KISWAHILI: WALIKUWA HAPA HAPA TU.

Alikuwepo mchungaji wa mifugo aliyekuwa akijisahau na kuwaacha mifugo hao bila uangalizi. Mchungaji huyo, aliwatoa mifugo zizini na kwenda kuwaacha sehemu fulani kwa sababu ya kujisahau kwake. Alishutukia mifugo hao hawapo pale alipowaacha.

Watu wakamuuliza, “mifugo wako wapi?’ Yeye alijibu, “walikuwa hapa hapa tu.” Ndipo watu wakaanza kuutumia msemo huo kwa mtu yule aliyepoteza mali zake anapouliwa ziliko, naye hujibu kwamba, “walikuwa hapa hapa tu.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule avitelekezaye vitu vyake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa haelewi kuzitunza vizuri mali zake hizo, kwa sababu ya kuwa na uelewa mdogo juu ya faida za mali hizo. Yeye huwa havitunzi vitu vyake kwa sababu ya kuvitelekeza vitu hivyo hali ambayo hupelekea kupoteza mali zake, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mchungaji aliyejisahau mpaka akawapoteza mifugo wake, kwa sababu naye huvitelekeza vitu vyake mpaka vinapotea, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu waonamuuliza mahali zilipo mali zake, yeye hujibu kwamba, “zilikuwa hapa hapa tu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na utunzaji wa kuzijali vizuri mali zao, ili ziweze kuwasaidia vizuri katika maisha yao. Siyo vizuri kuzitelekeza ovyo mali zao.

ENGLISH: THEY WERE JUST HERE.

There was a herdsman who forgot himself by leaving the herds unattended. Such shepherd took the animals out of their stockyard and left them somewhere because he had forgotten about them. He was shocked that his animals were not there where he left them.

People asked him, “Where are your animals?” He replied, “They were just here.” People then began to use the saying on the person, who loses his property when he is asked about ‘where are your properties?’ He replies, “they were just here.”

This saying is compared to a person who abandons his possessions in his life. Such person does not know how to take good care of his properties, because he has little understanding of their benefits to him. He often does not take care of his belongings because of neglecting them, which leads to the situation of getting lost.

This man is like that shepherd who forgot himself until he lost his livestock, because he also abandons his possessions until they are lost, in his life. That is why when people ask him about ‘where his belongings are,’ he answers, “they were just here.”

The saying imparts in people an idea on how to take good care of their properties, so that they can help them better in their future lives. It is not good to neglect their properties.
