KISWAHILI: CHELEWESHEA MDOMONI USICHELEWESHEE KWENYE CHUNGU.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, huangalia ulaji wa chakula wa watu wanaopeana zamu ya kuchukua chakula vizuri. Watu hao walikuwa wakila ugali kwa kumega kwenye chungu cha kupikia katika kijiji cha Shagihilu. Wao walimega ugali huo kwenye chingu hicho bila kuchelewesha mikono yao ndani ya chungu hicho, kwa sababu ya kuacha kuwachelewa wengine kuchukua chakula hicho humo. Ndiyo maana waliambiana kwamba, “cheleweshea mdomoni usicheleweshee kwenye chungu.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwenye familia ya watu ambayo hula chakula kwa kumjali kila mmoja katika maisha yao. Watu wa kwenye familia hiyo, hula chakula kwa heshima ya kupeana zamu ili kila mmoja apate chakula hicho vizuri, kwa sababu ya upendo walio nao kati yao maishani mwao. Wao huishi kwa kutunzana vizuri kwenye familia yao hiyo, kwa sababu ya uelewano wao wenye heshima ya kumjali kila mmoja vizuri, katika maisha yao.

Watu hao, hufanana na wale waliokuwa ugali kwa kupeana zamu ya kuchula chakula hicho kila mmoja vizuri, kwa sababu nao hula chukula kwa heshima na uelewano wa kupeana zamu ya kupata chakula hicho kila mmoja vizuri, kwenye familia yao hiyo. Ndiyo maana wao huambiana kwamba, “cheleweshea mdomoni usicheleweshee kwenye chungu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na heshima ya kugawana mali zao kwa uelewano wa kusaidiana vizuri katika kazi zao, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao, maishai mwao.

ENGLISH: DELAY IN THE MOUTH, DO NOT DELAY IN THE COOKING POT.

This saying looks at the food intake of people who take turns to eat well. These people were eating stiff food by breaking it in a cooking pot in a village of Shagihilu. They broke the grain in the pot without delaying their hands in that pot, because they stopped delaying others in taking food from it. That is why they said to each other that, “delay in the mouth, do not delay in the cooking pot.”

This saying is compared to a family of people who eat food by caring for each other in their lives. These people in that family eat food with the respect of taking turns so that each one gets the food well, because of the love they have for each other in their lives. They live by taking good care of each other in their family, because of their respectful understanding to care for each other well, in their lives.

Those people are similar to those who used to take turns to eat the food well, because they also eat food with respect and understanding to take turns to get the food well, in their family. That is why they say to each other, “delay in the mouth do not delay in the cooking pot.”

This saying teaches people about having respect of sharing their wealth with an understanding of helping each other well in their work, so that they can live in peace with their peers in lives.
