Bha mi ag innse dhuibh mun turas agam don Chuimrigh, agus mun t-seann sgeulachd 鈥楳ath Mac Mhathonwy鈥� a bhuineas do na Mabinogion. Rugadh dithis leanabh do dh鈥橝rianrhod 鈥� Dylan (fear a鈥� chuain) agus fear eile air nach robh ainm. Dh鈥檉h脿s an d脿rna gille m貌r is tapaidh. Latha a bha seo, bha br脿thair Arianrhod, Gwydion, a鈥� d猫anamh air caisteal a pheathar, Caer Arianrhod. Bha an d霉n sin ri taobh a鈥� chladaich.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Lean an gille air. Nuair a r脿inig iad an caisteal, thuirt Arianrhod, 鈥楥貌 e an gille seo?鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥楧o mhac fh猫in,鈥� fhreagair Gwydion. Bha Arianrhod m矛-thoilichte gun tuirt e sin. Bha n脿ire oirre nach robh i na h-貌igh tuilleadh. 鈥楧猫 an t-ainm a th鈥� air?鈥� ars ise.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥楥han eil ainm air fhathast,鈥� dh鈥檃idich Gwydion.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥楢gus chan fhaigh e ainm,鈥� thuirt Arianrhod, 鈥榤ura toir mi fh矛n ainm dha.鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Bha fearg air Gwydion agus dh鈥檉halbh e leis a鈥� ghille. Rinn iad b脿ta draoidheil le feamainn. Ghabh iad riochd ghreusaichean orra fh猫in. Rinn iad air Caer Arianrhod anns a鈥� bh脿ta.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Chuir Arianrhod teachdairean a dh鈥檌onnsaigh a鈥� bh脿ta. Thill iad don d霉n aice agus dh鈥檌nns iad dh矛 gur e greusaichean a bh鈥� air b貌rd.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥楳a-th脿,鈥� arsa Arianrhod, 鈥榯hoiribh tomhas meud mo chasan dhaibh. Iarraibh orra br貌gan a dh猫anamh dhomh.鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Rinn Gwydion na br貌gan. Ach rinn e ro mh貌r iad a dh鈥檃ona-ghnothach.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥楾ha iad ro mh貌r,鈥� thuirt Arianrhod nuair a dh鈥檉heuch i 辞颈谤谤鈥� iad. 鈥業arraibh air na greusaichean br貌gan nas lugha a dh猫anamh dhomh.鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 An turas seo, rinn Gwydion paidhir eile dhi a bha ro bheag. Thill na teachdairean a dh鈥檌nnse dha gun robh iad ro bheag.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥楿ill, cha d猫an mi paidhir eile dhi gus am faic mi a casan le mo sh霉ilean fh猫in,鈥� thuirt Gwydion.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Th脿inig Arianrhod chun a鈥� bh脿ta. 鈥楲atha math dhut,鈥� thuirt Gwydion. Cha do dh鈥檃ithnich Arianrhod e. Aig a鈥� mhionaid sin, nochd dreathan-donn. Thilg an gille 貌g clach air. Bhuail a鈥� chlach an dreathan-donn eadar f猫ith-l霉thaidh agus cn脿imh.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥楪u dearbh, 鈥檚 ann aig Lleu, an gille b脿n sin, a tha l脿mh sgileil,鈥� ars Arianrhod.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 鈥樷�橲 ann,鈥� dh鈥檃ontaich Gwydion, 鈥榓gus tha thu air ainm a thoirt dha ge b鈥� oil leat. Is esan Lleu Llaw Gyffes, an 鈥済ille b脿n le l脿mh sgileil鈥�.鈥�

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Leis na faclan sin, dh鈥檉halbh an draoidheachd agus dh鈥檉halbh am b脿ta. Na h-脿ite cha robh ann ach feamainn a鈥� chladaich. Bha an dreach t霉sail air Gwydion agus air Lleu. Bha Lleu gu bhith ainmeil. Aig a鈥� cheann thall, dh鈥櫭╥rich e gu bhith na mh貌r-mhaor air Gwynedd.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Taobh a-staigh ceithir cilemeatair de chladach na Cuimrigh, tha 脿iteachan ann a tha ag ainmeachadh Dylan, Lleu agus Arianrhod. Agus tha baile-fearainn faisg air l脿imh air a bheil 鈥楤ryn Gwydion鈥� cuideachd 鈥� sin Cnoc Ghwydion.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Tha Dylan air a chuimhneachadh ann an carraig mh貌r air a鈥� chladach air a bheil Maen Dylan. Gu tuath air sin, tha seann d霉n os cionn na tr脿ghad air a bheil Dinas Dinlle. Tha sin a鈥� ciallachadh D霉n Lleu. Sin, a r猫ir an sge貌il, far an deach a thogail an聽 d猫idh dha ainm fhaighinn.

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Agus a-muigh aig muir, chithear clachan aig 矛sle-mhara air a bheil Caer Arianrhod. Anns na m矛le bliadhna mu dheireadh, tha a鈥� mhuir air an seann d霉n aig Arianrhod a shlugadh. Ach chithear fhathast e. Tha e a鈥� toirt na sgeulachd 鈥楳ath Mac Mhathonwy鈥� be貌 do Chuimrich an latha an-diugh.

Puing-ch脿nain na Litreach: nuair a dh鈥檉heuch i 辞颈谤谤鈥� iad: when she tried them on [her]. There is a convention concerning adjacent words, the first of which ends in a vowel, the second of which starts with a vowel, to avoid two adjacent vowels. It is that we replace the first vowel with an apostrophe (thus oirre becomes 辞颈谤谤鈥�). This can be very useful for reading a script as we tend to elide the vowels in speech in that way.

Gn脿thas-cainnt na Litreach: Ghabh iad riochd ghreusaichean orra fh猫in: they took on the appearance (disguised themselves) of shoemakers.
