Story Transcript:
Cy: Ar fore prysur yng ngorllewin Carthage, roedd Emrys yn gwthio'i ffordd drwy'r farchnad fywiog.
En: On a busy morning in the west of Carthage, Emrys was pushing his way through the lively market.
Cy: Mae'r awyr o'i gwmpas yn llawn arogl persawrus sbeisys o bob cornel o'r byd.
En: The air around him was filled with the fragrant aroma of spices from every corner of the world.
Cy: Roedd Carthage yn lle anhygoel, yn llawn synau a golygfeydd oedd yn newydd i Emrys.
En: Carthage was an incredible place, full of sounds and sights that were new to Emrys.
Cy: Edrychai i fyny at bensaernïaeth ddarluniadol y ddinas hynafol, gan feddwl am y cyfoeth y gallai ddod ag ef adref i Gymru.
En: He looked up at the illustrative architecture of the ancient city, contemplating the wealth he might bring home to Cymru.
Cy: Emrys oedd masnachwr ifanc, llawn brwdfrydedd ac uchelgais.
En: Emrys was a young trader, full of enthusiasm and ambition.
Cy: Ei nod oedd dod o hyd i sbeis egsotig oedd yn unigryw i farchnad Carthage.
En: His goal was to find an exotic spice unique to the Carthage market.
Cy: Os gallai sicrhau bargen dda, byddai'n ennill parch a chlod ar ei ddychweliad i'w fro.
En: If he could secure a good deal, he would earn respect and acclaim upon his return to his homeland.
Cy: Ond roedd cystadleuaeth gref a rhwystrau i'w wynebu, yn cynnwys yr iaith estron oedd yn ei amgylchynu.
En: But there was fierce competition and obstacles to face, including the foreign language surrounding him.
Cy: Wrth gerdded trwy'r farchnad, dyma Emrys yn taro ar stondin edrych yn addawol, llawn o sbeisys lliwgar.
En: As he walked through the market, Emrys came across a promising-looking stall, full of colorful spices.
Cy: Glynis oedd y masnachwraig, benywaidd a chyfrwys, sy’n gwybod gwerth ei nwyddau.
En: Glynis was the trader, a shrewd and crafty woman who knew the value of her goods.
Cy: Ceisiodd Emrys drafod, ond roedd ei Biwtig yn anwybyddu ei gynnig cyntaf.
En: Emrys attempted to negotiate, but her Biwtig ignored his initial offer.
Cy: Nid oedd yn fater hawdd.
En: It was not an easy task.
Cy: Cafodd Emrys help gan Aeron, cyd-gymrawd masnachwr, a addawodd wneud cais ato gan ddefnyddio’r iaith leol.
En: Emrys received help from Aeron, a fellow trader, who promised to make an offer on his behalf using the local language.
Cy: Aeron oedd gobaith gorau Emrys, gweithredu fel cyfieithydd i helpu trosglwyddo ei gynigion.
En: Aeron was Emrys' best hope, acting as a translator to help convey his propositions.
Cy: Cynigiodd Emrys rannu'r elw yn y dyfodol gyda Glynis i gael ei hystyried.
En: Emrys offered to share future profits with Glynis to be considered.
Cy: Wrth i glydno glywed cyfieithiadau Aeron, roedd Glynis yn cynnig pris uwch.
En: As Glynis heard Aeron's translations, she offered a higher price.
Cy: Ond arhosodd Emrys ddiogel ac apeliodd at ei rhesymoldeb.
En: But Emrys remained steadfast and appealed to her reason.
Cy: Gwelai Glynis ei gyrydd a’i ddyfalbarhad yn wyneb cystadleuaeth a marci a wele masnachwr arall yn cynnig pris mwy ar unwaith.
En: Glynis could see his determination and perseverance in the face of competition, and just then another trader offered an immediately higher price.
Cy: Yn sydyn, newidiodd y fargen.
En: Suddenly, the deal changed.
