MNYAMA AMEWACHENGA WAWINDAJI.

Methali hiyo, huongelea juu ya wawindaji wa wanyama poli wanaotumia mishale. Wawindaji hao, walimzingila mnyama mmoja waliyetaka kumpiga kwa mishale yao. Mnyama huyo, aliwachenga wawindaji hao kwa kuwatoroka mpaka wakamkosa. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “mnyama amewachenga wawindaji.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa msichana aliyelazimishwa kuolewa na wazazi wake kwa mwanaume asiyempenda, akatoloka kwenye familia hiyo. Msichana huyo, aliposwa na mwanaume ambaye hukumpenda akamkataa. Alipomtakaa hivyo, wazazi wake walimlazimisha kuolewa kwa nguvu. Ndipo yeye alipowachenga kwa kuwatoroka kwenye familia hiyo.

Msichana huyo, hufanana na yule  mnyama aliyewachenga kwa kuwatoroka wawindaji waliotaka kumpiga kwa mshale, kwa sababu naye aliwachenga wazazi wake waliomlazimisha kuolewa kwa nguvu kwa mwanamume ambaye hukumpenda. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “mnyama amechenga wawindaji.”

Methail hiyo, hufundisha wazazi juu ya kuacha tabia ya kuwalazimisha watoto wao kuolewa kwa nguvu, kwa sababu maisha ndoa  siyo ya kulazimishwa, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani kwenye familia zao.

Yohana 10:39. “Ndipo wakajaribu kumkamata kwa mara nyingine, lakini akaponyoka kutoka mikononi mwao.”

Luka 4:30. “Lakini Yeye akapita papo hapo katikati ya huo umati wa watu akaenda Zake.”

ENGLISH: THE PREY HAS SNIFFED THE HUNTERS.

This proverb speaks of hunters who use arrows in forests. These hunters surrounded an animal which they wanted to kill by using their arrows. Such prey escaped by running away from them to an extent of disappearing in their eyes. That is why the people said that, “the prey has sniffed the hunters.”

This proverb is compared to a girl who was forced by her parents to marry a man whom she did not like. She left the family after rejecting him. When she did so, her parents forced her to marry him. Then she spared them by fleeing from that family.

This girl is like the prey that escaped from being killed by hunters who throw an arrow at her, because she also ran away from her parents who forced her to marry a man whom she did not love. That is why people say to each other that, “the prey has sniffed the hunters.”

This proverb teaches parents about giving up a habit of forcing their children to marry against their will, because life in marriage is not forced, so that they can live peacefully in their families.

John 10:39 “Then they tried to seize him again, but he escaped from their hands.”

Luke 4:30 “But He passed by the midst of the multitude and went to Him.”
