KISWAHILI: KULALA WAZI.

Hali ya kulala wazi ni ile ya kuishi usiku kucha kwenye nyumba bila kuwa na mlango wa kufungia. Nyumba hiyo, huwa haina kizuizi cha kumzuia mtu kuingia ndani yake, kwa sababu ya kukaa wazi usiku kucha hivyo. Ndiyo maana watu wa kwenye familia hiyo, hutafuta njia za kulitatulia tatizo hilo la “kulala wazi.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao hawana chakula ndani ya familiya yao. Watu hao, hukumbwa na tatizo hilo la kukosa chakula hicho ikikosekana mvua ya kutosha mwaka huo. Wao husumbuliwa na njaa kubwa kwa sababu ya kushindwa kupata chakula hicho kwenye nyumba yao.

Watu hao, hufanana na wale watu waliokuwa wakiishi usiku kucha bila kuwa na mlango wa kufungia kwenye nyumba yao, kwa sababu nao huishi bila kuwa na chakula kwenye matumbo yao. Wao hutafuta njia za kulitatulia tatizo hilo la njaza. Ndiyo maana huweka wazi kwamba, wana tatizo la “kulala wazi.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uvumilivu wa kufanya kazi za aina mbalimbali zinazoweza kuwapatia chakula wakati wa kipindi cha kukosa mvua, ili wasikumbwe na tatizo la njaa, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: TO SLEEP IN A DOOR OPEN HOUSE.

This proverb expresses a situation of a person who sleeps in a house which its door is open. A door open house sleeping situation is that of staying all the night in a house that is without a closed door. This house, however, has no barrier to prevent anyone from entering it, because it stays open all night. That is why members of the family are looking for ways to solve this problem because they do not like “to sleep in a door open house.”

This proverb is compared to those who have no food in their family. These people suffer from malnutrition if there is no enough rain in that year. They suffer from severe hunger because they cannot find food in their home.

These people are like those people who stayed the whole night without closing their door, because they also live without food in their stomachs. They look for solutions to the problem of hunger. That is why they make it clear that they have a problem, because they do not like “to sleep in a door open house.”

This proverb imparts in people an idea on how to be patient enough to do various kinds of works that can provide them with food during the dry season, so that they do not suffer from hunger in their lives.
