Mathayo 19:12.

KISWAHILI: UBAYA WA CHUMA SIO WA MTENGENEZAJI.

Methali hiyo, ilianzia kwa mtu yule aliyekuwa akitengeneza chuma. Chuma hicho, chaweza kuwa kizuri au kibaya, lakini yeye hubaki kama alivyo, kwa sababu hawezi kufanana na kile alichokitengeneza. Kikiwa kibaya maana yake kipo hivyo chenyewe, siyo kwamba mtengenezaji wake ni mbaya. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “ubaya wa chuma sio wa mtengenezaji.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hupata vitu vizuri, lakini hushindwa kuvitunza, kwa sababu ya uzembe au kutoelewa namna ya kuvitumia vizuri.  Hivyo yeye pia hupata watu wema lakini hushindwa kuishi nao kwa sababu ya tabia mbaya aliyo nayo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hushindwa kuvitunza vitu vyake, kutokana na mwenendo wake wa kuviharibu kwenye matumizi yasiyofaa. Yeye pia, huwavuruga watu anaoishi nao kwa sababu ya tabia yake ya kuwadharau wenzake.

Watu humfananisha na mtu yule aliyekuwa akitengeneza chuma ambacho hubaki na ubaya wa chenyewe, siyo wake mtengenezaji, kwa sababu naye huwapata watu wenye tabia njema, lakini hushindwa kuishi nao vizuri. Ndio maana watu humwambia kwamba, “ubaya wa chuma sio wa mtengenezaji.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuelewa namna ya kuishi na watu kwa kusaidiana vizuri katika maisha yao, ili waweze kujiletea maendeleo mengi maishani mwao. Wanatakiwa kujifunza namna ya kuishi kwa kuongozana na watu wao.

Mathayo 19:12. “Kwa maana wengine ni matoashi kwa sababu wamezaliwa hivyo, wengine wamefanywa matoashi na wanadamu na wengine wamejifanya matoashi kwa ajili ya Ufalme wa Mbinguni. Yeye awezaye kulipokea neno hili na alipokee.”

ENGLISH: THE USELESSNESS OF AN IRON SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED ON THE MANUFACTURER.

This proverb began with the man who was manufacturing irons. The manufactured iron may be good or bad, but the manufacturer remains as he is, because he cannot match what he made. If the manufactured iron is bad that means it is so in its own right not that its manufacturer is bad. That is why people say, “The uselessness of an iron should not be blamed on the manufacturer.”

The proverb is likened with a person who finds good things, but fails to take care of them, because of negligence or a lack of understanding on how to use them properly. So he also finds good people but fails to live with them because of the bad behaviour he has.

That person as result fails to take care of his or her belongings, due to his or her tendency to waste them due to his improper usage. He, too, disturbs the people he lives with because of his contemptuous behaviour.

People liken him with a man who used to make irons, this is because he also finds people with good character, but he fails to live well with them. That is why people say to him, “The uselessness of an iron should not be blamed on the manufacturer.”

This proverb teaches people how to understand ways of living with people by helping each other well in their lives so as to progress in their lives. They need to learn how to live in harmony with their people.
