KISWAHILI: MLANGO MMOJA HAUNENEPESHI MBWA.

Alikuwepo mbwa mmoja aliyekuwa amefugwa kwenye familia fulani. Mbwa huyo, alilishwa chakula kila siku, lakini alikuwa hashibi kwa sababu alikuwa akiondoka kwenye familia hiyo, na kwenda kutafuta chakula kwenye familia zingine.

Yeye aliendelea kutafuta mifupa na chakula kilichotupwa na kula, kwenye familia mbalimbali, mpaka aliposhiba ndipo alirudi nyumbani. Walipoona hivyo, wana familia hao, walisema kwamba, “mlango mmoja haunenepeshi mbwa.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hupata tatizo la njaa na kuanza kuzunguka akitafuta chakula mpaka anakipata chatosha kuimaliza hiyo njaa, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa anaenda kuhemea kila sehemu anakosikia kwamba, kuna chakula ili aweze kujipatia chakula cha kuwatosha watu wake. Yeye huweza kuitafutia chakula familia yake mpaka anakipata cha kutosha kuwalisha wanafamilia wote, kwa sababu ya bidii yake ya kuwasaidia wake hao, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na mbwa aliyeenda kula chakula kwenye familia za watu, kwa sababu naye huitafutia chakula familia yake mpaka anakipata cha kutosha kuimaliza njaa hiyo, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana yeye humwaambia watu kwamba, “mlango mmoja haunenepeshi mbwa.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kujibidisha kuwatafutia chakula cha kutosha kuwaponyesha njaa watu wao, katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuziendeleza vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: ONE HOME DOES NOT MAKE THE DOG FAT.

There was a dog that was bred in a certain family. Such dog was fed daily, but it was not satisfied because of leaving the family, going to look for food in other families.

It continued to search for bones and discarded food to eat in various families, until it was full enough to return home. Seeing this, the family members remarked, “One home does not make the dog fat.”

This proverb is likened to a man who starts wandering around looking for food after getting hungry, until he finds plenty enough to end that hunger in his life. This man goes to every place where he hears that there is food so that he can get enough food for his people. He can feed his family until he has enough to feed all the family members, because of his diligence in helping them in his lifetime.

This man is like a dog that goes to eat food in people’s families, because he also seeks food for his family until he finds enough to satisfy that hunger in it. That is why he tells people that “One home does not make the dog fat.”

This proverb teaches people on how to struggle to find enough food to feed their people, in their lives, so that they can better take care of their families.

Matthew 13: 45-46.
