En: The museum of Santorini, known for its ancient treasures, had suffered a great loss.

Cy: Roedd polisi'r ynys yn bryderus, ond doedd dim cliwiau pendant am fudd-daliadau'r arteffact gwerthfawr.
En: The island's authorities were concerned, but there were no definite clues about the benefits of the valuable artifact.

Cy: Yn ei chanol hi, roedd enw Gareth yn cael ei sibrwd yn unig am un peth: y diddordeb hofflyweddol mewn relicau hynafol.
En: In the midst of it all, Gareth's name was whispered for one reason: a curious interest in ancient relics.

Cy: Diwrnod arall, tra’r oedd e'n crwydro'r strydoedd cul, daeth Gareth ar draws Rhiannon.
En: Another day, while he was wandering the narrow streets, Gareth came across Rhiannon.

En: Everyone knew Rhiannon as a knowledgeable local historian.

En: They exchanged glances for a minute, then Gareth said, "We must collaborate," with determination in his voice.

Cy: Rhywbeth o'r fath oedd yr eiliadau hynny - doedd Rhiannon ddim yn ymddiried yn rhwydd.
En: That's how those moments were—Rhiannon didn't trust easily.

Cy: Ond roedd dognau eu profiad gyda’i gilydd yn unan niwliedig.
En: But their shared experience created a foggy unity.

Cy: Felly, dechreuodd y ddau weithio wrth ddyfeisio llygedyn o gyfuniad newydd.
En: So, the two began working on devising a spark of a new combination.

Cy: Roedd eu hymchwiliad yn eu harwain trwy ogofeydd a ffyrdd cyfrinachol, o'r ffordd siopau twristiaid.

En: In a sudden struggle, they reached a hidden chamber under the unconventional workplaces.

Cy: Hedfanuss， roedd yr arteffact ar y bwrdd marbel o'u blaenau.
En: Amazingly, the artifact was on the marble table before them.

Cy: Ond doedd dim amser i lawenhau.
En: But there was no time to rejoice.

Cy: Yma llwyddodd lleidr annisgwyl i’w dal.
En: An unexpected thief managed to catch them.

Cy: Yn erbyn pob tebygolrwydd, fe wnaethant gydweithio eto i ddianc.
En: Against all odds, they cooperated again to escape.

Cy: Aethon nhw ymlaen i bensaer eu cynllun.
En: They proceeded to architect their plan.

Cy: Grwynodd Gareth y bachul o Nadolig annigonol.
En: Gareth sighed at the thought of an incomplete Christmas.

Cy: Teimlai am y tro cyntaf lawer o bethau.
En: For the first time, he felt many things.

Cy: Roedd crookedly yn cyfeirio athew, ond roedd hefyd yn werthfawrogi'n ddiysgog cymaint ydy treftadaeth ddiwylliannol.
En: He was crookedly referencing himself, but he also unwaveringly appreciated how much cultural heritage matters.

Cy: A dychwelodd Rhiannon yn gwybod ei bod hi wedi gweithio gyda rhywun y gallai ymddiried ynddo o'r diwedd, gan sylweddoli hefyd mai gwerth dydi cydweithiad yw achub iaith.
En: And Rhiannon returned knowing she had finally worked with someone she could trust, realizing also that the worth of collaboration is language preservation.

Cy: Roedd y ddau’n cerdded i mewn i'r mwsgfa, gan gwblhau eu gwaith.

Cy: "Na fydd rhaid i chi ddeall," meddai Llewellyn, "fy mod i'n rhedeg o flaen fy mhoen.
En: "You don't have to understand," said Llewellyn, "that I am running from my pain."

Cy: "Trwy gyd-dynnu a siarad, dechreuodd Rhiannon ddeall topograph Llewellyn a'i geisio.
En: Through pulling together and speaking, Rhiannon began to understand Llewellyn's landscape and seek it.

Cy: Roedd yn gyfri o serch a chyfrinachyddol.
En: It was a story of affection and secrecy.

Cy: Eiliad rheini, clywodd yn sydyn Emrys yn ei galw wrth lais uchel y gwynt.
En: In those moments, she suddenly heard Emrys calling her through the loud voice of the wind.

Cy: "Rhiannon!
En: "Rhiannon!

Cy: Rhiannon!
En: Rhiannon!"

Cy: "Pan welodd Emrys hi, roedd ei lygaid yn llo mewn goruchafiaeth, amherffaith i gyd yn sid dydd o loewrhan.
En: When Emrys saw her, his eyes were ablaze with supremacy, imperfect in the glow of daylight.

Cy: Gyda'i gymorth cariadle, daeth hi'n ôl adref, y gwynt y bothelluniad i'w groeso.
En: With his loving help, she came back home, the wind providing a tumultuous welcome.

Cy: Yn ôl yn y caban, eisteddodd Rhiannon a Emrys o flaen y tân.

Cy: Roedd yn chwarel gydag ochr newydd o'r acenion dof iawn i ddirgelwch Llewellyn.
En: It was a quarry with a new side of the tame accents to Llewellyn's mystery.

Cy: "Diolch," meddai Rhiannon, "am ddangos pwysigrwydd amynedd mi.
En: "Thank you," said Rhiannon, "for showing me the importance of patience."

Cy: "Roedd Emrys yntau'n penderfynu bod amser am gyhoeddi ei deimladau ei hun, gan ddod o hyd i'r ddewrder roedd ar goll ers amser hir.
En: Emrys, too, decided it was time to declare his own feelings, finding the courage he had long been missing.

Cy: Byddai'r gaeaf od Nadolig hwn yn cael ei chofio am ysfa'n barod a'r cyfrifoldeb y gwellhadon dwfn, ond cofiwyd hi am y brawf cysyngredig o serch a deddfau trist Twrn.
En: That unusual Christmas winter would be remembered for urgent yearning and the responsibility of deep repairs, but it was remembered for the sacred test of affection and the sad laws of fate.

Cy: "Rhaid i fi ddarganfod rhywbeth arbennig," meddai Gwyneth wrth Eifion gan edrych arno gyda golwg benderfynol yn ei llygaid.
En: "I must discover something special," Gwyneth said to Eifion, looking at him with a determined look in her eyes.

Cy: "Ond, mae'n beryglus," atebodd Eifion, yn siarad yn syniadol ond yn gwybod na allai stopio Gwyneth.
En: "But it's dangerous," Eifion replied, speaking thoughtfully but knowing he couldn't stop Gwyneth.

Cy: Pan ddaeth y plant i gael eu tywys trwy'r adfeilion gan eu hathro, taflwyd cysgod o amheuaeth ar Gwyneth.
En: When the children were guided through the ruins by their teacher, a shadow of doubt was cast on Gwyneth.

Cy: Nid oedd y gwaith ymchwilio yn ddigon heriol iddi.
En: The investigating wasn’t challenging enough for her.

En: Images of old gods and an evangelical torchbearer.

Cy: Wrth iddynt archwilio, dechreuodd hi wlawio, a'r cynhesrwydd yn cilio.
En: As they explored, it began to rain, and the warmth faded.

Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i ni fynd yn ôl," galwodd Eifion, ei law yn dyn am draed Gwyneth ac yna'r gwynt yn troi yn felltith.
En: "We have to go back," called Eifion, his hand firmly on Gwyneth's foot, and then the wind turned into a curse.

Cy: Yn eu brys, ffeindiwyd eu hunain yn ddal o fewn wal serenog.
En: In their haste, they found themselves trapped within a starry wall.

Cy: Ond roedd Gwyneth yn ymateb yn gyflym.

En: When the supervising teacher caught sight of them through the dramatic gaze of several students, Gwyneth's daring had made a strong impression.

Cy: Ar ôl iddynt gael eu hachub, roedd y dosbarth yn coleddu croeso ei gwneud hi’n derbyn iawn.
En: After they were rescued, the class embraced her heroic act, making her feel truly accepted.

Cy: Ymae Gwyneth, unwaith yn teimlo'n lai, yn teimlo fel rhan o gyfrinachau'r hen goed a'r creds.
En: Here Gwyneth, once feeling lesser, felt a part of the secrets of the ancient trees and beliefs.

Cy: Yn ddyfnach, ar y ffordd adref, roedd Eifion wedi cael edrych newydd ar Gwyneth.
En: Deeper, on the way home, Eifion had a new perspective on Gwyneth.

Cy: "Ti'n unigryw," meddai e'n synhwyrol.
En: "You're unique," he said knowingly.

Cy: Ac roedd Gwyneth yn gwybod y byddai hi'n ddigon clyfar i ddilyn ei rhagolygiaeth yn y dyfodol.
En: And Gwyneth knew she would be clever enough to follow her foresight in the future.

Cy: Roedd Gwyneth wedi addo anrhegion i'w ffrindiau Dafydd a Llewellyn.
En: Gwyneth had promised gifts to her friends Dafydd and Llewellyn.

Cy: " meddai Gwyneth wrth ei hun.
En: Gwyneth said to herself.

Cy: Edrychodd o gwmpas, gyda'r môr yn tisian yn dawel.
En: She looked around, with the sea quietly lapping.

Cy: Roedd dau beth gyda hi: ei dychymyg a'r traeth hwn.
En: She had two things with her: her imagination and this beach.

Cy: Gyda phenderfyniad, dechreuodd gronni tywod i greu dyn eira.
En: With determination, she began gathering sand to create a sandman.

Cy: Ehangu'r braich i gyfarch dafliad haul nawr, tywod nerthol mewn capel glan.

Cy: Defnyddiodd Gwyneth greaduriaid y môr a ddaeth i'r lan gyda'r tonnau.
En: Gwyneth used sea creatures that had washed up with the tides.

Cy: Grochenwaith glas fel llygaid, golchfaen yn synhwyrol ac igam-ogam, a ffenig o grin i'w ddawniaeth.
En: Blue pottery for eyes, sensibly jagged limestone, and a pinch of grin for flair.

Cy: Yn y canol, roedd hi'n cuddio darnau o fwynau a gafodd ei gasglu yn hir.
En: In the center, she hid pieces of minerals she had collected over time.

Cy: Roedd i bob yn ail silwr gyda sleisen o lemon morol a chregyn sgleiniog.
En: Each was alternated with a slice of sea lemon and shiny shells.

Cy: "Daw urddas," meddai wrth iddi weithio.
En: "Dignity will come," she said as she worked.

Cy: Roedd Grasluniad y Dyn Eira yn mynd yn fyw dan cyffyrddiadau cain ei dwylo.
En: The Graceful Snowman came to life under the delicate touches of her hands.

Cy: Pan alwodd ar Dafydd a Llewellyn i weld eu syndod, dywedon nhw, "Beth yw hyn y tu allan i'n dychymyg?
En: When she called Dafydd and Llewellyn to see their surprise, they said, "What is this beyond our imagination?"

Cy: ""Mae'n rhodd arbennig," atebodd Gwyneth.
En: "It's a special gift," replied Gwyneth.

Cy: Gwrthrych o syfrdaniaeth a chwilfrydedd gyda synau'r môr yn sibrwd yn eu clustiau.
En: An object of amazement and curiosity with the sounds of the sea whispering in their ears.

Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw syllu ar y dyn eira o dywod, roedd Gwyneth yn datblygu anrhegion o'r tywod.
En: As they gazed at the sandman, Gwyneth revealed gifts from the sand.

Cy: Yn llawn llawenydd, roedd llu o ddanteithion Nadolig wedi'u cuddio.

Cy: Roedd tristwch eu colled wedi cychod i ffwrdd gyda'r afon tonnau.
En: The sorrow of their loss had sailed away with the river of waves.

Cy: "Mae'r syniad yn golygu mwy na'r rhoddion," dywedodd Gwyneth, gyda gwybodaeth yng ngwên ei hwyneb.
En: "The thought means more than the gifts," said Gwyneth, with knowledge in the smile on her face.

Cy: Roedd eu noson ar y traeth yn dangos bod y gwyrthiau gorau yn dod o'r galon, nid y bocsys.
En: Their night on the beach showed that the best miracles come from the heart, not the boxes.

Cy: Tiriondeb a dychymyg Gwyneth oedd yr anrheg go iawn, gan adael bregus ond parhaus ar eu Nadolig ar Traeth Lloergan.
En: The tenderness and imagination of Gwyneth were the true gifts, leaving a fragile yet lasting mark on their Christmas at Traeth Lloergan.

Cy: Roedd pob gwaith llaw mor llawer o siwgr ar y môr teimladau, fel papur lliwgar o fewn llygaid y lleuad.
En: Each handcrafted piece was like so much sugar on the sea of emotions, like colorful paper within the eyes of the moon.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yng nghanol amrantiadau'r goleuadau Nadolig, roedd Marchnad Nadolig Caerdydd yn fwrlwm o fywyd.
En: In the midst of the flickering Christmas lights, Marchnad Nadolig Caerdydd was bustling with life.

Cy: Roedd pobl yn prysur chwilio am anrhegion perffaith, a daeth arogli melys gwin poeth a chnau castan rhost i lenwi’r awyr oer.
En: People were busily searching for perfect gifts, and the sweet aroma of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts filled the cold air.

Cy: Roedd clychau carolwyr yn canu'n fwyn wrth gyd-chwarae â’r eira’n disgyn fel confetti.
En: The carolers' bells rang gently, harmonizing with the snow falling like confetti.

Cy: Wrth un o'r stondinau tawelach, sefyll Emrys, crefftwr sy'n diolchgar am fynnu.
En: By one of the quieter stalls stood Emrys, a craftsman grateful for persistence.

Cy: Er roedd ei stondin yn llai na’r lleill, roedd pob eitem a greodd yn unigryw.
En: Although his stall was smaller than the others, every item he crafted was unique.

Cy: Roedd yn ceisio gwerthu ei nwyddau llaw a chreu argraff ar y rhai oedd yn cerdded heibio.
En: He was trying to sell his handmade goods and make an impression on those passing by.

Cy: “Byddai un pryniant, dim ond un,” meddai Emrys iddo'i hun, gan stwffio dwylo yn dynn yn ei bocedi i gadw'n gynnes.
En: "Just one purchase, just one," Emrys said to himself, stuffing his hands tightly in his pockets to keep warm.

Cy: Yn barod i roi'r gorau iddi, cydiodd yn ei stôl i'w phacio, ond rhywbeth wnaeth iddo oedi.
En: Ready to give up, he grabbed his stool to pack up, but something made him pause.

Cy: Yn yr un man, cerddai Gwyneth, merch ifanc yn llawn ysbryd Nadolig.
En: At the same spot, walked Gwyneth, a young girl full of the Christmas spirit.

Cy: Roedd ei dagrau'n ddisglair gyda brwdfrydedd tra'n archwilio'r farchnad, yn chwilio am anrheg arbennig ar gyfer ei nain.
En: Her eyes were bright with enthusiasm as she explored the market, searching for a special gift for her grandmother.

Cy: Nid am werthu braster roedd hi, ond am anrheg a ddaw ag ystyr.
En: She was not looking for something extravagant, but for a gift with meaning.

Cy: Wrth fynd heibio i stondin Emrys, daliwyd ei llygad gan gloc blwch cerfiedig gyda manylder oedd yn codi ei chwilfrydedd.
En: As she passed Emrys's stall, her eye was caught by a carved box clock with intricate details that piqued her curiosity.

Cy: Hi a emynodd i Emrys, “Mae’r gwaith yma mor brydferth.
En: She exclaimed to Emrys, "This work is so beautiful.

Cy: Beth yw ei stori?
En: What's its story?"

Cy: ”Gwenu wnaeth Emrys am y tro cyntaf trwy'r dydd.
En: Emrys smiled for the first time that day.

Cy: “Mae hon wedi’i chreu o bren derw, ac mae’r dyluniad yn cynrychioli cydlyniad teuluol cafodd fy nhaid ei ddysgu i mi.
En: "This is made from oak wood, and the design represents the family unity my grandfather taught me."

Cy: ”Roedd Gwyneth wrth ei bodd gan y drychiolaeth dyner hon.
En: Gwyneth was delighted by this gentle symbolism.

Cy: “Mae’n berffaith i fy nain.
En: "It's perfect for my grandmother.

Cy: Byddai hi'n ei charu.
En: She would love it."

Cy: ” Prynodd y blwch cerfiedig, gan adael y stondin gyda gwen.
En: She purchased the carved box, leaving the stall with a smile.

Cy: Wrth wylio Gwyneth yn cerdded i ffwrdd, teimlai Emrys lawen polis gwresog yn codi arno.
En: Watching Gwyneth walk away, Emrys felt a warm wave of happiness rise within him.

Cy: Roedd yn gwerthfawrogi ei grefft am rywbeth uwch, rhywbeth oedd yn cyffwrdd calonnau pobl.
En: He appreciated his craft for something greater, something that touched people's hearts.

Cy: Er yn wynebu marchnad prysur, llwyddodd i ddarganfod bod ei gwaith yn fwy na dim ond bethau i'w werthu.
En: Even in the face of a busy market, he managed to discover that his work was more than just items to sell.

Cy: Wrth gerdded i ffwrdd i’r fyrdd o eglurder a sŵn y marchnad, roedd Gwyneth yn gwenu dan ei hat.
En: As she walked away into the clarity and noise of the market, Gwyneth smiled under her hat.

Cy: Roedd yn hapus bod hi wedi canolbwyntio ar ei chalon i ddod o hyd i’r anrheg oedd wirioneddol arbennig.
En: She was happy she had focused on her heart to find a truly special gift.

Cy: Roedd yr œans tra roedd Emrys yn y farchnad wedi dysgu bod lle i grefft, hyd yn oed mewn byd cynnwrf masnachol.
En: The chance encounter while Emrys was at the market had taught him that there is room for craft, even in a chaotic commercial world.

Cy: Nid yn unig roedd Nadolig wedi dod â'r anrhegion, ond hefyd y gwerth-sicrwydd bod cyffyrddiad dynol, yn fwy gallus nag unrhyw werthiant ar frys.
En: Not only had Christmas brought gifts, but also the assurance that human touch is more powerful than any hurried sale.

Cy: Ac roedd hynny’n wir wyrth y tymor.
En: And that was the true miracle of the season.
