KISWAHILI: KUPONA KWA MASKINI HUTOKA KWA MTEMI.

Methali hiyo, huangalia mtu maskini aliyesaidiwa na Mtemi. Maskini huyo, alionewa na tajiri mmoja kwa kunyang’anywa shamba lake. Yeye alitafuta ushauri kwa kuongea na majirani zake ambao walimwambia, “nenda kwa Mtemi ukamwambie akusaidia kulipata shamba lako.” Yule maskini alijibu, “sawa naanza safari ya kwenda ikulu.”

Maskini huyo, alifika kwa Mtemi na kumueleza namna alivyonyang’anywa shamba lake na yule tajiri. Mtemi aliposikia hivyo, alimwita yule tajiri na kumwamuru alimrudishie mali hiyo mwenye shamba lake, mpaka akalirudisha kweli. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “kupona kwa maskini hutoka kwa Mtemi.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hudhurumiwa na kuitafuta haki yake mpaka anaipata, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hakati tamaa ya kuitafuta haki yake anapoonewa, kwa sababu ya bidii yake ya kuomba ushauri kutoka kwa wale wanaoweza kumpatia njia za kuipata haki hiyo. Yeye hufanikiwa kuipata mali yake iliyonyang’anywa kwa sababu ya kuufanyia kazi ushauri anaopewa na wenzake, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule maskini aliyeitafuta haki ya kurudishwa shamba lake mpaka akalipata, kwa sababu naye huitafuta haki yake mpaka anaipata, anapoonewa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana yeye huwaambia watu kwamba, “kupona kwa maskini hutoka kwa Mtemi.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na bidii ya kuzitafuta haki zao na kuzitunza kwa kuufuata ushauri uwezao kuwapatia haki hizo, ili waweze kuzilinda vizuri mali zao, maishani mwao.

Luka 18:1-8.

ENGLISH: THE HEALING OF THE POOR COMES FROM THE KING.

This proverb looks at the poor man who was helped by the Chief in getting back his land. The poor man was oppressed by a rich man who had his land confiscated. He sought advice by talking to his neighbors who told him, “Go to the Chief and tell him to help you find your farm.” The poor man replied, “Well I am starting the journey to the palace.”

The poor man went to the chief and told him how he had been robbed of his land by the rich man. Upon hearing this, the chief summoned the rich man and ordered him to return the property to his owner. The rich man returned it to the poor man. That is why people say that “the healing of the poor comes from the King.”

This proverb is likened to a man who is wronged and seeks his own righteousness until he finds it, in his life. He seeks justice when he is oppressed, because of his diligence in seeking advice from those who can give him the means to obtain it. He manages to recover his confiscated property by applying the advice given by his colleagues throughout his life.

This man is like the poor man who sought his right enough to get his land back, because he also seeks his right until he finds it, when he is oppressed in life. That is why he tells the people that “the healing of the poor comes from King.”

This proverb teaches people on how to be diligent in seeking their rights and taking care of them by following the advice which will enable them to get their rights, so that they can better protect their properties in their families.
