Mae popeth yn dod yn fyw eto.En: Everything comes alive again.Cy: Fe ddechreuodd y stori pan oeddwn i yn eistedd yn fy nosbarth yn edrych allan o'r ffenestr.En: The story began when I was sitting in my classroom, looking out of the window.Cy: Roedd y diwrnod mawr yn agos, y trip ysgol i Barc Cenedlaethol Eryri.En: The big day was near, the school trip to Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri.Cy: Roedd y disgyblion yn ymgyfnewid yn gyffrous wrth siarad am y daith, ac roeddwn i, Carys, yn Methiant Ysgol Uwchradd Trefforest, yn ddiamynedd i ddechrau fy nghynllun gyda fy ffotograffau.En: The students were exchanging excitedly while talking about the trip, and I, Carys, at Methiant Ysgol Uwchradd Trefforest, was impatient to start my project with my photographs.Cy: Fy ffrind gorau, Rhys, oedd eisoes yn breuddwydio am y trip, yn siarad am adar prin a siâp y mynyddoedd.En: My best friend, Rhys, was already dreaming about the trip, talking about rare birds and the shape of the mountains.Cy: Roedd bob amser yn hwyliog i mi, yn helpu i symud fy mhopeth ymlaen.En: He was always a joy to me, helping to move everything forward.Cy: Roedd y camera yn fy mag, y cyfle i ennill y gystadleuaeth ysgoloriaeth o fewn fy nghyrraedd.En: The camera was in my bag, the opportunity to win the scholarship competition within my reach.Cy: Gyda'r bws ysgol llawn, fe aethom ar ein ffordd.En: With the school bus full, we went on our way.Cy: Roedd Gethin, boblog iawn ond yn aml yn chwilio'n dawel am ddilysiad, yn gwneud siŵr i bawb wybod bod ganddo gynllun arbennig.En: Gethin, very popular but often quietly seeking validation, made sure everyone knew he had a special plan.Cy: Roedd yn benderfynol o ddangos ei sgiliau trwy fynd ar lwybr gwahanol.En: He was determined to show his skills by taking a different path.Cy: "Dewch gyda fi!En: "Come with me!"Cy: " meddai, yn gyflym a thywys ni i lawr llwybr llai troddedig.En: he said, quickly leading us down a less-trodden path.Cy: Roedd yn amlwg nad oedd Gethin mor brofiadol ag yr oedd yn meddwl.En: It was clear that Gethin wasn't as experienced as he thought.Cy: Fe aethon ni'n bellach i ffwrdd o'r llwybr.En: We went further away from the trail.Cy: Roedd y pryder yn dechrau esgyn yn fy mhen.En: The anxiety began to rise in my head.Cy: Roedd hi'n gynnar yn y dyddiadur ond roedd yr heliwr amser yn ôl y cychwyn.En: It was early in the planner, but the time hunter was behind the starting line.Cy: Roedd hi'n amser gwneud penderfyniad.En: It was time to make a decision.Cy: Os gadawais i fynd ar ôl Gethin, allwn ni golli'r haul, a fyddai'r holl deithio yn ofer.En: If I left to follow Gethin, we could lose the sun, and all the traveling would be in vain.Cy: "Rydyn ni'n mynd yn y cyfeiriad anghywir," dywedais yn dawel ond yn gryf.En: "We're going in the wrong direction," I said quietly but firmly.Cy: Roedd Rhys wrth fy ochr yn ymddiried ynof.En: Rhys trusted me by my side.Cy: Roeddwn i'n gwybod rhaid i mi sefyll ar fy nhraed fy hun.En: I knew I had to stand on my own feet.Cy: Dyma ni'n dychwelyd ar lwybr arall ar gais Rhys a minnau, hyd nes rydym yn dod i ganol dyffryn.En: We returned on another path at the request of Rhys and me, until we came to the middle of a valley.Cy: Ar y fan honno, cafodd y golygfa fy ngafael.En: At that spot, the view captured me.Cy: Roedd yr haul ganolig yn llithro o dan y gorwel, yn paentio'r wlad gyda lliwiau aur a chopr.En: The mid-day sun was slipping under the horizon, painting the country with colors of gold and copper.Cy: Fe gymerais fy ffôn a dechrau tynnu'r lluniau, bob un fel pe bai'n aur.En: I took my phone and started taking pictures, each one as if it were gold.Cy: Roeddwn i'n teimlo cryfder o fewn fi, o fy ngweledigaeth fy hun.En: I felt a strength within me, from my own vision.Cy: Ni faddeuodd Gethin dim ond chwerthin ei fenthyciad am ein tywyllwch dros dro.En: Gethin did not apologize, just laughed off our temporary darkness.Cy: Pan oedd y nos yn cau, roedd gwendidau wedi'u golchi i ffwrdd, meddyliau'n gliriach o gywilydd.En: As the night closed in, weaknesses were washed away, thoughts clearer of shame.Cy: Rhoddodd Gethin glod am fy arweinyddiaeth, yn gwerthfawrogi'r ffordd roeddwn i wedi dal y golygfeydd.En: Gethin praised my leadership, appreciating the way I had captured the views.Cy: Roedd y profiad yn agor drws o gyd-ddealltwriaeth, yn glir bod y gallu i weithio gyda'n gilydd nid yn unig yn sefyll ar ei gelain.En: The experience opened a door of mutual understanding, clearly showing that the ability to work together stands on its own merits.Cy: Fe wnes i ddysgu rhywbeth pwysig y diwrnod hwnnw.En: I learned something important that day.Cy: Roedd yn bositif neu beidio, fy llais oedd y cryfaf o fewn fy nghalon.En: Whether positive or not, my voice was the strongest within my heart.Cy: Roedd y lluniau hynny ddim yn rhoi unrhyw wobr, unrhyw ysgoloriaeth, ond doedd ddim angen mwy arna’i - fi fy hun oedd yr unig un roedd angen i mi blesio.En: Those photographs didn't win any prize, any scholarship, but I didn't need more - I only needed to please myself.Cy: Roeddwn i, Carys, wedi dysgu bod fy llais yn bwysig.En: I, Carys, had learned that my voice is important.Cy: Roedd Eryri wedi rhoi'r gwir gartref i mi, ble mae'r haul yn rhoi'r gorau ar ddiwedd y diwrnod.En: Eryri had given me a true home, where the sun bids farewell at the end of the day.

testun yr arddangosfa ysgol yn swnio drwy'r adeilad, cyffro a phrysurdeb yn llenwi'r awyr.En: The school exhibition's theme echoes throughout the building, filling the air with excitement and bustle.Cy: Yn y prif neuadd, roedd Aeron yn sefyll gyda'i ffrind gorau, Rhys.En: In the main hall, Aeron stood with his best friend, Rhys.Cy: Roedd Aeron yn dal ei weithiau celf, lluniau a phaentiadau wedi eu tynnu o'i fryd, yn dynn yn ei ddwylo.En: Aeron was holding his art pieces, pictures and paintings drawn from his imagination, tightly in his hands.Cy: Roedd y darluniau'n llawn â lliwiau cyfoethog, yn adlewyrchu ei dalent unigryw.En: The images were full of rich colors, reflecting his unique talent.Cy: "Paid bod mor swil, Aeron," meddai Rhys, yn rhoi clap ysgafn ar ei ysgwydd.En: "Don't be so shy, Aeron," said Rhys, giving his shoulder a light pat.Cy: "Mae'n amser i bawb weld dy gampwaith.En: "It's time for everyone to see your masterpiece."Cy: "Ond roedd Aeron yn teimlo llond ei groen â nerfau.En: But Aeron felt full of nerves.Cy: Roedd yn ofni beirniadaeth, a bod pobl yn gweld dim ond diffygion.En: He feared criticism, and that people would see only flaws.Cy: Serch hynny, roedd Rhys yn ei annog ymhob cam, gan berswadio Aeron i arddangos ei waith yn y brif neuadd—lle gorau i bawb ei weld.En: Nevertheless, Rhys encouraged him every step of the way, persuading Aeron to display his work in the main hall—the best place for everyone to see it.Cy: Wrth iddynt glirio lle ar y bwrdd, daeth Carys i'r golwg.En: As they cleared space on the table, Carys appeared.Cy: Roedd Carys yn adnabyddus am ei sgiliau trefnu ac roedd yn arwain ystod o weithgareddau.En: Carys was known for her organizational skills and was leading a range of activities.Cy: Pan wnaeth Aeron fynd allan i ymgysylltu â hi ynghylch lle i arddangos ei waith, roedd ei galon yn curo fel drymiau.En: When Aeron approached her about where to display his work, his heart was pounding like drums.Cy: "Hei Aeron," meddai Carys gyda gwên gynnes.En: "Hey Aeron," said Carys with a warm smile.Cy: "Diolch am ddod â'th gelf i'r arddangosfa.En: "Thanks for bringing your art to the exhibition.Cy: Gad i ni weld.En: Let's see it."Cy: "Teimlai Aeron ei ddwylo'n chwysu, ond cafodd gwthiad tawel mewn hyder.En: Aeron felt his hands sweating but got a quiet boost of confidence.Cy: Rodd i Carys gymryd ei lluniau, ac edrych ohonynt'n ofalus.En: He let Carys take his pictures, and she looked at them carefully.Cy: Roedd tlysni ei gwaith yn taro'i drwy, a'i llygaid yn tywyllu mewn edmygedd gwirioneddol.En: The beauty of his work struck her, and her eyes darkened in genuine admiration.Cy: "Mae hwn yn rhyfeddol, Aeron," chwedlodd Carys, ei llais yn llawn ag efro.En: "This is amazing, Aeron," exclaimed Carys, her voice full of enthusiasm.Cy: "Mae'n rhaid i ni eu rhoi yma ar y blaen.En: "We must put them here at the front.Cy: Mae'r lliwiau'n ddigon i roi gwên ar wyneb unrhyw un.En: The colors are enough to put a smile on anyone's face."Cy: "Roedd y sylwadau hynny'n rhoi sbarc yn ei galon.En: Those comments sparked his heart.Cy: Dechreuodd sgwrs ddigynnwrf ymddangos rhwng y ddau, disgwyl twyllog ar wyneb Aeron wrth i'r tyndra paso.En: A calm conversation began to emerge between the two, with an unexpected smile on Aeron's face as the tension passed.Cy: Gwelodd Rhys, yn sefyll yn y cefndir, gwefr o lawenydd dros dosturi ei ffrind.En: Rhys, standing in the background, felt a thrill of joy at his friend's newfound confidence.Cy: Yn ystod y diwrnod, bu'r arddangosfa'n

thronged Aeron's work, talking impressedly about his skills.Cy: Ar ddiwedd y dydd, roedd Aeron yn teimlo'n falch.En: At the end of the day, Aeron felt proud.Cy: Roedd wedi gwneud cam enfawr, nid yn unig gyda'i gelf ond hefyd o ran gwneud cysylltiad newydd â Carys.En: He had taken a significant step, not only with his art but also in making a new connection with Carys.Cy: Nawr, roedd Aeron yn gwybod bod ei waith yn werth ei gyhoeddio.En: Now, Aeron knew that his work was worth sharing.Cy: Teimlodd fod y gefnogaeth gan Rhys ac edmygedd Carys wedi rhoi iddo hyder newydd sbon.En: He felt that

y ddaear.En: In the middle of spring, under greenish plants and new flowers on the mountain winds, a dark story was unfolding underground.Cy: Yn y cymoedd agos at y pwll glo segur, roedd dirgelwch yn symud gyda chyfres o ysgytiadau anghyffredin.En: In the valleys near the idle coal pit, a mystery was moving with a series of unusual tremors.Cy: Roedd Gethin, brwd hanesydd lleol, yn teimlo'r adrannau hanes heb eu darganfod yn galw ato.En: Gethin, an enthusiastic local historian, felt the undiscovered chapters of history calling to him.Cy: "Beth yw'r dirgelwch yma?En: "What is this mystery?"Cy: " meddai Gethin.En: said Gethin.Cy: "Mae angen i ni wybod.En: "We need to know."Cy: " Roedd ganddo ddamcaniaeth y gallai arteffactau cudd bodoli yn y dulliai islaw, ac efallai mai rhywbeth oedd yn achosi'r ysgytiadau.En: He had a theory that hidden artifacts might exist in the tunnels below, and perhaps something was causing the tremors.Cy: Gyda Rhian, daearegwr profiadol, a Tegan, newyddiadurwraig ddiddraig, fe ddechreuon nhw ymchwilio.En: With Rhian, an experienced geologist, and Tegan, a curious journalist, they began investigating.Cy: Rhian, â'i gwybodaeth fanwl o ddaeareg, oedd yn poeni am y posibilrwydd o dirlithriad peryglus.En: Rhian, with her detailed knowledge of geology, was worried about the possibility of a dangerous landslide.Cy: Ond roedd Tegan, yn anesmwyth am wirionedd dirgel a fyddai’n hwb mawr i'w gyrfa.En: But Tegan, anxious for a mysterious truth that would be a major boost to her career.Cy: Roedd gan bob un agenda eu hunain.En: Each had their own agenda.Cy: Panethodd yr haul trwy'r cwm, a Gethin oedd yn gyntaf i sylweddoli'r glud ar y muriau garw o wyneb carreg y pwll.En: The sun glinted through the valley, and Gethin was the first to notice the gleam on the rough walls of the pit's stone face.Cy: Roedd hynny'n dangos iddo fod tir tueddiadol o symud.En: It showed him that the ground was prone to movement.Cy: "Beth os ydi'r cysgodion hyn yn cuddio cyfrinach?En: "What if these shadows hide a secret?"Cy: " Golygon cyflym a ddangosodd dadansoddiad Rhian ei bod hi'n bosibl oedd hynny.En: A quick analysis by Rhian showed it was possible.Cy: Ar yr un pryd, roedd Tegan yn ystyried ei chweithiau.En: At the same time, Tegan was considering her options.Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw wibio lawr i gynteddau tywyll y pwll, gyda'i gynheiliadau pren a'r golau torllwys bob cam, cawsant eu syfrdanu gan ysgytwad sydyn.En: As they hurried down into the dark corridors of the pit, with its wooden supports and dim light every step of the way, they were startled by a sudden jolt.Cy: Roedd hynny'n ddigon i wneud i'w calonau ddal eu gwynt.En: It was enough to take their breath away.Cy: Ond yr oedd yn blys hefyd, o beidio rhoi'r gorau.En: But there was also a desire not to give up.Cy: Ar y foment gywir, ymddangosodd agoriad i siambr gudd.En: At the right moment, an opening to a hidden chamber appeared.Cy: "Dyma hi!En: "There it is!"Cy: " gwaeddodd Gethin, wrth sylwi ar arteffactau o arwyddocâd hanesyddol.En: shouted Gethin, upon noticing artifacts of historical significance.Cy: Dechreuon nhw sesiwn na darllen dim byd yn y llyfrau hanes.En: They began a session neither of them had read about in history books.Cy: Ond, yn sydyn, cafwyd tremor arall.En: Suddenly, there was another tremor.Cy: Roedd Rhian yn beirniadu eu hanghymryd o beidio sylwi ar beryglon.En: Rhian criticized their neglect in not noticing the dangers.Cy: "Rhaid i ni fynd," ymyrryd Rhian mewn brysiad.En: "We must go," intervened Rhian hastily.Cy: Ond roedd Gethin yn mawr obeithio cofnodi popeth, gyda'r cymorth Tegan.En: But Gethin was determined to record everything, with Tegan's help.Cy: Fe lwyddon nhw i ddal yr arteffactau mewn lluniau, cyn i'r siambr ddechrau dymchwel.En: They managed to capture the artifacts in photographs before the chamber began to collapse.Cy: Heb oedi, dyma nhw'n tynnu'n ôl, ddiogel o beryglon pellach.En: Without hesitation, they retreated, safe from further dangers.Cy: "Dyma'r storïau gwirioneddol," meddai Tegan.En: "These are the real stories," said Tegan.Cy: Roedd gwir ysbrydion hanes yn aros yn yr arteffactau.En: The true spirits of history lingered in the artifacts.Cy: Pan roedd yr heulwen yn disgleirio dros y pwll glo, newidiodd y tri.En: As the sunshine gleamed over the coal pit, the three of them changed.Cy: Gethin, yn agoriadol ar gyfer cydweithredu.En: Gethin, open to collaboration.Cy: Rhian, yn gweld effaith hanes ar ein hunain.En: Rhian, seeing the impact of history on ourselves.Cy: A Tegan, a ddarganfu bod stori'n fwy na sŵn, yn wirionedd i gyflwyno.En: And Tegan, discovering that a story is more than noise, it is a truth to present.Cy: Roeddent, trwy'r ymdrech

Rhaid i ni ei chadw," atebodd Eleri â llais cryf.En: "The store has been in our family for generations.
