KISWAHILI: UHAMAJI ULICHELEWESHWA NA KUKU.

Msemo huo, huangalia uchelewaji wa mtu kuhama aliyesubiri kuamushwa na kuku wanapowika.  Mtu huyo, alitaka kuhama kwa kusubiri kuku wawike ndipo aamuke na kuanza safari yake hiyo ya kuhama. Yeye aliendelea kulala tu mpaka asubuhi kwa sababu jogoo nao walichelewa kuwika siku hiyo. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “uhamaji ulicheleweshwa na kuku.”

Msemo huyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule anayejisahau kwenda kufanya kazi zake, mpaka muda wa kufanya kazi hizo unapita, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa amejisahau kila wakati kwenda kuyatekeleza majukumu yake kwa sababu ya kupenda kwake usingizi, maishani mwake. Yeye huchelewa kulima kila mwaka kwa sababu ya kujisahau kwake huko, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mhamaji aliyesubiri kuamushwa na kuku wanapowika, mpaka mwishowe akachelewa kuhama, kwa sababu naye hujisahau kwenda kuyatekeleza majukumu yake, mpaka muda wa kufanya kazi hizo unapita, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “uhamaji ulicheleweshwa na kuku.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha uchelewaji wa kwenda kufanya kazi zao, kwa kuwahi kwenda kuzitekeleza kazi zao hizo, ili waweze kufanya kazi kubwa za kuwapatia mali za kutosha kuwasaidia maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: JOURNEY WAS DELAYED BY CHICKEN.

This saying looks at the delay of a person who waited to be woken up by the roosters when they crow to start his journey. Such man wanted to travel by waiting for the chickens to roost before he got up and started his journey. He continued to sleep until morning because the roosters also crowed late that day. That is why people told him that, “journey was delayed by chickens.”

This saying is compared to the person who forgets to do his works until the time of doing them passes in his life. This person forgets to go to implement his duties because of his love of sleep, in his life. He is late to plow every year because of his self-forgetfulness, in his life.

This person is like the traveler who waited to be woken up by the chickens when they crow, until finally he became late to travel, because he also forgets to go to  accomplish his duties, until the time of doing those jobs passes in his life. That is why people tell him that, “journey was delayed by chickens.”

This saying teaches people on how to stop delaying going to do their jobs, by going to carry out their jobs, so that they can do big jobs enough to provide them with all basic needs in their lives.
