KISWAHILI: HORI HILI LIMETOSHEKA MAJI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chaangalia kifaa cha kunyweshea mifugo. Kifaa hicho, ni kitu kinachotengenezwa kwa tope au mti (yaani ni gongo lililochongwa vizuri). Chenyewe hutumiwa kwa kunyweshea ng’ombe maji. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘Hori hili limetosheka maji.’

Msemo huyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni tajiri wa mali nyingi katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, ana mifugo kama vile: ng’ombe wengi, hali kadhalika mbuzi, na kondoo. Yeye ana kuku, bata na chakula kwa wingi katika familia yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na hori lilitosheka maji, kwa sababu naye ana mali nyingi nyumbani kwake. Yeye alitajirika kwa sababu ya kujibidisha kufanya kazi zake vizuri. Mtu huyo, pia huitumia mali yake hiyo, kwa kuweka vibarua katika kazi zake, ili aweze kuwafundisha watu juu ya kujibidisha kuzifanya kazi zao.

Yeye huwatunza vizuri pia wafanyakazi wake, kwa kuwapatia chakula kizuri na maji ya kutosha, kwa sababu ameshatajirika maishani mwake. Ndiyo  maana watu husema kwamba, ‘hori hili limetosheka maji.’

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kujibidisha kutafuta mali kwa kufanya kazi zao kwa bidii kubwa, na kuzitumia vizuri wanapozipata, ili waweze kuzitunza vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THIS TROUGH IS FULL OF WATER.

The source of this saying is a trouph animals use to drink water. This trouph is made up of wood or mud. People can put water in it for animals (for example, cows) to drink. To describe this trouph, people came with this saying that ‘This trouph is full of water.’

This saying can be compared to the richest person in a certain society. This person might be having a lot of wealth: cows, goats, sheep, chicken, ducks, etc. Like a trouph full of water, this person will appear as someone who is self-sufficient in his/her life because of his/her possessions. This persons’s possessions can be obtained through hard work. This person is also credited to taking good care of his/her stuff by providing them with all the necessities in life; food, water and shelter.

This saying teaches people about hard work. For one to become rich, he/she has to work hard.
