Onani, moto!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Moto utentha.

Fire burns.

Umulilo uloca.

Moto umaphika.

Fire cooks.

Umulilo ulepikilwako.

Moto umapatsa thundila.

Fire gives warmth.

Umulilo ulapela icikabilila.

Moto umapatsa kuwala.

Fire gives light.

Umulilo ulapela ulubuto.

Onani, moto!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Moto ndiwabwino.

Fire is wonderful.

Umulilo usuma.

Ndipo ndiwaphamvu.

And it is powerful.

Elo kabili, walikwata amaka.
