KISWAHILI: TUMESUBIRI UJIRA.

Ujira ni malipo kwa mtu aliyemaliza kutekeleja kazi fulani aliyopewa na mhusika. Walikuwepo wafanya kazi wa vibarua kwenye palizi ya mkulima fulani. Wafanya kazi hao, waliipalilia palizi hiyo mpaga wakaimaliza vizuri, kwa sababu ya bidii yao ya kufanya kazi. Walipomaliza kibarua hicho, walisuburi malipo ya pesa zao kwa mkulima huyo. Ndiyo maana walisema kwamba, “tumesubiri ujira.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huyatekeleza vizuri majukumu ya kazi zake, katika utendaji wake. Mtu huyo, huamuka asubuhi na kujibidisha kufanya kazi zake ambazo ni pamoja na kulima na kuvuna mavuno, kutoka mashambani mwake, kwa sababu ya matumaini yake ya kupewa mali nyingi na Mungu kutoka kwenye kazi zake hizo. Yeye hupata mali nyingi katika kujibidisha kwake kufanya kazi hizo, kwa sababu ya matumaini yake hayo kwa Mungu, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wafanya kazi wa vibarua waliopalilia palizi mpaga wakakimaliza kibarua chao vizuri, kwa sababu naye hujibidisha kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yake mpaga anayamaliza, huku akitumaini kupewa mali nyingi na Mungu, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana husema kwamba, “tumesubiri ujira.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kujibidisha kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, kwa kumtegemea Mungu, ili waweze kupewa mali nyingi, katika maisha yao.

ENGLISH: WE ARE WAITING FOR WAGES.

A wage is a payment to a person who has completed a particular task which has been assigned to him or her by a concerned. There were laborers on the farmer’s weed who finished weeding it well, because of their hard working. When they finished the job, they waited for the money to the farmer to be paid by him. That is why they said that, “We are waiting for wages.”

This saying is equated to the person who performs his duties well, in his enactment. This man wakes up in the morning and labors to do his work, which includes plowing and reaping, from his fields, because of his hope of being given many riches by God from his efforts. He gains much wealth in his efforts enough to get many progresses because of his trust in God.

This man is like the laborers who finished weeding out the weeds well enough to wait for wages from the farmers, because he also strives to fulfill his responsibilities in life while hoping to be richly rewarded by God, in his life. That is why he says that “We are waiting for wages.”

This saying instills in people a clue on how to work hard enough to fulfill their responsibilities well by depending on God, so that they can be given more wealth for running their lives.
