la'edi'u cu vajni lo sicko'o [bi'unai] .e loi drata bi'u
la'edi'u cu vajni lo na'e sicko'o [bi'unai] .e loi drata bi'u

Though I think I would use those exact phrasings only in constrast to each
other.  More likely the following would be sufficient:

la'edi'u cu vajni loi sicko'o .eji'a loi drata
la'edi'u cu vajni loi ji'a sicko'o

I considered trying a version based on ra'ucu'i, but am not sure it fits
the semantics of the given example.
