KISWAHILI: NIMESHTUKIA WAMETAWANYIKA WAMENIACHA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chaangalia watu ambao wako vitani, ambamo kundi moja huzidiwa, mpaka kufikia hatua ya kukimbia. Kundi hilo, hukimbia kwa sababhu ya kuzidiwa nguvu. Ndiyo maana yule aliyelishinda kundi hilo, husema kwamba, ‘nimeshtukia wametawanyika wameniacha.’

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi nyingi, na kubwa mpaka kuzimaliza, maishani mwake. Mtu huyo, ana nguvu na bidii kubwa ya kumwezesha kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi hizo mpaka mwisho.

Yeye hulinganishwa na mtu yule aliyewashinda maadui zake vitani, mpapa wakakimbia, kwa sababu naye huzitekeleza vizuri kazi hizo mpaka mwisho, ambazo ni nyingi na kubwa.

Mtu huyo, huwafundisha pia wenzake juu ya kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi hizo, kwa bidii kubwa mpaka kuzimaliza. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, ‘nimeshtukia wametawanyika wameniacha.’

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na bidii kubwa ya kuwawezesha kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi nyingi na kubwa, mpaka kuzimaliza, ili waweze kupata maendelea makubwa maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THEY HAVE SUDDENLY RUN AWAY LEAVING ME ALONE.

The essence of this saying is groups of people at war where one group, after being overpowered, escapes. This group runs away to escape death or being captured as captives. The remaining group can describe this situation by using the saying that ‘they have suddenly run away leaving me alone.’

The saying can be compared to a person who does the most and greatest works in his/her life. Such a person has power and effort to enable him/her to carry out those tasks to the end. The saying can also be compared to a man/woman defeated in his/her struggle and decides to run away from competition, leaving others to move on.

The saying teaches people about having a greater effort to enable them to carry out more and more tasks and to finish them. This will enable them to have good life in future.
