Cy: Roedd awyr las gyda niwl yn gorlifo dros y copaon yn y Bannau Brycheiniog.
En: The sky was blue with mist spilling over the peaks in the Bannau Brycheiniog.
Cy: Roedd yr haid o goetir wedi ei gorchuddio â dail aur ac euraid, yn carpedu'r llawr fel bod y byd ei hun wedi ei bwytho â phalodau'r hydref.
En: The grove of woodland was covered with golden and gilded leaves, carpeting the ground as if the world itself had been stitched with the fineries of autumn.
Cy: Roedd Gareth yn cerdded ar hyd y llwybr cul, ei galon yn cystadlu gyda theimladau o bryder a dycnwch.
En: Gareth walked along the narrow path, his heart contending with feelings of anxiety and determination.
Cy: Ymhellach wedyn, roedd Elin a Llewelyn wedi aros i gefnogi Gareth.
En: Further along, Elin and Llewelyn had stopped to support Gareth.
Cy: “Bydd popeth yn iawn,” meddai Elin, yn trio ei dawelu.
En: "Everything will be okay," said Elin, trying to calm him.
Cy: Ond roedd Gareth yn gwybod fod amser yn dyngu ei derfyn.
En: But Gareth knew that time was running out.
Cy: Roedd ganddo dasg bwysfawr i gwrdd â hi – adfer oriawr poced arian, hen berl ei deulu.
En: He had an important task to fulfill – to retrieve a silver pocket watch, an old family heirloom.
Cy: Troes y llwybr yn glogwyn serth, a'r tir yn fwy garw ac anghysbell.
En: The path turned into a steep cliff, and the terrain grew more rugged and remote.
Cy: Roedd goleuni'r dydd yn dyddosoli, a niwl tew yn ymledu dros y topynnau.
En: The daylight was dwindling, and thick mist spread over the peaks.
Cy: Roedd Gareth yn gwybod fod rhaid iddo benderfynu aros neu fynd ymhellach.
En: Gareth knew he had to decide whether to stay or go further.
Cy: “Rhaid i mi barhau,” meddai'n lwydrwydd.
En: "I must continue," he said resolutely.
Cy: Estynnodd map hen wedi'i friwsio ac enw'r mynyddoedd wedi'u hysgrifennu dan ei law yn dangos ffordd.
En: He unfolded an old, tattered map with the names of the mountains written in his handwriting showing the way.
Cy: Gan ddilyn llwybr cwt gwynion, plymiodd Gareth ei hun i bol troes.
En: Following a trail of white stones, Gareth plunged himself into a winding defile.
Cy: Tro nesaf, roedd cerrig a blewyn dryllyd yn sefyll fel anghenfilod wrth ei draed.
En: At the next turn, rocks and bristly hedges stood like monsters at his feet.
Cy: Yna, o ddiarhebol yr eiliad, cododd y niwl a llawenodd amlinell y llewyrcaen arian.
En: Then, in a proverbial moment, the mist lifted and the outline of the silver sanctuary gleamed brightly.
Cy: "Yma yw hi!
En: "Here it is!"
Cy: " gwaeddodd gyda'i lais yn atseinio dros y llysnar.
En: he shouted, his voice echoing over the ravine.
Cy: Cysur a gof wasgodd ei ddeinosau pryder wrth iddo godi'r oriawr, goleuni'r pelydr olaf yn neidio oddi ar yr arian disglair.
En: Comfort and memory squeezed away his anxious doubts as he picked up the watch, the last ray of light leaping off the shiny silver.
Cy: Gyda'r nos yn cuddio'r byd o'i gwrlid du, stwffiodd Gareth yr oriawr yn ddiogel yn ei boced.
En: With the night cloaking the world in its dark veil, Gareth tucked the watch safely in his pocket.
Cy: Adlewyrchiad gwydn i'w hynafiaid.
En: A steadfast reflection of his ancestors.
Cy: Teimlodd pwysau'r oriawr yn wresog yn erbyn ei galon.
En: He felt the weight of the watch warmly against his heart.
Cy: Pan aeth yn ôl at Elin a Llewelyn, teimlai newid wedi digwydd.
En: When he returned to Elin and Llewelyn, he sensed a change had occurred.
Cy: Mewn oriau byr o'r diwrnod, roedd Gareth wedi ennill hyder newydd yn ei alluoedd, a hefyd gwerthfawrogiad mwy dwfn o dreftadaeth ei deulu.
En: In the short hours of the day, Gareth had gained new confidence in his abilities, and also a deeper appreciation of his family's heritage.
Cy: Wrth gerdded law yn llaw gyda'i ffrindiau tuag at ddinas y dydd newydd, roedd Gareth yn gwybod nad oedd o wedi colli dim – roedd o wedi canfod llawer mwy.
En: As he walked hand in hand with his friends toward the city of the new day, Gareth knew he hadn’t lost anything – he had discovered so much more.
