UZURALAJI WA CHINI CHINI WAKO NG’WANA NTAMBI UTAKULETELEZA KUCHOMWA MOTO.

Chanzo cha msemo huo chaangalia mwenendo wa Mwana Ntambi. Mwana Ntambi huyo, alikuwa mzururaji sana. Alikuwa akiingia hovyo kwenye familia ya za watu. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘uzururaji wako mwana ntambi utakuleteleza kuchomwa moto.’

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye anamwenendo mbaya maishani mwake. Mtu huyo ni muongo, na mzinifu ambaye watu wamemchukia kwa hasabu ya tabia yake  hiyo mbaya. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘uzururaji wako Mwana ntambi utakuleteleza kuchomwa moto.’

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia mbaya, ili waweze kujiepusha kutoka kwenye tabizo la kuchomwa moto.

ENGLISH: YOUR WANDERINGS WILL DESTROY YOU.

The source of the above saying looks at the behaviour of Ntambi’s son. The son of Ntambi is described as being a loiter. To warn him against wandering, people could use the saying that ‘your wanderings will destroy you’ in order to make him behave accordingly.

The saying can be compared to a person who is unsettled in his/her life. Such a person can be described as a liar, hypocrite and untrustworthy.

The saying teaches people to stop bad habits. They should know that there is a bad ending for the evils they commit in life.
