KISWAHILI: KWAKE YEYE MWENYE NGUZU KILITOKA CHAKULA, KWAKE YEYE MWENYE KUKILA ULITOKA UTAMU.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chaangalia mtu ambaye ni mkulima. Mtu huyo, huzitekeleza kazi zake kwa kutumia nguvu zake, mpaka kinapatikana chakula. Chakula hicho, huliwa na watu, ambao hupata utamu wa kutoka kwenye chakula hicho.  Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘kwake yeye mwenye nguvu kilitoka chakula, kwake yeye mwenye kukila ulitoka utamu.’

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye, hujitahidi kufanya kazi kwa bidii kubwa, mpaka hufaulu kupata mafanikio mengi maishani mwake. Mafanikio hayo, huweza kupadilisha maisha ya familia yake, kutoka kwenye umaskini hadi kwenye utajiri. Mtu huyo, ana bidii kubwa yiwezayo kumsaidia katika kuzitekeleza vizuiri kazi zake hizo.

Yeye hulinganishwa na mkulima, yule mwenye nguvu, aliyepata chakula cha kutosha kuwalisha watu wake, mpaka wakapata mafanikio mengi yaliyobadilisha maisha ya familia yake. Mtu huyo, naye alipata mafanikio yaliyoiondoa familia yake kutoka kwenye umaskini hadi kwenye utajiri. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, ‘kwake yeye mwenye nguvu kilitoka chakula, kwake yeye mwenye kukila ulitoka utamu.’

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na bidii ya kuwawezesha kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi yawezayo kuziondolea umaskini familia zao.

ENGLISH: TO HIM WHO HAS ENERGY COMES FOOD, TO HIM WHO HAS EATEN COMES SWEETNES.

The source of this saying is a farmer and his/her strength to produce food stuff.  The farmer carries out his/her duties of farming to make sure that he/she harvests for consumption. It is the eater of the food that will appreciate the sweetness of the food produced by the farmer. That is why people use the saying that ‘to him who has energy comes food, to him who has eaten comes sweetness’ to mean the way the two people depend on each other in the whole process of food production.

The saying can be compared to a person who works hard to the point of success; until you achieve great success in life. That success can change his/her family’s life, from poverty to wealth. The saying can also be compared to a powerful man/woman who has enough food to feed his/her people. The consumption of his/her produce can change his/her family’s life. These changes can include the shift from poverty to wealth.

The saying teaches people about being diligent. People have to carry out their duties in a manner that enables them to have good harvest in future for the betterment of their families.
