KISWAHILI: TUKIMBIENI USIKU UMEZIDI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo chatokea kwenye hali ya kujihimiza kukimbia kwa watu ambao, usiku umezidi kuingia wakiwa bado safarini. Watu hao wako safarini kuelekea sehemu fulani.

Lakini basi, usiku umeingia wakaona kwamba watapata matatizo wakiendelea kutembea tu. Kumbe yafaa wakimbie ili waweze guyakwepa matatizo hayo. Ndiyo maana watu hao, walihimizana kwa kusema kwamba, ‘tukimbieni usiku umezidi.’

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao wako pamoja. Waliona kwamba maneno wanaoyaongelea yamekuwa mabaya, au wamesingiziwa neno baya, wakaamua, waondoke pale kwa kukimbia. Kusingiziwa huko kwafanana na usiku uliozidi sana. Ndiyo maana watu hao husema kwamba, ‘tukimbieni usiku umezidi.’

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuachana na maneno yale yawezayo kuwaletea matatizo, ili waweze kuyaepuka matatizo hayo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: LET US RUN FROM THE COMING DARKNESS.

The source of the above saying comes from the urge to run away from darkness. This happens to people who appear to be walking to somewhere and they are scared of darkness that is about to fall. They know that walking at night might cause some problems to them and would like to avoid them and therefore they have to run and reach the destination before darkness falls.

The saying can be compared to those people who appear to hate evils in the society. Such people, when they realize that what they are doing is likely to affect them in future, they can refrain from doing it. Such people can describe this scenario using the saying that ‘let us run from the coming darkness.’

The saying teaches people to abandon acts that can bring them problems.
