Mona, mujilo!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Mujilo usokañana.

Fire burns.

Umulilo ulooca.

Mujilo uteeka kajo.

Fire cooks.

Umulilo ulabomba mukwipika.

Mujilo upana kyuya.

Fire gives warmth.

Umulilo ulapeela icikabilila.

Mujilo upana kyeya.

Fire gives light.

Umulilo ulapeela ulubuto.

Mona, mujilo!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Mujilo wawama.

Fire is wonderful.

Umulilo usuma.

Kabiji mujilo uji nangovu.

And it is powerful.

Elyo kabili walikwata amaka.
