KISWAHILI: SASA USIKU UMEKULA GUDULU (SASA USIKU NI MBAYA).

Chanzo cha methali hiyo chaangalia usiku ule uliokula gudulu. Maana yake huo ni usiku mbaya. Usiku huo ni wa kusikitisha kwa sababu ya kutokea kwa tukio ambalo ni kubwa kwenye kijiji fulani.

Tukio hilo laweza kuwa la kushangaza kwa sababu ni tukio geni katika maeneo hayo. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba ‘sasa usiku umekula gudulu.’

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao kijiji chao kimepata msiba wa kufiwa na kiongozi aliyesifika sana. Tukio hilo ni kubwa katika kijiji hicho. Watu hao husikitika kwa sababu kiongozi huyo alikuwa anawaongaza watu kwa upendo. Ndiyo maana watu hao husema kwamba, ‘sasa usiku umekula gudulu, maana yake usiku umekuwa mbaya.’

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwatendea mema watu wao, na kufarijiana pamoja wakati wa misiba, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: NOW THE NIGHT HAS BEEN BAD.

The source of the above saying is the night that ruined the life of people in a certain village. In that night, a certain sad event happened. In commemorating that night, people can say ‘the night has been bad.’

The saying can be compared to villages that happened to experience some traumatic events such as losing some important figures (for example, well-known leaders) which can shock the entire village. Villagers can be saddened by the event and, in summarizing the night that their beloved leader passed on, they can use the saying that ‘the night was bad.’

The proverb teaches people to do good to their people. They need to comfort each other during disasters in order to have a happy life all the time.
