KISWAHILI: NIMEZIDIWA NISAIDIENI.

Alikuwepo mtu mmoja aliyekuwa akivuka mto kwenye kijiji cha Mwatuma. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akifikiri kwamba angeweza kuuvuka mto huo kwa sababu ya utalaam wake wa kuogelea. Alishtukia ule mto ukaanza kumzidi nguvu mpata mwishowe alilazimika kuomba msaada kutoka kwa watu wengine kwa sababu ya yeye kuanza kuishiwa nguvu.  Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “nimezidiwa nisaidieni.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujidai kujua kila kitu kwa kuwadharau wenzake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujifikiria kwamba ana akili nyingi kuliko wenzake wote kwa sababu ya dharau yake hiyo kwa watu. Yeye hupata matatizo ya kuishiwa chakula kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya kuwadharau watu wale ambao wangemsaidia, katika maisha hake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyetaka kuvuka mto uliotaka kumpeleka mpata akasaidiwa na watu, kwa sababu naye huwadharau wenzake ambao wanaweza kumsaidia katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “nimezidiwa nisaidieni.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na heshima kwa watu kwa kuachana na dharau kwa wenzao, ili kila mmoja aweze kuufikia wito wake, na kupata mafanikio mengi, katika maisha yake.

ENGLISH: I HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED, HELP ME.

There was a man who was crossing the river in the village of Mwatuma. He thought that he could manage crossing it because of his swimming skills. He was shocked that the river started to overpower him until he finally had to ask for help from other people because he started losing his strength. That is why he said, “I have been overwhelmed, help me.”

This saying is equated to a person who claims to know everything by despising his colleagues, in his life. Such person thinks that he is more intelligent than all his nobles because of his contempt to them. He experiences problems of running out of food in his family, because of despising the people who could help him, in his life.

This person resembles the one who wanted to cross the river that overhelmed him until he got help from people, because he also despises his colleagues who can help him in his life. That is why he says, “I have been overwhelmed, help me.”

This saying teaches people about having respect to people by stopping despising them, so that they can get a lot of successes in their lives.
