KISWAHILI: UTAKUTWA LWELWE HUJATEMBEA.

Methali hiyo, huangalia mtoto aliyechelewa kutembea. Mtoto huyo, alikuwa akitambaa kwa muda mrefu bila kusimama kwa sababu ya uzito wa miguu yake. Yeye alichelewa sana kutembea mwishowe muda wa kufika Lwelwe ambao ni ndege wanaofika kipindi cha masika, ulikaribia kufika.

Ndege hao wakifika watu huanza kilima kwa sababu ya kutambua kuwa masika yamefika. Ndiyo maana watu waling’wambia mtoto huyo kwamba, “utakutwa lwelwe hujatembea.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa msichana yule ambaye hajaolewa, katika maisha yake. Msichana huyo, ana wito wa kuolewa lakini amechelewa kwa sababu ya tabia yake kutokuwa nzuri. Yeye huwa hasali kwa Mungu awezaye kumpatia mchumba mwema, kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo mbaya, maishani mwake.

Msichana huyo, hufanana na yule mtoto aliyechelewa kutembea, kwa sababu naye amechelewa kuolewa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwambia, “utakutwa lwelwe hujatembea.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha wasichana na wavulana wenye wito wa ndoa, juu ya kusali sana ili Mungu awajalie kupata, wachumba wema, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: LWELWE (RAIN SEASONAL BIRDS {STORK BIRD}) WILL ARRIVE AND FIND YOU HAVE NOT WALKED.

This proverb looks at a child who is late to walk. This baby was crawling for a long time without standing up because of heavy weight of his legs. He was too late to stand up at last. The time of stork bird to arrive was near.  This a bird that arrives during the rainy season.

When these birds arrive, people start to cultivate because they realize that the rainy season has arrived. That is why people told the child that, “Lwelwe (rain seasonal birds {stork birds}) will arrive and find you have not walked.”

This proverb is compared to the unmarried girl in her life. This girl who has been called to get married but she is late because of her bad behavior. She prays to God who can give her a good bride without being successful because of her such bad behavior in her life.

This girl is like the child who was late to walk, because she is also too late to get married in her life. That is why people tell her that, “Lwelwe (rain seasonal birds {stork bird}) will arrive and find you have not walked.”

This proverb imparts in young girls and boys who are called to live marriage life to behave, enough to carry on praying earnestly for God who can grant them good brides in their lives.
