Onani, moto!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Moto utentha.

Fire burns.

Umulilo ulooca.

Moto umaphika.

Fire cooks.

Umulilo ulabomba mukwipika.

Moto umapatsa kuthuma.

Fire gives warmth.

Umulilo ulapeela icikabilila.

Moto umapatsa kuwala.

Fire gives light.

Umulilo ulapeela ulubuto.

Onani, moto!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Moto ndiwabwino.

Fire is wonderful.

Umulilo usuma.

Ndipo ndiwaphamvu.

And it is powerful.

Elyo kabili walikwata amaka.
