Lukano lulondakho luli lwe linani.

The story that follows is of an ogre.

Yabao endalo ndala bantu abele bechule musikuri siosi sie lirambo lio musakhulu mwasame.

One day a lot of people had gathered at Mwasame's field.

Endalo enga yino.

A day like today

Eli omusakhulu yuno khekekhoyela saano kamakali niko wele saba amukholele.

This old man is celebrating a lot of things that God has done to him.

Babantu vava khavemba chinyimbo.

People were singing.

Lulwimbo lwaba kholwimba lwaba, "Mwana wa mberi bayaye."

The song that was being sung was "mwana wa mberi bayaye (first born boys)."

Mwana wamberi musikhoyela.

They celebrate the birth of the first born.

Okwo nikwo kumwenya nikwo buli omundu kaba nakhakemba esuku ye lukhataru khubela yaba esuku yakhataru khukhwama omwana Rembo enga kasalibwa.

That was the song that everyone was singing on the third day because it was the third day since Rembo was born.

Endalo yino endayi khubela yokesia eli oumusakhulu Mwasame sali omukumba taa.

This day is good because it depicts that Mwasame (the old man) is not barren.

Abele kabeyisha omukhana waba enju ya Wenani khwama mumbo mwa masaba mulirambo lia Sudi khale akho bakoloni nabakhecha ta.

He had married a lady from the house of Wenani from Masaba before colonialists came.

Omulosi wo munju muno naye, Mayi Namaemba busangafu bumwira khubela khakekhoyela khwibulwa omwana webweni ingawa omukhana sabamuwa liria ta lakini niye omwana na nyasaye amuelesie.

The wife of this house, Namaemba is happy because she is celebrating the birth firstborn but a lady is not respected that much but for her, God has given a child.

Rembo kachowa khangu khangu nga omwana omubele.

Rembo grew faster as the firstborn.

Basoreri khukhwama mumbo nende ebunangwe.

Men from Mumbo and Ebunangwe.

Chimbeka ne chimbeka becha khuselela Rembo.

All sides came to ask Rembo a hand into a relationship.

Omusakhulu karao kamalakano ali omwana wewe omubele akhwalikha khumudu wa atayi mala abekho omuyinda.

The Old Man made an agreement that his firstborn gets married to a wealthy person from far and must be wealthy.

Basecha baja khwicha, wekhuranga kama mumbo omulei mala omunyelele oli lunyasi.

Men started coming, the first one from Mumbo, tall and thin like grass.

Mwasame kamuloba,ali khano sakhanyala khwilisia tawe.

Mwasame declined on the ground that he can not feed himself.

"Omwana wase aba akhafwe enjala."

"My child might die of hunger."

Wekhabili nga kecha kaba nende enda embofu sana.

The second person had a very big stomach.

Mwasame kaloba ali akhamalile omwana wewe biakhulia khubela alia lukali.

Mwasame refused on the ground that he will finish food for the daughter because he eats a lot.

Olondakho kecha nende esuti ya Njonjo email ne siraro siwanga.

The subsequent one had a Njonjo's like suite with a white pair of shoes.

Omusakhulu Mwasame kakubalia lakini kamubolela ali ache mala akobole nende eemail ye chikhafu kamakhumi kabili ne chinne.

Mwaseme accepted but told him to go but return with the dowry of 24 cows.

Omusoleli yuno ata lisina liong'ene sakabola tawe, karura anje kidogo, kesendakho mupaka khungila nakholola likhaso libofu sana.

This young man didn't even introduce himself, he stepped out a little, moved to the road and produced a big spatum.

Chikhafu chamamo mwikhaso omwo.

Cows came from the spat.

Kalonda mupaka mungo.

He escorted them up to the compound.

Omuakhulu mwasame kamunamuna mala kabola ali omuseli ache mala busiayo.

Mwasame was happy and told the young man to leave and come back the following day.

Eche abukule omukhana khulondekhana ne kumwima kwa batayi kamakhua kano koosi kekholelekha mala mayi womwana sekamanyile tawe.

To pick the lady in regards to the culture of the forefathers, all these things happened without the knowledge of the child's mother.

Khale bamayi abele sabaloma khuniko omusakhulu olumilemo tawe.

Women were not allowed to comment on what men had spoken.

Endalo yalondakho,omuseleli kecha nende esuuti yewe ya Njonjo.

The following day, the young man came in his Njonjo-like suite.

Eyo busa.

That one.

Kacha kekhala musimba ya basoleli simbi nende egeti ye lumako lwa lantana.

He went and sat in the boys cottage near the lantana fence.

Bamurerera echai ne chimaito.

He was brought tea together with groundnuts.

Kalia bioosi mala kamila bikombe nende khabinika khe chai, omukhana kecha khumucheka kesieyo bindu muchokoni.

He ate everything and swallowed the cups together with the kettle, the girl came to look for him to take utensils back to the kitchen.

Kanyola twa, kasila busa, barera biakhulia.

She found that they were not there, food was brought.

Kusoleli kuno kwalia mala kwamila bisaani biosi.

This man ate and swallowed all the plates.

Kwalinda kwaluwa. kwabola kuli

He awaited for long. he said that

Kwenya khucha khangu khangu, nebasili kwamila khamesa khoosi nende khasimba khe babana khubela sisilima siatilile, kwabolelela omusakhulu kuli kuche nende omukhana.

he want to leave very fast, suddenly he swallowed the small table together with the boys cottage because it is already dark, he told the Old Man that he want to go with the girl.

Omusakhuliu nasisileka kwamema omukhana kwacha naye.

As the Old Man was still figuring out he carried the lady and went with her.

Bacha khungila basimane busa, kwola khungila kwafura kabisaa kwekela linani, kwenya khulia omukhana oyo.

Going along the road loving each other, reaching somewhere on the road he changed his body to become an orgre/monster, he wanted to eat that lady.

Khukhabi endayi, khawandaye khakhana khaba khalondilekho.

By good luck, her small sister was following them.

Khakukula mala enga kwesindukha sana, kwakalusia kumubili kwomundu.

She screamed and when he [ku: huge creature/monster] got frightened/surprised, he brought back his humanly body.

Bacha enga bola munju khana kha khano ekholo ye bamanani,kwafura lundi mala kwanja khulia omukhana wefwe Rembo.

They went on, reaching the house, this child from the orgre's tribe,he changed his body again and started eating girl Rembo.

Rembo.

Rembo.

Rembo karamu luungu, kwamuluma kiminwa ne kukhalila kemumala.

Rembo screamed. He bit her mouth, lips, and cut from the intestines.

Bachile chimbilo.

They went running.

Khabalondilekho.

She followed them.

Khakukula kwesindukha mala kwakobosia kumubili kwomundu,bacha enga bola munju.

She screamed and he was surprised and he returned his humanly body, going, as they arrived at the house.

Khana khano ekholo ya bamanani, kwafura lundi mala kwanja khulia omukhana wefwe Rembo, kwamulia kumwa nekukhalila khamumala.

This child, the orgre tribe. He changed his body again and started eating our girl Rembo. He bit her mouth, lips, and cut from the intestines.

Khakhana khano bachile chimbilo enyuma wabwe mwasame baada yekhumanya ali kuno kunani.

This small girl went running behind them,Mwasame on realizing that this is an ogre.

Kwatima kwacha lakini kimiezi nga kabira kimikali, khana Rembo khanyola kumusiko kwe linani.

He ran away but after many months had passed, Rembo got pregnant of the ogre.

Khwamila ao omwana omukhana sabela yeng'ene tawe, lazima ache nende owasie omutiti lundi lazima mayi amanyekho mipango kie mungo sana sana khubela.

From then, a girl child can not get married on her own, she must be accompanied by her small sibling and it is a must for the mother to know the plans in the family mostly because of marriage.

Lia, mwisho, omwana kekhalikhe. Murio muno lulwenolu nilwo lukano lwase.

Lastly, the girl must be resilient. Thank you. That is my story.
