MTU HUJARIBU (KAZI) JIWE.

Alikuwepo mtu mmoja aliyelima shamba kubwa la mahindi katika kijiji fulani. Mahindi hayo yaliota na kukua vizuri mpaga palizi yake ikaanza kuowaogopeshwa wafanya kazi wake. Mwenye shamba aliwaambia wafanyakazi wake hao, “msiogopee macho kwa kuiangalia palizi hii, jaribuni kuipalilia kuifanya kazi hii ili muone matokeo yake.

Mwanamume mmoja alisema, “ngoja mimi nijaribu kuipalilia hii palizi.” Wengine warimjibu, “jaribu tuone kama utaimaliza.”

Mwanaume huyo alijaribu kulipalilia shamba lile pole pole mpaka akalimaliza lote. Alipomaliza kulipaliliza shamba lile lote watu walishangaa sana na kukiri kwamba, kweli kujaribu kufanya kazi ambayo ni ngumu kama hiyo, ni njia ya kupata mafanikio makubwa katika maisha ya mwanadamu. Ndiyo maana walisema kwamba, “mwanaume (mtu) kujaribu (kazi) jiwe

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uthubutu wa kujaribu kuzitekeleza kazi zao hata kama zitakuwa ngumu kiasi gani. Mifano ya kazi hizo ni pamoja na kuanza kazi mpya ya kujiajiri au kuajiriwa kwenye maofisi, kuanza biashara mpya na kadhalika.

Ina wahimiza kuongeza bidii katika kuyatekeleza majukumu yao ili waweze kuyakamilisha mapema iwezekanavyo kwa ajili ya kujipatia mafanikio mengi mashani mwao.

Methali hiyo huwahimiza wanasayansi kuutumia ubunifu wao katika kufanya tafiti za kuwawezesha kupata dawa za kutibu majonjwa mbalimbali ukiwemo ule unaotokana na virus vya corona, ujulikanao kama covid 19. Wanatakiwa kufanya majiribio mengi kwenye maabara bila kukata tamaa mpaka waweze kulikamisha lengo la kupata tiba ya ugonjwa huo.

Watu wa kundi hili huwa wanafundishana katika maisha yao ya kila siku kwa kutumia methali, misemo, mafumbo na kadhalika. “Mtu hujaribu (kazi) jiwe (hufanya bidii kuanza kazi ngumu)” ni mojawapo ya methali ambazo hutumia katika maisha yao ya kila siku.

Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja ambaye alilima shamba kubwa la mahindi katika kijiji fulani. Mahindi yalichipuka na kukua vizuri hadi magugu yake yakaanza kuwatia wasiwasi wafanyakazi wake. Mwenye shamba aliwaambia wafanyakazi wake, “Msiogope kwa kulitazama magugu haya. Lazima ujaribu kuipalilia ili kuona matokeo yake.

Mtu mmoja ambaye alikuwa mmoja wa wafanyakazi wake alijibu, “Acha nijaribu kupalilia shamba hili.” Wafanyakazi wengine walijibu wakisema, “Hebu tuone kama utaweza kumaliza.”

Yule mtu alianza kupalilia shamba vile taratibu hadi akamaliza yote. Alipofanikiwa kufanya hivyo, wafanyakazi wengine walishangaa na kukiri kwamba, “ni kweli kufanya jitihada za kufanya kazi hiyo ngumu, ni njia ya kupata mafanikio makubwa katika maisha ya binadamu.” Ndiyo maana wakasema kwamba, “mtu hujaribu (kazi ngumu) jiwe.

MADA: UVUMILIVU.

Maana ya methali hii ni kwamba mtu hujaribu hata asiweze kufanya hivyo. Kuna msemo wa ulimwengu wote: ‘Hakuna ubaya katika kujaribu.’ Winston Churchill: “Usikate tamaa.” Wayne Gretsky: “Unakosa 100% ya picha za magongo ambazo hupigi.” Akisema kwenye gravestone huko Shinyanga: “Alijaribu.”

SAMBAMBA ZA KIBIBLIA

Mathayo 7:13-14 “Ingieni kwa kupitia mlango ulio mwembamba; maana mlango ni mpana, na njia ni pana iendayo upotevuni, nao ni wengi waingiao kwa mlango huo. Jinsi lango ni jembamba na njia iliyosonga iendayo uzimani. Na wanaoipata ni wachache.”

Luka 13:24-25 “Jitahidini kuingia kwa kupitia mlango ulio mwembamba, kwa maana nawaambia ya kwamba wengi watajaribu kuingia lakini hawatapata nguvu za kutosha. Baada ya mwenye nyumba kusimama na kuufunga mlango, ndipo ninyi mtasimama nje mkibisha hodi na kusema, ‘Bwana, tufungulie mlango.’ Naye atawaambia, ‘Sijui mnatoka wapi.”

 Yaani kujitahidi kuingia kwa lango jembamba ni kazi ngumu inayohitaji nidhamu.

Yohana 14:6 “Yesu akamwambia, Mimi ndimi njia na kweli na uzima. mtu haji kwa Baba ila kwa njia ya mimi.”

MTAKATIFU PAULO JUU YA KAZI NGUMU.

Waefeso 4:3 Mtakatifu Paulo anasisitiza katika “kujitahidi kuuhifadhi umoja wa roho kwa kifungo cha amani;

Waebrania 12:14 “Tafuteni kwa bidii kuwa na amani na watu wote, na huo utakatifu, ambao hapana mtu atakayemwona Bwana asipokuwa nao.”

MATUMIZI YA KISASA NA MAISHA YA DINI

Asubuhi ya Ijumaa Kuu Mtakatifu Petro aliogopa kumshuhudia Kristo na akakimbia huku akiota moto badala ya kufanya juhudi na kwa ujasiri kuchukua nafasi hiyo kumshuhudia Kristo.

Mmishonari hana budi kujaribu, kujihatarisha. Mmishonari anapaswa kuacha utamaduni wake wa nyumbani ili kugundua mambo mapya katika mahali papya. Mshtuko wa kitamaduni unahusisha mchakato wa kufa. Mmisionari anaingia katika maisha ya watu wapya na kuweka mizizi katika mahali papya na utamaduni mpya – uzoefu ambao anaweza kuitwa tena na tena. Hii inaunganishwa na hatari katika mchakato wa uinjilishaji. Mmisionari yuko wazi kwa mawazo mapya na tamaduni mpya. Mtu kama huyo huenda kwa eneo lisilojulikana na haogopi majaribio.

Mmishonari ni mtu makini anayejaribu/anafanya juhudi kuwa mtakatifu. Kupitia ubatizo kila Mkristo anakuwa mmishonari anayehubiri habari njema ya Yesu Kristo, kwa wengine kupitia njia yake ya kuishi. Anapaswa kujitahidi kuishi maisha matakatifu.

Methali hii hufundisha watu jinsi ya kuwa na ujasiri mkubwa wa kujaribu kutekeleza kazi zao bila kujali ni ngumu jinsi gani. Mfano wa kazi hizo ni pamoja na: kuanza kazi mpya ya kujiajiri au kazi ya ofisini, kuanzisha biashara mpya, ugunduzi wa kisayansi unaopelekea uwepo wa Meli, ndege na kadhalika.

Inawahimiza watu kufanya kazi kwa bidii zaidi katika kutekeleza majukumu yao ili waweze kuyakamilisha mapema iwezekanavyo kwa ajili ya kupata mafanikio makubwa katika miradi yao.

Methali hii pia inawahimiza wanasayansi kuendelea kutumia ubunifu wao katika kufanya tafiti ambazo zinaweza kupelekea kupatikana kwa dawa za kutibu magonjwa mbalimbali, yakiwemo haya yanayosababishwa na virusi vya corona, vinavyojulikana kwa jina la Covid-19.

ENGLISH: THE PERSON TRIES (A WORK) A STONE (MAKES AN EFFORT TO START A DIFFICULT WORK) TO EAT A STONE.

There was a man who plowed a large field of maize in a certain village. The maize sprouted and grew well until its weeds began to worrisome his workers. The owner of that field told his workers, “Do not be afraid just by looking at this weed. You have to try weeding it out so as to see its results.”

One man who was one of his workers responded, “Let me try to weed this field.” The other workers replied saying, “Let us see if you can manage to finish it.”

The man started to weed such field slowly until he finished it all. When he manage to do so, the other workers were amazed and confessed saying that, “it is true that making an effort to do such a difficult job, is a way for achieving great success in the life of human beings.” That is why they said that, “the person (man) tries (a work) a stone.

Theme: perseverance.

The meaning of this proverb is that the person tries even if he cannot do it. There is a universal saying: There is no harm in trying. Winston Churchill: “Don’t give up.” Wayne Gretsky: “You miss 100% of the shots in hockey that you don’t take.” Saying on gravestone in Shinyanga: “He tried.”

Biblical Parallels

Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate for the gate is wide and the road is broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.

Luke 13:24 – 25 “Strive to enter through the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ He will say to you in reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

 That is say, striving to enter by the narrow gate is a hard work which takes discipline.

John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.^”

PAUL ON HARD WORK.

Ephesians 4:3 St. Paul insists in “striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace:^”

Hebrews 12: 14 “Strive for peace with everyone, and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”

CONTEMPORARY USE AND RELIGION APPLICATION

On Good Friday morning St. Peter was afraid to witness to Christ and ran away while warming himself at the fire rather than making an effort and boldly take the opportunity to witness to Christ.

The missionary has to try, to take risks. The missionary has to leave behind his or her home culture to discover new things in a new place.  Culture shock involves a dying process.  The missionary enters into the life of a new people and puts down roots in a new place and new culture – an experience that he or she may be called to again and again.  This is connected to the risk in the evangelization process.  The missionary is open to new ideas and new cultures.  Such a person goes to unknown territory and is not afraid to experiment. 

A missionary is a serious person who tries/makes an effort to be holy. Through baptism every Christian becomes a missionary who preaches the good news of Jesus Christ, to others through his or her way of living. He or she has to strive for living a holy life.

This proverb teaches people on how to have strong courage of trying to carry out their tasks no matter how difficult they may be. Examples of such jobs include: starting a new self-employment work or office job, starting a new business, scientific discovery which leads to the presences of Ships, airplanes and and so on.

It encourages people enough to work harder in fulfilling their responsibilities so that they could complete them as early as possible for achieving greater successes in their projects.

This proverb also encourages scientists to carry on using their innovations in doing researches which can lead to the finding of medicines for treating various ailments, including this which is caused by the corona virus, which is known as Covid 19.
