Story Transcript:
Cy: Wrth i'r haul setlo dros orielau godidog Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd, roedd gwaith carwriaeth y tair cymeriad mewn tŷ ysbryd o ysbrydoliaeth newydd a chynhysgaeth gynhanesyddol yn hollgofodol.
En: As the sun set over the magnificent galleries of Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd, the work of courtship among the three characters in a house of spiritual inspiration and prehistoric heritage was all-encompassing.
Cy: Roedd Ioan, curadur brwd gyda pharch mawr at hanes Cymru, yn sefyll yn y canol.
En: Ioan, an enthusiastic curator with great respect for the history of Wales, stood in the middle.
Cy: Roedd ei olwg yn brathu â brwdfrydedd wrth i ef ddod a chontractwrion i osod taflunyddion modern efo y cerfluniau hynafol o gerrig.
En: His gaze was filled with enthusiasm as he brought in contractors to install modern projectors alongside the ancient stone sculptures.
Cy: Roedd Ioan yn edrych ymlaen at Sostis yr Haf, cyfle i uno'r hen a'r newydd trwy ddefnyddio technoleg i ddod â'r arteffactau hyn yn fyw.
En: Ioan was looking forward to the Summer Solstice, an opportunity to unite the old and the new by using technology to bring these artifacts to life.
Cy: Yn agos ato, Carys, intern mwyn ei natur, yn gwylio pob symudiad gyda llygad dysgu.
En: Close to him was Carys, a naturally pleasant intern, watching every movement with a learning eye.
Cy: Roedd hi'n amser dysgu am dreftadaeth ei gwlad, a chreu cysylltiadau modern gyda'r gorffennol.
En: It was time for her to learn about her country's heritage and to create modern connections with the past.
Cy: Ar y llaw arall, roedd Emyr, y hanesydd profiadol, yn sefyll yn gefn y neuadd.
En: On the other hand, Emyr, the experienced historian, stood at the back of the hall.
Cy: Roedd ei lygaid hallt yn ystyried y cyfleusterau newydd gyda amheuaeth.
En: His critical eyes surveyed the new facilities with skepticism.
Cy: "Rhaid yw cadw stori yr hen fel y bu," meddai, ei lais yn llenwi'r gofod rhwng cariad i'r hen a'r newydd.
En: "The story of the past must be preserved as it was," he said, his voice filling the space between a love for the old and the new.
Cy: Roedd ei farn yn glir: yr hanes ydy'r hanes.
En: His opinion was clear: history is history.
Cy: Dechreuodd tirwedd y oriel ddisgleirio wrth i Ioan benderfynu troi ar y taflunyddion i greu argraff flaenllaw.
En: The landscape of the gallery began to shine as Ioan decided to turn on the projectors to make a prominent impression.
Cy: Roedd Carys, â'i gwybod bod rhywbeth mwy yn y dyfodol, a helpu.
En: Carys, knowing there was something more in the future, helped.
Cy: Ond, chefai hi'n anodd beth oedd y ffordd orau i ateb y sefyllfa, ei deimladau'n gwrthdaro â'r amgythiad rhwng Ioan ac Emyr.
En: Yet, she found it difficult to decide the best way to respond to the situation, her feelings clashing with the tension between Ioan and Emyr.
Cy: Wrth i noswyl yr arddangosfa agosáu, roedd yr adnewyddu wedi cyffroi, ond roedd cyffro fel mwg ysu tân yn cael ei dorri gan fethiant technegol annisgwyl – fe ddisgleiriodd deallusion Ioan gyda llawn golchiadau myrdd o fewn eiliad.
En: As the evening of the exhibition approached, the renovation had excited, but excitement was like the smoke of a burning fire cut short by an unexpected technical failure—Ioan's insights flashed with a myriad of washes in a second.
Cy: Fe ddaeth tensiwn i'r brig, wrth i Ioan a Emyr wynebu e
