Nazuhanga niku tumbula mulilo.

I wake up and make fire.

Ndabuuka no kukosha umulilo.

Nabilisanga mezi.

I boil some water.

Ndakafya ameenshi.

Na pumanga likota zakuapeisa.

I chop the firewood.

Ndateba inkuni.

Na kundunganga mwa mupika.

I stir the pot.

Ndakumba mu mpooto.

Na fiyelanga mwa ndu.

I sweep the floor.

Ndapyanga.

Natapisanga mikeke.

I wash the dishes.

Ndasuka imbale.

King’i zeni sebelezanga katata… … munyenaka yena inge apatehile kubapala?

Why do I work so hard… … when my brother is busy playing?

Muulandunshi mbombesesha ifi… ilyo ninshi ndume yandi aleeyangalafye?
