KISWAHILI: MWANA MAKINU ALISHINDWA NJE NA KWAKE.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyeitwa Makinu. Mtu huyo, alikuwa na nguzu nyingi kwa sababu hakutishwa hata kidogo wakati wote. Siku moja alitoka nje usiku akakutana na myama mkali aliyemuua mtu huyo nje ya nyumbani kwake. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba “mwana makinu alishindwa nje na kwake.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huzitumia vibaya nguzu zake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huzitumia nguvu zake hizo kwa kujidai hovyo ili watu wamsifiye kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini katika maisha yake. Yeye hujiumiza bure katika majigambo yake hayo, kwa sababu ya kupenda sifa kwake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na mwana Makinu aliyeuliwa na yule myama mkali alipozitumia vibaya nguvu zake hizo, kwa sababu naye huzitumia vibaya nguzu zake hizo mpaka anaumia bure, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “mwana Makinu alishindwa nje na kwake.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuzitumia nguvu zao kwa umakini mkubwa ili ziweze kuwasaidia vizuri, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: MAKINU’S SON WAS DEFEATED OUTSIDE HIS HOME.

There was a man whose was Makinu’s son. He had a lot of power because he was not intimidated at all in his life. One day, he went out at night and met a stronger man than him who killed him outside his house. That is why people said that “Makinu’s son was defeated outside his home.”

This saying is related to a person who misuses his power in his life. Such person uses his power to claim praise carelessly for getting praise from people because of the lack of focus in his life. He hurts himself in vain in his boasting, because of looking for praise from people.

This person is similar to Makinu’s son who was killed by the fierce man when he misused his power, because he also misuses his power until he gets hurt for nothing, in his life. That is why people tell him that, “Makinu’s son was defeated outside his home.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of using their power very carefully so that it can help them well, in their lives.
