KISWAHILI: KUEZEKEWA MAJEMBE/KUTANDIKIWA CHINI.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo, chatokea kwenye hali ya kuandaliwa kaburi kwa kutumia majembe. Kuezekewa majembe au kutamdikwa chini, ni kuzikwa kwa kutumia majembe. Tangu zamani akifariki mtu watu hutumia majembe kuchimba kaburi na kutandika chini kwenye kaburi lake, ndipo wanamuweka ndani yake. Ndiyo maana watu waliita hali hiyo kwamba ni ‘kuezekewa majembe/kutandikiwa chini.’

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwajali vizuri watu waliofariki. Mtu huyo, huenda kuwazika wenzake hao walioaga dunia mara asikiapo utaratibu wa maziko yao.

Yeye ni mfano wa kuigwa na wenzake kwa kuwa  na huruma ya kuwazika wafu. Mtu huyo, huwahimiza pia wenzake kwa njia ya maisha yake, kwenda kuandaa kaburi na kushiriki kwa ukamilifu katika maziko hayo ya wafu wao na wa wenzao. Ndiyo maana yeye huwafundisha watu juu ya ‘kuezekewa majembe/kutandikiwa chini.’

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na huruma ya kuwajali wafu kwa kuwazika vizuri, katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuishi vizuri na wenzao, maishani mwao.
