KISWAHILI: UPINDE HUSHIKANA NA KAMBA.

Upinde ni silaha ya kurushia mishale ambayo huwa imeungana na kamba. Upinde huo, hutokana  na mti uliokatwa na kutengenezwa vizuri mpaka ukafikia hatua ya kufungwa kamba.

Kamba hiyo, huwa ni muunganiko wa nyuzi zilizoshonwa vizuri ambayo hufungwa kiasi cha kutosha kuukunja ule upinde inapotumiwa kuushikilia mshale. Yenyewe hufanya kazi pamoja na upinde bila kuachana nao. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “upinde hushikana na kamba.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa wana ndoa ambao huishi kwa kushirikiana pamoja, katika maisha yao. Watu hao, huyatekeleza majukumu yao kwa kusaidiana vizuri, katika maisha yao. Wao hupata mafanikio mengi sana kwa sababu ya kuutunza umoja wao huo uliogengwa kwenye muungano wao huo wa ndoa, maishani mwao.

Watu hao, hufanana na muungano ulioko kati ya upinde na kamba, kwa sababu nao huishi kwa kusaidiana wakiwa wameungano pamoja katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana watu huwaambia kwamba, “upinde hushikana na kamba.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha wana ndoa juu ya kuishi wakiwa wameungana pamoja kwa kusaidiana katika kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THE BOW IS ATTACHED TO ITS STRING.

A bow is a weapon which is connected to a cord for shooting arrows. It is made of a well-cut and well-formed tree which is bent by that cord while shooting arrows during the hunting time.

This cord is a combination of finely woven fibers that are tied tightly enough to bend the bow while holding an arrow. It works alongside with the bow without abandoning it. That is why the saying goes that, “the bow is attached to its string.”

This proverb is compared to married people who live together in their lives. These people fulfill their responsibilities by helping each other in their lives. They find great success in lives because of maintaining their union which is based on their marital blending in their lifetime.

These people are like an union between a bow and a cord, because they also live in harmony with one another as they are united together in carrying out their responsibilities in their lives. That is why people say to them that, “the bow is attached to its string.”

This proverb instills in married couples an idea on how to live together by helping one another enough to nicely fulfill their daily responsibilities, so that they can have more success in their families.
