KISWAHILI: USIONE CHAELEA KIMEUNDWA.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo, chaangalia ueleaji cha chombo majini na kuundwa kwakwe. Chombo hicho,  kinachoelea majini, huonesha wepesi wake kwa sababu kitu kilichokizito huzama. Kwa hiyo basi, kile kinachoelea majini huonesha ufundi wa uundaji wake. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘usione chaelea kimeundwa.’

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni ndogo lakini huwa anafanya kazi za kuwasaidia watu wengi, maisha mwake. Mtu huyo, alilelewa vizuri na wazazi au walezi wake, kwa sababu huwa anayatekeleza vizuri majukumu yakwe, kama chombo kile kinachoelea majini, wakati kina mizigo mingi.

Watu waliowakubwa humdharau mtu huyo, kwa sababu ya kujiona wao kuwa wanafahamu kila kitu, bila hata ya kuziangalia kazi zake anazozifanya. Watu hao, huwa hawamjali kwa sababu ya majivuno yao.

Lakini basi,  mtu huyo hufanya kazi zake vizuri, mpaka kuwazidi hata wao walio wakubwa. Maisha yake, huwafundisha wenzake, juu ya kuwalea vyema watu wao. Ndiyo maana yeye huwaambia watu hao kwamba, ‘usione chaelea kimeundwa.’

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwalea vyema watu wao na kuacha kiburi cha kuwadharau watu wao, ili waweze kuziendeleza vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: WHAT FLOATS HAS BEEN CREATED.

The source of the proverb is the floating object. The floating of an object in water communicates the skill of the one who constructed it. Therefore, its floatation in water suggests the artifact of the maker of the object. This is why people came with this proverb that ‘what floats has been created’ to communicate the artistic skills of the maker of the object and the object itself.

This proverb can be compared to a person who is considered to be less important in the society. This person, regardless of his/her less importance, can be very useful in terms of his/her ability to do his/her things in a manner that is constructive and encouraging to others. Such a person can be doing so because of the way he/she was nurtured by parents or guardians.

This proverb teaches people about how to take good care of their people and to stop despising others. It also teaches people to be careful and responsible in nurturing their kids for their future development.
