KISWAHILI: MWENYE KISA HACHECHEMEI

Chanzo cha methali hiyo chaangalia mtu mwenye kisa fulani. Mtu huyo huwa hivyo kwa maana ya kujulikana alivyo. Hawezi kujificha mtu  huyo. Kilema chake hakiwezi kufichika kwa watu. Ndiyo maana watu husema, ´mwenye kisa hachechemei.´

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa mtu ambaye ana kilema ya kutenda maovu katika jamii. Mtu huyo hujulikana afikiriavyo kwa kuwafanyia mabaya wenzake, katika maisha yake. Wale wanaomfahamu jinsi alivyo, humwambia kwamba, ´mwenye kisa hachechemei.´

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha kutenda maovu katika jamii, ili watu hao waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: YOU CANNOT HIDE YOUR BAD CHARACTER

The saying stems from a story of a person with bad character. A person with such behaviour cannot hide his/her character because it is part of him/her. That is why people say, “you cannot hide your bad character.”

The proverb is comparable to a person with a habit of doing bad things in the society. Such person’s bad behaviour is known by others. Those who know him/her, tell him/her that, “you cannot hide your bad character.”

The proverb teaches people to stop doing evil things in their society so that they can live in peace with others.
