Story Transcript:

Cy: Y bore oedd yn gyfarch hael ac yn llonni i gynifer o deithiau, ac ni allai Carys a Rhodri ddechrau diwrnod gwell i'w hantur.
En: The morning greeted generously and cheered up many journeys, and Carys and Rhodri could not have started a better day for their adventure.

Cy: Cerddai Carys a Rhodri i fyny'r llwybr serth yn Eryri, y goleuni haul yn glir yn eu golygon.
En: Carys and Rhodri were walking up the steep path in Snowdonia, the sunlight clear in their sight.

Cy: Roedd Carys yn gyffroi.
En: Carys was excited.

Cy: Roedd hi'n barod i groesi pob anhawster i gyrraedd copa'r Wyddfa.
En: She was ready to overcome any difficulty to reach the peak of Snowdon.

Cy: Roedd Rhodri wrth ei hochr, yn dawelach ac yn llai siŵr.
En: Rhodri was by her side, quieter and less certain.

Cy: Roedd ofn uchder wedi dal ei afael arno'n drwm.
En: The fear of heights had gripped him heavily.

Cy: "Rydyn ni'n gallu gwneud hyn," meddai Carys yn benderfynol.
En: "We can do this," said Carys determinedly.

Cy: "Rydw i'n gwybod efallai fydd hi'n anodd, ond ni allwn ymwrthod â'r cyfle hon."
En: "I know it might be difficult, but we can't refuse this opportunity."

Cy: Edrychodd Rhodri i'r ddaear ac yn ôl ar y mynydd uchel.
En: Rhodri looked at the ground and back at the high mountain.

Cy: "Bydd popeth yn iawn, Carys," meddai, heb fod yn siŵr yn wir.
En: "Everything will be alright, Carys," he said, not entirely sure.

Cy: Roedd y llwybr yn mynd yn fwy serth a chreigiog wrth iddynt fynd yn uwch.
En: The path became steeper and rockier as they ascended.

Cy: Roedd y golygfeydd o'r gwastadeddau gwyrddlas yn llonnarad, ond roedd Rhodri'n canolbwyntio ar ei anadl, gan gofio i beidio edrych i lawr.
En: The views of the lush green plains were enlivening, but Rhodri focused on his breathing, remembering not to look down.

Cy: Wrth iddynt agosáu at ledled cul, roedd Rhodri'n arafu.
En: As they approached a narrow ledge, Rhodri slowed down.

Cy: Gwelodd Carys am edrych yn ôl.
En: Carys noticed and looked back.

Cy: "Ti'n iawn, Rhodri?" gofynnodd hi'n braf.
En: "Are you alright, Rhodri?" she asked kindly.

Cy: Teimlodd Rhodri ei galon yn cyflymu.
En: Rhodri felt his heart race.

Cy: "Dydw i ddim yn siŵr," atebodd, gan deimlo ofn yn ei lais.
En: "I'm not sure," he replied, hearing the fear in his voice.

Cy: Cynigiodd Carys ei law er cymorth.
En: Carys offered her hand for help.

Cy: "Yma, Rhodri; rydym yn tîm.
En: "Here, Rhodri; we're a team.

Cy: Nid wyf am gyrraedd y copa hebot ti."
En: I don't want to reach the peak without you."

Cy: Cymerodd Rhodri y llaw, gan ddal ei anadl, a daeth ymlaen yn araf.
En: Rhodri took the hand, holding his breath, and moved forward slowly.

Cy: Arhosodd y ddau wrth y ledled, wedi'u hamgylchynu gan fynyddoedd, a'r gwynt yn curo'n galed yn eu hwynebau.
En: The two paused at the ledge, surrounded by mountains, with the wind beating hard against their faces.

Cy: Roedd Rhodri'n rhewi am eiliad, methu symud ymlaen na'n ôl.
En: Rhodri froze for a moment, unable to move forward or back.

Cy: "Gallwn ni wneud hyn," poedodd Carys.
En: "We can do this," urged Carys.

Cy: "Rho dy swydd ymlaen, un cam ar y tro."
En: "Put your effort forward, one step at a time."

Cy: Gafaelodd Rhodri yn dynach, gan gydio'n gryfach yn llaw ei ffrind.
En: Rhodri gripped tighter, holding his friend's hand more firmly.

Cy: Gan gymryd anadl dynn, cymerodd un cam yn araf, ac yna gam arall.
En: Taking a deep breath, he took one slow step, and then another.

Cy: Yn araf bach, dechreuodd symud.
En: Gradually, he began to move.

Cy: Wedi oriau o ddringo a gorchfygu ofnau, gwelodd y ddau gopa'r Wyddfa y tu blaen.
En: After hours of climbing and conquering fears, the two saw the summit of Snowdon ahead.

Cy: Roedd y mynydd yn enfawr, a'r gorwel yn llawn o obaith.
En: The mountain was immense, and the horizon was full of hope.

Cy: "Rydym wedi llwyddo!" gweiddi Carys, ei llais yn llond llawenydd.
En: "We've done it!" shouted Carys, her voice full of joy.

Cy: Cydiodd Rhodri yn llaw Carys unwaith eto.
En: Rhodri held Carys's hand once again.

Cy: "Diolch i ti," meddai'n dawel.
En: "Thank you," he said quietly.

Cy: "Hebot ti, fyddwn ni ddim wedi cyrraedd."
En: "Without you, we wouldn't have made it."

Cy: Wrth sefyll ar y copa, aeddu brwydr pob cam, roedd Carys a Rhodri yn teimlo rhywbeth mwy na llwyddiant dros y mynydd.
En: Standing on the peak, having earned every step, Carys and Rhodri felt something more than simply conquering the mountain.

Cy: Roeddent wedi meithrin perthynas pwysicach — un o gefnogaeth ac ymddiriedaeth.
En: They had fostered a more important relationship — one of support and trust.

Cy: Ac wrth iddynt edrych i lawr o'r copa, roeddynt yn gwybod bod pob cam, pob llwyddiant a chynghori ei gilydd wedi gwneud yr antur yn wirioneddol werthfawr.
En: As they looked down from the peak, they knew that every step, every success, and each other's encouragement had made the adventure truly worthwhile.
