Story Transcript:

Cy: Roedd Brynn yn gweithio yn y gweithdy gof ar ganol yr haf poethaf yn y pentref canoloesol.
En: Brynn was working in the blacksmith's workshop in the midst of the hottest summer in the medieval village.

Cy: Roedd y gweithdy yn le prysur, llawn offer a darnau metel llosgedig, gyda phob cornel yn llawn cysgodion yn dawnsio wrth i'r ffwrnais pylu a fflachio.
En: The workshop was a bustling place, full of tools and burned metal fragments, with every corner filled with dancing shadows as the furnace flickered and flared.

Cy: Roedd arogl haearn poeth a chwys yn drwch yn yr awyr.
En: The air was thick with the smell of hot iron and sweat.

Cy: Roedd Brynn yn gwisgo ei apron trwm a'i fwrw arian, barod i gwblhau comisiwn pwysig ar gyfer armor y castell.
En: Brynn wore his heavy apron and his iron tongs, ready to complete an important commission for the castle's armor.

Cy: "Rhaid i mi orffen hwn yn berffaith," meddai Brynn i'w hun, yn gwybod bod hwn yn gyfle i brofi ei werth.
En: "I must finish this perfectly," Brynn said to himself, knowing this was an opportunity to prove his worth.

Cy: Roedd y ffwrnais yn cael problemau, ac roedd amser yn brin.
En: The furnace was having issues, and time was short.

Cy: Gwelai'r haul yn dechrau machlud trwy'r ffenestr fach, gan gofio iddo bod y nos yn prysur agosáu.
En: He saw the sun beginning to set through the small window, reminding him that night was fast approaching.

Cy: Roedd ei wyneb wedi'i orchuddio â llwch, a'i ddwylo'n boenus, ond ni allai feddwl am orffwys.
En: His face was covered in dust, his hands aching, but he couldn't think of resting.

Cy: Byddai cymryd hoe yn golygu peryglu'r comisiwn ac unrhyw waith yn y dyfodol.
En: Taking a break would mean risking the commission and any future work.

Cy: “Na, rhaid i mi barhau,” penderfynodd ef, gan fwyhau ei ffrwstredigaeth.
En: "No, I must continue," he decided, increasing his frustration.

Cy: Wrth iddo weithio, fflachiodd y ffwrnais yn sydyn, a dechreuodd yr haearn boethi'n ormodol.
En: As he worked, the furnace suddenly flared up, and the iron began to overheat.

Cy: Gwelodd Brynn ei waith caled yn datgymalu o flaen ei lygaid.
En: Brynn saw his hard work falling apart before his eyes.

Cy: "Na, na, na!
En: "No, no, no!"

Cy: " gwaeddodd, gan ruthro i ddal y sefyllfa.
En: he shouted, rushing to salvage the situation.

Cy: Gyda chalon yn curo'n gyflym, achosodd ei freichiau yn gyflym a medrus i osod y darn metel yn ei le.
En: With his heart pounding, his arms moved swiftly and skillfully to set the metal piece in place.

Cy: Ceisio rheoli'r fflamau, arosodd yn focused a gwastataodd dechneg fel cerddor yn chwarae concerto.
En: Trying to control the flames, he stayed focused and smoothed his technique like a musician playing a concerto.

Cy: Yn gyflym, daeth y fflamau'n dawel, a'r haearn yn cychwyn i sgleinio'n hardd.
En: Quickly, the flames calmed, and the iron started to shine beautifully.

Cy: Er ei rwystredigaethau, a'i flinder, roedd Brynn wedi llwyddo.
En: Despite his frustrations and fatigue, Brynn succeeded.

Cy: Gyda ffurfiau'r comisiwn yn dod yn glir gan oleuni'r wawr, edrychodd Brynn ar ei waith, yn falch o'r hyn a gyflawnwyd.
En: With the commission's shapes becoming clear in the dawn's light, Brynn looked at his work, proud of what he had accomplished.

Cy: Y fynedigaeth cyntaf o'r haul bore yn hofran drwy'r ffenestr, gan belydru ar y darn metel ysblennydd.
En: The first rays of morning sunlight hovered through the window, illuminating the splendid metal piece.

Cy: Yn cyd-droi Roedd Brynn gan clywed troedseg y armor yn dod i werthfawrogi'r canlyniadau.
En: Brynn turned as he heard the footsteps of the armorer coming to appreciate the results.

Cy: Trwy lygad y golau, syfrdanwyd yr armorer, a chanmol ei grefft, gan addo mwy o comisiynau o'r llysoedd frenhinaidd.
En: Through the light's glint, the armorer was astonished, praising his craftsmanship and promising more commissions from the royal courts.

Cy: Gyda rhyddhad mawr, cwympodd Brynn i eistedd, yn gwybod bod yr ymdrech wedi talu'n ôl.

Cy: Wrth iddo ofalu am ei ddwylo llosgedig, fel un yn llawenhau mewn hyder newydd - penderfynodd rhagor o drefniadaeth rhwng gwaith a gorffwys.
En: As he cared for his burned hands, rejoicing in newfound confidence, he decided on better organization between work and rest.

Cy: Roedd Brynn, yr gof blinedig oedd newydd ddod yn arwr crafft o'r dydd - erbyn hyn ei hunan gan ddigonedd o ymddiriedaeth.
