Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nghanol haf, roedd Emrys, Delyth, a Gareth ar eu taith trwy'r mynyddoedd yng nghalon Eryri.
En: In the middle of summer, Emrys, Delyth, and Gareth were on their journey through the mountains in the heart of Eryri.

Cy: Roedd yn ddiwrnod clir, ond roedd y teimlad yn drwm wrth iddynt gofio eu tad a gollwyd yn ddiweddar.
En: It was a clear day, but the feeling was heavy as they remembered their recently lost father.

Cy: Roedd eu hanes gyda'u tad yn gorwedd ar y llwybr hwn, yng nghysgod y teml guddiedig.
En: Their history with their father lay on this path, in the shadow of the hidden temple.

Cy: "Byddwn yn cadw at y llwybr hirach," meddai Emrys, yn arwain ymlaen â’i synnwyr arferol o benderfyniad.
En: "We'll stick to the longer path," said Emrys, leading onward with his usual sense of determination.

Cy: Roedd Delyth yn siarad yn dawel, "Ond roedd ein tad wastad yn sôn am harddwch y llwybr byr, llonydd hefyd."
En: Delyth spoke quietly, "But our father always mentioned the beauty of the shorter, peaceful path."

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn edrych rhwng ei ddau frawd a chwaer, teimlad o anobaith yn llenwi ei galon.
En: Gareth looked between his brother and sister, a feeling of despair filling his heart.

Cy: Roedd eisiau cysylltu â'u tad am y tro olaf, ac felly roedd y llwybr byr yn medru rhoi’r math ysbrydoldeb hwnnw iddynt.
En: He wanted to connect with their father one last time, and so the shorter path might offer them that spirituality.

Cy: "Rydych chi'n gwybod beth, gadewch inni fynd â llwybr ein tad," meddai Gareth o'r diwedd, gan ymuno â dymuniad Delyth.
En: "You know what, let's take our father's path," Gareth finally said, joining in Delyth's wish.

Cy: Roedd Emrys yn edrych arno fe am eiliad, yna chwarddodd yn feddal, "Iawn, rhaid inni fynd â golau ar ein traed."
En: Emrys looked at him for a moment, then laughed softly, "Alright, we must tread lightly."

Cy: Gyda llawenydd cymysgedig â gwg fach, roedd y tri yn cychwyn ar eu llwybr, bac ardderchog y bryniau yn cilio i'w holiodd graddol.
En: With joy mixed with a small scowl, the three set off on their path, the magnificent backdrop of the hills gradually receding behind them.

Cy: Daethant at y teml guddiedig erbyn hwyr, pan oedd yr haul yn dechrau suddo, ei belydrau olaf yn dawnsio ar y cerrig hanner canrif oed.
En: They arrived at the hidden temple by evening, as the sun began to set, its last rays dancing on the fifty-year-old stones.

Cy: Roedd y lle'n dawel, bron yn ysbrydol, â golygfa hollol anhygoel dros y dyffrynnoedd islaw.
En: The place was quiet, almost spiritual, with a completely incredible view over the valleys below.

Cy: Ac yna, roedd anadl oer y tymestl yn dechrau dod i'r awyr, ond mynodd Delyth, "Rhaid inni gyflawni hyn nawr, ni allwn ddychwelyd yma eto."
En: And then, a cold breath of the storm began to come into the air, but Delyth insisted, "We must complete this now; we can't return here again."

Cy: Gyda pharch a dwyster, taflwyd lludw eu tad gan ddechreuwyr y gwynt.
En: With respect and intensity, their father’s ashes were cast to the beginner's wind.

Cy: Roedd y glaw yn dechrau syrthio fel pe theimladau'r haul, gan droi'r eiliad yn un o gau; gyda gwerthfawrogiad dweud "anffodus ond perffaith."
En: The rain began to fall as if it shared the sun's emotions, turning the moment into one of closure; with an appreciative remark, "unfortunate but perfect."

Cy: Pan gawsant loches mewn cysgod dan y briddellwch y teml, roedd y glaw yn fud a chlywed storïau am eu tad yn rhodd.
En: When they took shelter in the canopy under the temple, the rain was silent and the shared stories about their father were a gift.

Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i mi ddysgu bod yn fwy damweiniol, fel yntau," mynegodd Emrys, gyda gwen ddwfn ar ei wyneb.
En: "I must learn to be more spontaneous, like him," expressed Emrys, with a deep grin on his face.

Cy: Delyth yn sgipio am heddwch, gan fod y dyletswydd wedi'i wneud.
En: Delyth skipped for peace, knowing the duty was done.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn teimlo bod ei gysylltiad â'i dad wedi ei adnewyddu, oherwydd cerdded y llwybr hwn gyda'i frawd a chwaer.
En: Gareth felt his connection with his dad had been renewed by walking this path with his siblings.

Cy: Roedd y teml, sefyll yn ddigysgod, yn dyst tawel i'r aduniad hwn, rhy fatha cerrig ei thyrrau, yn brawychol ac yn hardd yn yr un pryd.
En: The temple, standing shadowless, was a silent witness to this reunion, much like its tower stones, both breathtaking and beautiful at the same time.

Cy: Roedd y môr o dosturi a chariad yn rhannu'r tri, yr awel yn gwaeddi o amgylchyn ac oddi wrth yr eu hysgolion.
En: The sea of compassion and love shared among the three, the wind crying around and from their footsteps.

Cy: Teyrngarwch gan y teulu, ac roedd eu tad, yn rhywle yn syllu i lawr, yn teimlo'n cyfan.
En: Loyalty from the family, and their father, somewhere looking down, felt whole.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd Emrys a Carys yn cerdded i mewn i'r siop offer dringo hirddisgwyliedig.
En: Emrys and Carys walked into the long-awaited climbing gear shop.

En: Emrys was looking forward to mapping out new routes with passion and endless eagerness.

Cy: "Mae angen y gêr gorau arnaf," meddai Emrys, yn llygaid sgleiniog.
En: "I need the best gear," said Emrys, with shining eyes.

Cy: "Drwy hyfforddiad priodol, nid oes unrhyw lwybr y gellir ei orchfygu."
En: "With proper training, there's no path that can't be conquered."

Cy: Ond roedd Carys, ei ffrind gofalgar a doeth, yn edrych ar bethau yn ofalus.
En: But Carys, his caring and wise friend, was approaching things cautiously.

Cy: "Mae gennym gyllideb, Emrys. Gadewch i ni fod yn ymarferol."
En: "We have a budget, Emrys. Let's be practical."

Cy: Dyma nhw'n cymryd eu tro yn gwylio'r silffoedd llawn o gôtiau a esgidiau wrth gerdded lawr y grisiau pren.
En: They took their time watching the shelves full of coats and shoes as they walked down the wooden stairs.

En: Emrys cast his eyes over a feature-rich, radically tagged high-end coat.

Cy: "Mae'r gôt hwn yn anhygoel!" meddai, bron â'i feddwl ei fod eisoes wedi prynu.
En: "This coat is amazing!" he exclaimed, almost as if he had already bought it.

Cy: "Bydd yn fy nghadw'n sych beth bynnag y tywydd."
En: "It will keep me dry no matter the weather."

Cy: Ond roedd Carys wedi darganfod côt tebyg, llai drud a chyda nodweddion ymarferol tebyg.
En: But Carys had found a similar coat, less expensive and with similar practical features.

Cy: "Emrys, edrychwch ar hwn. Mae'n hanner y pris," gwthiodd Carys, gyda sicrwydd doeth.
En: "Emrys, look at this one. It's half the price," nudged Carys, with wise assurance.

Cy: "A dyna fydd yn helpu ni gyda'n stoc o fwyd a pharo."
En: "And that will help us with stocking food and supplies."

Cy: Rhoddodd Emrys amrantiad hir ar y gôt ffansi, wedyn at y llonydd a di-sylw Carys.
En: Emrys gave a long glance at the fancy coat, then to the calm and unassuming Carys.

Cy: Roedd ei ffrind yn iawn; roedd y llwybrau yn her eu hunain.
En: His friend was right; the paths were a challenge on their own.

Cy: Nid oedd yn ymwneud â chael yr offer gorau posib, ond yr offer iawn, a bod yn ddiogel a pharod.
En: It wasn't about having the best possible equipment, but the right equipment, and being safe and prepared.

Cy: Roedd yn disgleirio mewn poeni llenllawn, arfwisgo'i frwdfrydedd gyda doethineb yn ei le.
En: He glowed in thoughtful concern, cloaking his enthusiasm with wisdom in its place.

Cy: Yn y diwedd, gwnaethant benderfynu ar gôt a dewis offer a fyddai'n arferol ond yn ddigonol i'w hangorfyn.
En: In the end, they decided on a coat and chose equipment that would be practical yet adequate for their needs.

Cy: Roeddent hefyd yn llwyddo i gadw o fewn eu cyllideb.
En: They also managed to stay within their budget.

Cy: Ar ôl gadael y siop, teimlodd Emrys ddiolchgarwch tuag at Carys.
En: After leaving the shop, Emrys felt grateful towards Carys.

Cy: "Rydych chi wedi fy nysgu gwers bwysig heddiw," cyfaddefodd Emrys, gwên ar ei wyneb.
En: "You've taught me an important lesson today," admitted Emrys, with a smile on his face.

Cy: "Mae'n bwysig gwrando ar gyngor da."
En: "Listening to good advice is important."

Cy: "Mae tîm yn fwy na'i rhannau," ehangodd Carys.
En: "A team is more than the sum of its parts," Carys expanded.

Cy: Roeddent ystyriol, ymdrechion wedi'u cyfuno, yn bwrw lan i'r awyr o flaen eu taith i ganol y Bannau.
En: They were thoughtful, with combined efforts, rising up to meet the journey ahead in the heart of the Bannau.

Cy: Roedd y diwrnod yn llachar ac addawol, addawyd llawer o gamau newydd a chymraphau hardd wrth iddo fynd i mewn i lyfrgell ffrwythau natur yr haf.
En: The day was bright and promising, many new steps and beautiful encounters promised as they ventured into the summer's natural library of fruits.

Cy: Roedd antur yn sicr o sicrhau, a'u parotoadau yn arfau gwerthfawr mewn llaw, cario hyder a gwersi dysgedig ymlaen.

Cy: Roedd ei ddealltwriaeth o'r pwysigrwydd o barchu eraill a’r cryfder mewn tîm wedi ennill mwy na dyrchafiad a gynlluniwyd.
En: His understanding of the importance of respecting others and the strength of a team had won more than the planned promotion.

Cy: Roedd yr awyr las yn Beacons Brycheiniog yn canmol y profiad.
En: The blue sky over Beacons Brycheiniog praised the experience.

Cy: Ac wrth i Emrys edrych dros y bryniau, roedd yn gwybod fod y daith i gyflawni yn cychwyn nawr, gyda chalon fwy symudol a phwrpas.
