En: Gareth was standing next to a large stone in the Brecon Beacons. Cy: Roedd yr awyrgylch yn llawn arogl dail sychion, a'r gwynt yn symud trwy'r coed fel cân hud. En: The atmosphere was filled with the scent of dry leaves, and the wind moved through the trees like a magical song. Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd yn eu harddwch yn ymestyn dros y moelni, a rhoddai'r darlun ysblennydd gyfle i Gareth ddangos wrth ei fyfyrwyr harddwch hanes Cymru. En: The mountains, in their beauty, stretched across the barren land, and the splendid picture provided Gareth the opportunity to show his students the beauty of Wales's history. Cy: "Mae yna lawer i'w ddysgu yma," meddai Gareth yn frwdfrydig wrth y grŵp bach o blant. En: "There's a lot to learn here," said Gareth enthusiastically to the small group of children. Cy: Crëodd hanes ei famgu, a llawer o hanesion eraill, ddelwedd yn ei feddwl. En: His grandmother's history, along with many other tales, painted an image in his mind. Cy: "Dyma le lle roedd sawl digwyddiad hynod wedi digwydd. En: "This is a place where many remarkable events have happened." Cy: "Ond roedd Eira, oedd yn edrych yn ddiog ac yn syllu ar ei ffon drwy'r amser, yn anwybyddu'i ymroddiad. En: But Eira, who looked bored and was staring at her phone all the time, ignored his dedication. Cy: Roedd golwg o ddiflastod ar ei hwyneb, a ni chafodd Gareth ond ysgafn siom ohoni. En: There was an expression of boredom on her face, and Gareth felt only mild disappointment in her. Cy: Roedd am iddi deimlo nerth hanes. En: He wanted her to feel the power of history. Cy: Roedd rhywbeth yn y Beacons yma a allai newid ei barn, os byddai'n gwrando. En: There was something in these Beacons that could change her mind, if she listened. Cy: Wrth i'r niwl trwchus ymgasglu dros y tir, roedd llawer o'r myfyrwyr yn dechrau teimlo yn nerfus. En: As the thick mist gathered over the land, many of the students began to feel nervous. Cy: Penderfynodd Gareth gymryd grŵp bach, sy'n cynnwys Eira, i gadnoddau cuddiedig ar y safle. En: Gareth decided to take a small group, including Eira, to hidden hollows on the site. Cy: Roedd yn bwriadu rhannu stori arbennig am gysylltiad personol ag un o'r hanesion hynaf. En: He intended to share a special story about a personal connection to one of the oldest tales. Cy: "Dewch, mae'n rhaid i chi weld hwn," aeth ymlaen, gan annog Eira i sefyll wrth ei ochr. En: "Come on, you have to see this," he went on, encouraging Eira to stand by his side. Cy: Gyda phob cam, roedd mwy i'w ddarganfod. En: With every step, there was more to discover. Cy: O dan glymu cwrlid o blanhigion y gellid gweld clwydi hen eu dydd, weddillion cartrefi ei hynafiaid. En: Under a carpet of plants, one could see relics of old gates and the remnants of his ancestors' homes. Cy: Roedd Gareth wedi dysgu o dair siwrnai ac mae effaith ei eiriau yn gallu bod yn gryf iawn. En: Gareth had learned from three trips, and the impact of his words could be very powerful. Cy: Ond roedd rhaid iddo wneud Eira deall. En: But he needed to make Eira understand. Cy: "Yma," dechreuodd Gareth a hisian yn rhyfedd i'r niwl. En: "Here," began Gareth, whispering strangely to the mist. Cy: "Dyma lle lleiafrifol deulu fi oedd yn byw, mewn amser anodd iawn. En: "This is where a minority of my family lived, in very challenging times. Cy: Dyfroedd hanes nawr yn cyrraedd goresgynnol yr enillion. En: The waters of history now reach the brink of conquest." Cy: "Ar yr union eiliad honno, gwelodd Eira rywbeth disglair. En: At that very moment, Eira saw something shiny. Cy: Roedd hi'n pigo i'r ddaear a chodi artifact bychan, oedd yn edrych fel cerfiad gyda delweddau byd sinistr. En: She bent to the ground and picked up a small artifact, which looked like a carving with sinister world images. Cy: "Beth yw hyn? En: "What is this?" Cy: " gofynnodd hi, llygaid yn llesg o chwilfrydedd. En: she asked, eyes wide with curiosity. Cy: Edrychodd Gareth arno’n ofalus, ac mewn saib o amser, deallodd ei arwyddocâd. En: Gareth looked at it carefully, and in a moment of pause, he understood its significance. Cy: Roeddent wedi darganfod darn o hanes. En: They had discovered a piece of history. Cy: "Mae'n bosibl bod hwn yn berthynas i'r amser a fu," esboniodd, teimlad o balchder yn ei lais. En: "It's possible this relates to a time that once was," he explained, a feeling of pride in his voice. Cy: Yn y funud fe addawsant dau. En: In that moment, they both made a promise. Cy: Yn fuan roeddent yn ymuno gyda'i gilydd i ddwyn goleuni ar yr hyn a oedd ganddynt yn eu dwylo, gan ddod yn gysylltiad agos rhwng y gorffennol a'r presennol. En: Soon, they joined together to shed light on what they held in their hands, forming a close connection between the past and the present. Cy: Pan ddychwelodd y grŵp yn ôl i'r dosbarth, roedd Eira yn awyddus i rannu ei phrofiad. En: When the group returned to the classroom, Eira was eager to share her experience. Cy: Dechreuodd weld hanes yn wahanol, ac roedd Gareth yn gwybod iddi ddechrau gwerthfawrogi'r angerdd yr oedd ef yn ceisio ei gyfleu. En: She began to see history differently, and Gareth knew she had started to appreciate the passion he was trying to convey. Cy: Yn y diwedd, roedd y trîp i'r Brecon Beacons nid yn unig am ddysgu am hanes ond hefyd am gysylltu gydag ef. En: In the end, the trip to the Brecon Beacons was not only about learning history but also about connecting with it. Cy: Roedd Gareth ac Eira wedi dod o hyd i ddod dros eu hunain, a hynny drwy gariad i'r hanes a chofathu. En: Gareth and Eira had found a way to transcend their own boundaries, doing so through a love of history and remembrance. Cy: Roedd trasiedi ac ysbrydoliaeth wedi creu cwlwm cryf rhyngddynt. En: Tragedy and inspiration had created a strong bond between them.
