Story Transcript:
Cy: Ar ddiwrnod braf o wanwyn, yng Nghaerdydd, roedd y Farchnad Ganolog prysur yn llawn bywyd.
En: On a fine spring day in Caerdydd, the Central Market was bustling with life.
Cy: Roedd Rhiannon, masnachwraig hen bethau, yn edrych yn ofidus wrth fynd heibio i silffoedd llawn trysorau.
En: Rhiannon, an antiques dealer, looked worried as she passed shelves full of treasures.
Cy: Roedd colli artifact prin wedi taflu cysgod dros ei enw da.
En: Losing a rare artifact had cast a shadow over her reputation.
Cy: Roedd cwsmeriaid yn gadael gyda bagiau yn llawn bara ffres ac ond dwsin o flodau gwynion, ond roedd meddwl Rhiannon yn sownd ar y broblem o ddarganfod y darn coll cyn i'r farchnad gau.
En: Customers were leaving with bags full of fresh bread and a dozen white flowers, but Rhiannon's mind was stuck on the problem of finding the missing piece before the market closed.
Cy: "Meddyliais efallai y gallwn weithio gyda'i gilydd," atebodd Branwen gyda gwên fywiog, masnachwraig nad oedd hi erioed wedi gweld heb lygaid sy'n chwilio am ddirgelion.
En: "I thought perhaps we could work together," replied Branwen with a lively smile, a trader she had never seen without eyes searching for mysteries.
Cy: Ond roedd Rhiannon yn gwybod ei bod hi hefyd yn chwarae ar dir peryglus.
En: But Rhiannon knew she was also treading dangerous ground.
Cy: Roedd Dafydd, ei brif gystadleuydd, yn credu mai Rhiannon oedd yn gyfrifol am y stoleth hon.
En: Dafydd, her main competitor, believed that Rhiannon was responsible for this theft.
Cy: Trwy smalio y byddent yn cydweithio, cafodd y ddau gyfle i gwrdd yng nghanol y teyrnged o stondinau lliwgar a thrafod yr eironi o'u sefyllfa.
En: Pretending they would collaborate, the two got a chance to meet among the colorful array of stalls and discuss the irony of their situation.
Cy: Roedd Branwen eisiau helpu, er ei fod yn aml yn mwynhau chwarae o gwmpas dirgelion, roedd hi hefyd yn gwybod y gallai profi ei bod hi'n medru bod yn gynghreiriad da.
En: Branwen wanted to help, despite often enjoying playing around mysteries, she also knew she could prove to be a good ally.
Cy: Pan awgrymodd Rhiannon y dylai ymuno â hi i ddatgelu'r gwir, gwelodd Bodranwen addewid yn llygad Rhiannon.
En: When Rhiannon suggested she join her in uncovering the truth, Branwen saw a promise in Rhiannon's eyes.
Cy: Gyda'r hael unedig, dechreuodd y ddau drwy archwilio'r silffoedd o amgylch y farchnad.
En: With united generosity, the two began by examining the shelves around the market.
Cy: Roedd y lle wedi'i ildio â'r sŵn o sgwrsio a sgil-gynnau, wrth i bob stondinor ymddangos yn amheus, neu efallai braidd yn brysur.
En: The place was filled with the sound of chatting and clattering, as every stallholder appeared suspicious, or perhaps just too busy.
Cy: Wrth chwilota am unrhyw arwyddion o smyglo, darganfuant gymhal ar stondin arall.
En: While searching for any signs of smuggling, they discovered a clue at another stall.
Cy: Yn y fan honno, oedd rhywun wedi’i stwffio â gobaith nad oes neb erioed wedi ffeindio eu cronfa gyfrinachol.
En: There, someone had stuffed it with the hope that no one would ever find their secret stash.
Cy: Rhowch fy i wyneb i - y fath lun oedd tu mewn i’r hen staeniau’r pren - ac ar bwys, yr artifact ar goll.
En: "Put my face inside" — such was the picture within the old wood stains — and nearby, the missing artifact.
