    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Mewn parc cenedlaethol Eryri, roedd yr haul yn taro yn ysgafn ar y bryniau gwyrdd.
    En: In Eryri National Park, the sun was gently shining on the green hills.

    Cy: Gareth, yn teimlo pwysau ar ei ysgwyddau, edrychodd ar ei ffrindiau, Eira a Rhiannon.
    En: Gareth, feeling a weight on his shoulders, looked at his friends, Eira and Rhiannon.

    Cy: Roeddent i gyd yn ychwanegol gyffrous heddiw.
    En: They were all extra excited today.

    Cy: Roedd y daith gerdded o’u blaenau yn addo antur a her.
    En: The walk ahead promised adventure and challenge.

    Cy: Ond yng nghalon Gareth, roedd cywilydd o gamgymeriad yn y gorffennol yn ei bigo fel barcud newydd.
    En: But in Gareth's heart, the shame of a past mistake was pricking him like a new kite.

    Cy: Eira, yn meddu ar gamera newydd, arafodd ar hyd y llwybr.
    En: Eira, possessing a new camera, slowed down along the path.

    Cy: "Edrychwch ar y golwg hon!
    En: "Look at this view!"

    Cy: " sibrydodd hi, yn tynnu lluniau o’r mynyddoedd tywysogol o’u cwmpas.
    En: she whispered, taking pictures of the majestic mountains around them.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n awyddus i ddal pob moment.
    En: She was eager to capture every moment.

    Cy: "Bydd hyn yn ddelfrydol i’w gyhoeddi," meddai Eira, yn llawn gobaith y byddai ei luniau newydd yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi gan eraill.
    En: "This will be perfect to publish," said Eira, full of hope that her new photos would be appreciated by others.

    Cy: Yng nghanol tawelwch natur, roedd Rhiannon yn dal i fewn awyr iach y mynyddoedd.
    En: Amid the tranquility of nature, Rhiannon inhaled the fresh mountain air.

    Cy: Iddi hi, roedd y siwrne hon yn cynnig ymlacio a dihangfa o dyndra bywyd bob dydd.
    En: For her, this journey offered relaxation and an escape from the pressures of everyday life.

    Cy: Roedd y llonyddwch yn iachau.
    En: The stillness was healing.

    Cy: Wrth iddynt ddringo’n uwch, sylwodd Gareth ar rywbeth amheus yn y cymylau yn uwch.
    En: As they climbed higher, Gareth noticed something ominous in the clouds above.

    Cy: Cymylau du rhewllyd yn canolbwyntio fel bygythiad.
    En: Black icy clouds gathered like a threat.

    Cy: Pan roedd y gwynt yn dechrau chwythu’n gyd, roedd Gareth yn teimlo’r pryder yn cynyddu.
    En: When the wind began to blow hard, Gareth felt his worry increasing.

    Cy: "Aros am funud," awgrymodd Gareth, yn ceisio gwerthuso’r sefyllfa.
    En: "Wait a minute," suggested Gareth, trying to assess the situation.

    Cy: Gwyddai fod rhaid iddo wneud penderfyniad.
    En: He knew he had to make a decision.

    Cy: Ddylai ai arwain y grŵp ar y llwybr cyfarwydd neu ddewis llwybr anhysbys a chychwyn ar antur newydd?
    En: Should he lead the group on the familiar path or choose an unfamiliar route and embark on a new adventure?

    Cy: Rai eiliadau'n unig oedd ganddo.
    En: He had only a few seconds.

    Cy: "Dewch, mae’n rhaid i ni symud yn gyflym," bloeddiodd Gareth, yn dewis llwybr glas anghyfarwydd ond dychmygol ddychrynllyd.
    En: "Come on, we have to move quickly," shouted Gareth, choosing an unfamiliar yet imaginatively frightening blue path.

    Cy: Gydag Eira a Rhiannon yn ei ddilyn, tynnodd Gareth anadl ddofn wrth iddynt ddringo lawr, eu symudiadau wedi’u cyflymu gan yr ofn.
    En: With Eira and Rhiannon following him, Gareth took a deep breath as they climbed down, their movements sped up by fear.

    Cy: O fewn munudau, dechreuodd y storm bloeddio ar eu heals.
    En: Within minutes, the storm began to howl at their heels.

    Cy: Roedd yn ras â'r tywydd.
    En: It was a race against the weather.

    Cy: Gyda phob cam, roedd Gareth yn gwella ei hyder, yn meddiannu'r teimlad o fod yn dad arweinydd.
    En: With each step, Gareth boosted his confidence, embracing the feeling of being a leader.

    Cy: Roeddent, er gwaethaf ei gychwyn, yn dal at ei gyfarwyddiadau.
    En: Despite the beginning, they adhered to his instructions.

    Cy: Yn flinderig ond yn grwtynlanach, sylweddolodd y tri eu bod wedi cyrraedd lle diogel mewn da bryd.
    En: Tired but triumphant, the three realized they had reached safety in time.

    Cy: Roedd y tywydd yn rhuo dros Eryri, ond roeddent wedi cyrraedd o dan gysgod creigiau.
    En: The weather roared over Eryri, but they had arrived under the shelter of rocks.

    Cy: Roedd gwyntoedd gwyllt yn chwythu uwch eu pennau ond eu taith, roedd wedi’i gyflawni.
    En: Wild winds blew above them but their journey had been accomplished.

    Cy: Dychwelodd Gareth at y dechreuad gyda gwen ar ei wedd.
    En: Gareth returned to the beginning with a smile on his face.

    Cy: Teimlodd y ddrysfa o atgofion yn rhyddhau, yn gwybod bellach bod ymddiried ynddo'i hun a'i allu i arwain y ffordd yn bethau y gallai ddysgu'r gorau i’w gyfuno.
    En: He felt the tangle of memories loosen, now knowing that trusting himself and his ability to lead the way were things he could best learn to combine.

    Cy: "Ddim yn ddrwg, Gareth," cyfrannodd Eira gyda llawenydd.
    En: "Not bad, Gareth," Eira contributed with joy.

    Cy: Roedd Rhiannon yn nodio, mewn dealltwriaeth tawel.
    En: Rhiannon nodded, in silent understanding.

    Cy: Roedd gareth, gyda pharch newydd tuag at ei reddf, wedi troedio rheswm at ei ben.
    En: Gareth, with newfound respect for his instincts, had reasoned his way to the top.

    Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd wedi dysgu gwers iddo, ac ar ddiwrnod disglair yn Eryri, roedd cyfeillgarwch wedi tyfu.
    En: The mountains had taught him a lesson, and on a bright day in Eryri, friendship had grown.

    Cy: Roedd popeth ar ei le nawr.
    En: Everything was in its place now.

    Cy: Roedd Gareth wedi profi ei fod yn gallu aros yn gadarn hyd yn oed wrth wynebu amheuaeth.
    En: Gareth had proven he could remain steadfast even when facing doubt.

    Cy: A gyda hynny, roedd y tri ohonynt yn edrych ymlaen at eu taith nesaf, yn benderfynol ac yn llawn gobaith newydd yn eu calon.
    En: And with that, the three of them looked forward to their next journey, determined and filled with new hope in their hearts.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Yn swyddfa cyngor y pentref, roedd haf wedi hedfan dros y buarthau a chaeau gleision.
    En: In the village council office, summer had flown over the yards and green fields.

    Cy: Roedd yr adeilad o frics cochion yn edrych dros y gorlifdir a'r ffermwyr yn ymgasglu, eu hwynebau yn llawn pryder.
    En: The red brick building looked over the floodplain, and the farmers gathered, their faces filled with concern.

    Cy: Roedd y murmur isel o sgwrs dan ba mor arogli casé.
    En: The low murmur of conversation tinged with a troubled scent.

    Cy: Roedd Eilir, milfeddyg leol, yn sefyll o flaen y lluniau ar y wal, ei gwallt yn rhydd yng ngolau haul.
    En: Eilir, the local veterinarian, stood in front of the pictures on the wall, her hair loose in the sunlight.

    Cy: Roedd yn brysur ar waith, yn meddwl am yr afiechyd yn taro'r da byw, yn gofyn i’w hun ble a sut oedd hi wedi dechrau.
    En: She was busy at work, contemplating the disease striking the livestock, questioning herself on where and how it had started.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n colli cwsg gydag ofn.
    En: She was losing sleep with worry.

    Cy: Helpodd i wneud cofnodion ar gyfer y cyfarfod.
    En: She helped to take notes for the meeting.

    Cy: Roedd Carys, arweinydd y cyngor, yn y mysg, llef arfog o brig.
    En: Carys, the council leader, was among them, a voice armed from the top.

    Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod bod y broblem hon gallu wasgaru’r gymuned.
    En: She knew that this problem could scatter the community.

    Cy: Os na weliff gwirioneddau'r clefyd, byddai effaith economaidd yn ein drysu ni i gyd.
    En: If the truths of the disease were not seen, the economic effect would bewilder us all.

    Cy: Felly, roedd Carys wedi trefnu’r cyfarfod cymunedol hwn.
    En: Therefore, Carys had organized this community meeting.

    Cy: Ac yna roedd Gethin, ffermwr ifanc.
    En: And then there was Gethin, a young farmer.

    Cy: Gydag ofn cudd wedi rhedeg drwy waed ei deulu.
    En: With hidden fear running through his family's blood.

    Cy: Roedd ei geiriau’n brin, ac roedd pawb yn synhwyro iddo guddio rhywbeth.
    En: His words were scarce, and everyone sensed he was hiding something.

    Cy: Roedd y stori'n digwydd mor gyflym, ond roedd amser yn brin.
    En: The story unfolded so quickly, but time was scarce.

    Cy: Pan oedden nhw yn y swyddfa, gwnaeth Eilir gam ymlaen wnaeth cipio sylw a sylweddoli y bydd angen iddo fentro.
    En: When they were in the office, Eilir stepped forward to capture attention, realizing he would need to take a risk.

    Cy: Dywedodd, "Gethin, ydyn ni angen gwybod mwy.
    En: She said, "Gethin, do we need to know more?"

    Cy: " Gweithredodd ei lais yn ysgafn ond yn gadarn.
    En: Her voice acted gently but firmly.

    Cy: Roedd Carys yn sefyll yn gefnogol, ei llygaid yn glir ac yn anog.
    En: Carys stood supportively, her eyes clear and encouraging.

    Cy: Roedd y cyfarfod wedi cyrraedd ei bwynt uchaf.
    En: The meeting had reached its peak.

    Cy: Gydag anadl ddwys gan Gethin, roedd popeth yn newid.
    En: With a deep breath from Gethin, everything changed.

    Cy: Cyfaddefodd yn olaf: "Roedd hen ffrwd yn y cae isaf, aed unrhyw lyf o'r afon yn isel yno.
    En: He finally admitted: "There was an old stream in the lower field, any flow from the river slowed there."

    Cy: " Cafodd y geiriau hyn eu croeso gyda theimlad o ryddhad a chyffro.
    En: These words were greeted with a feeling of relief and excitement.

    Cy: Nid mewn cywilydd, ond nid yn gwybod sut i’w ddweud, roedd wedi cuddio'r gwir.
    En: Not in shame, but not knowing how to say it, he had hidden the truth.

    Cy: Gyda chyffro newydd, gwelodd Eilir y cliw.
    En: With newfound excitement, Eilir saw the clue.

    Cy: Yr afon oedd y broblem.
    En: The river was the problem.

    Cy: Roedd hynny yn golygu'r tarddiad clefyd yn nrych y ffrwd, a gyda thrwsio a chadw'r da byw o'r afon, gallai’r afiechyd stopio.
    En: That meant the disease originated in the stream, and with repairs and keeping the livestock away from the river, the disease could be stopped.

    Cy: Y gymuned, sy'n gyflym i weithredu, dechreuon nhw gydweithio i lanhau.
    En: The community, quick to act, began to work together to clean up.

    Cy: Wrth i'r haul suddo dros y caeau, roedd tafodau wedi troi at sgwrs newydd.
    En: As the sun set over the fields, tongues turned to a new conversation.

    Cy: Daeth gobaith newydd, a thawelodd teimladau'r bobl.
    En: New hope came, and the people's feelings calmed.

    Cy: Gwelodd Eilir cryfder niwchedd a deallusrwydd mewn gweithio gyda'i gilydd, a darganfod bod undod yw gwir gryfder ei thref.
    En: Eilir saw the strength of unity and intelligence in working together and discovered that unity is the true strength of her town.

    Cy: Roedd Gethin yn syllu i'r haul heb y pwysau diweddar, ei galon fwy ysgafn.
    En: Gethin gazed at the sun without the recent burden, his heart lighter.

    Cy: A chodi'n hawdd, mi awgrymodd Carys, "Cofio, mae'r gymuned yn gwneud yn gryf.
    En: And rising easily, Carys suggested, "Remember, the community makes us strong.

    Cy: Mae Eilir a Gethin wedi profi hynny heddiw.
    En: Eilir and Gethin have proven that today."

    Cy: "Roedd y da byw wedi darganfod ei lais.
    En: The livestock had found its voice.

    Cy: Roedd y seibiant wedi cael ei adael, ar gyfer pawb yn y gymuned.
    En: The respite had been left, for everyone in the community.

    Cy: Roedd Eilir nawr gyda llais yn gryfach yn ei rôl, a chyda'r gwybodaeth bod gweithio gyda'i gilydd, roedd pawb yn ennill.
    En: Eilir now had a stronger voice in her role, and with the knowledge that by working together, everyone wins.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Cysgodd haul yr haf ar ddyfroedd Bae Caerdydd, gan lawenhau'r dŵr a'i wneud yn sgleiniog fel aelwyd teuluol ar noswaith Nadolig.
    En: The summer sun slept on the waters of Bae Caerdydd, brightening the water and making it shine like a family hearth on Christmas Eve.

    Cy: Roedd carthffosydd y ddinas yn tawelu wrth wylio'r môr i weld.
    En: The city's sewers calmed as they watched the sea.

    Cy: Ac wrth y lan, cerddodd tri pherson gyda'i gilydd, bron a pheidio â siarad.
    En: And by the shore, three people walked together, almost without speaking.

    Cy: Roedd Iestyn, yn driw a hamddenol fel arfer, wedi trefnu'r cyfarfod hwn, yn dal eog wedi ei ogwyddo'n berffaith.
    En: Iestyn, true and relaxed as usual, had arranged this meeting, holding a perfectly skewered salmon.

    Cy: Roedd ei feddwl wedi bod yn drwm â phwysigrwydd y diwrnod hwn.
    En: His mind had been heavy with the importance of this day.

    Cy: Gafaelodd Rhiannon yn nerthol, ei llygaid yn syllu dros yr hen bontau a'r henebion lle bu eu plantgarwch.
    En: Rhiannon grasped tightly, her eyes gazing over the old bridges and monuments where their fondness had been.

    Cy: "Pam yma?" gofynnodd, yn ei llais pryderus.
    En: "Why here?" she asked, in her anxious voice.

    Cy: Roedd swyn hen bryderon yn tyfu fel gwenyn yng nghregyn bywiog Rhiannon.
    En: The charm of old worries was growing like bees in Rhiannon's lively shells.

    Cy: "Rwy'n meddwl," atebodd Iestyn yn dawel.
    En: "I think," replied Iestyn quietly.

    Cy: "Roedd yn fan hapus i ni i gyd. Gobeithio, Rhiannon. Mae gobaith yn bwysig."
    En: "It was a happy place for all of us. Hope, Rhiannon. Hope is important."

    Cy: Gadawodd Geraint ei fodsig ar ei ôl, yn swil a diolchgar i fod yno.
    En: Geraint left his stick behind, shy and grateful to be there.

    Cy: "Dw i wedi colli'r lle 'ma," meddai'n dawel, swati wrth wrando ar y sŵn tonau'r mor.
    En: "I've missed this place," he said quietly, listening to the sound of the sea waves.

    Story Transcript:

    Cy: Mae'r haul yn tywynnu ar Fas Penfro, lle mae llanw a thrai yn dychmygu ei hun ar gyfer taith bellach.
    En: The sun shines on Mas Penfro, where the tide imagines itself ready for another journey.

    Cy: Ar y lan, mae Gwilym, swyddog llynges nawr yn ffurfiol, yn edrych allan dros y dociau.
    En: On the shore, Gwilym, now formally a naval officer, looks out over the docks.

    Cy: Ei lygad ddeallus yn synhwyro pob symudiad ar y tir.
    En: His keen eye senses every movement on the land.

    Cy: Gwilym yw math o ddyn sy'n caru trefn a phwyll.
    En: Gwilym is the kind of man who loves order and prudence.

    Cy: Ond heddiw, mae'n wynebu her newydd.
    En: But today, he faces a new challenge.

    Cy: Mae Catrin, newyddiadurwraig anturus, yn crwydro o gwmpas gyda'i chofnodion yn ei llaw, yn sychedig am storiau newydd.
    En: Catrin, an adventurous journalist, roams around with her notes in hand, thirsty for new stories.

    Cy: Mae hi'n gweld potensial ledled y lle.
    En: She sees potential everywhere.

    Cy: Mae Emrys, intern ifanc sy'n edrych i brofi ei hun, yn drafflithgar wrth ochr Catrin.
    En: Emrys, a young intern looking to prove himself, is frantic beside Catrin.

    Cy: Ei wyneb wedi'i liwio gyda chymysgedd o drallod a chyffro.
    En: His face is colored with a mix of distress and excitement.

    Cy: "Rhaid i'r fferi adael yn brydlon," meddai Gwilym yn dawel wrth iddo edrych ar ei wats.
    En: "The ferry must leave on time," says Gwilym quietly as he looks at his watch.

    Cy: "Ond mae problem.
    En: "But there's a problem."

    Cy: "Mae'r cyhoeddiad sengl hwnnw, fod y fferi wedi'i gohirio oherwydd pryderon cynnal a chadw, yn achosi siarad ac ansicrwydd yng nghanol y criw.
    En: That single announcement, that the ferry has been delayed due to maintenance concerns, causes talk and uncertainty among the crew.

    Cy: "Beth os na allwn ni fynd ar y daith hon?
    En: "What if we can't go on this journey?"

    Cy: " meddai Emrys yn gymeradwy, gan deimlo ei ddiffyg profiad yn pwyso ar ei ysgwyddau.
    En: says Emrys apprehensively, feeling his lack of experience weighing on his shoulders.

    Cy: "Dyma gyfle.
    En: "This is an opportunity."

    Cy: " Aeth Catrin â'r alwad i archwilio a dysgu beth oedd yn digwydd o amgylch y dociau.
    En: Catrin takes the call to explore and learn what was happening around the docks.

    Cy: Mae hi'n siarad â'r teithwyr, yn cynnal cyfweliad yn sionc gyda unrhyw un sy'n barod i siarad.
    En: She talks to the passengers, conducting brisk interviews with anyone willing to speak.

    Cy: Yn y cyfamser, penderfynodd Gwilym ddefnyddio ei gysylltiadau gyda'r fas penfro i ddarganfod ffordd arall.
    En: Meanwhile, Gwilym decides to use his connections at Mas Penfro to find another way.

    Cy: Mae Emrys yn dilyn Gwilym, yn awyddus i ddysgu.
    En: Emrys follows Gwilym, eager to learn.

    Cy: Mae Gwilym yn defnyddio ei gysylltiadau a'i fag o driciau, a chanfod llong arall sydd ar gael, sef dim ond taith fyr ymaith.
    En: Gwilym uses his contacts and his bag of tricks and finds another boat that's available, just a short trip away.

    Cy: Mae'r risg yma fodd bynnag, angen cytundeb ymysg pob teithiwr.
    En: The risk here, however, requires agreement among all passengers.

    Cy: Ar yr un pryd, mae Catrin yn canfod stori gref sy'n dod â'r teithwyr at ei gilydd.
    En: At the same time, Catrin discovers a powerful story that brings the passengers together.

    Cy: Mae'r straeon yn ysbrydoledig, ac yn awgrymu i bawb y gallant fan hyn gynnwys taith amgen.
    En: The stories are inspiring and suggest to everyone that they can include an alternative journey right here.

    Cy: Mae'r teithwyr, wedi'u hysbrydoli gan ddyfnderoedd y stori a llwybr newydd Gwilym, yn cytuno i gymryd risg a mynd ar y daith hon.
    En: The passengers, inspired by the depths of the story and Gwilym's new path, agree to take the risk and embark on this journey.

    Cy: Yn orffen hefyd, mae Emrys yn teimlo ei fod wedi cyfrannu, ar ôl ychwanegu syniadau a helpu gyda'r ferch newydd.
    En: In the end, Emrys feels he has contributed, after adding ideas and helping with the new opportunity.

    Cy: Pan mae'r llong newydd yn gadael y dociau, teimlodd Gwilym bod cydweithio bob amser yn fwy pwerus na phrotocol arferol.
    En: When the new ship leaves the docks, Gwilym feels that collaboration is always more powerful than the usual protocol.

    Cy: Dysgodd Catrin fod yna storïau gwych yn aros i gael eu darganfod mewn unrhyw sefyllfa.
    En: Catrin learned that there are great stories waiting to be discovered in any situation.

    Cy: Yn cynnwys Emrys, sy'n awr yn fwy hyderus, yn paratoi i ddechrau ei faes newydd gyda brwdfrydedd.
    En: Including Emrys, who is now more confident, ready to start his new field with enthusiasm.

    Cy: Gyda golwg olaf ar Fas Penfro, mae Gwilym, Catrin, a Emrys yn gadael gwyneb y trafferthion heflaen, yn gwybod yn dda eu bod wedi profi profiad sy'n bod oll fwy gwerthfawr na man dianc byr.
    En: With a final look at Mas Penfro, Gwilym, Catrin, and Emrys leave the face of the previous troubles behind, well aware that they have experienced something more valuable than just a brief escape.
