KISWAHILI: KWENYE MCHEZO WA TIARA HAWAKASIRIKI.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo, chaangalia mchezo wa tiara. Tiara hiyo, hupigwa na kwenda juu kama mpila. Ikipigwa hivyo, yaweza kumpiga yeyote, inaporudi chini. Yule itakayempiga asikasirike, kwa sababu ya yeye kutakiwa kuvumilia tu, kama sheria ya mchezo huo inavyodai. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘kwenye mchezo wa tiara hawakasiriki.’

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huvumilia anapopata matatizo katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yake. Mtu huyo, huzijali kwa kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake, kwa sababu hizo, ndizo zinazompatia mali za kumwezesha kuiendesha vizuri familia yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale wachezao tiara, kwa sababu naye huvumilia anapoumia wakati wa utekelezaji wa majukumu yake. Yeye huyatekeleza majukumu hayo kwa uvumilivu mkubwa, hadi mwisho. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, ‘kwenye mchezo wa tiara hawakasiriki.’

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uvumilivu katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi, katika kazi zao hizo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: IN NHEGA’S GAME PLAYERS DO NOT GET ANGRY

The source of this saying is the nhega game. In the game, when the nhega is struck it goes up like a ball and when it falls down it can hit anyone around. The rules of this game say that anyone hit by the nhega is not supposed to become angry. This is why people are being forewarned that if one wants to play this game he/she is supposed to abide by the game rules by not becoming angry when hit by the nhega.

The saying can be compared to a person who perseveres when he/she experiences difficulties in performing his/her duties. This person cares for himself/herself and he/she does his/her works well. He/she does so because he/she knows that it is this job that makes his/her family survive. Therefore, he/she has to tolerate whatever condition he/she faces in the work place. Patience is what makes him/her live well in the society.

This saying teaches people to be patient in carrying out their responsibilities. In so doing, they can achieve more in life.
