KISWAHILI: MKONO UMENYOKA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea unyofu wa mkono wa mtu fulani. Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa akihangaika kuunyosha mkono wake uliokuwa umekunjika kwa muda mrefu kwa sababu ya kazi yake aliyokuwa akiifanya. Mtu huyo, alijibidisha kuunyosha mkono wake huo mpaka mwishowe ukanyoka vizuri. Ndiyo maana watu walipomuona walisema kwamba, “mkono umenyoka.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu mtafutaji wa mali ambaye huhangaika katika kujitafutia mali hizo mpaka mwishowe anazipata, katika kazi zake. Mtu huyo, huzitumia vizuri akili zake kwa kuamka mapema asubuhi na kwenda kufanya kazi vizuri mpaka anazimaliza kwa sababu ya bidii yake hiyo ya kufanya kazi, katika maisha yake. Yeye hupata mali nyingi sana katika familia yake kwa sababu ya bidii yake hiyo ya kufanya kazi zake vizuri, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyejibisha kuunyosha mkono wake mpaka mwishowe ukanyoka, kwa sababu naye hujibidisha katika kujitafutia mali kwa kufanya kazi mpaka anapafanikiwa, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “mkono umenyoka.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kutumia vizuri akili zao kwa kujibidisha kufanya kazi zao vizuri, ili waweze kupata mali za kuwawezesha kuziendeleza vizuri, familia zao.

ENGLISH: THE HAND HAS BEEN STRAIGHT.

The cradle of this saying denotes to an outstretched hand of a certain person. There was a man who was struggling to stretch his arm that had been bent for a long time because of a work which he was doing. He had to stretch his hand until finally it was straight. That is why when people saw him said that, “The hand has been straight.”

This saying is paralleled to a person who seeks wealth by struggling enough to find it for himself in his life. Such person makes a good use of his mind by waking up early in the morning and going to work well until he finishes it because of his hard working life. He gets a lot of treasures in his family because of working hard in his life.

This person is similar to the one who took it upon himself to stretch out his hand until it eventually became straight, because he also struggles to find prosperity by working hard until he succeeds in his life. That is why people tell him that, “the hand has been straight.”

This saying imparts in people a clue of using well their minds by forcing themselves to soundly do their jobs, so that they can acquire a lot of possessions enough to enable them nicely improve their families.
