    Cy: Gyda chymorth Eilir, symudasant i bwynt uchder isel, darpar lle i wylio'r haul yn prysur arfer ei gartref mewn lliwiau ag amrannau parhaol.
    En: With Eilir's assistance, they moved to a lower altitude point, a suitable place to watch the sun quickly make its home in colors with lasting blinks.

    Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw eistedd wrth ymyl ei gilydd, gyda pherlau golau melyn yn ymledu ar y mynyddoedd, sylweddolodd Rhian bod canolbwyntio ar iechyd yn bwysig gydag edmygu harddwch y byd natur hefyd.
    En: As they sat beside each other, with pearls of yellow light spreading over the mountains, Rhian realized that focusing on health is important while also admiring the beauty of nature.

    Cy: "Diolch, Eilir," meddwai Rhian, gan sylweddoli bod heddwch nid yn unig ar ben y mynyddoedd.
    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.
    En: "No problem," Eilir said with a playful wink, carefully wrapping her ankle with a supportive bandage.

    Cy: Ar y diwedd, fe fwynhasant y rhamant a'r heddwch a wnaed o'r machlud gwych, wedi ei dal oddi ar y llwybr syml.
    En: In the end, they enjoyed the romance and serenity created by the magnificent sunset, captured off the simple path.

    Cy: Roedd llwyddiant y daith yn fwy ddwfn na mynd i'r brig; roedd mewn cydnabod gwerth o beirianneg amser.
    En: The success of the journey was deeper than reaching the peak; it was in recognizing the value of engineering time.

    Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd yn dysgu camp fach arall i Rhian - sbân medru gwybod pryd i gymryd cam yn ôl.
    En: The mountains taught Rhian another small skill - knowing when to take a step back.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Roedd y ddinas wedi troi'n gysgod ei hun.
    En: The city had turned into a shadow of itself.

    Cy: Cerddai Eirian, Osian a Gwyneth drwy lonydd culion, lle roedd coed gwyllt wedi goresgyn y palasau concrit.
    En: Eirian, Osian, and Gwyneth walked through narrow lanes where wild trees had overtaken the concrete palaces.

    Cy: Roedd gwres haf yn gor-bwysleisio'r brys i ddod o hyd i'r hafan ddiogel, y caeirgrawn chwedlonol a adawyd gan ffoaduriaid cythryblus.
    En: Summer heat emphasized the urgency to find the safe haven, the legendary sanctuary left behind by troubled refugees.

    Cy: Arweiniai Eirian y ffordd, ei meddwl yn bennu rhwng penderfyniad a phechodau'r gorffennol.
    En: Eirian led the way, her mind torn between determination and past sins.

    Cy: "Rhaid i ni ffeindio'r lle-dir," meddai, ei llais yn gadarn, er bod ei chalon yn drwyddo.
    En: "We must find the sanctuary," she said, her voice firm, though her heart wavered.

    Cy: "Byddwn yn iawn," criesodd Osian, y disgleirdeb yn ei lygaid yn ymladd â'r gwygybawd o'r tirweddau trist.
    En: "We'll be fine," Osian cried out, the brightness in his eyes battling the dismal landscape's desolation.

    Cy: Roedd ef yn bob amser y ffynhonnell o obaith yn eu cwmni bach nhw.
    En: He was always the source of hope in their small company.

    Cy: Symudasant yn ofalus drwy strydoedd lle y gorweddai beiciau wedi'u torri a chariau wedi'u gadael fel cofadeiliau marwaidd.
    En: They moved cautiously through streets where broken bikes and abandoned cars lay like dead monuments.

    Cy: Yna cododd Gwyneth, y dieithryn dirgel ohonynt a ddaeth yn gyfaill cwestiynol.
    En: Gwyneth then rose, the mysterious stranger among them who had become an uncertain friend.

    Cy: Nid oedd Eirian yn gwybod a ellid ymddiried ynddi ai peidio.
    En: Eirian didn't know if she could be trusted or not.

    Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i ni fod yn ofalus," rhybuddiodd Gwyneth, alwad o ddoethineb yn ei llais.
    En: "We have to be careful," Gwyneth warned, her voice carrying a call of wisdom.

    Cy: Roedd perygl ym mhob cornel.
    En: There was danger around every corner.

    Cy: Gwylietant wrth symud, gan geisio osgoi grwpiau gelyniaethus a llechfaeau bychan.
    En: They remained vigilant as they moved, trying to avoid hostile groups and hidden traps.

    Cy: Gwelsant ambell ogof wedi'i chyfarch gan wŷs—lle roedd bywyd wedi blodeuo unwaith, nawr dim ond adgofion a oedd.
    En: Occasionally, they saw caves greeted by silence—places where life had once thrived, now merely memories.

    Cy: Daw'r tensiynau i'w uchafbwynt pan ddisgleiriodd golau traidd â malais drwy'r aroglau adfeiliedig.
    En: Tensions reached their peak when malignant light shone through the ruins.

    Cy: Cawsant eu dal yng nghanol trap gan grŵp gelyniaethus.
    En: They found themselves caught in a trap by a hostile group.

    Cy: Flachodd Osian, Eirian a Gwyneth i'r ochr, eu hysbiwriaeth ar eu hymylon.
    En: Osian, Eirian, and Gwyneth dashed to the side, their senses on edge.

    Cy: "Beth ddylem ni ei wneud?
    En: "What should we do?"

    Cy: " gofynnodd Osian yn daer.
    En: Osian asked urgently.

    Cy: "Rhaid i ni ymddiried yn ein gilydd," daeth y geiriau o enau Gwyneth, yn heriaeth i'w natur guddiedig.
    En: "We must trust each other," came the words from Gwyneth's mouth, challenging her hidden nature.

    Cy: Roedd Eirian wedi arfer dibynnu ar ei doethineb ei hun, ond trodd at Gwyneth, ei hysbryd yn bendro.
    En: Eirian was used to relying on her own wisdom, but she turned to Gwyneth, her spirit swirling.

    Cy: Eventdynt ddrysfa chwerthinllyd y llonydd, dod drwy'r prydferth i law o les.
    En: They maneuvered through the bewildering maze of lanes, emerging into the beauty of a hopeful path.

    Cy: Gwelent y llwybr clir-waith yr ochr draw.
    En: They saw the clear pathway on the other side.

    Cy: Yn ddiwedd y dydd, roedd proses o faddau yn gryf, a daliodd Eirian i law Gwyneth â ddidwyllwyd gan drachwant.
    En: At the end of the day, forgiveness was powerful, and Eirian held Gwyneth's hand sincerely, free from desire.

    Cy: Roedd mentro yn beryglus, ond yr hyn a ddaeth ohono oedd gobaith—gobaith i bawb.
    En: The venture was dangerous, but what came from it was hope—hope for everyone.

    Cy: Safai'r tri ar orwell y ddinas, cnoddaeth haf lle'r oedd canolbarth glân a golau rhwng coed.
    En: The three stood on the outskirts of the city, cradled by a summer where a clean center and light lay among the trees.

    Cy: Roedd Eirian wedi dysgu y gallai cynghreiriau, er yn ansicr i gychwyn, ddod â pherthynas ddiogel.
    En: Eirian had learned that alliances, though uncertain at first, could bring secure relationships.

    Cy: Roedd y chwedlau'n cyfeiryddu drwy eu calonnau.
    En: The legends guided through their hearts.

    Cy: Ac roeddent yn barod i ddringo'r llwybr i fynd i'r hafan ddiogel, dyfodol gwell, prynedigaeth o'r amser a gollwyd.
    En: And they were ready to climb the path to the safe haven, a better future, redemption for the lost time.
