En: On a clear autumn morning, the fresh mountain air filled the sky as Carys, Eira, and Rhys walked to the farmers' market up to Llyn y Fan Fach. Cy: Roedd y llyn yn disgleirio'n dawel yn y golau bore, a'r awyr las oedd y cefndir perffaith i'r marchnad sy'n llawn bywyd. En: The lake glittered quietly in the morning light, and the blue sky was the perfect backdrop for the bustling market. Cy: Roedd stondinau lliwgar llenwi'r llwybrau, pob un yn gorlifo ag offer, cynnyrch gardd, a chrefftau lleol. En: Colorful stalls filled the paths, each overflowing with tools, garden produce, and local crafts. Cy: Dyma ymweliad cyntaf Carys â’r farchnad hon. En: This was Carys's first visit to this market. Cy: Roedd hi'n chwilio am grefft Gymreig go iawn a fyddai'n cysylltu hi â'i gwreiddiau. En: She was searching for a genuine Welsh craft that would connect her to her roots. Cy: Roedd siarad yn gymysg o gwmpas hi, pobl yn cyfarch ei gilydd â "Shwmae! En: The chatter around her was a mix of people greeting each other with "Shwmae!" Cy: " a "Bore da! En: and "Bore da!" Cy: " Roedd Eira wrth ymyl hi, yn fwy meddyliol, yn tywys ei ffordd trwy'r torfeydd. En: Eira was beside her, more contemplative, guiding her way through the crowds. Cy: Roedd Rhys, yn berson hyddysg a brwdfrydig, wrth eu hochr, yn nodi rhai o'r traddodiadau lleol i'r ddwy ohonyn nhw. En: Rhys, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic person, was by their side, pointing out some of the local traditions to both of them. Cy: Roedd yn hawdd i Carys deimlo'n llethol. En: It was easy for Carys to feel overwhelmed. Cy: Stondinau pob man – pob un yn cynnig rhywbeth unigryw. En: Stalls were everywhere – each offering something unique. Cy: Roedd ganddi ddim ond ysbaid i benderfynu ar ei hoff ddewisiadau. En: She had only a moment to decide on her favorite choices. Cy: "Beth bynnag rwyt am brynu, wyt ti angen teimlo'r cysylltiad," dywedodd Rhys, yn pwysleisio pwysigrwydd dewisyn da. En: "Whatever you buy, you need to feel the connection," said Rhys, emphasizing the importance of a good choice. Cy: Wrth i'r bore esblygu, pennodyn oedd Carys yn teimlo cysylltiad arbennig gyda stondin Rhys. En: As the morning unfolded, Carys felt a special connection with Rhys's stall. Cy: Roedd ei waith yn rhagorol – pibau lliw llewyrch, tlysau wedi'u cerfio â llaw, a llwydni unigryw. En: His work was exceptional – vibrant colored pipes, hand-carved jewelry, and unique molds. Cy: Ond, roedd pris y darn oedd yn ei tynnu ati y tu hwnt i'w chyllideb. En: But, the price of the piece that drew her in was beyond her budget. Cy: Roedd gan groeso Rhys garedig, a’i wybodaeth am y traddodiadau a'r hên chwedlau Gymreig canmoliaethus. En: Rhys had a kind welcome, and his knowledge about Welsh traditions and old legends was commendable. Cy: Stododd Carys i feddwl, troi'n galed rhwng rhesymeg a chalon. En: Carys paused to think, torn between logic and heart. Cy: Ond roedd rhywbeth ynghylch y darn hwnnw – y llinellau swynol, y darnia teimladwy – oedd mor siaradus. En: But there was something about that piece – the enchanting lines, the tangible fragmentation – that was so expressive. Cy: Fe'i hatgoffodd o'i mam-gu, ac o'r storïau y byddai hi’n ei adrodd wrth ei hochr wrth lleolau cyfagos. En: It reminded her of her grandmother, and the stories she would tell her by her side near neighboring places. Cy: Fe ddaeth penderfyniad olaf Carys. En: Carys made her final decision. Cy: "Fe wnaf ei brynu," meddai'n benderfynol. En: "I will buy it," she said resolutely. Cy: Gofynnodd Rhys, “Wyt ti’n siŵr? En: Rhys asked, "Are you sure?" Cy: ” Roedd y stori tu ôl i bob peth redeg trwy ei gof. En: The story behind each item ran through her mind. Cy: “Ydw,” atebodd hi, “Mae wedi'i wneud â'r cariad arfer Gymreig, ac rwy'n ei werthfawrogi'n fwy na'r geiriau. En: "Yes," she replied, "It's made with traditional Welsh love, and I appreciate it more than words." Cy: ”Gydag hynny, roedd Carys yn teimlo newid mewnol. En: With that, Carys felt an internal shift. Cy: Ei dewis oedd wedi'i seilio ar deimlad a sylweddolodd y cysylltiad rhwng ei gwerth a'r crefftwaith a gymer ella i'w fryd. En: Her decision was based on feeling, and she realized the connection between its value and the craftsmanship that might take her fancy. Cy: Roedd y darn yn fwy nag effaith o rinwedd. En: The piece was more than an object of virtue. Cy: Roedd yn symbol o etifeddiaeth a chymuned, ac roedd Carys nawr yn fwy hyderus nag erioed yn ei galluoedd i adnabod a gwerthfawrogi crefft Gymreig go iawn. En: It was a symbol of heritage and community, and Carys was now more confident than ever in her ability to recognize and appreciate genuine Welsh craft. Cy: Tra i'r diwrnod faintio i mewn i'r prynhawn, roedd Carys, Eira, a Rhys yn agos at adref. En: As the day faded into the afternoon, Carys, Eira, and Rhys were close to home. Cy: Roedd y trefniadau hawdd a’r golygfeydd llonydd o’r marchnad wedi’u haros mewn cof Carys, ac roedd y darn arbennig yn edrych yn llachar yn golau’r haul olaf, adlewyrchu’r cysylltiad a wnaeth hi a’r gymuned o’i hamgylch. En: The easy arrangements and the tranquil scenes of the market remained in Carys's mind, and the special piece shone brightly in the last sunlight, reflecting the connection she made with the community around her. Cy: Roedd y cysylltiad rhwng Carys a Llyn y Fan Fach wedi'i osod. En: The bond between Carys and Llyn y Fan Fach had been established.

  Fluent Fiction - Welsh : Unearthing Secrets: A Transformative Journey at Brecon Beacons Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-09-15-07-38-20-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Roedd Gareth yn sefyll yn ymyl carreg fawr yn y Brecon Beacons. En: Gareth was standing next to a large stone in the Brecon Beacons. Cy: Roedd yr awyrgylch yn llawn arogl dail sychion, a'r gwynt yn symud trwy'r coed fel cân hud. En: The atmosphere was filled with the scent of dry leaves, and the wind moved through the trees like a magical song. Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd yn eu harddwch yn ymestyn dros y moelni, a rhoddai'r darlun ysblennydd gyfle i Gareth ddangos wrth ei fyfyrwyr harddwch hanes Cymru. En: The mountains, in their beauty, stretched across the barren land, and the splendid picture provided Gareth the opportunity to show his students the beauty of Wales's history. Cy: "Mae yna lawer i'w ddysgu yma," meddai Gareth yn frwdfrydig wrth y grŵp bach o blant. En: "There's a lot to learn here," said Gareth enthusiastically to the small group of children. Cy: Crëodd hanes ei famgu, a llawer o hanesion eraill, ddelwedd yn ei feddwl. En: His grandmother's history, along with many other tales, painted an image in his mind. Cy: "Dyma le lle roedd sawl digwyddiad hynod wedi digwydd. En: "This is a place where many remarkable events have happened." Cy: "Ond roedd Eira, oedd yn edrych yn ddiog ac yn syllu ar ei ffon drwy'r amser, yn anwybyddu'i ymroddiad. En: But Eira, who looked bored and was staring at her phone all the time, ignored his dedication. Cy: Roedd golwg o ddiflastod ar ei hwyneb, a ni chafodd Gareth ond ysgafn siom ohoni. En: There was an expression of boredom on her face, and Gareth felt only mild disappointment in her. Cy: Roedd am iddi deimlo nerth hanes. En: He wanted her to feel the power of history. Cy: Roedd rhywbeth yn y Beacons yma a allai newid ei barn, os byddai'n gwrando. En: There was something in these Beacons that could change her mind, if she listened. Cy: Wrth i'r niwl trwchus ymgasglu dros y tir, roedd llawer o'r myfyrwyr yn dechrau teimlo yn nerfus. En: As the thick mist gathered over the land, many of the students began to feel nervous. Cy: Penderfynodd Gareth gymryd grŵp bach, sy'n cynnwys Eira, i gadnoddau cuddiedig ar y safle. En: Gareth decided to take a small group, including Eira, to hidden hollows on the site. Cy: Roedd yn bwriadu rhannu stori arbennig am gysylltiad personol ag un o'r hanesion hynaf. En: He intended to share a special story about a personal connection to one of the oldest tales. Cy: "Dewch, mae'n rhaid i chi weld hwn," aeth ymlaen, gan annog Eira i sefyll wrth ei ochr. En: "Come on, you have to see this," he went on, encouraging Eira to stand by his side. Cy: Gyda phob cam, roedd mwy i'w ddarganfod. En: With every step, there was more to discover. Cy: O dan glymu cwrlid o blanhigion y gellid gweld clwydi hen eu dydd, weddillion cartrefi ei hynafiaid. En: Under a carpet of plants, one could see relics of old gates and the remnants of his ancestors' homes. Cy: Roedd Gareth wedi dysgu o dair siwrnai ac mae effaith ei eiriau yn gallu bod yn gryf iawn. En: Gareth had learned from three trips, and the impact of his words could be very powerful. Cy: Ond roedd rhaid iddo wneud Eira deall. En: But he needed to make Eira understand. Cy: "Yma," dechreuodd Gareth a hisian yn rhyfedd i'r niwl. En: "Here," began Gareth, whispering strangely to the mist. Cy: "Dyma lle lleiafrifol deulu fi oedd yn byw, mewn amser anodd iawn. En: "This is where a minority of my family lived, in very challenging times. Cy: Dyfroedd hanes nawr yn cyrraedd goresgynnol yr enillion. En: The waters of history now reach the brink of conquest." Cy: "Ar yr union eiliad honno, gwelodd Eira rywbeth disglair. En: At that very moment, Eira saw something shiny. Cy: Roedd hi'n pigo i'r ddaear a chodi artifact bychan, oedd yn edrych fel cerfiad gyda delweddau byd sinistr. En: She bent to the ground and picked up a small artifact, which looked like a carving with sinister world images. Cy: "Beth yw hyn? En: "What is this?" Cy: " gofynnodd hi, llygaid yn llesg o chwilfrydedd. En: she asked, eyes wide with curiosity. Cy: Edrychodd Gareth arno’n ofalus, ac mewn saib o amser, deallodd ei arwyddocâd. En: Gareth looked at it carefully, and in a moment of pause, he understood its significance. Cy: Roeddent wedi darganfod darn o hanes. En: They had discovered a piece of history. Cy: "Mae'n bosibl bod hwn yn berthynas i'r amser a fu," esboniodd, teimlad o balchder yn ei lais. En: "It's possible this relates to a time that once was," he explained, a feeling of pride in his voice. Cy: Yn y funud fe addawsant dau. En: In that moment, they both made a promise. Cy: Yn fuan roeddent yn ymuno gyda'i gilydd i ddwyn goleuni ar yr hyn a oedd ganddynt yn eu dwylo, gan ddod yn gysylltiad agos rhwng y gorffennol a'r presennol. En: Soon, they joined together to shed light on what they held in their hands, forming a close connection between the past and the present. Cy: Pan ddychwelodd y grŵp yn ôl i'r dosbarth, roedd Eira yn awyddus i rannu ei phrofiad. En: When the group returned to the classroom, Eira was eager to share her experience. Cy: Dechreuodd weld hanes yn wahanol, ac roedd Gareth yn gwybod iddi ddechrau gwerthfawrogi'r angerdd yr oedd ef yn ceisio ei gyfleu. En: She began to see history differently, and Gareth knew she had started to appreciate the passion he was trying to convey. Cy: Yn y diwedd, roedd y trîp i'r Brecon Beacons nid yn unig am ddysgu am hanes ond hefyd am gysylltu gydag ef. En: In the end, the trip to the Brecon Beacons was not only about learning history but also about connecting with it. Cy: Roedd Gareth ac Eira wedi dod o hyd i ddod dros eu hunain, a hynny drwy gariad i'r hanes a chofathu. En: Gareth and Eira had found a way to transcend their own boundaries, doing so through a love of history and remembrance. Cy: Roedd trasiedi ac ysbrydoliaeth wedi creu cwlwm cryf rhyngddynt. En: Tragedy and inspiration had created a strong bond between them. Vocabulary Words: atmosphere: awyrgylch scent: arogl magical: hud barren: moelni splendid: ysblennydd enthusiastically: frwdfrydig tales: hanesion remarkable: hynod bored: diog dedication: ymroddiad mild: ysgafn disappointment: siom thick: trwchus mist: niwl nervous: nervous hidden: cuddiedig hollows: cadnoddau whispering: hisian challenging: anodd brink: goresgynnol shiny: disglair artifact: artifact carving: cerfiad sinister: sinistr curiosity: chwilfrydedd remnants: weddillion relics: clwydi transcend: dweud dros tragedy: trasiedi inspiration: ysbrydoliaeth

En: In the middle of a hot late summer afternoon, the Capitol building stands proud under the blazing sun of Washington, D.C. Cy: Mae ei bileri marmor gwyn yn disgleirio, yn dal grym democratiaeth mewn ffordd syfrdanol. En: Its white marble pillars gleam, holding the power of democracy in a stunning way. Cy: Dyma ble mae Rhys, dyn o Gymru gyda chalon danllyd tuag at warchod yr amgylchedd, yn cerdded yn gyffrous ond yn bryderus. En: This is where Rhys, a man from Wales with a fiery heart for protecting the environment, walks excitedly but nervously. Cy: Mae Rhys wedi cyrraedd America gyda phwrpas: i atal bil sy'n bygwth natur. En: Rhys has arrived in America with a purpose: to stop a bill that threatens nature. Cy: Ar hyd y stepen y Capitol, mae'r Senedd yn cwrdd, a’r cyfryngau yn brysur yn tynnu lluniau. En: On the steps of the Capitol, the Senate meets, and the media is busy taking pictures. Cy: Mae Rhys wedi’i frwydro trwy gyfarfodydd difrifol a gwrthwynebiad caled. En: Rhys has battled through intense meetings and tough opposition. Cy: Ond y prynhawn hwn, mae amser yn brin.

Cy: Tra’n sefyll gyda’i ffrindiau Carys a Gareth, mae Rhys yn gwneud penderfyniad dewr. En: While standing with his friends Carys and Gareth, Rhys makes a brave decision. Cy: Dywedodd, "Mae’n rhaid i ni siarad â phobl. Gydag angerdd y Celtaidd, cawn eu clywed!" En: He said, "We have to speak to the people. With Celtic passion, we will be heard!" Cy: Mae ei galon yn curo’n gyflym wrth iddo gamu i fyny’r grisiau, ac mae’r cyfryngau yn tynnu at ei bresenoldeb. En: His heart races as he steps up the stairs, and the media gravitates towards his presence. Cy: "Fy nghyd-ddinasyddion," meddai Rhys mewn llais cryf ond cyffrous, "Rwy'n dod â neges o Gymru. En: "My fellow citizens," says Rhys in a strong but excited voice, "I bring a message from Wales. Cy: Ein tir, ein byd sydd yn y fantol. En: Our land, our world is at stake. Cy: Bydd y bil hwn yn difrodi ein amgylchedd. En: This bill will damage our environment. Cy: Mae’n rhaid i ni gweithredu!" Mae ei eiriau yn denu cynulleidfa. En: We must act!" His words draw an audience. Cy: Mae ei ymadroddion syml a gwirioneddol yn cyrraedd calonnau'r gwrandawyr. En: His simple and truthful expressions reach the hearts of the listeners. Cy: Sylweddu ar rym siarad cyhoeddus, mae'r camerâu yn dechrau fflachiadau, ac mae'r seneddwyr yn dechrau sibrwd. En: Realizing the power of public speech, the cameras start flashing, and the senators begin to whisper. Cy: Mae'n ymddangos bod y cyfryngau'n gwyro atoch, wrth i'r cefnogaeth gudd gan y cyhoedd gynyddu. En: It appears that the media is swaying towards him, as hidden public support increases. Cy: Y bore canlynol, mae’r stori ar flaen tudalennau'r papurau newydd, ac mae Rhys yn teimlo bod y gwynt wrth ei gefn am y tro cyntaf. En: The following morning, the story is on the front pages of the newspapers, and Rhys feels the wind at his back for the first time. Cy: Mae'r bleidlais wedi cael ei ohirio, gan ganiatáu trafodaeth bellach. En: The vote has been postponed, allowing for further discussion. Cy: Rhys yn gwybod bod y frwydr ond yn dechrau, ond mae eisoes wedi llwyddo i wneud gwahaniaeth. En: Rhys knows the battle is just beginning, but he has already succeeded in making a difference. Cy: Ar y darnau marmor anhyblyg o flaen y Capitol, mae Rhys yn teimlo pwer newydd yng nghanol y sesnin haf poeth hwnnw. En: On the unyielding marble steps in front of the Capitol, Rhys feels a new power in the midst of that hot summer session. Cy: Mae’n sylweddoli bod ganddo’r gallu i ddylanwadu'n bellach na thir ei wlad enedigol. En: He realizes he has the ability to influence beyond the land of his birth. Cy: Mae Carys a Gareth yn cerdded at ei ymyl, a Carys yn bwrw ei law ar ei ysgwydd. En: Carys and Gareth walk up to his side, and Carys places her hand on his shoulder. Cy: "Da iawn, Rhys," meddai gyda gwen. En: "Well done, Rhys," she says with a smile. Cy: Mae Rhys yn cytuno'n dawel, yn llawn gobaith a brwdfrydedd.

  Fluent Fiction - Welsh : Autumn Inspirations: Reconnecting Roots in Bae Caerdydd Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-09-13-07-38-19-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Mae'r awyrgylch yn heintus yn Bae Caerdydd. En: The atmosphere is infectious in Bae Caerdydd. Cy: Mae'r sawl sy'n cerdded trwy'r farchnad benwythnos yn cael ei swyno gan ddisgleirdeb lliwiau a synau. En: Those who walk through the weekend market are enchanted by the brilliance of colors and sounds. Cy: Mae'r hafan wedi'i drosi'n oriel awyr agored, lle mae'n ymddangos fod pob stôl yn amgylchynu â chrefftau a chelf leol. En: The haven has been transformed into an open-air gallery, where every stall seems surrounded by local crafts and art. Cy: Clywir y swnllyd papur syn cymysgu â sïon pobl yn crwydro o gwmpas. En: The rustle of paper blends with the chatter of people wandering around. Cy: Yn nhoriad oer yr hydref, mae dail cochion a melyn yn dawnsio yn y gwynt ysgafn. En: In the chilly bite of autumn, red and yellow leaves dance in the gentle breeze. Cy: Wrth droeon, dyma lle mae Eira yn synhwyro felly. En: At times, this is where Eira finds herself so. Cy: Mae hi, yn ddisglair o'i sylfaen fel dylunydd graffigol, wedi dychwelyd i Gymru ar ôl blynyddoedd yn teithio byd-eang. En: She, bright from her foundation as a graphic designer, has returned to Cymru after years of traveling worldwide. Cy: Mae ei dymuniad i gysylltu â'i threftadaeth Gymreig yn cryfhau wrth iddi bori trwy'r cerrig cerfiedig a'r lluniau haniaethol. En: Her desire to connect with her Welsh heritage grows stronger as she browses through carved stones and abstract pictures. Cy: Ar y ffordd arall mae Gethin. En: On the opposite path is Gethin. Cy: Mae ei frychau'n cael ei golli yn llenwi mathau am ble mae'n siwr y dylai sgrifennu awdur ei albwm newydd. En: His thoughts are lost in contemplating where he should write the new album's lyrics. Cy: Er ei charisma ac efel dathlu, mae teimlad o anffurfiad yn codi yn ddwfn ynddo. En: Despite his charisma and celebratory presence, a feeling of strangeness rises deep within him. Cy: Mae hiraeth am ysbrydoliaeth iachusus yn ei gyrru i archwilio’i gwreiddiau. En: A longing for healthy inspiration drives him to explore his roots. Cy: Mae'r ddau'n cael ei atynnu at sefyllfa gyfarfyddiadol: stôl storïwr sy'n gwerthu byddin o lyfrau ac esiamplau o chwedlau Cymraeg. En: Both are drawn to an encounter: a storyteller's stall selling books and examples of Welsh tales. Cy: Mae'r delweddau yn siarad â'r gynulleidfa mewn iaith ddistaw, ond pwerus. En: The images speak to the audience in a quiet, yet powerful, language. Cy: Wrth iddynt ymdrochi mewn fflachiadau'r gorffennol: Dewi Sant, y naid ysbrydol â'r Ddraig Goch, mae rhywbeth yn cynnilo yn eu meddyliadau nhw. En: As they immerse themselves in flashes of the past: Dewi Sant, the spiritual leap with the Ddraig Goch, something stirs subtly in their minds. Cy: Cyn bo hir, mae eu cyrff gerhofi'n rheondal at ei gilydd. En: Before long, their bodies gravitate invisibly towards one another. Cy: "Eira yw fy enw i," nododd hi'n dawel yn ei llais meddal. En: "Eira is my name," she noted softly in her gentle voice. Cy: "Gethin," ymatebodd ef gydag ychwanegiad bach o gydymdeimlad. En: "Gethin," he responded with a hint of empathy. Cy: Wrth sgwrsio, maent yn sylwi ar ddiddordeb cyffredin mewn chwedlau. En: As they converse, they notice a common interest in legends. Cy: Mae Eira yn egluro sut mae hi'n gobeithio defnyddio ei thraddodiad i gyfalaf yn y celfi maent yn cynorthwyo i'w greu. En: Eira explains how she hopes to use her tradition to capitalize in the crafts they help create. Cy: "Rydyn ni'n ddechrau newydd. En: "We are a new beginning. Cy: Yn gymysg rhwng ysgogiad a'r awen," mae'n cynnig Gethin, yn eistedd i ddechrau ar gynllun newydd. En: A blend of motivation and inspiration," offers Gethin, sitting down to start on a new plan. Cy: Mae'r prisclad yn eu calonnau yn lleddfu wrth iddynt newid eu hanes a theuluoedd i goproject a fydd yn cychwyn ymwybyddiaeth newydd. En: The burden in their hearts eases as they share their histories and families into a project that will spark new awareness. Cy: Wrth i adlewyrchiad y dŵr ym Mwy Caerdydd bywiogi wrth iddi fwrw i'r prynhawn, mae Eira'n teimlo bod ei phenderfyniad i ddychwelyd yn addas. En: As the reflection of the water in Bae Caerdydd brightens into the afternoon, Eira feels her decision to return was fitting. Cy: Mae Gethin, bellach dan arweiniad gwynt iachus, yn ymlwybro i guddio'r gwacter ieithyddol a llenwi cerdd yn ei galon. En: Gethin, now guided by a healing breeze, strides to hide the linguistic void and fill poetry in his heart.

En: As the sun began to set, the echo of a wave's sigh was heard on the empty sand. Cy: Gwelai Geraint y pentref môr hen, yn oneco, dros ben llestri gan amser. En: Geraint saw the old seaside village, echoing, overwhelmed by time. Cy: Roedd y tai cerrig wedi pydru a'r gerddi'n llawn mieri gwyllt. En: The stone houses had decayed, and the gardens were full of wild brambles. Cy: Mae dail yr hydref ar ben y palmant fel cluddfeddi rhyw hanes coll. En: The autumn leaves lay on the pavement like the grave markers of some lost history. Cy: Roedd Geraint, dyn ifanc penderfynol, yn sefyll yn y pentref dirgel gyda'i gefnder, Rhiannon, yr un mor benderfynol. En: Geraint, a determined young man, stood in the mysterious village with his cousin, Rhiannon, equally determined. Cy: Mae'r ddau yn sefyll yn eu mynwesau wrth ymyl hen dy eu teulu. En: The two stood quietly with their hearts by their family's old house. Cy: Roedd y lle yn wisgo safn amser, gyda muriau wynebog a tho euraid gan ranau eginyn. En: The place wore the jaws of time, with weathered walls and a roof adorned with tendrils. Cy: Roedd Geraint ar daith i ddod o hyd i drisfeddian y teulu—aeth ar goll ganrifoedd yn ôl—i ddeall eu gorffennol a chyfleu hynny ymlaen i'r dyfodol. En: Geraint was on a journey to find the family's treasure—lost centuries ago—to understand their past and convey it to the future. Cy: "Geraint, gallaf deimlo nerth yr awyr yma," meddai Rhiannon, ei llais yn cyffroi gydag awch dros yr hyn oedd yn dod. En: "Geraint, I can feel the strength of the air here," said Rhiannon, her voice excited with anticipation for what was to come. Cy: Roedd gwynt oer y môr yn lapio'n cariadus o'u cwmpas, ond ni allant adael iddo eu hatal. En: The cold sea breeze lovingly wrapped around them, but they could not let it hold them back. Cy: Roedd Geraint yn ei hanfod yn llawn amheuon. En: Geraint was inherently full of doubts. Cy: A oedd y trysor gwirioneddol yn bodoli? En: Did the real treasure exist? Cy: Os do, ble? En: If so, where? Cy: Roedd y pentref yn ymestyn o'u blaenau fel pen tân, pob tŷ a phob porth yn gyrfai enfawr i'w taflu. En: The village stretched out before them like a maze, each house and each gate a challenge to throw. Cy: Serch hynny, penderfynodd i wynebu ei ofnau. En: Nevertheless, he decided to face his fears. Cy: Gan ddefnyddio torch a ffagl ei iwn, aeth Geraint i mewn i'r hen dŷ. En: Using a flashlight and his own torch, Geraint went into the old house. Cy: Roedd cymylau llwch yn dawnsio fel rhywogaeth ryfedd o flaen ei wyneb. En: Clouds of dust danced like a strange species before his face. Cy: Bu Rhiannon yn ei phen boch yn gefnogaeth dawel. En: Rhiannon was a quiet support nearby. Cy: Roedd y ffenestri wedi'u torri, a'r pren wedi pydru, gan wneud pob cam yn nyfais. En: The windows were broken, and the wood had rotted, making every step treacherous. Cy: Yn sydyn, y tu ôl i ddalfaid canolog yr ystafell, gwelodd rhywbeth anarferol. En: Suddenly, behind the central mantelpiece of the room, he saw something unusual. Cy: Roedd y lloriau pren yn dal neu'r peth hynod o'i ôl. En: The wooden floors were holding something peculiar beneath. Cy: Geraint cwtogodd a nofelodd droi bwydl bychan. En: Geraint crouched and managed to pry open a small panel. Cy: Roedd câs cudd wedi'i selio. En: There was a sealed hidden case. Cy: Roedd ei galon yn cymhennu'n gyflym wrth agor y drws dirgel. En: His heart raced as he opened the secret door. Cy: Yno roedd yr heirloom, yn ddisglair ac yn ergyd o brofi gydag aur. En: There lay the heirloom, gleaming and striking in its gold. Cy: Daliodd Geraint y trysor yn ei ddwylo, ei galon yn llawn balchder a diogelwch. En: Geraint held the treasure in his hands, his heart full of pride and security. Cy: Roedd ganddo gysyniad newydd o ei wreiddiau, yn stiward ar hanes y teulu. En: He had a new understanding of his roots, as a steward of the family history. Cy: Cymerodd eiliad o fuddiant i ymhyddoli bod wnaeth symud trwy amseroedd du iawn i dorri'r gorffennol â'r presennol. En: He took a moment of silent reflection, realizing he had traversed through dark times to connect the past with the present. Cy: Aethant o'r tŷ gyda'r trysor yn ddiogel yn eu clustiau. En: They left the house with the treasure safely in their possession. Cy: Roedd Geraint yn teimlo goleuni newydd, heb ei orlymu gan ofn colli ei dreftadaeth. En: Geraint felt a new lightness, not burdened by the fear of losing his heritage. Cy: Fe wyrodd y heulwen lawr dros y pentref, fel gwen ddiogelwch. En: The sunlight beamed down over the village, like a smile of security. Cy: Roedd hi'n amser iddynt fynd adref, wrth i’r tonnau bylu a gadael eu nodweddion yng nghoed y pentref. En: It was time for them to go home, as the waves faded and left their impressions in the village trees. Cy: Gyda hynny, newidiodd Geraint, yn berson mwy hyderus a di-ben draw—a'i daith cysefin tuag at wirionedd eu teulu yn un o'r hanesion sy'n rhoi hedd. En: With that, Geraint transformed, becoming a more confident and complete person—and his original journey towards the truth of their family became one of the stories that brings peace.
