KISWAHILI:  KAMBA HUKATIKIA PALE ILIPOLEGEA.

Methali hiyo huongelea juu ya ukatikaji wa kamba pale ilipokuwa imelegea. Walikuwepo watu waliokuwa wakiitumia kamba hiyo kuvutia vitu vyao. Lakini basi kamba hiyo, ilikuwa imelegea kiasi cha kukaribia kukatika kwa sababu ya kuvutwa sana na watu hao. Walipoivuta kwa nguvu hivyo kamba hiyo ilikanitikia pale ilipokuwa imelegea. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “kamba hukatikia pale ilipolegea.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi zake kivivu, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo hufanya kazi kizembe kwa pole pole kama amelazimishwa kwa sababu ya uvivu wake huo. Yeye hukumbwa na matatizo ya kukosa chakula katika familia yake kwa sababu ya uzembe wake huo katika kazi zake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na ile kamba iliyokatikia pale ilipokuwa imelegea, kwa sababu naye huzembea kufanya kazi zake mpaka anapata matatizo ya njaa kutokana na kukosa chakula kwenye familia yake hiyo. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “kamba hukatikia pale ilipolegea.”

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu juu ya kuachana na tabia ya uvivu katika kazi zao kwa kujibidisha kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao hayo, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi maishani mwao.

 ENGLISH: THE ROPE IS BREAKS WHERE IT IS LOOSE.

The above proverb talks about getting cut of a rope where it was loose. There were people who were using the rope to tie their things. But then the rope was so loose that it almost was cut because of being pulled so hard by those people. When they pulled it so hard, the rope was cut where it was loose. That is why people said that, “the rope breaks where it is loose.”

This proverb is compared to a person who does his work lazily, in his life. Such person works carelessly as if he is forced to do so because of his laziness. He suffers from problems of lacking food in his family because of his negligence in doing his daily activities.

This person is like the rope that got cut where it was loose, because he also neglects to do his works until he gets problems of lacking food in his family. That is why people tell him that, “the rope breaks where it is loose.”

This proverb teaches people about abandoning habits of laziness in their works by forcing themselves to carry out their duties well, so that they can get a lot of success in their lives.
