KISWAHILI: UPEPO UNAMFUATA MTU NYUMA.

Methali hiyo, huongelea juu ya upepo uliomfuata mtu nyuma. Upepo huo, huvuma kwenda kokote utakakoelekea kwa sababu hauna upande mmoja. Lakini upepo huo ulimfuata mtu fulani mpaga watu wakashangaa. Ndiyo maana walisema kwamba, “upepo unamfuata mtu nyuma.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyetenda kosa akakimbia wakati yupo aliyemuona. Mtu huyo, alifuatwa mpaga akakamatwa kwa kufuata maelekezo ya mtu yule aliyemuona alipokuwa akitenda kosa hilo. Yeye alikamatwa na kupewa adhabu ya kulipa mali nyingi, zilizolingana na kosa hilo, kwa sababu ya kutenda uovu huo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyefuatwa na upepo kwa nyuma, kwa sababu naye alifuatwa na kukamatwa kule alikokimbilia baada ya kutenda kosa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “upepo unamfuata mtu nyuma.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha kutenda uovu, katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuzitunza vizuri mali zao, na kuishi kwa amani na watu wao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THE WIND FOLLOWS A PERSON BEHIND.

The overhead proverb speaks of the wind that followed a man behind. The wind blows by going anywhere because it does not have one side only. Nevertheless this wind was following a person such that people were amazed. That is why they said that, “The wind follows a person behind.”

This proverb is related to a person who commits a crime and runs away when someone has seen him. This man was followed by people who followed instructions of the man who saw him committing the crime until he was arrested. He was arrested and sentenced to pay a large amount of property as a warning for not committing the same crime in his lifetime.

This man is like the one who was pursued by the wind in the background, because he was also followed by the one who saw him committing such crime to the point of being arrested. That is why people said to him that, “the wind follows a person behind.”

This proverb teaches people about stopping doing evil things in their lives, so that they can take good care of their possessions enough to live in peace with their societal members.
