KISWAHILI: LIMEMTUKA KWA MAJIGAMBO.

Msemo huo, huongelea watu walioenda kumwangalia Tembo kwenye kijiji cha Ndoleleji. Tembo huyo aliachwa na wenzake kwenye bustani ya Mto wa Mangu alijilisha.

Watu walipomuona huyo Tembo walikimbia kwenda kumuangalia mpaga wakawa wengi sana. Mmoja wa wale watu alijidai kumzoea huyo Tembo kwa kumsogelea mpaga akamchoma mti, kwa sababu ya majivuno yake hayo. Tembo huyo aligeuka na kumfuata kwa majigambo yule mtu ambaye alikimbia kuelekea unakoenda upepo mpaka akaanguka kwenye korongo. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “limemtuka kwa majigambo.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujitia kujua kwa kujigamba hovyo, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwadharau wenzake kwa sababu ya majivuno yake hayo. Yeye hupata matatizo ya kukosana na watu kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya kujidai kujua kwake akiwadharau wenzake hao, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyejigamba kwa kumchola mti Tembo, afukuzwa mpaka agaangukia kwenye korongo, kwa sababu naye hujigamba kwa kuwadharau wenzake mpaka anapata matatizo ya kukosana na watu, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “limemkuta kwa majigambo.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuutumia vizuri uongozi na uwezo wao, katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, ili waweze kuishi vizuri na wenzao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: IT HAS POMPOUSLY FOUND HIM.

This saying speaks of the people who went to see an Elephant in the village of Ndoleleji. This elephant was left by his companions in the Mangu River garden where it fed itself.

When the people saw it, they ran towards it in order to see it and there were many of them. One of them claimed to be familiar with such Elephant by approaching it. He stabbed it with a tree, because of his arrogance. The elephant turned and proudly followed such man who ran in the direction of the wind until he fell into the canyon. That is why people told him that, “it has pompously found him.”

This saying is compared to a person who makes himself known by being vainly proud, in his life. Such person despises his colleagues because of his pride. He has problems of missing people who can to stay with him in his family, because of his self-deprecating knowledge of those colleagues in his life.

This person resembles the one who boasted about to the point of stabling an elephant by using a tree, who was chased until he fell into a canyon, because he also boasts about disrespecting his colleagues until he gets problems of not getting along with people, in his life. That is why people tell him that, “it has pompously found him.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of using their leadership and abilities properly, in an enactment of their responsibilities, so that they can live well with their people, in their lives.
