Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn ystod gwanwyn ym Morlin Amalfi, lle mae'r clogwyni yn codi o'r môr glas, roedd yna ddwfn stori am drysor coll wedi'i guddio rhwng y creigiau.
En: During a spring day in Morlin Amalfi, where the cliffs rise from the blue sea, there was a deep story about a lost treasure hidden among the rocks.

Cy: Yn y fan hyn, roedd Carys, teithwraig anturiaethus, yn cerdded gydag Emrys a Gwyneth.
En: Here, Carys, an adventurous traveler, was walking with Emrys and Gwyneth.

Cy: Roedd hi'n bryderus i ganfod gwirionedd y chwedl leol.
En: She was eager to uncover the truth of the local legend.

Cy: “Mae'n rhaid i ni fynd i'r hen ogof honno,” meddai Carys gyda disgleirdeb yn ei llygaid.
En: “We have to go to that old cave,” said Carys with a gleam in her eye.

Cy: “Efallai bod y trysor yno.”
En: “Maybe the treasure is there.”

Cy: Roedd Emrys, hanesydd mewn chwedlau Ewropeaidd, yn codi ei aeliau.
En: Emrys, a historian of European legends, raised his eyebrows.

Cy: “Mae'n chwedl, Carys,” yr oedd yn dweud yn rhybuddio, “ond… mae'n werth archwilio.”
En: “It’s a legend, Carys,” he said warningly, “but… it’s worth exploring.”

Cy: Roedd Gwyneth, newyddiadurwraig pragmatig, yn cymryd lluniau a nodiadau am y tirwedd godidog.
En: Gwyneth, a pragmatic journalist, was taking pictures and notes about the magnificent landscape.

Cy: “Byddai'n stori dda, serch hynny,” meddai, “os yw'n wir.”
En: “It would be a good story, nonetheless,” she said, “if it’s true.”

Cy: Yn dilyn llwybr cul rhwng coed llysiau gwyrddlas, daeth y tri at ogof rwbel, wedi'i orchuddio gan olygyddion natur.
En: Following a narrow path between lush green trees, the trio arrived at a rocky cave, covered by the hand of nature.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn archwilio, yn dewis ei chamau'n ofalus.
En: Carys was exploring, selecting her steps carefully.

Cy: Yna, gyda'i llygaid disglair, fe wnaeth sylwi ar hen fap o fewn cist bren gwasgaredig.
En: Then, with her bright eyes, she noticed an old map within a scattered wooden chest.

Cy: “Edrychwch!” gwaeddodd hi wrth ddangos y map i'r llall.
En: “Look!” she shouted, showing the map to the others.

Cy: Yr oedd Emrys yn syllu, ei scepticism yn dadfeilio, a'r ddalennau hen papur yn ysgogi ei ddychymyg.
En: Emrys stared, his skepticism fading, as the old paper sheets ignited his imagination.

Cy: Ond cyn iddynt symud ymlaen, dechreuodd cymylau tywyll lenwi'r awyr.
En: But before they could move on, dark clouds began to fill the sky.

Cy: Dechreuodd gwyntoedd cryfion chwythu a storm fwrlwm o waith, roeddyn nhw’n gorfod chwilio am loches mewn tafarn leol ar ben y ffordd.
En: Strong winds started to blow, and a brewing storm forced them to seek shelter in a local tavern down the road.

Cy: Camodd y tri i mewn, yr adeilad hen ddynodol yn eu lapio â phrydferthwch traddodiadol yr ardal.
En: The trio stepped inside, the old building wrapping them in the traditional beauty of the area.

Cy: Roedd y storm yn rhuo y tu allan wrth iddyn nhw rannu barn am eu taflwybr newydd.
En: The storm roared outside as they shared opinions about their newfound path.

Cy: “Mae’n rhaid i ni sicrhau’r map,” meddai Gwyneth, yn tynnu lluniau er cof am y trysor posib.
En: “We must secure the map,” said Gwyneth, taking photos for the memory of the possible treasure.

Cy: Wrth i’r cymylau gliriach ollwng golau haul dros y wlad, aeth Carys yn fwy hyderus yn ei deimladau greddfol.
En: As the clouds cleared, letting rays of sunlight over the land, Carys grew more confident in her instincts.

Cy: Hyd yn oed Emrys, yn hidio gwybodaeth wyddonol meddwl agored am chwedlau, roedd yn barod i arbrofi.
En: Even Emrys, valuing scientific knowledge with an open mind toward legends, was ready to experiment.

Cy: “Rydyn ni ddim ond ar ddechrau ein hantur,” gyda phenasbect. Meddai Carys, gyda gobaith yng ngolau ei llygaid.
En: “We are only at the beginning of our adventure,” said Carys with hope in her eyes.

Cy: Roedd y trip i’r Amalfi yn dod i ben gyda boddhad o'r antur lle cawsant gychwyn ymlaen, croesaniadau rhwng mympwy, gwybodaeth a chwedl henferched thecas.
En: The trip to the Amalfi ended with the satisfaction of an adventure where they had set forth, a crossroads between whimsy, knowledge, and captivating old legends.

Cy: Ac felly wnaeth y triawd sicrhau bod eu siwrnai yn parhau, trwy aberth a chywirdeb, yn barod i herio’r hanes diog rhyfeddol.
En: And so the trio ensured that their journey continued, through sacrifice and precision, ready to challenge the incredible serene history.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar hyd blynyddoedd, roedd coginio yn golau canolog yng nghartref Rhys.
En: Over the years, cooking was a central light in Rhys's home.

Cy: Roedd cofnodion hufenog o'i nain wedi llenwi ei gegin, pob un â phigment y teulu.
En: Creamy records from his grandmother had filled his kitchen, each with the pigment of the family.

Cy: Roedd hynny'n achos arbennig ar Sul y Pasg, pan fyddai'n ail-greu ei rysáit poblogaidd gyda phob cymysgedd herbyn wladaidd a dyfodd ar hil ei nain.
En: That was particularly the case on Easter Sunday, when he would recreate her popular recipe with every rustic herb that had grown on his grandmother's land.

Cy: Ond eleni, roedd y rysáit yn mynd i fod yn her.
En: But this year, the recipe was going to be a challenge.

Cy: Ar draeth yr Amalfi, lle mae'r môr yn cwrdd â'r machlwythau, mae'r farchnad ffermwyr yn ddewisydd o liw a sŵn.
En: On the Amalfi beach, where the sea meets the cliffs, the farmer's market is a chooser of color and noise.

Cy: Roedd y cŵyn gwynt ar ei gerfluniau hir yn clymu'r lleoliad fel cwilt o synau.
En: The wind's cry on its long sculptures tied the location together like a quilt of sounds.

Cy: Ynddo, camin Rhys gyda berfedd rhwyn ar ei wers.
En: In it, Rhys meandered with a basket rope on his arm.

Cy: Edrychodd Rhys trwy'r stondinau, ei lygaid yn chwilio'r hyn oedd 'nôl.
En: Rhys looked through the stalls, his eyes searching for what was 'back.

Cy: Roedd angen yr herb bach, un prin y gwyddai'n syfrdanol iddo ail-greu'r ddysgl, ond nid oedd yn dangos unrhyw arwydd nawr yn gynnar yn y tymor.
En: He needed the small herb, one rare enough that he knew it was vital to recreate the dish, but it was showing no signs now early in the season.

Cy: "Prynhawn da, Rhys," meddai Carys, a oedd yn sefyll y tu ôl i'w stand, yn gwerthu ffrwythau a pherlysiau.
En: "Good afternoon, Rhys," said Carys, who was standing behind her stand, selling fruits and herbs.

Cy: Gwyndodd Rhys a gofynodd am gefnogaeth.
En: Rhys grinned and asked for support.

Cy: "O Carys, a fynnych ti fy helpu?" Meddai Rhys.
En: "O Carys, will you help me?" said Rhys.

Cy: "Dw i angen hufen arbennig iawn, a does gen i ddim amser i'w adael i ffwrdd."
En: "I need a very special cream, and I don't have time to let it slip away."

Cy: "Wel, mae'n bêr i mi adnabod rhywun," atebodd Carys, ei gwen yn berthi cyffro.
En: "Well, I happen to know someone," answered Carys, her smile sparking excitement.

Cy: "Gad i ni chwilio!"
En: "Let's go search!"

Cy: Gyda hynny, aethon nhw i gyd trwy'r strydoedd byrlymus, wedi eu hyrddio gan addewidion Carys.
En: With that, they hurried through the bustling streets, propelled by Carys's promises.

Cy: Yn y diwedd, ar funud o gwestiwn, roeddent yn cael yr ymyl olaf o berlysiau pwys mawr yn y stand olaf ar ei gau.
En: In the end, at the last moment, they found the last edge of the significant herbs at the final stand as it was closing.

Cy: Roedd golwg llygaid barrug Rhys yn stopiodd wrth y pris arwydd; roedd yr herb yn ddrud iawn.
En: Rhys's frost-eyed gaze stopped at the price tag; the herb was very expensive.

Cy: Am foment, daeth Rhys yn ddweud rhwng yr wythnos o addunedau teuluol.
En: For a moment, Rhys was caught between the week of family commitments.

Cy: "Bydd y gost, Carys?" Meddai, yn peryngau tua hylithig penderfynol.
En: "What will the cost be, Carys?" he said, steering towards a determined bargain.

Cy: "Coelia dy galon, Rhys," chwarddodd Carys.
En: "Trust your heart, Rhys," laughed Carys.

Cy: "Mae teulu'n fwy na phrisau."
En: "Family is more than prices."

Cy: Peidiodd Rhys, ei freichiau'n cosi wrth wneud ei benderfyniad.
En: Rhys paused, his arms itching as he made his decision.

Cy: Symudodd ei law at ei boced, talodd, a gynnodd y perlys.
En: He moved his hand to his pocket, paid, and pocketed the herb.

Cy: Wedi hynny, diflannodd y synan ac ymlaciodd.
En: After that, the tension vanished, and he relaxed.

Cy: Nes ymlaen, wrth i'r haul syrthio dros y bryniau a'r gynffonau, roedd Rhys yn gwybod mai nid y rysáit yn unig oedd wedi ei gadw.
En: Later on, as the sun fell over the hills and the tails, Rhys knew that it was not just the recipe that he had preserved.

Cy: Roedd cymuned a chysylltiad yn wir ddechrau traddodiad.
En: It was community and connection that were the true beginning of tradition.

Cy: Yn ôl at ei gartref, roedd y berlys bron yn barod, a chlywodd feddyliau'i nain yn hollol glir trwy blentyn y llais y teulu.
En: Back at his home, the herb was almost ready, and he heard his grandmother's thoughts perfectly clear through the child's voice of the family.

Cy: Ar y diwrnod hwnnw, daeth Rhys i ddeall, bod perthynas a chompromis yn gryfach na thraddodiadau yn unig.
En: On that day, Rhys came to understand that relationships and compromise were stronger than traditions alone.

Cy: Ar ddiwrnod llachar o wanwyn, wrth i niwl cynnar godi dros Barc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog, roedd Gareth, Eira, a Lloyd yn paratoi ar gyfer eu diwrnod hyfforddi.
En: On a bright spring day, as early mist rose over Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog, Gareth, Eira, and Lloyd were preparing for their training day.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn teimlo’r pwysau a'r cyffro wrth iddo sefyll ar ymyl y llwybr cul.
En: Gareth felt the pressure and excitement as he stood on the edge of the narrow trail.

Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd yn wirioneddol ysblennydd, gyda gwellt newydd yn gwthio trwy'r eira oedd ar ôl.
En: The mountains were truly splendid, with new grass pushing through the remaining snow.

Cy: "Oes ti'n barod, Gareth?
En: "Are you ready, Gareth?"

Cy: " gofynnodd Eira, ei llais yn gyfeillgar ond yn benderfynol.
En: asked Eira, her voice friendly yet determined.

Cy: Roedd hi bob amser yn gefn iddo, yn enwedig pan oedd ei frawd hŷn, sy’n athletwr llwyddiannus, yn drech ar ei feddwl.
En: She was always there to support him, especially when his older brother, a successful athlete, weighed on his mind.

Cy: "Ydw, rwy'n barod," atebodd Gareth, yn gafael yn dynn ar stribed ei esgidiau.
En: "Yes, I'm ready," replied Gareth, gripping his shoe laces tightly.

Cy: Roedd y ras gynnwrf dros y mwd a'r creigiau yn mynd i brofi ei dewrder a'i allu.
En: The race over the mud and rocks was going to test his courage and ability.

Cy: Roedd yn gwybod na fyddai'n hawdd, ond roedd yn awyddus i brofi ei allu i'r byd.
En: He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was eager to prove his ability to the world.

Cy: "Dw i am orffen hwn a chyrraedd fy amser gorau personol.
En: "I'm going to finish this and achieve my personal best time."

Cy: "Dechreuodd y tri ddringo'r llwybr serth, gyda'r gwynt o'u cwmpas yn crynu’r coed.
En: The three began to climb the steep path, with the wind around them shaking the trees.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn gwybod bod angen iddo gadw golwg ar y tywydd, a daeth hynny yn fwy amlwg wrth i'r cymylau trwchus ymgynnull uwchben.
En: Gareth knew he needed to keep an eye on the weather, and that became more obvious as thick clouds gathered above.

Cy: Yn sydyn, torrwyd yr awel dyner gan gawod drom.
En: Suddenly, the gentle breeze was broken by a heavy shower.

Cy: Roedd pawb ohonynt wedi'u gwneud yn wlyb iawn, a daeth y llwybrau cul yn lithrig ac anodd.
En: They were all made very wet, and the narrow paths became slippery and challenging.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn teimlo'r blinder yn codi yn ei goesau ac roedd ei bwynt gwyrdd yn bell o gyrraedd o'r hyn a ragwelwyd.
En: Gareth felt the fatigue rising in his legs and his green point was far from reaching what was anticipated.

Cy: Roedd ei feddyliau'n pentyrru.
En: His thoughts piled up.

Cy: "A ddylwn i barhau?
En: "Should I continue?

Cy: Neu a ddylwn i achub fy hun rhag anafiadau?
En: Or should I save myself from injuries?"

Cy: "Ar y foment honno, stopiodd Gareth.
En: At that moment, Gareth stopped.

Cy: Edrychodd ar Lloyd ac Eira, y ddau yn gofidio ond yn barod i ddal ati.
En: He looked at Lloyd and Eira, both worried but ready to carry on.

Cy: Roedd rhaid iddo wneud penderfyniad.
En: He had to make a decision.

Cy: Gydag ymdeimlad newydd o benderfyniad, penderfynodd barhau, ond gyda phwyll a gofal.
En: With a new sense of determination, he decided to continue, but with caution and care.

Cy: Yna, torrodd yr haul trwy'r cymylau, gan greu gwawod o oleuni dros Barc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog.
En: Then, the sun broke through the clouds, casting a shower of light over Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog.

Cy: Er bod Gareth yn gwybod nad oedd yn bosibl cyflawni amser gorau personol heddiw, sylweddolodd ei fod wedi dysgu gwers bwysig.
En: Although Gareth knew it wasn't possible to achieve a personal best time today, he realized he had learned an important lesson.

Cy: Roedd y gallu i addasu a pharhau yn wyneb trafferthion yn fwy gwerth chweil nag unrhyw record amser.
En: The ability to adapt and continue in the face of difficulties was more rewarding than any time record.

Cy: Ar ôl iddynt gyrraedd pen y daith, ymladdodd Gareth trwy’r her o'i flaen gyda phenderfyniad newydd.
En: After they reached the end of the journey, Gareth fought through the challenge ahead with renewed determination.

Cy: Gwên ar ei wyneb fel y trodd i edrych ar Eira a Lloyd.
En: A smile on his face as he turned to look at Eira and Lloyd.

Cy: "Fe wnaethon ni," meddai Gareth, ei lân yn llawn o bleser.
En: "We did it," said Gareth, his face full of pleasure.

Cy: Er nad oedd y bryniau'n llai serth nac y glaw yn llai dŵad, roedd Gareth wedi darganfod yr hyn oedd wir yn bwysig.
En: Although the hills weren't any less steep nor the rain less pouring, Gareth had discovered what was truly important.

Cy: Roedd ei ddewrder a'i allu i oresgyn yn llawer mwy na'r cyfanswm o amseroedd rasys ar bapur.
En: His courage and ability to overcome were much more than the sum of race times on paper.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn ymwybodol nad oedd ei werth yn cael ei bwysoli gan lwyddiant cystadleuol, ond gan gryfder ei benderfyniad a'i allu i addasu.
En: Gareth was aware that his worth was not measured by competitive success, but by the strength of his determination and his ability to adapt.

Cy: Ac wrth i Gareth edmygu tirwedd diwrnod llwyddiannus a heriol, roedd yn barod i wynebu'r ras fawr ei hun, gan wybod na ellid mesur ei gryfder go iawn gan y cloc yn unig.
En: And as Gareth admired the landscape of a successful and challenging day, he was ready to face the big race itself, knowing that his true strength could not be measured by the clock alone.
