Story Transcript:

Cy: Wrth i'r haul ddechrau machlud, roedd adlais cliwad don ar y tywod gwag.
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.
