KISWAHILI: AMEIACHA FAMILIA YAKE VITI VIKIWA NJE.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chaangalia viti vya familia vilivyoachwa nje na mtu ambaye ndiye mwenye familia. Mtu akivitoa nje viti vya kukalia, huvirudisha ndani ya nyumba, akitaka kuondoka. Lakini basi, mtu huyo akitoka nyumbani kwake bila kuvirudisha ndani vitu hivyo, hubakia pale nje. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, ‘ameviacha viti vya familia yake vikiwa nje.’

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyeikimbia familia yake kwa sababu ya njaa. Mtu huyo, huondoka nyumbani kwake bila kuaga, kwa sababu ya yeye kuondoka kama yuko karibu, kumbe ndivyo anavyoenda mbali.

Yeye hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyeviacha viti vya familia yake nje, kwa sababu naye aliiacha familia ikiwa na njaa. Kumbe basi, kuviingiza ndani vile viti, ni kuipatia chakula familia yake hiyo. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, ‘ameviacha viti vya familia yake vikiwa nje.’

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuvumilia katika matatizo mbalimbali, yanayowakumba maishani mwao, kwa kuyatafutia ufumbuzi wake, ili waweze kuzitunza vizuri familia zao.

ENGLISH: HE HAS LEFT HIS FAMILY WHILE CHAIRS ARE OUTSIDE.

The source of this saying is someone who left his/her home. When someone takes his chairs outside his/her house he/she is expected to return them when leaving. But, there are people who will not dare to return them inside and therefore they are described using the saying that ‘he has left his family while chairs are outside.’

The saying can be compared to a person who flees his/her family because of famine. That peson can leave the family by pretenting that he/she is leaving for a while and soon will be back but in actual fact, he/she is leaving for good. He/she leaves the family suffering from hunger. Bringing in the chairs could mean bringing food for the family.

The saying teaches people about coping with various problems which affect their lives by looking for solutions. This can enable people to take better care of their families.
