Tala, kesi!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Kesi kochang’a.

Fire burns.

Umulilo ulooca.

Kesi katelekan’ga.

Fire cooks.

Umulilo ulabomba mukwipika.

Kesi katatishan’ga.

Fire gives warmth.

Umulilo ulapeela icikabilila.

Kesi katwikan’ga chezhezhi.

Fire gives light.

Umulilo ulapeela ulubuto.

Tala, kesi!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Kesi kakawahi.

Fire is wonderful.

Umulilo usuma.

Kahanawa kakweti in’govu.

And it is powerful.

Elyo kabili walikwata amaka.
