KISWAHILI: MVIZIA MOSHI AU MTU MWENYE KUANGALIA (KUTAFUTA) MOSHI.

Mvizia moshi ni methali ambayo ilianzia kwa mtu aliyekuwa anakula chakula kwenye familia za watu kwa kuvizia pale unapotakea moshi. Yeye alikuwa halimi au hafanyi kazi, kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya kuutumia muda wake huo, katika kuvizia familia inayopika chakula, kwa kuangalia pale unatopokea moshi. Mwishowe watu, walimgundua kuwa, anavizia chakula kwa kuangalia moshi, wakaanza kumuita, ‘mvizia moshi.’

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni mzembe katika kufanya kazi. Mtu huyo, hupenda kula tu bila kukifanyia kazi kile anachokila, kwa sababu, wakati wa kufanya kazi, yeye hujificha mahali fulani ili kungojea moshi au kuvizia moshi unapotokea.

Watu humwita mvizia moshi, kama njia ya kuonesha dharau kwake, kwa sababu ni mtu anayetafuta familia ile ambayo inatoa moshi, na kufahamu kwamba wanapika chukula pale. Mtu huyo akiona moshi mara moja hujitokeza kwenye chakula. Ndiyo maana watu humuita ‘mvizia moshi.’ Rejea Kueneza Injili kwa Methali, 60.

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha uzembe wa kufanya kazi, badaya yake, wajibidishe kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi, katika maisha yao.

“Uzembe umedharauliwa na Wasukuma. Tena umekataliwa na Mungu kama ni uzembe katika kufanya kazi yetu ya kila siku, kwa mfano kulima, au uzembe katika mambo ya kiroho, kwa mfano kutosali Jumapili, kutosali nyumbani, kutomtumikia Mungu kwa bidii, n.k.

Tena tusiwe watu ambao tunatawaliwa na tamaa ya chakula au pombe. Maisha si chakula tu, bali ni zaidi. Kila mtu ana haja ya kula chakula. Tuwe na njaa ya kumpokea Bwana Wetu Yesu Kristo katika sakramenti ya Ekaristi. Tuwe na haja ya kula chakula cha Bwana. Tuwe na furaha tunapokuwa kwenye karamu yake.” Rejea Kueneza Injili kwa Methali, ukurasa 60-61.

Mwanzo 25:34. “Ndipo Yakobo akampa Esau mkate na ule mchuzi wa dengu. Akala na kunywa, kisha akainuka akaenda zake. Kwa hiyo Esau alidharau haki yake ya mzaliwa wa kwanza.”

Waebrania 12:16. “Angalieni miongoni mwenu asiwepo mwasherati au mtu asiyemcha Mungu kama Esau, ambaye kwa ajili ya mlo mmoja aliuza haki ya uzaliwa wake wa kwanza.”

2Wathesalinike 3:10. “Kwa maana hata tulipokuwa pamoja nanyi, tuliwapa amri ili kwamba: ‘‘Mtu ye yote asiyetaka kufanya kazi, wala asile.’’”

Waroma 14:17. “Kwa maana Ufalme wa Mungu si kula na kunywa, bali ni haki, amani na furaha katika Roho Mtakatifu.”

Methali 28:19. “Yeye alimaye shamba lake atakuwa na chakula tele, bali afuataye mambo ya upuzi atakuwa na umaskini wa kumtosha.”

ENGLISH: HE WHO WAITS TO SEE WHERE THE SMOKE COMES FROM.

This saying comes from someone who is fond of eating food from other people’s homes. This person does not work in his/her farm to get food but he/she just stays home looking for where the smoke comes from and follow it because he/she knows that he/she can get food. When this happened, people labeled him/her as someone who is pushed by smoke thus coming with the saying that ‘he who waits to see where the smoke comes from.’

This saying can be compared to a person who is negligent in working. This person likes eating without working out what he/she eats. When others are working in their farms he/she hides himself/herself, waiting to see where the smoke comes from. People, as a way of despising such behaviour, can call such a person as someone who looks where the smoke comes from. He/she easily associates smoke and food ‘Refer to ‘Kueneza Injili kwa Methali which means ‘Spreading the Gospel through Proverbs,’ ukurasa wa 60). This book was written by searchers: Fr. Donald Sybertz, M.M., and Fr. Joseph Healey M.M., published by Benedictine Publications, Ndanda – Peramiho, 1984.

The proverb teaches people to stop negligence and, on the other hand, make a commitment to carry out their responsibilities so that they can achieve more in their lives.

“Negligence is discouraged by the Sukuma people. God also, through holy scriptures, discouraged negligence in, for example, gardening, or spiritual neglect; not praying on Sunday, not praying at home, not serving God diligently, etc.

And we must not be people who are ruled by a desire for food or alcohol. Life is not just food, but more than food. Everyone has a need to eat food. May we be hungry to receive Our Lord Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist. We need to eat the Lord’s Supper. Have joy while we’re at his banquet ” (Refer to ‘Spreading the Gospel in Proverbs,’ pages 60-61).
