KISWAHILI: IKULU HAINA NGOMA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chatokea kwenye maisha ya familia isiyo na ghala. Ghala ni kitu cha kuwekea chakula kama vile mahindi, na mtama kwa ajili ya kutumia kwa wakati ujao. Ghala hilo hufanana na ngoma.

Zamani kulikuwa na utamaduni wa kutunzia chakula cha famalia kwenye ghala. Hivyo, mzee wa familia ambaye hana ghala maana yake familia yake haina chakula. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, ‘ikulu haina ngoma.’

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huishi bila chakula chakutosha kuilisha familia yake. Mtu huyo, hajibidishi kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yake, ambayo yaweza kumpatia chakula cha kutumia kwa muda wa siku nyingi zijazo.

Yeye hufanana na familia ambayo haina ghala, ambayo ni familia isiyo na chakula kingi, kwa sababu naye huishi bila kuwa na chakula cha kutosha kuilisha familia yake, kwa muda wa siku nyingi zijazo. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, ‘ikulu haina ngoma.’

 Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kujibisha kuyatekeleza majukumu yao vizuri, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi yatakayowasaidia kwenye siku za mbeleni.

Zaidi ya hayo, watu hao wanatakiwa kuishi wakiwa na chakula cha kiroho ambacho ni neno la Mungu, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao, katika maisha yao yote.

ENGLISH: THE PALACE DOES NOT HAVE A WAREHOUSE.

The origin of this saying comes from a family that does not have warehouse of its own. A warehouse is something to store food such as maize, and millet for future use. Traditionally, people used to keep their food, especially dried ones, in warehouses for future use. A family that does not have a warehouse was considered to be a family with no food to eat. To describe such a family with no food, they used a saying that ‘the palace does not have a warehouse.’

The saying can be compared to a person who lives without enough food to feed his/her family. That person does not carry out his/her duties properly, which may provide him/her with food to spend for many days to come.

He/she is like a family without a granary, which is a low-income family, because he/she also lives without enough food to feed his/her family for many days to come. 

The saying teaches people about the responsibility to carry out their responsibilities properly, so that they can achieve many successes that will help them in future. In addition, these people are required to live on a spiritual food which is the word of God, so that they can live in harmony with others throughout their lives.
