KISWAHILI: NI HERI KUUMIA KWA KUJIKWAA KULIKO KUSAGIKA.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo chatokea kwenye ulinganishaji wa watu wawili, aliyejikwa akaumia kidole, na yule aliyefariki. Kumbe ni afadhali yule aliyeumia kidole kwa kujikwaa, kwa sababu huyo atatibiwa na kupona, lakini basi, yule aliyefariki hawezi kutibiwa mpaka akarudishwa duniani.

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa watu waamuao kutenda matendo mema ya kuwasaidia watu wenye shida kwa kutumia mali zao kwa lengo la kuwarudishia afya na kuwasomesha watoto wao. Watu hao wafahamu kwamba, mali hupatikana lakini uhai una gharama, hivyo ni vigumu kuupata.

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu  kuwa na maamuzi mema maishani mwao. Maamuzi hayo yatawasaidia katika kuzitumia vizuri mali zao kwa kuwasaidia wenzao walioko kwenye matatizo kiasi cha kutosha kuulinda uhai wao.

2 Petro 2:14;

Mathayo 5:27-30.

ENGLISH: IT IS BETTER TO HURT ONESELF BY STUMBLING THAN TO BE CRUSHED.

The origin of this proverb is a comparison of two people, one with an injured finger and the other one dead. It is better for the person injured by stumbling, because he or she will be healed, but the dead one will not be healed to the point of coming back to life on earth.

The proverb is used comparatively to refer to people who decide to do good deeds to help other people who are in need by using their resources to restore health and educate their children. People know that property can be found, but life is expensive and hard to find.

The proverb teaches people to make good decisions in their lives. These decisions will help them in managing their assets better by helping their less fortunate friends to save their lives.
