KISWAHILI: MJINGA ALIFUNDISHA WEREVU.

Chanzo cha msemo huu chaangalia ujinga wa mtu fulani. Mtu huyo huonesha ujinga wake kwa kupitia tabia yake ambayo ni mbaya. Yeye hutenda matendo mabaya kwa wenzake ambao ni werevu.

 Kwa hiyo, watu walio werevu humwogopa mjinga huyo, kwa sababu ya mwenendo wake ambao watu hao hukatazana kuuiga maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana watu husema ‘mjinga alifundisha werevu.’

Msemo huu hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyeyaona matatizo wanayoyapata wajinga maishani mwao, hadi akaamua kubaki katika werevu wake muda wa maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huijali vizuri familia yake, kwa sababu hataki watu wake wayapate matatizo yale wanayoyapata watu walio wajinga. Kwa hiyo basi, yeye huweza kuwafundisha wenzake  kuishi katika tabia njema kwa kuwakumbusha matatizo yale waliyo nayo wenye tabia mbaya katika maisha yao.  Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘mjinga alifundisha werevu.’

Msemo huu hufundisha watu kuacha tabia mbaya katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuishi vizuri na wenzao maishani.

ENGLISH: AN IMBECILE TAUGHT THE INTELLIGENT.

The origin of this saying is ignorance of someone. The ignorant person shows his/er ignorance through his evil behavior. He does evil deeds to his wise fellows. Therefore, the prudent are afraid of this imbecie, because of his/her conduct, which they have sworn not to imitate in their lives. That’s why people say ‘an imbecile taught the intelligent.’

The saying is used comparatively to refer to person who witnessed the plight of the imbecile in his/her life, so much that he/she decided to remain in control of his/her life. The person does take good care of his/her family, because he does not want his/her people to suffer the same problems that imbeciles experience.

Therefore, he or she can teach his or her colleagues about living a good life, by reminding them of the problems they have in their lives. That is why people say, ‘an imbecile taught the intelligent.’

The saying teaches people to refrain from bad habits in their lives, so that they can live well with their peers.
