Story Transcript:

Cy: Yn y bae llyngesol, roedd popeth yn glasurol gyda awyr o arweinyddiaeth hyderus ar ysgwyddau Gareth.
En: In the bae llyngesol, everything was classic with an air of confident leadership on Gareth's shoulders.

Cy: Roedd y dyddiau'n byr, y nosweithiau'n hir, a'r oerfel yn treiddio trwy bob croen.
En: The days were short, the nights long, and the cold penetrated through every skin.

Cy: Roedd y bae'n llawn gweithgaredd, er bod llawer o bersonél wedi mynd adref ar gyfer gwyliau'r Nadolig.
En: The bae was full of activity, although many personnel had gone home for Christmas holidays.

Cy: Roedd addurniadau a goleuadau yn drwch o gwmpas, yn difetha'r niwl metelaidd oedd dros y llongau mawr a oedd yn gorwedd yn hirgrwn yn erbyn y glannau.
En: Decorations and lights were thick all around, spoiling the metallic fog that lay over the large ships stretched oblong against the shores.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn gweithio'n galed i baratoi ar gyfer yr archwiliad offer pwysig, roedd y cyfnod yn hanfodol iddo.
En: Gareth was working hard to prepare for the important equipment inspection; the period was crucial for him.

Cy: Roedd eisiau sicrhau bod popeth yn berffaith, yn union er mwyn argyhoeddi ei uwch swyddogion ac ennill dyrchafiad.
En: He wanted to ensure everything was perfect, precisely to convince his senior officers and earn a promotion.

Cy: Roedd Rhiannon, ei ffrind gorau, yn gefn iddo bob cam o'r ffordd.
En: Rhiannon, his best friend, supported him every step of the way.

Cy: Roedd hi'n feistres o bwyll ac yn ddigon aeddfed i gadw Gareth yn wybodus.
En: She was a mistress of discretion and mature enough to keep Gareth informed.

Cy: Ar y llaw arall, roedd Eira, newydd gyrraedd ar y bae, yn llawn bywyd a brwdfrydedd.
En: On the other hand, Eira, newly arrived at the bae, was full of life and enthusiasm.

Cy: Er ei bod yn newydd, roedd ganddi ddealltwriaeth dwfn o offer. Roedd hi'n gyson yn cyfrannu ysbrydoledd at bawb o'i cwmpas.
En: Despite being new, she had a deep understanding of equipment and consistently contributed inspiration to everyone around her.

Cy: Ond neidiodd calonnau Gareth a'i dîm pan sylweddolwyd bod nam mawr ar y cyfarpar.
En: But Gareth's and his team's hearts leaped when it was realized there was a major fault with the equipment.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn amlwg er bod gweithlu byr, ac roeddent i gyd yn gwybod pa mor hanfodol oedd cael y ceganiad ar sail ddiffwdan.
En: This was evident despite a short workforce, and they all knew how crucial it was to get the fix on a solid footing.

Cy: Roedd pawb isel, ac roedd misoedd o waith caled ar fin cael ei ddinistrio gan y broblem hon.
En: Everyone was downcast, and months of hard work were about to be destroyed by this problem.

Cy: "Beth wnawn ni, Gareth?" gofynnodd Eira, ei llygaid yn llawn bryder.
En: "What shall we do, Gareth?" asked Eira, her eyes full of worry.

Cy: Roedd Gareth yn wynebu dilema, ac roedd angen iddo wneud penderfyniad sydyn.
En: Gareth faced a dilemma, and he needed to make a quick decision.

Cy: Gofyn am gymorth ychwanegol fyddai'n dangos diffyg hunan-ddibyniaeth, a gallai beryglu'r dyrchafiad roedd yn ei ddymuno gymaint.
En: Asking for additional help would indicate a lack of self-reliance and could jeopardize the promotion he so desired.

Cy: Ond yna, cafodd syniad.
En: But then, he had an idea.

Cy: Yn ystod y nos, tua'r un pryd a'r sêr Nadoligaidd a fyddai'n goleuo'r ffordd, gwnaethon nhw feddwl yn greadigol.
En: During the night, around the same time as the Christmas stars that would light the way, they thought creatively.

Cy: Cenhadaeth oedd eu herwydd, ac ymunodd Rhiannon, gyda chwiwlydwch chwilfrydig Eira, i ddatrys y broblem anghyffredin.
En: It was their mission, and Rhiannon joined, with Eira's curious spiritedness, to solve the unusual problem.

Cy: Drannoeth, fe wnaethon nhw gyflwyno'r adnodd adferol ac amgen i'r uwch swyddogion yn rheolaidd.
En: The next day, they presented the restorative and alternative resource to the senior officers as scheduled.

Cy: Roedd archwiliad yr offer yn llwyddiant ysgubol.
En: The equipment inspection was a resounding success.

Cy: Er na wnaeth Gareth dderbyn dyrchafiad uniongyrchol, fe wnaeth ei feddwl cyflym a'i benderfyniad tîm syfrdanol argraff ar ei uwch swyddogion.
En: Although Gareth did not receive a direct promotion, his quick thinking and his team's astounding decision made a strong impression on his senior officers.

Cy: Dysgodd Gareth y wers am allu cydweithio a sylweddoli bod gofyn am gymorth weithiau'n arwydd o hyder ac nid methiant.
En: Gareth learned the lesson about the ability to collaborate and realized that asking for help is sometimes a sign of confidence and not failure.

Cy: Roedd y Nadolig hwn wedi dod â champ newydd i'r bae a gadawodd bawb yn cynhesu tu mewn, er gwaetha'r oerfel y tu allan.
En: This Christmas had brought a new achievement to the bae and left everyone warmed inside, despite the cold outside.

Cy: Ar derfyn y dydd, roedd eu tynged, nid yn unig wedi'i selio gyda llwyddiant, ond hefyd wedi ei hadnewyddu gyda'r syniad bod teamwork yn siwt gorau un o gemau bywyd.
En: At the end of the day, their fate was not only sealed with success but also renewed with the idea that teamwork is indeed one of life's best games.

Cy: wythnos nesaf, dechreuodd Gareth ar y llwybr i ddychwelyd i’r llinell fainc gyda llawer mwy o fewnwelediad na'i tanfod cyn y gwyliau.
En: The following week, Gareth began his path back to the bench line with much more insight than he had before the holidays.
