"gobaith" in context

Y gobaith oedd y byddai buddsoddiad mewn gwasanaethau yn arwain at system fwy effeithlon a allai fynd i'r afael â'r pryderon parhaus hyn.

It was hoped that an investment in services would result in a more efficient system, which could address these ongoing concerns.

C1

Gydag ymrwymiad Llywodraeth y DU i ddarparu £13.2 biliwn ar gyfer ei chynllun Cartrefi Cynnes, y gobaith oedd y byddai'r holl gyllid canlyniadol amcangyfrifedig o £660 miliwn i Gymru yn cael ei ddefnyddio at yr un diben.

With the UK Government funding commitment of £13.2 billion for its Warm Homes plan, it was hoped that all of the estimated £660 million funding consequential to Wales would be used for the same purpose.

Ac felly, fe wnaethom gymryd rhan gyda phob ewyllys da, yn y gobaith o weithio ar draws llinellau pleidiol i gyflawni hynny, oherwydd pan fo'n fater o fywydau pobl, ni ddylai gwleidyddiaeth fod yn bwysig.

And so we participated in good faith, hoping to work across party lines to achieve just that, because when it comes to people's lives, politics shouldn't matter.

C1

Diolch, Hefin, am ddangos i ni sut i wneud y gwaith hwn gyda chalon, gyda hiwmor a chyda gobaith.

Thank you, Hefin, for showing us how to do this job with heart, with humour and with hope.

B2

Nid ei wasgod, efallai, ond tair rhinwedd Hefin, fel dywedodd y Prif Weinidog: calon, hiwmor, a gobaith.

Not maybe his waistcoat, but the three Hs of Hefin, as the First Minister said: heart, humour and hope.
