Warthed oedd hi," chwythodd Ioan, heb sylweddoli’r cwtogiad hwn a achosodd olygon trwm o Gethin.En: "Hey, do you remember when that mess happened at Kita'w market?

Gethin's voice struck like thunder in the mountains, not only echoing through the air but also through hearts.Cy: Teimlai Ioan a Carys y gwres wrth Gethin gadw'r siarad, yn annog ac yn calonogi.En: Ioan and Carys felt the warmth as Gethin kept talking, encouraging and heartening.Cy: "Dwi'n dal i wrando," meddai Carys, nodweddiadol ei natur gonsensws.En: "I'm still listening," said Carys, in her typically conciliatory nature.Cy: Gyda gwawr hwyr yn codi, roedd y teulu, o'r diwedd, yn lleddfu eu boliau, fel roedd gweddnewidiad gwyrfaoedd y ffordd yn cwtogiad.En: With the late dawn rising, the family finally eased their burdens, as the transformation of the paths culminated.Cy: Roedd Gethin wedi dod i ymdeimlad newydd o gartref yn ei galon, lle gallai rhoi’i deimladau, heb ofn a heb broes.En: Gethin had come to a new sense of home in his heart, where he could place his feelings without fear and without rush.Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd yn troi'n symbol ei daith ei hun i'r copaau, lle dylech chi ddod o hyd i dir sin.En: The mountains became symbols of his own journey to the summits, where you should find a grounding place.Cy: Doedd dim clychau hydrum, ond roedd Gethin yn bwriadu sicrhau bod y gwylod yn carthu.En: There were no autumn bells, but Gethin intended to ensure that the valleys would echo.Cy: Roedd hwn yn awr ei hoedferau, lle maco’r can gyfan gaelul cyfan.En: This was now his maturity, a time when the whole song finds its entirety.Cy: Ac felly dechreuodd daith newydd Gethin, gyda teulu sy'n fwy uno nag erioed o'r blaen, a'i torian o braw a chysgodion bellach yn siambl lle gallwch chi adnabod agored ac ymwneud ag olrhain pell.En: And so began Gethin's new journey, with a family more united than ever before, and his shadowy trials now a template where one can recognize openness and engage with distant traces.

street in the small Welsh suburb, the landscape had already been transformed.Cy: Roedd y byd o gwmpas Eira wedi ei drwytho'n wyn yr eira cyntaf.En: The world around Eira was soaked in white from the first snow.Cy: Roedd trionglau siâp teg a blinkau disglair yn amgylchynu ei gynefin difyr.En: Beautiful triangular shapes and sparkling twinkles surrounded her lively habitat.Cy: Ond heddiw nid oedd hi'n gwyro popeth yn gyfarwydd.En: But today, not everything was familiar.Cy: Roedd Eira wedi cynllunio popeth i'r eiliad, fel yr arferai, ond doedd dim wedi paratoi ar gyfer yr eira annisgwyl hwn.En: Eira had planned everything down to the minute, as she usually did, but nothing had prepared her for this unexpected snow.Cy: Daeth Rhys i'w hochr wrth iddi gyffwrdd y ffenest, gan wylio'r flociau eira fel seren cyfoethog.En: Rhys came to her side as she touched the window, watching the snowflakes like rich stars.Cy: "Mae'r ffordd allan wedi cau," sylwodd Rhys, gynnes a sipio eu coffi Cymreig.En: "The way out is blocked," noted Rhys, warm and sipping their Welsh coffee.Cy: "Gellid bod y cyfarfod pwysig yn methu'r wythnos nesaf," meddai Eira â brysurdeb yn ei llais.En: "The important meeting might miss next week," said Eira with urgency in her voice.Cy: Roedd cytundeb mawr i'w gynnal, a rhaid llyfr i'w cyflwyno.En: There was a major contract to be held, and a book needed to be presented.Cy: Heb y pecyn hwnnw, byddai’r cyfwelydd yn aros, ac roedd ei swydd mewn perygl.En: Without that package, the interviewer would be waiting, and her job was in jeopardy.Cy: Yn sydyn, clywodd sŵn uchel o'r tu allan.En: Suddenly, she heard a loud noise from outside.Cy: Yno, wrth y drws ffrynt, roedd Gwen, gydag eira gwyn ar ei clytiog siâp bach arbrawf.En: There, by the front door,

syml.En: Eira was completed through the snow, the sled gliding lightly and simply.Cy: Llwyddodd i gylchdroi drwy'r sleidr yn ddeheuig mewn môr o ddaear fwy gwyn.En: She managed to navigate the sled skillfully in a sea of whiter earth.Cy: Pan gyrhaeddodd Eira swyddfa'r gyfarfod yn llawer o lan a chynulleidfa, roedd hi a'r pecyn yn ddiogel ar gyfer eu lles.En: When Eira arrived at the meeting office, much to her relief, she and the package were safe for their success.Cy: Daeth eiliad o dawelwch ar ei hôl, ac echdwyd o lwyddiant.En: A moment of calm followed, and they burst with achievement.Cy: Glanach brysiog gyda lefel jersey llawn, diswyddodd rysáit y llwyddiant.En: A brisk cleaner with a full jersey level dismissed the recipe for success.Cy: "Eira, wyt ti wedi dod â'r werthfawrogiad mwyaf," meddai Rhys yn lled â gwybodaeth wyddonol, pan ddychwelasant oddi wrth ei hanediad llon.En: "Eira, you've brought the greatest appreciation," said Rhys jovially when they

pumpkins were hard to handle, and one—just one—slipped from her grasp, causing the others to topple like onions over the edge of her sentence.Cy: Gan barlysu, chwarddodd Catrin â thylwyth, disynnu ei

aildrechu ar Rhys a Megan.En: Her face turned red as she turned to Rhys and Megan.Cy: Heb unrhyw hogia, rhuthrodd Rhys i helpu, tra bod Megan yn dod â basged i arbed traed Catrin rhag rhag ofn.En: Without any hesitation, Rhys rushed to help, while Megan brought a basket to save Catrin's feet just in case.Cy: Gyda'r tîm hwnnw'n cydweithio i'w harddangos, roedd y pwmpenni yn dychwelyd, yma ac acw, mewn lwyddiant gwych.En: With the team working together to display them, the pumpkins were back, here and there, in great success.Cy: Wrth gynhyrfu, gwelodd Catrin pa mor hawdd gallai pethau fod
