Transcript:Cy: Y tu ôl i lwyni blêr o golau addurnol, roedd marchnad Nadolig Caerdydd yn llawn dop o bobl yn cerdded rhwng y stondinau.En: Behind a chaotic tangle of decorative lights, the Caerdydd Christmas market was packed with people walking between the stalls.Cy: Teimlodd Rhian yr ailennill teimlad cyfarwydd o loes, yn gaeth o'r newydd i ofid am ei thad.En: Rhian felt a familiar pang of grief resurface, once again trapped in sadness about her father.Cy: Roedd gan Rhian gynlluniau i sicrhau bod ei thad, Gareth, yn profi Nadolig hyfryd.En: Rhian had plans to ensure that her father, Gareth, would experience a wonderful Christmas.Cy: Ond, ychydig wyddai hi am y storm oedd yn dod.En: But, she knew little of the storm that was coming.Cy: Gwelodd Rhian Gareth yn cerdded o’u blaenau, ei wyneb yn tywynnu dan olau’r farchnad, ond ar adegau gwelwyd cymylau tawel ar ei wyneb.En: Rhian saw Gareth walking ahead of them, his face glowing under the market lights, but sometimes clouds of worry appeared on his face.Cy: Gwenais i pan gwelais Eleri yn ymuno â'r dorf.En: I smiled when I saw Eleri join the crowd.Cy: Roedd Eleri yn ffrind wrth gefn ac yn ysbrydoliaeth.En: Eleri was a steadfast friend and an inspiration.Cy: Roedd hi'n cario’r fesur o hiwmor yr oedd Rhian yn ceisio dysgu.En: She carried the measure of humor that Rhian was trying to learn.Cy: "Dyma ni," meddai Gareth, codi ei lygaid i'r sêr plastig.En: "Here we are," said Gareth, lifting his eyes to the plastic stars.Cy: "Mae'n hyfryd, on'd ydy?En: "It's beautiful, isn't it?"Cy: " Roedd yn ceisio cadw'r gân yn wynfyd, ond roedd Rhian yn gwybod yn well.En: He tried to keep the tune joyful, but Rhian knew better.Cy: Roedd adar canu ger Eleri, yn gadael telynau o ganeuon Nadolig yn llenwi'r awyr.En: There were birds singing near Eleri, leaving strains of Christmas songs filling the air.Cy: Cafodd y sŵn ei dorri gan sŵn rhyfedd, trywanu drwy'r gimigrydd cyn iddi gyrru ffin i Rhian.En: The sound was interrupted by a strange noise, piercing through the commotion before sending a chill to Rhian.Cy: "Tad?En: "Dad?"Cy: " meddai mewn pryder.En: she said in concern.Cy: Roedd Gareth wedi colli ei gydbwysedd yn sydyn, yn dymchwel yn erbyn stondin agosaf.En: Gareth had suddenly lost his balance, collapsing against the nearest stall.Cy: Arhosodd pob symudiad, cau'r llwybrau addurno.En: Every movement stopped, closing the decorative walkways.Cy: Dychrynllyd oedd Rhian.En: Rhian was terrified.Cy: Galwodd y bàl am help, ei meddwl yn brwydro rhwng parhau gyda'u trefniadau neu newid iddi mewn amser byr.En: She called for help, her mind battling between continuing with their plans or changing them in a short time.Cy: Doedd unrhyw gynllun perffaith ddim yn bwysig mwyach.En: Any perfect plan was no longer important.Cy: Daeth Eleri at ei hochr, gan annog Rhian.En: Eleri came to her side, encouraging Rhian.Cy: "Rhaid i ni gadw'n dawel," meddai Eleri, llynu dwylo Gareth.En: "We must stay calm," said Eleri, clutching Gareth's hands.Cy: Daeth dyn yn roi cymorth cyntaf, yn cymell y dorf i ofod.En: A man came to provide first aid, urging the crowd to give them space.Cy: Gwelodd Rhian ei thad yn ei anadlu'n ddofn ac mewn poen, ond yn fyw.En: Rhian saw her father breathing deeply and in pain, but alive.Cy: Roedd hi'n amser i newid.En: It was time to change.Cy: I’r ysbyty roedd y cymorth cyntaf yn eu helpu i fynd, mewn cerbyd ambiwlans oedd â sain swnllyd.En: To the hospital, the first aiders helped them go, in an ambulance vehicle with a loud sound.Cy: Ymhen amser, roedd Gareth yn gorffwys mewn cysgu tawel.En: In time, Gareth was resting in peaceful sleep.Cy: Canfu Rhian ei hun mewn ystafell y cafodd hi ei ddal mewn meddwl, gyda llewygiad o ddiolchgarwch.En: Rhian found herself in a room, caught in thought, with a wave of gratitude.Cy: "Bysai o wedi 'i ffeindio'n ôl yma pan o'n i'n ôl ar hyn o bryd," meddai Eleri, eu calonau'n cynhesu mewn cwpanau o siocledi poeth.En: "He would have found his way back here by now," said Eleri, their hearts warmed by cups of hot chocolate.Cy: "Mae'n atgofion gyda teulu," ffrwydrodd golchiad o dagrau llawenydd neu, efallai, llesniad Rhian ar ei thir go iawn.En: "It's memories with family," burst Rhian in a wash of joyful tears or, perhaps, contentment settling on her true ground.Cy: Nid brwdfrydedd cymhellol oedd y Nadolig gorau, ond yn y gobaith cariad lle mae amser, dim ots lle’r ydyw’r sêr yn llaw euraid neu ledirlich.En: The best Christmas wasn't driven by a compulsion for excitement, but in the hope of love where time, no matter where the stars are in golden hand or leathered sky.Cy: Ymddangosodd y foment honno, gan ddarganolfod y gwir ystyr.En: At that moment, they discovered the true meaning.Cy: Gwawriodd arnynt.En: It dawned on them.Cy: Roedd eu cartref yn cynnwys newydd.En: Their home included something new.Cy: Mae teulu'n bopeth.En: Family is everything.Cy: Yn Nadolig yn gorffwys ar lethrau personol Gareth, mae fel petai amser yn seibiant.En: At Christmas resting on Gareth's personal slopes, it's as if time paused.Cy: Ac felly, gyda chysgu cynnar yn llawn haelioni a chariad, roedd y Nadolig yn drawiadol, yn y bôn, yn ddi-ddarfod, mewn ystyr o dyfiant.En: And so, with early sleep full of generosity and love, the Christmas was remarkable, essentially endless, in a sense of growth.Cy: Roedd Rhian wedi dysgu gwerth y foment.En: Rhian had learned the value of the moment.Cy: Roedd seren y tŷ ar lefel arall o srôl.En: The star of the house was on another level of sparkle.Cy: Ac yn llonyddwch y garreg lawr, roedd siol blentynnaidd yn llaw Rhian—mewn gwirionedd, gwaith y groes.En: And in the quiet of the hearth, there was a child's scarf in Rhian's hand—in reality, the work of the cross.
