Story Transcript:

Cy: Neb neb yn cofio pa bryd y dechreuodd y stormydd marwol chwifo trwy Gymru.
En: No one remembers when the deadly storms began to sweep through Cymru.

Cy: Y rhew wedi torri tir glas gwlad mor brydferth i fyd bwganllyd o echddygol, lle tawelwch y stormoedd oedd yr unig sain amlwg.
En: The ice had shattered the green lands of such a beautiful country into a ghostly world of chaos, where the silence of the storms was the only obvious sound.

Cy: Roedd yr haul bron a bailio dros y bryniau trwchlyd, ei feysydd yn gropian o'u pobl dan eu haflonyddu.
En: The sun was almost retreating over the dense hills, its fields crawling with its people under their unrest.

Cy: Yn y canol hon llwydni, roedd Rhiannon a Llewellyn, dau enaid camau i gysgod yr hyn a fu o Gymru annwyl.
En: In the midst of this grey, there were Rhiannon and Llewellyn, two souls stepping into the shadow of what had been their beloved Cymru.

Cy: Arwydd y ddoe ar hyd tafell tir nacw; rhwd gors oedd wedi bod yn bont fawr dros afon carlamu.
En: The sign of yesterday lay along a slice of earth yonder; a rusty marsh was once a grand bridge over a rushing river.

Cy: "Dylwn ni fyn'd 'anghyrion cyn noswaith. Mae'r gwynt yn cryfhau," meddai Rhiannon yn benderfynol, ei llygaid yn wyltcoch yn erbyn y gorwel tywyll.
En: "We should get going by nightfall. The wind is strengthening," said Rhiannon firmly, her eyes fiery against the dark horizon.

Cy: Roedd teimlad dychrynllyd iddi am y cyfnod o ffenest fer iddynt gasglu'r cyflenwadau angenrheidiol cyn i'r storm torri ato.
En: There was a terrifying feeling for her about the short window they had to gather necessary supplies before the storm broke upon them.

Cy: Llewellyn, wrth ei hochr, ysgydwodd ei ben yn ofidus.
En: Llewellyn, by her side, shook his head worriedly.

Cy: "Mae'n beryg, Rhiannon," meddai'n dawel, ond llawen.
En: "It's dangerous, Rhiannon," he said quietly, but cheerfully.

Cy: "Mae'r llwybr 'na'n berthnasol."
En: "That path is relevant."

Cy: "Rhaid i ni rhyfelu dros ein pobl," tynnodd Rhiannon yn ôl, penderfyniad yn ysgrifennu ar bob cornel ei hwynebol.
En: "We must fight for our people," Rhiannon retorted, determination written across every corner of her face.

Cy: Roedd lleisiau'r cysgodion, pobol eu cymuned, yn cryfhau yn ei chlustiau.
En: The voices of the shadows, the people of their community, were growing stronger in her ears.

Cy: Ni allai atal ffrwd o ymroddiad.
En: She couldn't halt the stream of devotion.

Cy: Roedd yr adeg St Dwynwen, ond nid am gariad oedd y golled yma, ond yn hytrach, angerdd dros oroesiad.
En: It was the time of St Dwynwen, but this loss wasn't for love, rather, a passion for survival.

Cy: Yn fan hyn wrth y bont ddrylliedig, gwelodd Rhiannon syllu y sgrawl o waith metel arw, awgrym o lwybr cudd.
En: Here by the shattered bridge, Rhiannon saw the rough metal work gazing at her, hinting at a hidden path.

Cy: "Cawn ni fwy o gyflenwadau yma," meddai, ei llais nawr fel carreg gadarn.
En: "We'll find more supplies here," she said, her voice now as firm as stone.

Cy: Dechreuon nhw fynd ar hyd i'r llwybr newydd, ond Rhiannon sylweddolodd fod amser yn gleen arnynt.
En: They began to follow the new path, but Rhiannon realized time was pressing against them.

Cy: "Gwell i mi fynd â'r rhan arall 'fyd. Gwiriwch y gro helyg"; roedd angen cynnwys prosiect bach peryglus wrth eu hwyneb.
En: "I'd better take the other part too. Check the willow grove"; there was a need to include a small, dangerous project before them.

Cy: Ond Llewellyn barodd wrth eu troed.
En: But Llewellyn stood at their feet.

Cy: "Dyw e ddim yn ddiogel i fynd ar wahân. Byddai'n gwmni, Rhiannon. Dwi'n deall yn well nawr," dywedodd, ei lais yn falch ond cynnil.
En: "It's not safe to go apart. I'd keep you company, Rhiannon. I understand better now," he said, his voice proud but subtle.

Cy: Allet weld rhannau duo'r cymylau'n roci a rhithiau'n gwneud ei ffordd draw, ac roedd synod o siâp a naws annisgwyl yn troi o amgylch.
En: You could see the dark parts of the clouds rocking and apparitions making their way across, and there was a wonder of unexpected shape and tone swirling around.

Cy: Roedden nhw'n erfyn eu llawes-llais i ddyfod rhwng cymoedd ac i geisio danfon y cladd o gyflenwadau eu cartref.
En: They were pleading for their echo to come between valleys and to try to deliver the bundle of supplies to their home.

Cy: Mae cysgodion yr anweladwy ar eu hebl, ond gwnaethant trwy bawb eu ffordd yn ôl.
En: Shadows of the unseen were on their heels, but they made their way back through it all.

Cy: Pan gyrhaeddodd y pentref gyda dogn newydd o orffennol, roedd pobl yr ardal yn llawn gobaith, eu llygaid yn brathu ac yn digwydd glein, fel llysiau mewn cyfn-tywyllle.
En: When they reached the village with a new ration of the past, the townsfolk were full of hope, their eyes shining and happening like vegetables in twilight.

Cy: Rhiannon a Llewellyn, trwodd y frwydr, sylweddolasant nawr pa mor gryf iond am ymgom ddycnwn.
En: Rhiannon and Llewellyn, through the battle, now realized how strong they really were for a steadfast conversation.

Cy: A henayo farn, daeth cyfriniaeth ac uniad â doniau.
En: And with a sigh of opinion, mystery and union with talents arrived.

Cy: Roedd y galon yn well cysgod, ac roedd Llewellyn o'r diwedd yn cofleddu y maen nhw'n llawnwr gofid gwadd, yn wynebu rhwystredigaeth a pherygl gyda hyder dearnynnewid.
En: The heart was a better shelter, and Llewellyn at last embraced that they were full of buried grief, facing frustration and danger with the confidence of renewal.

Cy: Roedd y groesffordd, unwaith, cariad wedi dwyn ei newid ein huned un bob twyll yn y dihangol llwybr.
En: The crossroads, once, had drawn its change upon their unity with every deception in the inescapable path.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd yr ysgol yn sefyll fel cerflun adfeiliedig yn nhyblygiad yr eira, ynys unig mewn byd distaw.
En: The school stood like a crumbling statue in the drift of the snow, a lonely island in a silent world.

Cy: Roedd ei ffenestri yn gwegian o ddiffyg gwydr; roedd ysgubau o eira yn diflannu ar draws yr ystafelloedd tywyll.
En: Its windows creaked for lack of glass; drifts of snow vanished across the dark rooms.

Cy: O fewn y muriau, roedd tywyllwch yn tywyllu gyda pha straeon o chwerthin plant oedd bellach yn ddim ond atgofion.
En: Within the walls, darkness deepened with what were once stories of children's laughter, now only memories.

Cy: Emyr oedd arweinydd y grŵp byd ar ôl.
En: Emyr was the leader of the group left behind.

Cy: Ers hir, roeddent yn dibynnu ar yr archfarchnad agosaf am fwyd.
En: They had long relied on the nearest grocery store for food.

Cy: Ond rŵan roedd y silffoedd gwag, gardd badfiled.
En: But now the shelves were empty, a barren garden.

Cy: Roedd Carys a Rhys bob amser yno i'w helpu, gan greu cynlluniau newydd wrth drafftiau newydd yr oerfel.
En: Carys and Rhys were always there to help him, crafting new plans against the drafts of cold.

Cy: "Rhaid i ni symud ymlaen," meddai Emyr, yn edrych ar wynebau ôl-adlewyrchol Carys a Rhys.
En: "We must move on," said Emyr, looking at the reflective faces of Carys and Rhys.

Cy: "Mae cryn dipyn o sôn am ddinas sydd â chyflenwadau nad oes neb wedi eu cael eto."
En: "There's a lot of talk about a city that has supplies no one has yet reached."

Cy: Mae Rhys yn codi ei lygaid, gwen fach ar ei wefusau.
En: Rhys lifted his eyes, a small smile on his lips.

Cy: "Rwy'n barod am antur," meddai'n fyrbwyll.
En: "I'm ready for an adventure," he said rashly.

Cy: Roedd eu penderfyniad yn galed ond yn angenrheidiol.
En: Their decision was hard but necessary.

Cy: Mae'r gaeafau'r cyfnewidfa hon yn llym.
En: The winters of this exchange were harsh.

Cy: Allan ar y ffordd, ni roddodd y tywydd gydymdeimlad o gwbl.
En: Out on the road, the weather showed no compassion at all.

Cy: Rhewllyd a merleisiog, roedd y gwynt yn addo storm annify fyr.
En: Frosty and relentless, the wind promised an unyielding storm.

Cy: Wrth gymylu'r ddinas a nodwyd ar eu map, roedd y traed yn ddrwm ac yn gylchwydd gan aeafau eira sydd wedi lludwio yn llwyr.
En: As they neared the city marked on their map, their feet were heavy and encumbered by winters of snow that had entirely shrouded them.

Cy: Yn annisgwyl, roedd yna eraill.
En: Unexpectedly, there were others.

Cy: Roedd grŵp o helwyr yn eu hamgylchynu, anadliadau'n codi'n gyflym.
En: A group of hunters surrounded them, breaths quickening.

Cy: "Beth sy'n eich dod yma?" gofynnodd un, llais caled ac amheus.
En: "What brings you here?" one asked, voice hard and suspicious.

Cy: Teimlodd Emyr â llais ei galon yn taro yn erbyn bariau ei frest.
En: Emyr felt his heart beating against the bars of his chest.

Cy: Lledaenodd ei ddwylo, yn symber.
En: He spread his hands, conciliatory.

Cy: "Nid ystyron brwydro yw... Mae gennym wybodaeth a ellir ei sylwi."
En: "There's no intention to fight... We have information that can be valuable."

Cy: Ar y cyd, trodd sgyrsiau'n gyfnewidfa.
En: Together, conversations turned into an exchange.

Cy: Arweiniodd Emyr y sgwrs, ei eiriau'n brysg a chlir fel dŵr bedw o dan iâ.
En: Emyr led the discussion, his words swift and clear like birch water under ice.

Cy: Roedd y dyddodiad gwybodaeth dan amodau amaethyddol ysgafn, a chyda hynny, sicrhau cyfran o'r cyflenwadau i'r gymuned mynd drwy'r gaeaf.
En: The transmission of knowledge was under mild agricultural terms, ensuring a share of the supplies for the community to get through the winter.

Cy: Wrth iddynt ddychwelyd i'r ysgol, llwythog â luniadau, gwelodd Emyr eu tynged yn cael ei selio, ond mewn cyfeillgarwch newydd.
En: As they returned to the school, laden with provisions, Emyr saw their destiny sealed, but in new friendship.

Cy: Deellodd ei bod ystyron cyfathrebu mewn dianc o gythrudd wrth uno.
En: He realized the meaning of communication in escaping turmoil through unity.

Cy: Fel petai'r eira'n teimlo eu ryddiad, dechreuodd y rhew ddadmer, gan gwshio i mewn i brosiect haul newydd.
En: As if the snow felt their relief, the frost began to thaw, rushing into a new sunshine project.

Cy: Llwyddodd Emyr i droi'r byd o oerfel yn wawr addawol.
En: Emyr succeeded in turning the world of cold into a promising dawn.

Cy: Roeddent bellach wedi dysgu'r gwers pwysig am y grym o gydweithio, unrhyw gobaith ar gyfer cymuned newydd yn llonni gan frwydro cyd-fyw.
En: They had now learned the important lesson of the power of cooperation, with any hope for a new community brightened by the struggle to live together.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore oer o aeaf ar draeth Tywyn, y donnau glas gyda'r gwynt yn chwythu yn gryf.
En: On a cold winter morning on traeth Tywyn, the blue waves with the wind blowing strongly.

Cy: Ymhell i ffwrdd, gallai Emrys weld cymylau du yn ymgasglu yn y gorwel.
En: Far away, Emrys could see dark clouds gathering on the horizon.

Cy: Roedd Emrys yn pysgotwr lleol, gyda chalon garedig a chysylltiad dwfn â'r môr.
En: Emrys was a local fisherman, with a kind heart and a deep connection to the sea.

Cy: Roedd o'n nabod pob cwr o'r ardal, ac roedd y traeth yn rhan o'i fyd.
En: He knew every corner of the area, and the beach was part of his world.

Cy: Yn sydyn, nododd Emrys anifail yn y tywod.
En: Suddenly, Emrys spotted an animal in the sand.

Cy: Roedd dolffin wedi cael ei hynnan ar y lan, gan geisio dianc ond yn methu.
En: A dolphin had beached itself, trying to escape but failing.

Cy: Roedd y bloeddio'n uchel a pheryglus, gan wneud i galon Emrys guro’n gyflym.
En: The cries were loud and dangerous, making Emrys's heart beat quickly.

Cy: Roedd angen help ar frys.
En: Urgent help was needed.

Cy: Emrys oedd y cyntaf i gyrraedd, ac roedd ei feddwl yn ffocysu ar un peth - achub y dolffin cyn i'r storm ddynesu.
En: Emrys was the first to arrive, and his mind focused on one thing - saving the dolphin before the storm approached.

Cy: Wedi i Gwilym, biolegydd morol sy'n ymweld â'r ardal, cyrraedd, aeth Emrys ato gyda bryder yn ei lais.
En: After Gwilym, a marine biologist visiting the area, arrived, Emrys went to him with concern in his voice.

Cy: "Gwilym! Mae'n rhaid i ni achub y dolffin cyn cyrhaeddiad y storm," meddai Emrys, gan ddangos y storm rymus yn y pellter.
En: "Gwilym! We must save the dolphin before the storm arrives," said Emrys, pointing to the powerful storm in the distance.

Cy: Roedd Gwilym yn ymddangos yn amheus.
En: Gwilym appeared doubtful.

Cy: "Mae’r cymeriant yn ddwfn. Oes modd achub?" ofynnodd Gwilym gyda ragfarn.
En: "The tide is deep. Is it possible to save?" Gwilym asked with skepticism.

Cy: Er hynny, roedd Branwen, llais adnabyddus yn yr ardal dros hawliau anifeiliaid, yn sefyll wrth ochr Emrys.
En: However, Branwen, a well-known voice in the area for animal rights, stood by Emrys's side.

Cy: "Rhaid trio. Mae caru’r môr yn fwy na geiriau," ychwanegodd, gan dalu sylw iddo.
En: "We must try. Loving the sea is more than words," she added, paying attention to him.

Cy: Wedi peth pwyll a phwer HAER, penderfynodd Gwilym ymuno â'r ymdrech.
En: After some deliberation and the power of determination, Gwilym decided to join the effort.

Cy: Roedd yr heddlu o dan arweiniad Emrys a Branwen, ac wrth i ddwfnau'r tywod glos rhyw hamdden dwyn gan eu traed. Gadawsant yr ymdeimlad o hefiant sy'n nodweddu gwlad Cymru.
En: The group was led by Emrys and Branwen, and as the depths of the sand threatened to hinder their progress, they felt a sense of urgency characteristic of Wales.

Cy: Dechreuon nhw i siglo’r dolffin, gan barchu ei bregusrwydd, tipyn o ymdrech ond gwyliadwriaeth fanwl.
En: They began to move the dolphin, respecting its fragility, putting in effort while being carefully observant.

Cy: Roedd y gwynt yn chwythu gyda llawer o gryfder ond nid oedd cynllun Emrys a'r grŵp yn chwalu.
En: The wind was blowing with great strength, but Emrys's plan and the group's spirit did not falter.

Cy: Y gwynt oedd eu cyd-ffrind erbyn hyn wrth iddyn nhw gario'r dolffin yn ôl i'r dyfnderoedd diogel.
En: The wind became their ally as they carried the dolphin back to the safe depths.

Cy: Wedi pefrio gyda'r dŵr, roedd Emrys yn osgoi golwg llawn tymer ffyrnig a dewr.
En: Bathed in water, Emrys avoided a look full of fierce and brave temper.

Cy: Fe lwyddodd yn erbyn y tywydd ac yn erbyn y disgwyl er gwaetha'r erbynol.
En: He succeeded against the weather and against the odds despite the difficulties.

Cy: Mae'r storm, fel eicon o geisio, bellach yn tynged annerchyddol iddo.
En: The storm, as a symbol of challenge, now addressed his unyielding spirit.

Cy: Pan wnaethant i gyd lwyddo iðo i'r dyfnderau, gwelont y dolffin yn marchio drwy'r tonnau gyda diolchdirysg a bytterwir yn atgof.
En: When they all succeeded in returning the dolphin to the depths, they watched it march through the waves with gratitude and buoyancy in memory.

Cy: Roedd yn haws na'r disgwyl, ond eto hi oedd, yn abl i achub.
En: It was easier than expected, yet there it was, able to be saved.

Cy: Ar ôl hynny, aeth Emrys ag ysbryd o hapusrwydd wrth weld y cyd-dyniad a ffrindiaeth yn adlewyrchu yn eu hanesion personol.
En: Afterwards, Emrys moved with a spirit of happiness seeing the cooperation and friendship reflected in their personal stories.

Cy: Dros amser, daeth Gwilym o ddifrif i ddeall pwysigrwydd gwybodaeth leol a phrofiad.
En: Over time, Gwilym came to seriously understand the importance of local knowledge and experience.

Cy: Roedd hefyd yn rhywbeth a newidiodd y dirwedd ymddiried yn ehangach.
En: It was also something that changed the landscape of broader trust.

Cy: Felly, ar dudalen traethau Tywyn, mae stori o ffrindiau annisgwyl yn sefyll ac yn dangos'r gwir da a thangnefedd wrth symud ymlaen i heleb oddi ar ddinasoedd a chlorian.
En: So, on the pages of traethau Tywyn, there is a story of unexpected friends standing and showing the true goodness and peace moving beyond cities and scales.

Cy: Roedd pawb, yn eu ffordd eu hunain, wedi dysgu bod y môr a’i wrthdaro ar ei weak rhwng llawnder a gwacter.
En: Everyone, in their own way, had learned that the sea and its confrontations were at their weakest between fullness and emptiness.

Cy: Roedd ymddiried mewn atgof mewn amseroedd eu rhyfedd, ac ymddiried y gerddoriaeth oedd fforddiadwy.
En: There was trust in memory during odd times, and belief in music was affordable.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae’r gwynt oer yn chwythu trwy Barc Cenedlaethol Eryri, gan lenwi’r awyr gyda rhew serennog.
En: The cold wind blows through Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, filling the air with starry frost.

Cy: Roedd Rhys a Carys ar eu taith arferol, ond y tro hwn, roedd y daith yn fwy heriol.
En: Rhys and Carys were on their usual hike, but this time, the journey was more challenging.

Cy: Roedd gaeaf rhwng y mynyddoedd yn braf ac yn difrifol.
En: Winter between the mountains was both beautiful and severe.

Cy: Roedd Rhys yn cario ei gamera, yn barod i ddal delwedd berffaith o eira’r copa.
En: Rhys carried his camera, ready to capture the perfect image of the snowy summit.

Cy: Roedd Carys, mwyaf parod, yn sinc yn dal pecyn cymorth cyntaf yn ei sach.
En: Carys, more prepared, had a first aid kit ready in her bag.

Cy: "Rwy'n siŵr y byddwn ni'n cyrraedd y copa," meddai Rhys â gwên.
En: "I'm sure we will reach the summit," said Rhys with a smile.

Cy: Roedd ei lygaid yn disgleirio dan y syniad o gipio llun trwy lens ei gamera.
En: His eyes shone with the idea of capturing a photo through his camera lens.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn cysgu wrth ei ochr, teimlo’n ychydig o bryder.
En: Carys was walking beside him, feeling a bit anxious.

Cy: Roedd yn adnabod Rhys yn dda; roedd ychydig yn benderfynol weithiau, ond roedd hi’n gwybod bod ef hefyd yn fregus yn y gaeaf.
En: She knew Rhys well; he was somewhat determined at times, but she also knew he was vulnerable in winter.

Cy: "Mae'n iawn, ond rhaid i ni fod yn ofalus, Rhys," atebodd Carys yn dawel.
En: "It's fine, but we must be careful, Rhys," replied Carys quietly.

Cy: Roedd ei meddwl yn llawn atgofion o golledion y gorffennol, a’r ofn collwi eto.
En: Her mind was filled with memories of past losses and the fear of losing again.

Cy: Wrth iddynt wneud eu ffordd i fyny’r rhan uchaf o’r trac, dechreuodd y gwynt dod yn gryfach.
En: As they made their way up the highest part of the trail, the wind began to strengthen.

Cy: Dechreuodd Rhys deimlo chwerthinog yn ei anadlu.
En: Rhys started to feel breathless.

Cy: Stopiodd am eiliad, ei wyneb wedi troi ychydig yn wyn.
En: He paused for a moment, his face turning a bit pale.

Cy: "Rydw i’n iawn," meddai’n siriol, ond roedd Carys yn gallu gweld y lledrith yn ei lygaid.
En: "I'm fine," he said cheerfully, but Carys could see the illusion in his eyes.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod ei fod yn brwydro ac, yn sydyn, gwelodd ei wyneb sweud â phoeri.
En: She knew he was struggling and, suddenly, she saw his face sweat and shiver.

Cy: "Rhys! Saf!" neidiodd Carys i’w ymyl, yn ei gefnogi.
En: "Rhys! Stop!" Carys jumped to his side, supporting him.

Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod yn union beth i'w wneud, gan ddisgyn ar ei hyfforddiant i ddefnyddio'r fesa cyntaf.
En: She knew exactly what to do, relying on her training to use the first aid kit.

Cy: Anadlodd Rhys yn dynn, rhyfeddol bod Carys wedi paratoi llwyr i’w helpu.
En: Rhys breathed heavily, amazed that Carys was fully prepared to help him.

Cy: "Diolch, Carys," gweiddi Rhys yn anodd wrth iddo adennill ei hanadl.
En: "Thank you, Carys," Rhys gasped difficultly as he regained his breath.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn edrych yn benderfynol, gydag ofn yn ei chalon.
En: Carys looked determined, with fear in her heart.

Cy: "Gadewch i ni droi yn ôl. Mae’n bwysig cadw’n ddiogel," ymbilio Carys, gan cuddio ei hofn tan ei phenderfyniad diogelwch.
En: "Let's turn back. It's important to stay safe," pleaded Carys, hiding her fear behind her determination for safety.

Cy: Gyda phenderfynu ac amynedd, trodd y ddau yn ôl, gan ddisgyn yr hyn a aeth yn fyny.
En: With determination and patience, the two turned back, descending what they had climbed.

Cy: Yng nghanol eu caerau, trodd Rhys a chafodd ei hudo gan olygfa na welodd erioed o’r blaen: haul y gwanwyn yn plygi ar lyn rhewllyd.
En: Amidst their retreat, Rhys turned and was captivated by a view he had never seen before: the spring sun reflecting on an icy lake.

Cy: Roedd yn tynnu llun, yn gwybod ei fod wedi cael yr olygfa ddelfrydol.
En: He took a photo, knowing he had captured the ideal scene.

Cy: "Efallai nad y wnaethom gyrraedd y copa, ond dwi’n gweld pwysicach na’r llun: diogelwch," sylweddola Rhys yn dawel, wrth iddynt symud ymlaen yn ddiogel tuag at wersyllfaen.
En: "Maybe we didn't reach the summit, but I see something more important than the photo: safety," Rhys realized quietly, as they moved safely towards the campsite.

Cy: Eith Carys yn ysbryd newydd, yn teimlo’n gryfach yn ei gallu i gefnogi a gofalu am eraill.
En: Carys felt renewed, feeling stronger in her ability to support and care for others.

Cy: Roedd teithi Rhys a Carys wedi newid, nid gyda dathlu o gyflawniad y copa, ond o barch am y siwrnai ei hun a’r gwersi a ddysgwyd.
En: The journey of Rhys and Carys had changed, not with the celebration of reaching the summit, but with respect for the journey itself and the lessons learned.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn dawel, cerddai Carys, Dylan, ac Eira drwy goedwig dwys Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog.
En: Quietly, Carys, Dylan, and Eira walked through the dense forest of Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog.

Cy: Amgylchedd hudolus o dan ei haelwyd wen o eira.
En: An enchanting environment lay beneath its white blanket of snow.

Cy: Roedd y coed, fel colofnau mawr, yn hongian dros y llwybr.
En: The trees, like great columns, hung over the path.

Cy: Ar wyneb y ddaear, roedd yr eira'n gorchuddio'r dail, gan roi teimlad llithrig i'r llwybr o dan eu traed.
En: On the ground, the snow covered the leaves, giving the trail beneath their feet a slippery feel.

Cy: Roedd mwy o waith cerdded ar eu blaenau, gyda rhaeadr yn aros ar ddiwedd y daith.
En: There was more walking ahead, with a waterfall waiting at the end of the journey.

Cy: Roedd y gaeaf yn danbaid ond hardd.
En: Winter was fierce yet beautiful.

Cy: Er bod Carys yn arfer bod yn anturus, roedd poeri hynod ofn uchder yn ei chalon.
En: Although Carys was usually adventurous, she had an unusual fear of heights in her heart.

Cy: Bryd hynny, roedd hi wedi arfer gweld eu ffrindiau, Dylan ac Eira, yn llwyddo i ddringo'r llethrau serth hynny o'r blaen.
En: She was used to seeing her friends, Dylan and Eira, succeed in climbing those steep slopes before.

Cy: Roedd hi'n dymuno dringo i ben y rhaeadr gorau ganddi, ond byddai'n rhaid iddi wynebu ei hofn.
En: She longed to climb to the top of her favorite waterfall, but she would have to face her fear.

Cy: "C'mon, Carys," meddai Dylan, yn brysurach nag erioed, "mae'r llwybr yn edrych yn heriol, ond gelli di wneud hynny.
En: "C'mon, Carys," said Dylan, more eager than ever, "the trail looks challenging, but you can do it."

Cy: "Llithrodd Dylan a symudodd gamau flwyddyn nesaf, gan adael olion traed clir yn yr eira.
En: Dylan slipped and moved a step further, leaving clear footprints in the snow.

Cy: Roedd Eira yn gwenu yn gynnes, ei enaid yn llawn o hyder yng nghymdeithas y croesi a byddai Carys yn llwyddo i gyflawni ei nod.
En: Eira smiled warmly, her spirit full of confidence in the journey and that Carys would succeed in achieving her goal.

Cy: Ond, roedd hithau'n teimlo ei dwylo'n crynu, gan salwch from the idea o edych dros yr ymyl honno.
En: But she felt her hands trembling, sick from the idea of looking over that edge.

Cy: Fel arfer, ni fyddai Carys byth, nac ychwaith yn crwydro gerllaw unrhyw le uchel.
En: Typically, Carys would neither wander near nor approach any high place.

Cy: Ond heddiw, roedd ei dyhead i oresgyn ei ofn yn gryfach nag erioed.
En: But today, her desire to overcome her fear was stronger than ever.

Cy: Penderfynodd i ymlwybro i fyny llwybr mwy caled ond llai serth.
En: She decided to trek up a tougher but less steep path.

Cy: Wrth gyrraedd pen y rhaeadr, roedd yr olygfa yn rhyfeddol.
En: Upon reaching the top of the waterfall, the view was astonishing.

Cy: Roedd ei galon yn curo'n gyflym wrth iddi edrych lawr, mawredd y rhaeadr yn syfrdanol, wedi'i rewi'n chwilcog.
En: Her heart beat rapidly as she looked down, the grandeur of the frozen waterfall was breathtaking.

Cy: "O gwmpas y byd, Carys!
En: "Around the world, Carys!"

Cy: " gwaeddodd Eira.
En: Eira shouted.

Cy: "Rhaid iti weld hyn.
En: "You must see this."

Cy: "Trodd Carys ei lygaid ac edrychai'n llawn ofn i lawr i'r dyfnder.
En: Carys turned her eyes and looked full of fear down into the depths.

Cy: Cododd llais Carys yn dawel, "Gallaf wneud hyn," meddai wrth ei hun.
En: Her voice rose quietly, "I can do this," she told herself.

Cy: Ei phalpitation yn anhymladd i hamdden.
En: Her palpitations were relentless to subside.

Cy: Roedd teimlad o foddhad yn taro Carys yn sydyn, ac ymdeiml o gryfder newydd.
En: A feeling of satisfaction suddenly struck Carys, and a sense of new strength.

Cy: Teimlai fel cythraul—fel petai wedi goresgyn mawr bwystfil.
En: She felt like a demon—like she had conquered a great beast.

Cy: Yng nghysgod y rhaeadr berffaith honno, roedd hi wedi canfod y dewrder i oresgyn ei ofnau.
En: In the shadow of that perfect waterfall, she had found the courage to overcome her fears.

Cy: Mae’r daith i’r rhaeadr wedi’i chwblhau, ond bu teithiau mawrion i’w gwneud ymlaen.
En: The journey to the waterfall was complete, but there were great journeys yet to be undertaken.

Cy: Daeth Carys i lawr o’r rhaeadr gyda’i gilydd, ond hefyd gilydd o ddewrder.
En: Carys came down from the waterfall together, but also together with courage.

Cy: Wrth gerdded ôl i lawr gyda Dylan ac Eira, roedd gwen ar ei hwyneb – gwyn na welwyd o’r blaen.
En: As she walked back down with Dylan and Eira, a grin was on her face—one not seen before.

Cy: Roedd ei hofn yn ail nifer mawr o'i gorffennol.
En: Her fear had become a large number of her past.

Cy: Gyda phob cam ar ôl, teimlai Carys yn fwy parod i wynebu uwch-uchelderau bywyd arall.
En: With each step afterward, Carys felt more ready to face the higher altitudes of another life.

Cy: Llwybrau'r Bannau Brycheiniog roedd ynddo ddim ond cychwyn bywyd newydd.
En: The trails of Bannau Brycheiniog were just the beginning of a new life.
