Story Transcript:

Cy: Mewn lle arbennig o'r enw Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, roedd tri ffrind ar antur.
En: In a special place called Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, there were three friends on an adventure.

Cy: Rhys, Eira, a Gethin oedd eu henwau.
En: Their names were Rhys, Eira, and Gethin.

Cy: Roedd yr haf wedi cyrraedd, gyda'i haul cynnes yn goleuo'r dyffrynnoedd gwyrddlas a phigau mynyddoedd garw yn Eryri.
En: Summer had arrived, with its warm sun illuminating the verdant valleys and rugged mountain peaks in Eryri.

Cy: Rhys, yn llawn cyffro a'r dymuniad i gyrraedd copa'r Wyddfa, dechreuodd y daith gyda phenderfyniad.
En: Rhys, full of excitement and the desire to reach the summit of Yr Wyddfa, began the journey with determination.

Cy: Roedd am brofi i'w hun ei fod yn gallu cyrraedd y copa.
En: He wanted to prove to himself that he could reach the summit.

Cy: Eira, sy’n arbenigwr ar yr ardal a gwybodus am y llwybrau, oedd yn arwain.
En: Eira, an expert on the area and knowledgeable about the trails, was leading the way.

Cy: Ochr yn ochr â hwy roedd Gethin; er ei fod yn ofalus ac wrth ei fodd â diogelwch, roedd yn hapus i fod gyda'i ffrindiau.
En: Alongside them was Gethin; although he was cautious and loved safety, he was happy to be with his friends.

Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw ddechrau dringo, roedd y llwybrau'n wibio tuag i'r awyr.
En: As they began their climb, the paths twisted toward the sky.

Cy: Roedd eu traed yn llithro ar y cerrig mân, ond roedd nhw'n parhau i gerdded.
En: Their feet slipped on the loose stones, but they continued to walk.

Cy: Ond nid oedd popeth yn berl.
En: But not everything was perfect.

Cy: Wrth i'r tri ffrind wella i'r uchder, dechreuodd Rhys deimlo'n isel.
En: As the three friends got higher, Rhys started to feel low.

Cy: Roedd ei ben yn troi a'i synhwyrau'n troi'n llonydd.
En: His head was spinning and his senses were becoming sluggish.

Cy: "Dwi ddim yn teimlo'n dda," meddai Rhys, gan atal am eiliad.
En: “I don’t feel well,” said Rhys, pausing for a moment.

Cy: Sylwodd Eira ac yntau'n dechrau llwydo.
En: Eira noticed him beginning to pale.

Cy: "Mae'n edrych fel altwïwed gamblediga. Mae'n rhaid i ni fod yn ofalus," atebodd hi.
En: “It looks like altitude sickness. We must be careful,” she replied.

Cy: "Sawn i'n ddymuno troi'n ôl," nododd Gethin, yn gwybod y risgiau.
En: “I’d wish to turn back,” noted Gethin, aware of the risks.

Cy: Ond roedd Rhys yn benderfynol.
En: But Rhys was determined.

Cy: Yn ei galon, roedd awydd i barhau, i weld y copa gyda'i lygaid ei hun.
En: In his heart, he had a desire to continue, to see the summit with his own eyes.

Cy: Ond wrth i'r grŵp symud ychydig ymhellach, syrthiodd Rhys ar lawr, ei gorff yn teimlo'n drwm a'i feddwl yn pylu.
En: But as the group moved a bit further, Rhys collapsed to the ground, his body feeling heavy and his mind fading.

Cy: Yn gyflym, rhuthrodd Eira a Gethin ato, gan helpu Rhys i gynnal a gweithio'n galed i ddod â fo i lawr i dir mwy diogel.
En: Quickly, Eira and Gethin rushed to his side, helping Rhys to stand and working hard to bring him down to safer ground.

Cy: "Rydyn ni'n gallu paratoi i fynd eto ryw ddiwrnod, gyda mwy o brofiad," dywedodd Eira yn dyner.
En: “We can prepare to go again another day, with more experience,” Eira said gently.

Cy: Deallodd Rhys, wrth symud yn araf yn ôl i lawr y llwybr, pwysigrwydd gwrando ar ei gorff a bod yn barod.
En: Rhys understood, as he moved slowly back down the path, the importance of listening to his body and being prepared.

Cy: Er ei fod wedi methu â chyrraedd y copa heddiw, roedd e wedi dysgu gwers bwysig.
En: Although he failed to reach the summit today, he learned an important lesson.

Cy: Gyda chymorth ei ffrindiau, roedd yn ddiogel, ac roedd hynny'n bwysicach na dim.
En: With the help of his friends, he was safe, and that was more important than anything.

Cy: A gyda'r mynyddoedd rugged yn gwylio, addawodd edrych ymlaen at y camau nesaf ar ei antur, gyda pharch newydd at yr uchelfannau.
En: And with the rugged mountains watching, he promised to look forward to the next steps in his adventure, with a newfound respect for the heights.

En: In the tranquility of the secluded wilderness at the foot of the Bannau Brycheiniog, Carys was climbing with her thoughts busy.

Cy: Yr haf oedd hi, ac roedd y coed tal a'r dail gwyrddlas yn chwifio'n araf yn yr awel ysgafn.
En: It was summer, and the tall trees and the greenish-blue leaves waved slowly in the gentle breeze.

Cy: Ar y droedffordd gul, roedd cysur tawelwch, ond ceisiodd Carys canolbwyntio.
En: On the narrow path, there was a comforting silence, but Carys tried to concentrate.

Cy: Roedd llythyr o'i phoced yn pwyso'n drwm ar ei chalon.
En: A letter from her pocket weighed heavily on her heart.

Cy: Roedd wedi dod â hi i'r fan yma, i egluro'i thynged.
En: It had brought her to this place, to explain her fate.

Cy: Llythyr gan Rhys, rhywun a oedd wedi bod yn rhan o'i bywyd ers cyhyd, ond a oedd yn colli ei le yn ei dyfodol annelwig.
En: A letter from Rhys, someone who had been a part of her life for so long, but was losing his place in her uncertain future.

Cy: Roedd ei llais gwychog a'i bapyr llaw mae he sydd bellach yn pinc wedi ei ddiystyfu.
En: His grand voice and the paper now pink had forsaken her.

Cy: Ond roedd hen dristwch yn aros o hyd.
En: But an old sadness lingered still.

Cy: “Carys!” Daeth llais o'i hôl.
En: “Carys!” A voice came from behind her.

Cy: Emrys oedd yno.
En: Emrys was there.

Cy: Y ffrind dirgel hwnnw oedd bob amser wedi bod wrth ei hochr.
En: That mysterious friend who had always been by her side.

En: He had something left about that letter, but he never disclosed it.

Cy: “Rydw i’n gwybod, Carys,” meddai Emrys, “ond beth bynnag a wnei di, mae'n rhaid i ti benderfynu dy newid dy hun.”
En: “I know, Carys,” said Emrys, “but whatever you do, you must decide to change yourself.”

Cy: Roeddent yn cerdded gyda'i gilydd i'r deml guddiedig.
En: They walked together to the hidden temple.

Cy: Roedd y ffordd yn steep, ond ni ystyriodd Carys fynyd ag o roeddynt nawr yn agosáu at y ffin hon ar y ffordd o chinio at wynt nwy nad oedd yn mynd i ffwrdd.
En: The path was steep, but Carys didn’t consider for a moment as they now approached this boundary on the road from lunch to a lingering mist that wouldn’t clear.

Cy: Dyma'r Deial Cuddiedig, wedi'i lapio mewn cysgodion a hen caeon.
En: Here was the Hidden Sundial, wrapped in shadows and old fields.

Cy: Cribynodd ei oeddachos a phlymio’r llun o flodau gwyllt o’u hamgylch.
En: She cradled the casing and immersed herself in the image of wildflowers around them.

Cy: Roedd yr awyrgylch yn llawn o barch a thawelwch pur.
En: The atmosphere was filled with pure respect and silence.

Cy: Gwnaeth Carys wyr riog, ei throed yn sleifio tras o bob cur i fe sgwnain crynoeth a theimlodd ewyn crwban yn malu’n mosog.
En: Carys perched softly, her foot sliding from step to step, feeling mossy mush crumble.

Cy: Yng nghanol y Deml, dyma oedd ei union bwynt er mwyn dewisiad pennaf.
En: In the middle of the Temple, this was her exact point for the ultimate choice.

Cy: Llythyr a’r nêdr o’i llaw gafwyd i’r meddwl.
En: Letter and determination left her hand to the mind.

Cy: Gwibnododd wynt herwddolwg unfaen at y Ddaear, wedi’i ddwylo chwipio wrtho i ben.
En: A whimsical breeze flicked upwards to the Earth, her hands whipping against it in reckoning.

Cy: Daliai’r llythyr ar ei ddwylo.
En: She held the letter in her hands.

Cy: Meddyliodd am yr holl frawddegau.
En: She thought about all the sentences.

Cy: Pob gair.
En: Every word.

Cy: Cymrynydd byth orffenedig anchem.
En: An unending dialogue never fully completed.

Cy: Perdebrodd, agorodd hi’r llythyr.
En: Resolute, she opened the letter.

Cy: Gyda disymwyth i lawr e'r rhedodd y llythyr cadarn yn gochas o'i gyflwr yn erbyn ei wyneb, yn lledaethu yr hyn oedd ar bob tawel.
En: Abruptly, the sturdy letter ran red against her face, spreading the quiet it held.

Cy: Eiriau Rhys oedd wedi dod i'w golau yn gliriach nawr, ac yn yr eiliad yna, cymerasai ddiddordeb parhaol tuag at ysbryd rhydd yw traovia.
En: The words of Rhys came clearer now, and in that moment, she took a lasting interest toward the liberated spirit of wander.

Cy: "Rhyd wedi'i derbyn," meddai hi'n dawel i Emrys.
En: “Road accepted,” she said quietly to Emrys.

Cy: Goleuai gwên tawelgar ei rhagweledigaeth.
En: A serene smile illuminated her foresight.

Cy: Roedd y caeon bellach yn ysbrydoledig yn ddiuchel, wedi'i hwyr rhiocaf wrth ymdrochi'n llum fel ffrind hir-goll.
En: The fields were now inspiringly vibrant, long past mundane in their bathe of a long-lost friend.

Cy: Ym Manna’r Deml, hy hywddal saws i’r dyfodol ym masglanol, roedd Carys yn rhydd a phuredig.
En: In the Silence of the Temple, with joyful sauce to the mixed-faced future, Carys was free and purified.

Cy: Roedd y gorffennol yn aros am y diwedd ac ystyr rhwng dwylo mân y fam sydd yn y graddol ac yn fuddugoliaethus yn uniongyrchol.
En: The past awaited closure, meaning clasped in the gentle hands of the gradual and triumphantly direct mother.

Cy: Roedd ei llythyr wedi'i ddarllen, ei pharch wedi'i roi, a gwir ryddid i'r gorwel arall, yn aros i egluro rhan ohoni i honno newydd.
En: Her letter read, her respect given, and true freedom to the other horizon, waiting to explain her part in this new one.

Cy: Y diwedd.
En: The end.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mewn llecyn hudolus yn Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog, roedd Brynn a Rhian yn dechrau ar eu hantur cerdded.
En: In a magical spot in the Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, Brynn and Rhian were beginning their hiking adventure.

Cy: Y diwrnod haf yn byrlymu gyda gwres, ond yr ochrgwynt o wyntoedd oer yn codi’r borfa, yn eu hannog i fynd ymlaen.
En: The summer day was bubbling with heat, but the side-wind of cold breezes lifting the grass encouraged them to go on.

Cy: Roedd Brynn, gyda’i lygaid llawn disgwyliad, yn cynllunio llun perffaith o’r machlud o ben y bryn.
En: Brynn, with eyes full of anticipation, was planning a perfect picture of the sunset from the top of the hill.

Cy: "Roeddwn i'n gweld y lluniau hyn o'r golygfa," meddai Brynn, yn cyffroi, wrth iddyn nhw ddechrau dringo. “Byddwn ni’n ei wneud mewn pryd.”
En: "I saw these pictures of the view," said Brynn, excited, as they began their climb. “We’ll make it in time.”

Cy: Rhian, erioed wedi cerdded llwybrau anoddach o’r blaen, edrychodd o'i hamgylch gyda rhywfaint o bryder yn ei llygaid.
En: Rhian, who had never hiked more challenging paths before, looked around with some concern in her eyes.

Cy: Ond roedd hi’n awyddus i rannu’r eiliad hon gyda Brynn ac i herio ei hun.
En: But she was eager to share this moment with Brynn and to challenge herself.

Cy: Roeddent wedi cerdded ychydig o’r blaen mewn cysgodion coediog, y planhigion meddal yn crocio o dan eu traed.
En: They had walked a bit earlier in shadowy woodland, the soft plants crunching underfoot.

Cy: Troellodd y llwybr ymlaen, yn codi yn serth at ben y bryn.
En: The path wound on, rising steeply to the hilltop.

Cy: Wrth i oriau’r prynhawn ddod i ben, teimlodd Rhian ei hesgyrn yn dechrau blino.
En: As the afternoon hours came to an end, Rhian felt her bones beginning to tire.

Cy: Ym mhob cam, roedd hi’n cwestiynu ei dyfalbarhad.
En: With each step, she questioned her perseverance.

Cy: “Mae’r llwybr yma’n anoddach nag yr oeddwn i’n ei ddychmygu,” meddai Rhian, yn stopio am anadl.
En: “This path is harder than I imagined,” said Rhian, stopping for breath.

Cy: Gwnaeth Brynn oedi, sylweddoli bod y rhediad i’r top wedi bod yn rhy gyflym i’w chyfaill.
En: Brynn paused, realizing the rush to the top had been too quick for her friend.

Cy: "Gad i ni arafu," brysiodd Brynn. "Nid y llun sy’n bwysig, ond y daith."
En: "Let’s slow down," urged Brynn. "It’s not the picture that matters, but the journey."

Cy: Gyda’r haul yn suddo’n is, dechreuodd y goleuni melyn ei ledaenu ar draws y bryniau.
En: With the sun sinking lower, a golden light began to spread across the hills.

Cy: Roeddent ger marc y man codwm, y maes y mae Brynn wedi clywed amdano fel y porth i un o’r golygfeydd mwyaf trawiadol yn y parc.
En: They were nearing the drop-off point, a field Brynn had heard of as the gateway to one of the most striking views in the park.

Cy: Trodd y llwybr yn serth.
En: The path turned steep.

Cy: Cilioodd Rhian, serch hynny, yn nerthol.
En: Rhian withdrew, feeling nervous.

Cy: “Gad i ni roi cynnig arni,” anogodd Brynn, eu llais tawel yn dathlu gydag empathi llawen.
En: “Let’s give it a try,” encouraged Brynn, their gentle voice celebrating with joyful empathy.

Cy: “Mae dy falchder di i’r lle ers y dechrau.”
En: “Your pride brought you here from the start.”

Cy: Oedodd Rhian, yna, teimlad o benderfyniad yn codi yn ei chalon.
En: Rhian paused, then felt a sense of determination rising in her heart.

Cy: Gyda phob cam, cododd yn gryfach.
En: With each step, she grew stronger.

Cy: Y diweddglo, sef glideithiau rhyw bryniau, oedd ar y gorwel o’r diwedd, yn ymddangos fel llwyfan theatr enfawr.
En: The finale, a glimpse of some sweeping hills, was on the horizon at last, appearing like a vast theater stage.

Cy: Yn olaf, cyrhaeddodd y ddwy’r golwg radaidd, yn frwdfrydig.
En: Finally, the two reached the radiant view, elated.

Cy: Eisteddodd Rhian wrth ochr Brynn, cylch yn amgylchynu eu hysgwyddau wrth iddynt syllu ar ochr oren ays proffil y bryniau.
En: Rhian sat beside Brynn, an arm circling her shoulders as they gazed at the orange side-profile of the hills.

Cy: Y nofio menywod, brafwch yn eu wynebau.
En: The women swam with warmth on their faces.

Cy: “R oeddwn i ddim wedi’i wneud hebddot ti,” siaradodd Rhian, ei chalon yn llawn hyrwyddiant haeddiannol.
En: “I wouldn’t have made it without you,” Rhian spoke, her heart full of deserved triumph.

Cy: Roedd Brynn yn gwenu, yn gwybod bod y ffrind yno a'r aurau melyn yn eiliadau a fyddai'n para.
En: Brynn smiled, knowing the friend and the golden auras would be moments to last.

Cy: Roedd natur wedi troi i'r dwy, yn siapio a cal omlifeithiau, sail i fynediad newydd, a chyfeillgarwch ehangach.
En: Nature had turned to the two, shaping open pathways, a foundation for newfound access, and broader friendship.

Cy: Ac fel y bu i’r haul ddiflannu gydag urddas i’r gorwel, roedd Brynn a Rhian yn gwybod eu bod wedi cyflawni llawer mwy na golwg fendigedig.
En: And as the sun vanished with dignity to the horizon, Brynn and Rhian knew they had achieved far more than a magnificent view.

Cy: Roeddenȳt wedi dysgu am ddewrder, amynedd, a sut weithiau, mae’r daith ei hun, yn bwysicach na’r gyrchfan.
En: They had learned about courage, patience, and how sometimes, the journey itself is more important than the destination.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn nhymerwch y bryniau maestrefol, lle mae'r Brecon Beacons yn brolio o'u harddwch naturiol, roedd Gwyneth yn cynllunio rhywbeth arbennig iawn.
En: In the embrace of the suburban hills, where the Brecon Beacons boast of their natural beauty, Gwyneth was planning something very special.

Cy: Roedd y gwanwyn wedi rhoi ffordd i'r haf, gan lenwi'r tir â lliwiau bywiog a'r awyr â chochni cynnes.
En: Spring had given way to summer, filling the land with vibrant colors and the sky with a warm glow.

Cy: Roedd diwrnod pen-blwydd Rhys yn agosáu, ac er ei fod yn cynrychioli cyfle i ddawelwch a dathlu, roedd rhywbeth yn peri calondid iddi - y tywydd tywyddus a'r ffrind oedd wedi ei wasgu gan ei swydd.
En: Rhys' birthday was approaching, and while it represented an opportunity for tranquility and celebration, something troubled her - the fickle weather and the friend who was overwhelmed by his job.

Cy: "Carys, mae'n rhaid i ni wneud rhywbeth i helpu Rhys," meddai Gwyneth yn llawen wrth iddi bacio'r cerdyn mynediad i'r Brecon Beacons.
En: "Carys, we must do something to help Rhys," said Gwyneth happily as she packed the entry card for the Brecon Beacons.

Cy: Roedd hi wedi ystyried ei holl opsiynau.
En: She had considered all her options.

Cy: "Mae angen iddo orffwys a mwynhau.
En: "He needs to rest and enjoy himself."

Cy: ""Ac rydym ni'n gwybod mai rŵan yw'r amser cywir," atebodd Carys yn bwyllog wrth iddi gyflwyno'r pysgodyn tun a'r torth bara newydd.
En: "And we know now is the right time," replied Carys calmly as she presented the canned fish and the fresh loaf of bread.

Cy: "Rydw i'n siŵr y bydd popeth yn mynd yn iawn.
En: "I'm sure everything will go well."

Cy: " Ond gyda'r awyr yn lleddydu'n anghyson – cymylau a glaw wrth y gorwel – roedd cynllun Gwyneth dan fygythiad.
En: But with the sky turning inconsistently – clouds and rain on the horizon – Gwyneth's plan was under threat.

Cy: Yn sydyn, un dimensiwn arall o’r frwydr oedd y tywydd niweidiol.
En: Suddenly, another dimension of the battle was the adverse weather.

Cy: Wedyn, ymddangosodd y purdeb yn ei meddwl - oedd angen risgio’r picnic neu empeithio popeth dan do?
En: Then, clarity appeared in her mind - was it necessary to risk the picnic or relocate everything indoors?

Cy: Roedd Rhys ar fin gwrthod y parti, gan honni bod cyfarfod pwysig yn chwilio am ei sylw.
En: Rhys was on the verge of refusing the party, claiming that an important meeting demanded his attention.

Cy: Ond roedd Gwyneth a Carys yn benderfynol.
En: But Gwyneth and Carys were determined.

Cy: Nid oedd y dwy ffrind yn barod i adael i Rhys anwybyddu’r hapusrwydd a ddylai ddod gyda pen-blwydd.
En: The two friends were not ready to let Rhys ignore the happiness that should come with a birthday.

Cy: "Rhys, nid yw gwaith bob amser yn rhaid bod blaenoriaeth," pwyso Gwyneth, gan ychwanegu hyfrydwch i'w eiriau.
En: "Rhys, work doesn't always have to be the priority," urged Gwyneth, adding charm to her words.

Cy: "Mae'n amser i ddysgu'r pwysigrwydd o amser ar gyfer ti dy hun.
En: "It's time to learn the importance of time for yourself."

Cy: "Wrth i Rhys edrych ar y ddwy – y ffrindiau oedd wedi bod yno ar draws colledion a gwaith prysur – dechreuodd sylweddoli'r wir arwyddocâd a bwysigrwydd o'i adegau personol.
En: As Rhys looked at the two – the friends who had been there throughout losses and busy work – he began to realize the true significance and importance of his personal moments.

Cy: Derbyniodd y gwahoddiad.
En: He accepted the invitation.

Cy: Peth ychydig oriau yn ddiweddarach, roedd y picniad wedi’i leoli'n ddigon hapus y tu hwnt yr afon a'r coed, gyda'r cymylau wedi diflannu fel rhagarweiniad i gyfnod o lawenydd ac eiliadau unigryw.
En: A few hours later, the picnic was happily located beyond the river and the trees, with the clouds having disappeared as a prelude to a period of joy and unique moments.

Cy: Roedd yr awyr yn glir, a'r haul yn tywynnu'n bobl-berffaith.
En: The sky was clear, and the sun shone perfectly.

Cy: Rhoddodd awyrgylch ddigyfnewid i'r picnic.
En: It provided an unwavering atmosphere to the picnic.

Cy: Gwenodd Gwyneth wrth weld Rhys yn chwerthin, yn ymlacio, a dirnad ei gyflwyno ar fwy na dim ond cyfrifoldebau.
En: Gwyneth smiled as she saw Rhys laughing, relaxing, and perceiving himself as more than just responsibilities.

Cy: Wedi'r cwbwl, dim ond unwaith fydd ef yn byw, gywir?
En: After all, he only lives once, right?

Cy: Yng nghanol y wefr o dawelwch ac adloniant, roedd Rhys yn barod i ddiolch y ddwy ffrind am y sylwch gwerthfawr na allai ei ddychwelyd.
En: Amid the thrill of tranquility and entertainment, Rhys was ready to thank the two friends for the valuable insight that he couldn't repay.

Cy: Roedd y brofiad honedig wedi newid ei canolbwynt.
En: This cherished experience had shifted his focus.

Cy: Roedd yr haf wedi cryfhau ei ymdrech i brofi'r llawenydd mewn bywyd, a chadw at y diffiniad mwyaf dilys o gyfeillgarwch.
En: The summer had strengthened his effort to experience joy in life and adhere to the truest definition of friendship.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Mae'n noson haf braf yng Nghaerdydd, yn ystod Gŵyl Ganol Haf.
En: It is a fine summer evening in Caerdydd, during the Gŵyl Ganol Haf.

Cy: Mae'r strydoedd yn llawn pobl, cerddoriaeth a golau.
En: The streets are full of people, music, and light.

Cy: Ond oddi tano, mewn hen seleri Castell Caerdydd, mae Gareth, Carys a Llewelyn yn mynd ar antur.
En: But beneath, in the old cellars of Castell Caerdydd, Gareth, Carys, and Llewelyn are embarking on an adventure.

Cy: "Rwyt ti'n sicr na fyddwn ni'n cael trafferth i ddod allan eto?
En: "Are you sure we won't have trouble getting out again?"

Cy: " gofynnodd Llewelyn, ei lygaid yn llydan wrth edrych ar fap yr ardal.
En: asked Llewelyn, his eyes wide as he looked at the map of the area.

Cy: Gwenodd Gareth, yn llawn hyder.
En: Gareth smiled, full of confidence.

Cy: "Peidiwch â phoeni, Llewelyn.
En: "Don't worry, Llewelyn.

Cy: Bydd yn gyfle i ddarganfod rhywbeth newydd!
En: It will be an opportunity to discover something new!"

Cy: " Meddyliodd Gareth am Carys wrth ei ochr, gan obeithio y byddai hi'n gweld ei ddewrder.
En: Gareth thought about Carys next to him, hoping she would see his bravery.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn edrych o gwmpas, ei llygaid yn peillio â chyfrieth.
En: Carys was looking around, her eyes sparkling with intrigue.

Cy: "Mae'n swnio’n gyffrous," meddai, er ei bod hi'n ansicr a ddylai hi ddilyn Gareth mor frwd.
En: "It sounds exciting," she said, though she was unsure if she should follow Gareth so eagerly.

Cy: Teithion nhw trwy'r twneli, a'r waliau lleidiog yn atseinio gyda sain eu camau traed.
En: They traveled through the tunnels, the damp walls echoing with the sound of their footsteps.

Cy: Roedd y teimlad o hanes ac antur yn llenwi'r awyr o'u cwmpas.
En: The feeling of history and adventure filled the air around them.

Cy: Ond wrth iddynt fynd ymhellach, dechreuodd eu fflachlampau fflachio, a'r map yn llai defnyddiol na'r disgwyl.
En: But as they went further, their flashlights began to flicker, and the map was less useful than expected.

Cy: "Wyt ti'n siŵr bod hyn yn syniad da?
En: "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

Cy: " Llewelyn oedd yn ceisio dal ei nerth.
En: Llewelyn was trying to hold his composure.

Cy: Roedd ganddo fraw o ofodau caeedig, er mwyn iddo geisio cuddio hynny.
En: He had a fear of confined spaces, though he tried to hide it.

Cy: "Dim ond ychydig ymhellach," meddai Gareth, yn benderfynol.
En: "Just a little further," said Gareth, determined.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn edrych ar Llewelyn, yn teimlo ei ansicrwydd.
En: Carys looked at Llewelyn, feeling his uncertainty.

Cy: Daethant at groesffordd yn y twneli.
En: They came to a crossroads in the tunnels.

Cy: "Rhaid i ni benderfynu," meddai Carys.
En: "We have to decide," said Carys.

Cy: "Dewch!
En: "Come on!"

Cy: " gwaeddodd Gareth, yn rhai ar gyfer y llwybr culaf.
En: shouted Gareth, choosing the narrowest path.

Cy: Ond Llewelyn gorfu a stopiodd.
En: But Llewelyn hesitated and stopped.

Cy: "Na, rhaid i ni fynd yn ôl!
En: "No, we have to go back!"

Cy: " Roedd ei lais yn llawn ofn a dicter.
En: His voice was full of fear and anger.

Cy: Fe wnaeth yr ymladd.
En: There was an argument.

Cy: Datgelodd Gareth ei dyhead i wneud Carys falch ohono, a Llewelyn datgelodd ei ofnau, tra roedd Carys yn gofyn iddynt i beidio a tharo ar ei gilydd.
En: Gareth revealed his desire to make Carys proud of him, and Llewelyn revealed his fears, while Carys asked them not to fight.

Cy: Yn y pen draw, gwrandawodd Gareth.
En: In the end, Gareth listened.

Cy: "Mae'n iawn," meddai, yn rhedeg â llaw ar y cefn Llewelyn.
En: "It's okay," he said, running a hand on Llewelyn's back.

Cy: "Peidiwn â mynd yn bellach.
En: "Let's not go any further."

Cy: "Symudon nhw'n ôl, nes iddynt sylwi ar ddrysau hen ystafell.
En: They moved back until they noticed the doors of an old room.

Cy: Agorodd Carys y drws a dod o hyd i ystafell gudd, wedi ei llenwi gyda hen atgofion o'r wyl.
En: Carys opened the door and found a hidden room filled with old memories of the festival.

Cy: Canfyddon nhw rhywbeth arbennig, rhywbeth na welwyd ers blynyddoedd.
En: They discovered something special, something unseen for years.

Cy: "Mae'n wych," meddai Llewelyn, yn gwenu gyda rhyddhad.
En: "It's amazing," said Llewelyn, smiling with relief.

Cy: Roeddent wedi dod o hyd i dir cyffredin, ac roedd hyn wedi caledu eu cyfeillgarwch.
En: They had found common ground, and it had strengthened their friendship.

Cy: Deallodd Gareth nad oedd yfaeth o arddangos mewn perygl yn bwysicach na diogelwch y grŵp.
En: Gareth realized that putting the group in danger to show off was not more important than their safety.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn gwerthfawrogi ysbryd anturus Gareth, a Llewelyn falch ei fod wedi dal i fynd ymlaen.
En: Carys appreciated Gareth's adventurous spirit, and Llewelyn was proud he had continued on.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded allan o'r selerau, roedd golau gŵyl yn disgleirio yn y pellter, ac roedd Carys, Gareth a Llewelyn yn gwybod eu bod wedi creu atgof fyddai'n aros gyda nhw bob amser.
En: As they walked out of the cellars, the festival lights were shining in the distance, and Carys, Gareth, and Llewelyn knew they had created a memory that would stay with them always.

Cy: Mae cyfeillgarwch yn dod â mwy o werth na'r antur mwyaf dirgel.
En: Friendship holds more value than the most mysterious adventure.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y gwanwyn cynnar, ym myw haint bywiog Gorsaf Maes, roedd Rhys yn osgoi pob trafod difrifol drwy brofi ei ffrwd o straeon.
En: In the early spring, amidst the lively hustle of Gorsaf Maes, Rhys was avoiding all serious discussions by testing his stream of stories.

Cy: Roedd ei goes wedi'i bandio'n dynn, yn gamlas ar-conna i atgofion a chwilfrydedd.
En: His leg was wrapped tightly, a channel to memories and curiosity.

Cy: "Siân, beth ti'n feddwl am fy teorïa newydd?
En: "Siân, what do you think of my new theory?"

Cy: " meddai Rhys yn gynnes, gyda disglyg yn ei lygad.
En: Rhys said warmly, with a twinkle in his eye.

Cy: "Meddylia hyn: mae 'na gysylltiad rhwng fy nghoes a'r tywydd!
En: "Imagine this: there's a connection between my leg and the weather!"

Cy: "Edrychodd Siân, y nyrs ofalgar, ar Rhys gyda sgeptigiaeth amlwg.
En: Siân, the caring nurse, looked at Rhys with clear skepticism.

Cy: "Rwy'n amheus, Rhys.
En: "I'm doubtful, Rhys.

Cy: Sut alla i goelio hynny?
En: How can I believe that?"

Cy: " atebodd hi, er bod gwên fach ar sudd ei hwyneb.
En: she replied, though there was a small smile on her face.

Cy: Gyda llaw, llusgodd Rhys y bolyn cotiaid tuag at ei lwyth o bapurau a nodiadau, pob un yn llawysgrif ei lafur hunan a'i gynllwynion llawen.
En: With a gesture, Rhys dragged the coat stand towards his heap of papers and notes, each one penned in his own handwriting of self-written labor and cheerful conspiracies.

Cy: "Rwy'n cynnig bet, Siân!
En: "I propose a bet, Siân!

Cy: Os bydd 'n glawio heno, wn i'n ennill.
En: If it rains tonight, I win."

Cy: "Gwenodd Siân yn awyddus, gan osgoi chwythu anadl yn gwbl swnllyd.
En: Siân smiled eagerly, avoiding bursting into full-throated laughter.

Cy: "Rhys, mae dal gennym rai cyfarfodydd i fynd drwy.
En: "Rhys, we've still got some meetings to go through.

Cy: Ond am syniad: gadael i weddill y staff ymuno!
En: But here's an idea: let's get the rest of the staff involved!"

Cy: "Yn raddol, lledaenodd y gair o gwmpas y gorsaf.
En: Gradually, the word spread around the station.

Cy: Roedd yr awyr yn orlawn o chwerthin tenau tra bod eun berthnasau eraill, fel 'Llywydd Rhys', yn erbyn cerdded i fyny'r grisiau at yr ystafell fawr.
En: The air was filled with thin laughter as other colleagues, like 'President Rhys', refrained from walking up the stairs to the large room.

Cy: Roedd awgrym disyched i wneud beth bynnag posib i gadw'r awyrgylch yn ffres.
En: There was a thirsty suggestion to do anything possible to keep the atmosphere fresh.

Cy: Bu hydra wedi'i wneud o Beti, y cynorthwyydd gwenerows.
En: A hydra was made by Beti, the generous assistant.

Cy: Goglais ei bryd tuag at Rhys ag argraffiad gwisgog, wrth edrych ar y gorchmynion crysal gydag wyneb lleol.
En: She glanced towards Rhys with a dressed impression, while looking at the crystal orders with a local face.

Cy: Daeth ddoe, a daeth yr amser i ddatgelu'r canlyniad i phob llygad oedd wedi dod.
En: Yesterday came, and it was time to reveal the result to every eye present.

Cy: Roedd y mwg yn crynhoi yn yr awyr, a'r holl olion yr ARWeinydd Milfedd Shakespeare oedd yn fwy o arwydd pryderus.
En: Smoke gathered in the air, and all traces of the Milfedd Shakespeare Leader were more of a troubling sign.

Cy: Cyn yr amser derfynol, diflannodd yr oleuni lawr i'r ddaear.
En: Before the final moment, the light faded low to the ground.

Cy: Datblygodd llwydni oedd yn o deledol, tarodd fflach filltir ac yna cyrhaeddodd y glaw - ond dim ond cwpl o ennyd.
En: A mildew developed that was almost telepathic, a flash struck a mile away, and then the rain came - but only for a couple of moments.

Cy: "Dwi'n dal i alcodi'r morol buddugoliaeth gen i," dywedodd Rhys yn feisty, gan roi mwgwd llydan dros ystod o bobl.
En: "I'm still heralding my maritime victory," said Rhys feistily, spreading a wide grin over a range of people.

Cy: Roedd Siân mor siomedig mewn gafodydd ac yn gwneud gwobr 'athronydd tywydd' o dywod a phapur trawsbynciol, ac yna rhoi iddo.
En: Siân was so disappointed in meetings and made a ‘weather philosopher’ award from sand and cross-stitched paper, and then gave it to him.

Cy: "Rhys, rwyt yn ychwanegu bywyd i'r ysbyty," cyfaddefodd hi, gan beidio â chuddio ei mawredd llawn.
En: "Rhys, you bring life to the hospital," she admitted, not hiding her full extent of admiration.

Cy: Yn y diwedd, sylweddolodd Rhys faint yr oedd ei deulu, a cherdded i'r ffenestr, yn edrych at y porth ar y picnic.
En: In the end, Rhys realized the breadth of his family, and walked to the window, looking at the porch for the picnic.

Cy: Roedd wedi agor ei galon i visita cartref gwendid anhepgor a Chymdeithas,—a gyda hynny, roedd Siân hefyd wedi darganfod hwyl y gwyro gwrth-gynnar a chynhesu clustai hen gyd-beirniadaeth.
En: He had opened his heart to the unwavering weakness and home visit Society,—and with that, Siân too had discovered the joy of early bending and the warmth of old shared criticism.

Story Transcript:

Cy: Ar wasgar o eira a rhew, mae'n haf yn y Tundra Arctaidd.
En: Scattered with snow and ice, it is summer in the Tundra Arctaidd.

Cy: Enghraifft o anialwch brithion, ond hefyd o harddwch digymar, yw'r safle ymchwil yma.
En: An example of patchy wilderness, but also of unparalleled beauty, is this research site.

Cy: Mae pyst y station bach, syml, yn gludo'r adeilad wrth y ddaear rhewllyd.
En: The posts of the small, simple station anchor the building to the icy ground.

Cy: Un diwrnod, wrth i'r gwyntoedd oer chwiban-harmonïo, roedd Gwenllian yn sefyll ar linell yr orwel, sbectrwg wrth law.
En: One day, as the cold winds whistle-harmonized, Gwenllian stood on the horizon line, spectroscope in hand.

Cy: Roedd hi'n astudio'r dyfroedd iâ gyda tharebion newydd.
En: She was studying the ice waters with new methods.

Cy: Gwenllian oedd arbenigwr ar fioleg forol gyda golwg dropynog dros chwyldroi ei maes trwy darganfod mawr.
En: Gwenllian was an expert in marine biology with a droplet's eye on revolutionizing her field through major discoveries.

Cy: Wrth sodro ei sbectrwg, dyma hi'n gweld rhywun yn dodgei'n trwy'r eira.
En: While adjusting her spectroscope, she saw someone dodging through the snow.

Cy: Aled ydoedd, coedwigwr tawel ond angerddol, un synamor â'r amgylchiadau arctig.
En: It was Aled, a quiet yet passionate forester, as astonished as the Arctic conditions.

Cy: “Bore da, Aled,” meddai Gwenllian, â'i llais yn atseinio'n y gwynt oer.
En: "Good morning, Aled," said Gwenllian, her voice echoing in the cold wind.

Cy: “Mae'r môr heddiw yn ymddangos yn llonydd.” Roedd hi'n tynnu eiliad i gydystyried ei eiriau.
En: "The sea today appears calm." She took a moment to consider her words.

Cy: “Bore da, Gwenllian,” atebodd Aled, tra'n gwyro ymlaen at awyr y tu hwnt,
En: "Good morning, Gwenllian," replied Aled, while glancing towards the sky beyond,

Cy: “ond mae'r awyrgylch yn ddigon dryslyd. Rwy'n darogan eira yn fuan.”
En: "but the atmosphere is quite confusing. I predict snow soon."

Cy: Arhosodd fel hyn am rai munudau. Gwylio'r môr a'r nef.
En: They remained like this for a few minutes, watching the sea and the sky.

Cy: Sbardun gan wefr dirgel, Gwenllian oedd y cyntaf i ddarogan fwy.
En: Driven by a mysterious thrill, Gwenllian was the first to propose more.

Cy: “A wyt ti'n fodlon ymuno â mi i archwilio ffurfiant iâ lleol? Rwyf wedi gweld rhai siapiau difyr iawn.”
En: "Are you willing to join me in exploring the local ice formations? I've seen some very interesting shapes."

Cy: Wrth fflachio gwen wamal, Aled cytunodd.
En: Flashing a whimsical smile, Aled agreed.

Cy: Dechreuon nhw’r daith gyda'i gilydd.
En: They began the journey together.

Cy: Gwmpasodd yr iâ acw i agweddau newydd gan droseddu troellau rhewllyd gyda'u hysbryd benderfynol.
En: They circumnavigated the ice there to new perspectives, traversing icy spirals with their resolute spirit.

Cy: Ond er mwyn i'r tywydd ddod yn waeth, gwasangen nhw gario'n eu ymlaen hyd at y caban bychan gerllaw ymhen traflyncin.
En: But as the weather worsened, they had to carry on to the small cabin nearby, ultimately reaching it with difficulty.

Cy: Roeddent wedi'u trwyddo gan ysgafnder y symudiadau, er eu bod yn gwybod bod rhaid iddynt aros yno tan y storm ffarwelio.
En: They were overcome with the lightness of movement, knowing they had to stay there until the storm passed.

Cy: Y tu mewn, gyda'r gwynt yn berwi tu allan, cawsant gyfle i siarad yn agored.
En: Inside, with the wind boiling outside, they had a chance to speak openly.

Cy: “Mae'n anodd iawn, Gwenllian,” dechreuodd Aled yn ddiamddiffyn.
En: "It's very difficult, Gwenllian," Aled began vulnerably.

Cy: “Gallaf weld eich angerdd chi dros eich astudiaethau, ond mae rhywbeth arall yr un mor bwysig. Cwmni da.”
En: "I can see your passion for your studies, but there's something else just as important. Good company."

Cy: Gwenllian, erbyn hyn mewn ymdrech i ymennydd, atebodd:
En: Gwenllian, now in an attempt to think, replied,

Cy: “Mae'r uned hon yn unig iawn. Rwyf bob amser wedi bod yn siwr o fy nod, ond mae yma offeryn cynnig ystyrriaeth hefyd.”
En: "This unit is very solitary. I've always been sure of my aim, but there's a tool here that offers consideration too."

Cy: Wrth i'r storm sleifio ymaith ar garlam cynnar ynyd, daeth y ddau allan.
En: As the storm sneaked away on an early burst of energy, the two emerged.

Cy: Roedd yr awyr bellach yn glir, yn llonydd fel cusan tawel o dirwylltoedd yr Arctaidd.
En: The sky was now clear, still as a quiet kiss from the Arctic's wilderness.

Cy: Er iddynt fynd yn ôl at eu gwaith, roeddent yn gyfoethocach gan y cyswllt a wnaed.
En: Though they returned to their work, they were enriched by the connection made.

Cy: O'r dydd hwnnw ymlaen, roedd Gwenllian yn ffeindiau cydbwysedd rhwng ei uchelgeisiau a'i rhwymau personol mewn gobaith na aiff y ddau byth yn flasu'r unigedd hynny eto gyda'r gwynt.
En: From that day forward, Gwenllian found a balance between her ambitions and her personal bonds in hope that they would never taste that solitude again with the wind.

Cy: Ym mhob cornel o Aberaeron, mae straeon cuddiedig yn aros i ddod i'r amlwg.
En: In every corner of Aberaeron, hidden stories await to emerge.

Cy: Yn un o'r cornelion anghofiol hynny, mae adeilad â heniaith glên o chwyldro diwydiannol, warws a godwyd am gyfnod hirach na dim amdano.
En: In one of those forgotten corners, there is a building with a lovely old dialect of the industrial revolution, a warehouse that had stood for longer than anything around it.

Cy: Un diwrnod haf, dan haul cryf, Emrys, mab cydnerth a ddychmygol, gwynebodd yr adeilad hwn gydag egwyl llawn sŵn adaro.

Cy: "Emrys," meddai yn dawel ond yn gadarn, "mae hen gryfder ar y tir yma.
En: "Emrys," she said softly but firmly, "there is ancient strength on this land.

Cy: Wyt ti'n siŵr am hyn?
En: Are you sure about this?"

Cy: ""Mae'n bwysig," atebodd Emrys, "dyrngarwch y teulu rhaid iddo ddwyn i'r amlwg.
En: "It's important," replied Emrys, "the family loyalty must be brought to light."

Cy: "Roedd Rhys wair i’r afiaeth, ond ei gyfeillgarwch byth yn tynnu’n bell.
En: Rhys was wary of the risk, yet his friendship never strayed far.

Cy: "Gallai hyn fod yn niweidiol.
En: "This could be harmful.

En: But if the choice is yours to greet, I must."

Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd diwrnod braf yn Eryri, gyda haul cynnes yng ngweld y caeau a’r mynyddoedd llechi trawiadol.
En: It was a fine day in Eryri, with warm sunshine bathing the fields and the impressive slate mountains.

Cy: Roedd Llewelyn, Rhian, ac Emrys ar antur, yn barod i fentro trwy'r Parc Cenedlaethol.
En: Llewelyn, Rhian, and Emrys were on an adventure, ready to explore through the National Park.

Cy: Roedd Llewelyn yn arwain y grŵp, ei galon yn llawn cyffro a gwefr wrth iddynt ddechrau’r daith yn Nhrawsfynydd.
En: Llewelyn was leading the group, his heart full of excitement and thrill as they started the journey at Trawsfynydd.

Cy: “Rwy'n teimlo pralaisi!” siaradodd Llewelyn wrth Rhian ac Emrys.
En: "I feel exhilarated!" exclaimed Llewelyn to Rhian and Emrys.

Cy: Roedd Rhian yn gwrando’n astud, yn dal ei bag cefn yn dynn.
En: Rhian was listening intently, holding her backpack tightly.

Cy: Roedd hi’n fwy gofalus, gwybod bod perygl o broblemau annisgwyl.
En: She was more cautious, knowing there was a danger of unexpected problems.

Cy: “Hei, edrychwch ar y golygfeydd,” meddai Emrys, gyda’i lygadau wedi'i hoelio ar y creigiau y tu ôl.
En: "Hey, look at the views," said Emrys, with his eyes fixed on the rocks behind.

Cy: Roedd e bob amser yn chwilio am bethau newydd, am deimlo’r cysylltiad dwfn â’r natur.
En: He was always looking for new things, seeking that deep connection with nature.

Cy: Wrth iddynt gerdded, dechreuodd y llwybr droi yn fwy garw.
En: As they walked, the path began to turn rougher.

Cy: Roedd cwymp sydyn, a Rhian yn gwympo i’r ddaear.
En: There was a sudden fall, and Rhian fell to the ground.

Cy: Gwelodd Llewelyn yn syth mai rhywbeth oedd yn anghywir; Rhian oedd yn dal ei anadl yn gryf, anaf wedi ei chanlyn.
En: Llewelyn immediately saw that something was wrong; Rhian was catching her breath strongly, an injury attending her.

Cy: “Mae’n boenus iawn,” ochneidiodd.
En: "It's very painful," she sighed.

Cy: Pan sylweddolodd Llewelyn bod anaf Rhian yn ei hwynebu’n fwy difrifol nag yr oeddent wedi tybio, daeth tensiwn y daith yn haws ei deimlo.
En: When Llewelyn realized Rhian's injury was more serious than they had assumed, the tension of the journey became easier to feel.

Cy: Roedd holl gynlluniau Llewelyn ac uchelgeisiau’n teimlo bod ar fin cwympo.
En: All of Llewelyn's plans and ambitions felt like they were about to collapse.

Cy: “Beth wnawn ni nawr?” holodd Emrys, llais tawel yn torri i mewn.
En: "What shall we do now?" asked Emrys, his quiet voice breaking in.

Cy: Roedd pawb yn edrych ar Llewelyn am benderfyniad.
En: Everyone looked to Llewelyn for a decision.

Cy: Roedd ei galon yn dathlu her antur ond hefyd yn gwybod bod angen gofalu am Rhian.
En: His heart celebrated the adventure's challenge but also knew that they needed to care for Rhian.

Cy: “Mae'n rhaid i ni droi yn ôl,” cyhoeddodd Llewelyn yn benderfynol, gan fod Rhian yn bwysicach i gyd iddo.
En: "We have to turn back," declared Llewelyn decisively, as Rhian was most important to him.

Cy: Gwelodd bod gwerth yn y daith ei hun a’r cyfeillgarwch yn fwy nag unrhyw fynydd.
En: He saw that the value lay in the journey itself and the friendship more than in any mountain.

Cy: Wrth ddechrau y daith yn ôl, gorchmynodd Llewelyn i Emrys cynorthwyo Rhian, tra bod y lluniau a’r eiliadau gyda’i gilydd yn aros yn eu meddyliau.
En: As they began the journey back, Llewelyn instructed Emrys to assist Rhian, while the pictures and moments together stayed in their minds.

Cy: Roedd haul yr haf yn dal i ddisgleirio yn y cymoedd, a gyda phob cam, dywedodd Llewelyn “Gwell cae ddod i'r diwedd gyda phawb.”
En: The summer sun continued to shine in the valleys, and with every step, Llewelyn said, "Better for the field to come to an end with everyone."

Cy: Roedd y diwrnod wedi athronyddio, a meddyliodd Llewelyn am yr hyn oedd wir yn bwysig.
En: The day had turned philosophical, and Llewelyn pondered what was truly important.

Cy: Datryswyd yr argyfwng yn y ffordd orau, a Llewelyn dysgodd bod y'n berthnasau o gwmpas yn bwysicach na'r tirweddau.
En: The crisis was resolved in the best way, and Llewelyn learned that the relationships around are more important than the landscapes.

Cy: Roedd yn ddiwrnod gwers i'w gofio, lle dysgodd tri ffrind bod cariad a chwmni yn y trychineb yn rhoi ysbryd newydd i’r enaid.
En: It was a memorable lesson of a day, where three friends learned that love and companionship in disaster bring new spirit to the soul.
