Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd y gwynt y tu allan yn chwythu'r dail hydref, gan greu symffoni orffwyll o liwiau'r tymor wrth iddynt ddisgyn wrth y ffenestri mawrion.
En: The wind outside was blowing the autumn leaves, creating a wild symphony of seasonal colors as they fell past the large windows.

Cy: Y tu mewn i'r Tech Hub Cafe, roedd arogl cryf coffi yn llenwi'r aer, cynhesu'r gofod gyda naws gynnes.
En: Inside the Tech Hub Cafe, the strong aroma of coffee filled the air, warming the space with a cozy atmosphere.

Cy: Eisteddodd Dylan a Gwenda wrth fwrdd yng nghanol y caffi, swatio ar gadeiriau modern ac esmwyth.
En: Dylan and Gwenda sat at a table in the middle of the cafe, nestled into modern and comfortable chairs.

Cy: Roedd Dylan yn archddyweddiwr meddalwedd uchel ei ofn, gafael cadarn ar ei fwg coffi, ei lygaid yn llenwi â phryder.
En: Dylan, a nervous software architect, held his coffee mug tightly, his eyes filled with concern.

Cy: Gwenda, yr un llawdriniwr prosiect gyda gwên mor fawr ag ydir pryd ferw ei thacyn, eisteddodd gyferbyn.
En: Gwenda, a project manager with a smile as wide as the edge of her steaming mug, sat opposite him.

Cy: "Gwenda," dechreuodd Dylan yn frysiog, "beth oedd dy farn di am yr ebost gan y bos?"
En: "Gwenda," Dylan started hastily, "what did you think of the email from the boss?"

Cy: Disgwyliai Gwenda yn awgrymog wrth gofio'r neges ansicr a chadwedig a ddaeth bore heddiw.
En: Gwenda pondered, recalling the uncertain and guarded message that came in this morning.

Cy: "O, ti'n gwybod Sut mae 'n bos," atebodd yn rhwydd, "nag ond fydd rhaid i ni ddisgwyl tŷ sicr."
En: "Oh, you know how the boss is," she replied easily, "we'll just have to wait and see."

Cy: Ond roedd Dylan yn ansicr, chwilfrydig, am yr hyn a allai fod wedi’i golli.
En: But Dylan was uncertain, curious about what might have been missed.

Cy: "Beth os yw hyn yn golygu newyddion mawr i’r cwmni?" buodd o wrth gwrs, "lle gall gael effaith ar fy swydd?"
En: "What if this means big news for the company?" he wondered aloud, "where it could impact my job?"

Cy: Atebodd Gwenda, yn ymgais i’w goflaethu, "Ddim rhaid poeni llawer.
En: Gwenda answered, attempting to reassure him, "No need to worry too much.

Cy: Siȗn, yr ysgrifennydd, soniodd wrthyf am rywbeth — ond mail na ddywedodd 'na oroch na sioniau bod unrhyw beth caledol ar y gorwel."
En: Siȗn, the secretary, mentioned something to me — but she didn’t say there were any concrete plans on the horizon."

Cy: Yn blynoyn sydyn, dechreuodd Dylan gynllunio yn ei ben.
En: Suddenly, Dylan started planning in his head.

Cy: Roedd angen gwybodaeth ychwanegol.
En: He needed additional information.

Cy: "Beth oedd Siȗn wedi clywed? Na ai’n bosib fod y cwmni'n ailstrwythuro?
En: "What did Siȗn hear? Is it possible the company is restructuring?

Cy: A ydy hynny'n wir?"
En: Is that true?"

Cy: Gwenaodd Gwenda ond roedd am swci, amma neu dramor.
En: Gwenda smiled but was a bit evasive, abroad or domestic.

Cy: “Nid yw hynny'n glywir sawl gwaith.”
En: "That's not something that's heard often."

Cy: Gohiriodd Dylan ei ddiod, ei dwrndod wedi cryfhau, roedd vel a choodent o ddiddig in esiamplwr.
En: Dylan postponed his drink, his determination strengthening, he was like an explorer in anticipation.

Cy: Ond doeth innior amser yn cydrwrydiaeth os agorwyd hyd atgym marsir i'r cwmni.
En: The timing was wise to collaborate if they even opened up a margin for the company.

Cy: Prepluol oedd, i dylunio terfynol gerta edrych ar gyfer am ddre.
En: It was crucial, to design a final look for a move.

Cy: Mae roi 'chi'n dda’r addas, “Beth am gysylltu â'r bos a mynd ar srŷnd?”
En: “How about contacting the boss and getting clarification?”

Cy: Cydsyniodd Gwenda, gwiw gadw'r glen gofio.
En: Gwenda agreed, it was wise to keep records of the conversation.

Cy: "Mae well i ni gael esboniad, ar adeg mynd i gymer gwrthgair," amygodd am gylianta.
En: "We better get an explanation, at the time we need to be confident," she implied cautiously.

Cy: "Dwi ddim am ryngweithio rhagor heb gyfaddef wrth fy hun fy nghamgymeriad."
En: "I don’t want to engage further without admitting my own mistake."

Cy: Cyn pen ffa, cytunasant.
En: Soon, they agreed.

Cy: Yn hytrach na chaniatáu dyfalu, byddent yn chwilio am atebion go iawn.
En: Rather than allowing speculation, they would seek real answers.

Cy: Dwedodd eu bod rhaid cymharde austodd yn orfydfarn a rhoi gwerth i'w weledigaeth—cyfrifoldeb effeithiol.
En: They said it was essential to analyze objectively and give value to their vision—effective responsibility.

Cy: Am y tro, roedd y tyndra'n lleihau.
En: For now, the tension lessened.

Cy: Dysgodd Dylan y pŵer i dderbyn eglurhad yn lle bwydo gofidon bwrpasol.
En: Dylan learned the power of seeking clarification instead of feeding unnecessary worries.

Cy: Ar yr saith, fe ddeallodd Gwenda bod hi'n bwysig peidio â lledaenu siwrgens yn siwgria mwy.
En: Meanwhile, Gwenda understood the importance of not spreading baseless rumors.

Cy: Yn swf synigwedd, oedd hi, roedd yr het o rwydflu yn hyfryddi as nawr teimlad gwir yn ywybodaeth.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yr oedd awyrgylch crasboeth ac oerni Hydrefol yn llenwi'r awyr wrth i Eira a Gareth gychwyn ar daith eu bywyd.
En: The atmosphere of scorching heat and autumnal chill filled the air as Eira and Gareth embarked on the journey of their lives.

Cy: Yr oedd y ddau yn eistedd mewn car bach, llawn cerrig a dail melynion, gan deithio trwy dirwedd anhygoel Eryri.
En: The two were sitting in a small car, full of stones and yellow leaves, traveling through the incredible landscape of Eryri.

Cy: Roedd eu teithiau drosodd drwy bentrefi bychain, addurnedig â chalonau dynol mewn ffenestri a phwmpenni’n gwenu’n wên ar hyd y llwybrau gefeillio.
En: Their travels took them through small villages, adorned with human hearts in windows and pumpkins smiling along the twinned paths.

Cy: Eira, gyda mapiau wedi’u trefnu’n ofalus wrth ei ochr, roedd yn gwybod lle bob cilometr ymlaen.
En: Eira, with maps carefully arranged by her side, knew the location of every kilometer ahead.

Cy: "Mae rhaid i ni fynd i’r lle cywir," meddai, ei llais yn llawn penderfyniad.
En: "We have to go to the right place," she said, her voice full of determination.

Cy: Roedd gan ei thad hoff fan ar gopa Mynyddion Eryri, lle roedd bob amser yn stopio ac yn edrych draw at ddau o'r llynnoedd hyfrytaf.
En: Her father had a favorite spot on the summit of the Eryri Mountains, where he always stopped and looked over two of the loveliest lakes.

Cy: Heddiw, dyma lle bydden nhw'n gwasgaru'i lwch.
En: Today, this is where they would scatter his ashes.

Cy: Ond Gareth, bellach, roedd wedi ei fygwth gan yr atgofau aflonydd bu’n cymryd rhan gyda’u tad. "Dylai pethau fod yn wahanol," chwythodd yntau drwy’i ddannedd.
En: But Gareth, now plagued by unsettling memories of times he'd spent with their father, said, "Things should have been different," through gritted teeth.

Cy: Roedd yr ymdeimlad o bechod yn ei frifo’n ddifrifol; herfa bob cam y ffordd.
En: The sense of guilt was severely wounding him; a challenge every step of the way.

Cy: Gwrthododd Eira adael y tensiwn eu cysylltiad niweidio’r nod a roedden nhw am gyflawni.
En: Eira refused to let the tension in their relationship harm the goal they wanted to achieve.

Cy: "Mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n gwneud hyn," dywedodd yn dyner.
En: "It's important that we do this," she said gently.

Cy: Roedd y ffordd yn troi oddi ar y prif lwybr, gan ddod â nhw wyneb yn wyneb gyda’r rhugyl ym mhobman, y coed yn dawnsio mewn cynnwrf euraid o'u cwmpas.
En: The road turned off the main path, bringing them face to face with the heather everywhere, the trees dancing in a golden frenzy around them.

Cy: Yna, fel gelyn yr oeddent wedi’i anwybyddu, torrodd yn glir car y teulu.
En: Then, like an ignored enemy, the family car broke down.

Cy: Dim trydan. Dim erthyglau ar eu ffordd bellach.
En: No power. No articles on their way anymore.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn rhuthro allan, yn manteisio ar gyfleoedd i gael gwared ar ei boen, wrth ei chwaer a alwodd am gymorth gan unrhyw un fyddai'n pasio.
En: Gareth rushed out, seizing opportunities to rid himself of his pain, while his sister called for assistance from anyone passing by.

Cy: Ond yr oedd Gareth eisiau cymryd mantais o’r munud tawel, cael sgwrs gyda’i chwaer.
En: But Gareth wanted to take advantage of the quiet moment to have a conversation with his sister.

Cy: "Wyt ti'n meddwl am amseroedd gwael yn unig?" gofynnodd Gareth, ei lygaid yn dwfn a phell.
En: "Do you only think of bad times?" Gareth asked, his eyes deep and distant.

Cy: "Dw i ddim wedi anghofio," atebodd Eira, "ond rhaid i ni hefyd gofio’r amseroedd da."
En: "I haven't forgotten," replied Eira, "but we must also remember the good times."

Cy: Tra'r ddaear yn dynn o dan eu traed, daeth y ddau i ddeall fod y man penodol llai o bwys nag efe rywle, lle roeddent yn gallu rhannu eu gofidiau a'u llawenydd.
En: While the ground held tight beneath their feet, the two came to understand that the specific spot was less important than being somewhere where they could share their sorrows and joys.

Cy: Trwy sŵn y dail yn symud, daethant i bendant: byddent yn dewis lle hardd gerllaw. Lle a oedd yn llefaru o'r llawen ac o'r chwerw tuag atynt.
En: Through the sound of the moving leaves, they came to a conclusion: they would choose a beautiful nearby location, which spoke both joy and bitterness to them.

Cy: "Hyn fydd y lle," dywedodd Gareth yn dawel, gyda thwf gobaith.
En: "This will be the place," Gareth said quietly, with a growing sense of hope.

Cy: Ar ben bryn bach, daeth cyfle i’r ddau wared ar lwch eu tad.
En: At the top of a small hill, the two found an opportunity to let go of their father's ashes.

Cy: Gwnaethon nhw hi’n ei ffordd: nid yn berffaith, ond eiliad o gyfeillgarwch a rhyddhad.
En: They did it in their own way: not perfectly, but as a moment of camaraderie and relief.

Cy: Roedd Eira wedi dysgu rhywbeth gwerthfawr.
En: Eira had learned something valuable.

Cy: Nid oedd popeth angen bod yn ôl cynllun strwythuredig.
En: Not everything needed to be according to a structured plan.

Cy: Dyw Gareth, yn ei dro, wedi cael cyfle i symud ymlaen o’i bechn.
En: Gareth, in turn, had the chance to move on from his guilt.

Cy: Roeddent ill dau yn hŷn o’r profiad, yn addaw dim mwy na'r teimlad braf o adael llonydd lle roedd angen.
En: They both grew older from the experience, promising nothing more than the pleasant feeling of leaving stillness where it was needed.

Cy: A dyna fel y gorffennodd daith arddangosus, llawn deimladau tywyll a calonau symudol, yn adeiladu newydd ystyr o gartref mewn alawon Eryri.
En: And so ended an eventful journey, full of dark emotions and moving hearts, building a new sense of home in the melodies of Eryri.

Cy: Roedd y cwmwl difaru yn codi, yn rhoi ffordd i aelwydydd newydd o ddealltwriaeth a maddeuant.
En: The cloud of regret lifted, giving way to new hearths of understanding and forgiveness.

Cy: Mae ei lygaid yn disgleirio wrth iddynt eistedd gyda'i gilydd, yn agos at wal y tonnau.
En: His eyes sparkled as they sat together, close to the wall of waves.

Cy: "Do, mae hwn yn noson arbennig," atebodd Gwyneth, ei llais yn ddoniol a gwastad, ond gyda elfen o'n hiraeth anniddig.
En: "Yes, this is a special night," replied Gwyneth, her voice playful and steady, but with an element of restless yearning.

Cy: "Rydw i'n hoffi'r syniad o ddathlu'r gorffennol a'r newydd.
En: "I like the idea of celebrating the past and the new."

Cy: "Wrth i gainc taro yn y bonfire, mae Gwyneth yn dweud straeon o'i hen berthnasoedd.
En: As a branch crackles in the bonfire, Gwyneth tells stories of her past relationships.

Cy: Mae'r lleisiau sy'n crynhoi yn y gylch a'r haul yn mynd i lawr.
En: The voices gather in the circle and the sun goes down.

Cy: Mae Rhys yn gwrando gyda dealltwriaeth dawel, yn rhannu ei golled ei hun am y tro cyntaf yn hir.

En: "It's hard not to be afraid throughout it all," said Rhys.

Cy: "Ond, dwi’n meddwl mae Nant Gŵyl y Neidr yn berffaith i ryw fath o bwynt newydd.
En: "But, I think Nant Gŵyl y Neidr is perfect for some kind of new point."

Cy: ""Os ydy hynny’n wir?
En: "Is that true?"

Cy: Mae Rhys yn edrych tuag at orwel y môr.
En: Rhys looks towards the sea horizon.

Cy: "Efallai y gallwn ni ddarganfod nhw gyda'n gilydd," dywedodd, gyda rhieni newydd-deitl.
En: "Perhaps we can discover them together," he said, with newfound courage.

Cy: Mae'r haul cyntaf yn dawnsio'r bore union a'r golau dysglaid nhw am ddyddiau gwell i ddod.
En: The first light of dawn shone on the morning, hinting at better days to come.

Cy: O'ch golwyn gyffredin, ddodwyd mwy na goleuni.
En: From a shared perspective, more than light was brought forth.

Cy: Roedd yn dod â gobaith, tanwydd, a chyfeillgarwch newydd sbon.
En: It brought hope, fuel, and brand-new friendship.

Cy: Roedden nhw wedi darganfod nid yn unig gobaith, ond ffrindiaeth go iawn, gan adael straeon a phoenau'r gorffennol ar y traeth ychydig bell.
En: They had discovered not only hope, but a true friendship, leaving the stories and pains of the past on the beach some distance away.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i'r dydd yn lleddfu a'r nos yn agosáu, roedd awyrgylch awyrgylch arbennig yn Llyn Tegid.
En: As the day softened and the night approached, there was a special atmosphere at Llyn Tegid.

Cy: Taflu lliwiau’r hydref ar y dŵr tawel, roedd golau’r lampau yn pefrio o amgylch y llyn.
En: Casting the autumn colors on the calm water, the light from the lamps sparkled around the lake.

Cy: Roedd Carwyn yn sefyll wrth lan y dŵr, ei galon yn curo gyda chyffro a nerfusrwydd.
En: Carwyn stood by the water's edge, his heart beating with excitement and nervousness.

Cy: Roedd y diwrnod yn arbennig – Gŵyl Cynhaeaf oedd hi, yn llawn canu, dawnsio, a chwerthin.
En: It was a special day – it was the Harvest Festival, full of singing, dancing, and laughter.

Cy: Fodd bynnag, nid y gweithgareddau hyn sydd dal y cariad yng nghalon Carwyn.
En: However, it was not these activities that captured the love in Carwyn's heart.

Cy: Roedd Eira, ferch fywiog gydag artist fewnol, yn hedfan rhwng y stondinau, ei llygaid yn chwilio am lliw a golau i ysbrydoli ei chelf.
En: Eira, a lively girl with an inner artist, flitted between the stalls, her eyes searching for color and light to inspire her art.

Cy: Wrth iddi weld Carwyn yn sefyll ar wahân, teimlai casáu eu bod yn gweld pobl yn unig mewn lle cymaint â hyn.
En: When she saw Carwyn standing apart, she loathed seeing people alone in such a large place.

Cy: Felly, fe benderfynodd iddo fynd at Carwyn.
En: So, she decided to go over to Carwyn.

Cy: “Eira ydw i,” meddai, gan gyflwyno ei hun gyda gwên eang.
En: “Eira I am,” she said, introducing herself with a wide smile.

Cy: Roedd Carwyn yn golchi â swildod, ond gwelodd yn Eira rywbeth fel darganfyddiad.
En: Carwyn flushed with shyness, but he saw something of discovery in Eira.

Cy: Roedd ei hyder yn llawn cyferbyniad â’i hunan swil.
En: Her confidence was in sharp contrast to his shy self.

Cy: “Helo, Carwyn ydw i,” atebodd.
En: “Hello, Carwyn I am,” he replied.

Cy: Fel y nos yn raddol godi, rhannodd Carwyn stori o’r gorffennol am Lyn Tegid.
En: As the night slowly rose, Carwyn shared a story from the past about Llyn Tegid.

Cy: Soniodd am y hen chwedl sy'n dweud bod pleseryddion dŵr dirgel yn gwarchod y llyn.
En: He mentioned the old legend that mysterious water sprites protect the lake.

Cy: Wrth ei ddiweddu, roedd llygad Eira yn pefrio gyda syniad newydd.
En: By the end, Eira's eyes sparkled with a new idea.

Cy: A'i lygaid yn disgleirio, Eira dywedodd, “Mae angen i mi dynnu llun hyn.
En: With her eyes shining, Eira said, “I need to draw this.

Cy: Rhaid dal yr ysblander a’r hud a dywedodd di’m stori, Carwyn.”
En: I must capture the splendor and magic of your story, Carwyn.”

Cy: Wedi hynny, dechreuodd hau i lawr y llwybr, ond nid heb adael Carwyn gydag undon a gorau gwên.
En: After that, she started to sprint down the path, but not without leaving Carwyn with a constant and best smile.

Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw ymuno yn y defod goleuo lampau, roedd cyfle i Carwyn siarad, a'i fomio gyda’i holl nerfusrwydd.
En: As they joined in the ritual of lighting the lamps, there was an opportunity for Carwyn to speak, and he bombed with all his nervousness.

Cy: “Eira,” dechreuodd, “Dw i ddim ond eisiau dweud... diolch i ti am fynd y cam cyntaf.
En: “Eira,” he began, “I just want to say... thank you for taking the first step.

Cy: Dw i'n falch o'r cyfle i fod yn ffrindiau ac efallai mwy…”
En: I'm glad for the chance to be friends and maybe more…”

Cy: Cafodd ei gondro a’i siom.
En: He was both surprised and disappointed.

Cy: Ond yn hytrach na siarad, roedd Eira’n codi ei chynfas, ei phensil yn symud yn gyflym ar draws papur.
En: But rather than speaking, Eira raised her canvas, her pencil moving quickly across paper.

Cy: Roedd hi’n dal y foment: hwyl angenfilod lampau, tôn aur yr hydref, a Carwyn yn ei ymddiriedaeth a’i onestrwydd.
En: She captured the moment: the joy of the lamp sprites, the golden tone of autumn, and Carwyn in his trust and honesty.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded i lawr y lôn nos, roedd Carwyn mwy gwydn nag erioed dotio sut y gallai fynd y cam cyntaf.
En: As they walked down the night lane, Carwyn, more resilient than ever, pondered how he could take the first step.

Cy: Roedd yn gwybod y byddai’r cyfeillgarwch newydd hwn wedi cael ei ysmsod eisoes, ac y byddai mwy i ddod drwyddo.
En: He knew that this new friendship had already been established, and that more would come through it.

Cy: Fel diwedd y noson, roedd Llyn Tegid, gyda’i ddail melyn, fel pe bai’n adlewyrchu, nid yn unig digwyddiadau’r dydd, ond y newid ynddo Carwyn ei hun: o swildod i gryfder.
En: At the end of the night, Llyn Tegid, with its yellow leaves, seemed to reflect not only the events of the day but the change within Carwyn himself: from shyness to strength.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar fore llwyd o hydref, roedd y gwynt yn chwythu drwy goedwig Snowdonia.
En: On a gray autumn morning, the wind was blowing through the forests of Snowdonia.

Cy: Roedd Ioan, Carys, a Gwen yn paratoi i gychwyn ar daith maes i safle hanesyddol.
En: Ioan, Carys, and Gwen were preparing to set off on a field trip to a historical site.

Cy: Roedd Ioan yn edrychog, ond yn cadw ei ofnau am y mynyddoedd yn gyfrinach.
En: Ioan appeared calm, but kept his fears about the mountains a secret.

Cy: Roedd ei atgofion o ddamwain yn y gorffennol yn dal ar ei meddwl.
En: His memories of a past accident were still on his mind.

Cy: “Ti’n barod?” holodd Carys, ei wyneb yn llawn cyffro.
En: "Are you ready?" asked Carys, her face full of excitement.

Cy: Gwenu roedd hi bob amser wrth feddwl am ddiwrnodau fel hyn.
En: She always smiled when thinking of days like this.

Cy: “Ydw, wrth gwrs,” atebodd Ioan, gan guddio ei bryder tu mewn ei lais.
En: "Yes, of course," replied Ioan, hiding his anxiety behind his voice.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn ei gefnogi heb sylwi ar ei ofn.
En: Carys supported him without noticing his fear.

Cy: Gwen, eu hathrawes hanes, oedd yn arwain y grŵp.
En: Gwen, their history teacher, was leading the group.

Cy: "Byddwn ni’n dysgu am y bryniau uchel lle’r oedd y rhufeiniad yn edrych dros Gymru," eglurodd Gwen wrth iddynt ddechrau cerdded.
En: "We’ll be learning about the high hills where the Romans looked over Wales," explained Gwen as they began walking.

Cy: Roedd hi’n ddynes garedig ac addysgiadol, bob amser yn gwneud yn siŵr bod ei myfyrwyr yn dysgu rhywbeth newydd.
En: She was a kind and educational woman, always making sure her students learned something new.

Cy: Wrth i'r llwybr fynd yn fwy serth, dechreuodd Ioan deimlo ei galon yn curo'n gyflymach.
En: As the path grew steeper, Ioan began to feel his heart beat faster.

Cy: Roedd y bryniau hyn yn paratoi her iddo.
En: These hills posed a challenge for him.

Cy: Credai ei fod yn hoffi hanes, ond roedd y ffordd i'r safle yn adgofio'r ddamwain tal dirgel o’i orffennol.
En: He believed he liked history, but the path to the site reminded him of the mysterious accident from his past.

Cy: Cyrraedd y dewis— dyma’r tro lle roedd yn gorfod wynebu ei ofn.
En: Arriving at a decision—this was the point where he had to face his fears.

Cy: Arosai Ieir fel arfer mewn man diogel, ond roedd y cyfle i archwilio safle cyfoethog mewn hanes yn ei demtio.
En: He usually stayed in a safe place, but the opportunity to explore a site rich in history tempted him.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn gwylio Ioan gydag awydd i’w helpu.
En: Carys watched Ioan with a desire to help.

Cy: "Ti’n iawn, Ioan?" gofynnodd hi'n bwyllog.
En: "Are you okay, Ioan?" she asked calmly.

Cy: “Ydw,” meddai Ioan o’r diwedd, “Dw i am roi cynnig ar hwn.”
En: “Yes,” said Ioan finally, “I want to give this a try.”

Cy: Gyda hynny, dechreuodd ddilyn Gwen a'r grŵp i fyny’r llethrau serth.
En: With that, he began to follow Gwen and the group up the steep slopes.

Cy: Gwen yn arwain, a stori Ion yn dechre meddwl, roedd Ioan yn cofio ei barch tuag at hanes Cymru.
En: With Gwen leading, and the story beginning to unfold in his mind, Ioan recalled his respect for the history of Wales.

Cy: Roedd pob cam yn uchel a phob ongl yn her, ond roedd ei benderfyniad yn parhau.
En: Each step was high and each angle a challenge, but his determination remained.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gyrraedd copa'r bryn, roedd y golygfeydd yn wefreiddiol.
En: As they reached the top of the hill, the views were breathtaking.

Cy: Roedd y cymylau'n symud yn gloi wrth eu traed a’r bryniau’n llawn hanes o’u blaen.
En: The clouds moved swiftly at their feet and the hills full of history lay before them.

Cy: Roedd pwynt hanesyddol Gwen yn dweud stori.
En: The historical point that Gwen explained told a story.

Cy: “Gallwch chi weld lle roedd yr hen wersylloedd?” sialensiodd Gwen.
En: “Can you see where the old camps were?” challenged Gwen.

Cy: “Ar y dyddiau glir, gallai y rhufeiniad weld pob ciwbl o ardal yn rhyfeddol.”
En: “On clear days, the Romans could see every inch of the area remarkably.”

Cy: Yn sydyn, teimlai Ioan yn ddiogel ac wedi’i gryfhau.
En: Suddenly, Ioan felt safe and strengthened.

Cy: Roedd wedi wynebu ei ofn ac wedi pasio drwy gystadleuaeth ei feddyliau.
En: He had faced his fears and passed through his mental battles.

Cy: Gan eu profiad, roedd wedi dysgu y gall gwynebu ofnau ddod â theimlad difyr o gyflawniad.
En: Through this experience, he had learned that facing fears can bring a thrilling sense of accomplishment.

Cy: Doedd Carys ddim ond yn edrych gyda balchder, “Dwi wastad yn gwybod y gallet ti wneud e, Ioan,” meddai gyda chariad yn ei llais.
En: Carys just looked on with pride, "I always knew you could do it, Ioan," she said with love in her voice.

Cy: A dyna lle roedd eu taith hanesyddol yn dod i ben, gyda Ioan nawr yn gwybod bod camu allan o’i barth cysur yn gallu arwain at ddarganfyddiadau bendigedig.
En: And so their historical journey came to an end, with Ioan now knowing that stepping out of his comfort zone could lead to wonderful discoveries.

Cy: Roedd ein broydd yn llawn straeon a chyflawniadau newydd i’w cael.
En: Our regions are full of stories and new achievements to uncover.
