Mone, mudiro!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Mudiro ne kutumeka.

Fire burns.

Umulilo ulooca.

Mudiro ne kutereka.

Fire cooks.

Umulilo ulabomba mukwipika.

Mudiro ne kutapa ghughenyu.

Fire gives warmth.

Umulilo ulapeela icikabilila.

Mudiro kutapa thishe.

Fire gives light.

Umulilo ulapeela ulubuto.

Mone, mudiro!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Mudiro ne kutetukitha.

Fire is wonderful.

Umulilo usuma.

Awo ne ngcamu.

And it is powerful.

Elyo kabili walikwata amaka.
