KISWAHILI: USILE UTUMBO HARUSI ITASUASUA

Chanzo cha msemo huo chatokea kwenye ulaji wa utumbo wa mifugo. Zamani ilikuwepo miiko ya watu wa zamani, ya vijana kutokula utumbo. Utumbo huo uliliwa na vikongwe kwa vile hawana meno. Vijana hawakuruhusiwa kula kwa ya kuepuka kuolea mbali. Waliambiwa kwamba, wakila wataolea mbali. Ndiyo maana watu wa zamani waliwaambia vijana kwamba, ‘usile utumbo harusi itasuasua.’

Msemo huo hufananishwa kwa watu ambao wana malezi mema ya kufundisha watu wao namna ya kuwaheshimu wakubwa wao. Watu hao hutumia uelewa wao vizuri katika kuwaachia watoto wao, malezi ya kuwa na tabia njema za kuwawezesha kuishi vizuri na watu. Ndiyo maana watu wao huwaambia hivi, ‘usile utumbo harusi itasuasua.’

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwatunza vizuri watu wao, kwa kuishi nao kwa heshima. Maisha hayo yatawasaidia watu wao katika kuwatunza vizuri wazee wao.

 

ENGLISH: NEVER EAT OFFALS/ INTESTINE, YOUR MARRIAGE WILL HAVE PROBLEMS

The source of this saying is eating animal offals/intestines. In the past there were taboos forbidding young people from eating offals/intestines. The offals/intestines were eaten by the elderly people who are toothless. The people warned young people against eating offals/intestines by saying, “never eat offals/intestines, your marriage will have problems.”

The saying is similar to people who have good morals for teachimg their young people to respect their elders. These people use their knowledge to teach their people good morals so as to enable them to get along well with other people. That is why they tell their people that, “never eat offals/intestines, your marriage will have problems.”

The saying teaches people how to respect others. This will help children to take good care of older people
