KISWAHILI: NIMETEGEMEA NGUZO.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chaangalia utegemeaji wa nguzo. Nguzo hiyo ni mti ambao hukatwa vizuri na kutengenezwa nguzo ambayo huwa na nguvu sana katika kuzilinda nyumba zao. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘nimetegemea nguzo.’

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye humtegemea Mungu katika kuishi kwake. Mtu huyo, anafahamu kwamba, Mungu Ndiye mweza ya yote, kwa sababu Ndiye aliyeviumba vyote.

Yeye huwafundisha pia wenzake, juu ya kumtegemea Mungu aliye na nguvu za kuzilinda vizuri familia zao. Maisha yake, huwakumbusha wenzake kwamba, mlinzi wa mashamba yao, ni Mungu awezaye kuwazuia hata wadudu kula mazao yao. Ndiyo maana mtu huyo huwa anawaambia watu kwamba, ‘nimetegemea nguzo.’

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kumtegemea Mungu katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, na katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao, siku zote.

ENGLISH:  I HAVE DEPENDED ON A PILLAR

The foundation of the above saying looks at the dependency of someone on a pillar. The pillar is a tree that is neatly trimmed to become a strong post enough to effectively support houses. That is why people say, ‘I have depended on a pillar.’

The saying is compared to the person who trusts God in life. Such person knows that God is the Almighty who made everything.

He also teaches other people about trusting in God who has the power to better protect their families. The life of such person reminds them that the keeper of their fields is God who can stop even pests from eating their crops. That is why he/she often tells people that, ‘I have depended on a pillar.’

The saying teaches people about trusting God in the execution of their responsibilities, in their lives, so that they can live in peace with one another throughout their lives.
