KISWAHILI: ZICHOME USIZILE.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, huangalia uchomaji wa nyama ya wazee. Alikuwepo mzee aliye mpatia kijana kazi ya kuchoma nyama ya wazee ambayo hairuhusiwi kuliwa na wengine ambao hawajapewa uzee.

Nyama hiyo ni ya tako la mnyama kama vile ng’ombe, mbuzi, na kondoo. Yenyewe hupikwa au kuchomwa  na mtu yule aliyechakuliwa ambaye haruhusiwi kuila. Ndiyo maana mzee yule alimwambia yule kijana kwamba, “zichome usizile.

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufundisha malezi mema kwa watoto wake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwafundisha watoto malezi ya kuwaheshimu wakubwa wao kwa kukubali kufanya kazi zao vizuri, kwa sababu ya upendo mkubwa alio nao kwa watu wake hao, maishani mwake. Yeye hufanikiwa kuishi kwa upendo mkubwa na wenzake kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya malezi hayo mema anayowafundisha watoto wake, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mzee aliyempatia yule kijana kazi ya kuchoma nyama ya wazee bila kuila, kwa sababu naye huwafundisha watoto wake malezi mema ya kuwaheshimu wakubwa kwa kukubali kufanya kazi zao vizuri, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana husema kwamba, “zichome usizile.”

Msemo huo hufundisha wazazi juu ya kuwa na upendo kwa watu wao kwa kuwafundisha malezi mema ya kuishi vizuri na wenzao, ili waweze kuishi kwa upendo katika familia zao.

ENGLISH: BURN THEM AND DO NOT EAT THEM.

The cradle of this saying looks at someone who had to burn meat of elders. There was an old man who gave a young man the work of burning meat of the elders which is not allowed to be eaten by others who have not been given old age.

Such meat is taken from a back of an animal such as: cow, goat, and sheep. It is cooked or burned by a chosen person who is not allowed to eat it. That is why the old man told the young man that, “burn them and do not eat them.”

This saying is paralleled to a man who teaches good upbringing to his children in his life. Such person, imparts in children upbringing of respecting their elders by assenting to do their jobs well, because of great love which he has for those people in his life. He succeeds in living peacefully with his family members because of the good upbringing which he gives to them in his life.

This man is like that old man who gave the young man a job of roasting meat of the elders without eating it, because he also teaches his children good upbringing enough to respect the elders by assenting to do their jobs well in his life. That is why he says that “burn them and do not eat them.”

This saying instills in parents love for their people which can support them in teaching children good upbringing enough to live well with their societal members, so that they can love each other in their daily lives.
