KISWAHILI: AMEENDA NA TUMBO LAKE.

Msemo huo, huongelea juu ya tumbo la mtu aliyefariki dunia. Mtu huyo, hukoma kujisikia njaa kwa sababu ya kukoma kujihisi. Hivyo, watu wanaomhudhunikia mpaka kufikia hali ya kushindwa kuyatekeleza majukumu yao, huhimizwa kuendelea na kazi zao kama kawaida, kwa sababu wao wanahitaji kula, lakini aliyefariki ameenda na tumbo lake. Ndiyo maana watu hao huambiwa kwamba aliyefariki, “ameenda na tumbo lake.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huhudhunika kwa muda mrefu kila anapopata matatizo, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hufikia hali ya kushindwa kuyatekeleza majukumu yake ya kila siku kwa sababu ya kuendelea kulifikiria tatizo lililopita katika maisha yake. Yeye hujikuta mwishowe amepata matatizo mengine, yakiwemo yale ya kukosa chakula katika familia yake, kutokana na kukaa kwa muda mrefu bila kufanya kazi.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale waliacha kufanya kazi zao kwa sababu ya kufiwa na mwenzao, kwa sababu naye hushindwa kuyatekeleza majukumu yake kwa sababu ya kuyafikiria matatizo yaliyopita, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, matatizo hayo ni sawa na mtu aliyefariki ambaye, “ameenda na tumbo lake.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uvumilivu wa kuyamaliza mapema matatizo wanayokumbana nayo, katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuendelea kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: HE/SHE HAS GONE WITH HIS/HER STOMACH.

This saying speaks of an abdomen of a deceased person. Such person, in turn, ceases to feel hungry because he/she has ceased to live. Thus, people who think about him/her to the point of failing to carry out their duties are encouraged to continue with their daily work as usual, because they need to eat, but the deceased has gone with his/her stomach. That is why these people are told that the deceased, “has gone with his/her stomach.”

This saying is applied to the person who suffers for a long time whenever he/her has problems, in his life. This person becomes unable to carry out daily responsibilities because of continuing to think about the past problem in life. He/She finds him/herself eventually suffering other problems, including malnutrition in the family, due to the prolonged inactivity.

This person is like those who stopped working because of the loss of their relative, because he or she also fails to fulfill his or her responsibilities because of thinking about past problems, in his or her life. That is why people tell him/her that these problems are the same as the death of a person who has “gone with his/her stomach.”

This saying imparts in people an idea on how to be patient to the point ending up the problems which they faced, in their lives, so that they can continue working for fulfilling their daily responsibilities in life.
