KISWAHILI: HIKI NDICHO KIJULISHO.

Methali hiyo, huongelea juu ya kijulisho. Kijulisho hicho, ni kitambulisho cha wazi ambacho kinajulikana kwa sababu ya kumuonesha mtu jinsi alivyo alinayekiona. Chenyewe humsaidia hata mtu aliyeko safarini kukitumia kama alama ya kumfikisha kwa haraka kule aendapo kwa sababu ya kujulikana kwake kwa watu wanaoishi huko. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “hiki ndicho kijulisho.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ana tabia njema ambayo ni kitambulisho chake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huishi na watu vizuri katika kijiji chake kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo ya kuwasaidia wenzake walio na matatizo. Yeye huishi na wageni wengi kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya kitambulisho chake hicho, cha kuishi na watu vizuri, katika kijiji chake hicho.

Tabia hiyo njema, hufanana na kile kijulisho kilichomsaidia msafiri kufika haraka alikokuwa akienda, kwa sababu nacho, huwasaidia watu kumfikia haraka yule aliye nacho. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “hiki ndicho kijulisho.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na tabia njema ya kuwasaidia wenzao walioko kwenye matatizo, ili waweze kuziendeleza vizuri, familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THIS IS THE SIGN.

This proverb speaks of a distinctiveness. This distinctiveness is a clear identifier that identifies a person for what he or she sees. It even helps the traveler to use it as a sign to get him to his destination quickly because of his popularity with the people who live there. That is why people say that, “This is the sign.”

This proverb is compared to a person who has a good character that is his identity in his life. This man lives well with the people in his village because of his habit of helping his fellows who are in great need. He lives with many visitors in his family because of his good identity in living well with people in his village.

This positive attitude is similar to that of a traveler who helps a tourist to get to his destination quickly, because it also helps people to reach their destination quickly. That is why people say that, “This is an identity.”

This proverb imparts in people a clue on how to have a good attitude enough to help others who are in great need, so that they can better develop themselves in their families.
