KISWAHILI: MLINZI WA SHAMBA LANGU HUANGALIA VILAVYO VYOTE.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyefuga mbwa kwenye kijiji cha Gabale. mbwa huyo alifanya kazi ya kulinda shamba lake kila wakati. Yeye alikuwa akilinda kwa kukagua vyote vilivyomo ndani yake kwa sababu alitaka kuyalinda vizuri mazao yote hayo. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “mlinzi wa shamba langu hukagua vilavyo vyote.”

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huitunza vizuri mali yake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huweka walinzi waaminifu ambao huilinda vizuri mali yake hiyo mpaga wezi wanashindwa kuichukua kwa sababu ya kuilinda vizuri mali yake hiyo. Yeye hupata mali nyingi sana kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya kuilinda vizuri mali yake hiyo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule aliyeweka mbwa wa kumlindia shamba lake ambaye alikagua vyote vilivyomo, kwa sababu naye huweka walinzi ambao huitunza vyema mali yake hiyo maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana husema kwamba, “Mlinzi wa shamba langu hukagua vilavyo vyote.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuzitunza vizuri mali zao, kwa kuweka walinzi waaminifu, ili waweze kuzitumia vizuri hali hizo bila ya kuchukuliwa na wezi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: MY FIELD GUARD CHECKS ALL INSECTS.

There was a man who kept a dog in the village of Gabale. Such dog worked enough to protect safe his field at all times. He was guarding it by checking everything in it because he wanted to look after all the crops well. That is why the dog keeper said, “the guard of my field checks all the goodies.”

This proverb is compared to a person who takes good care of his property in his life. Such man, puts loyal guards who protect his property well to the point of preventing thieves from stealing it because of the good protection of his property. He gains a lot of wealth in his family because of having such decent security of his possessions, in his life.

This person is like the one who put a dog to guard his field which checked everything in it, because he also puts guards who take good care of his belongings in his life. That is why he says, “The guard of my field checks all insects.”

This proverb teaches people about taking good care of their possessions, by placing faithful guards, so that they can make good use of those possessions without being taken by thieves, in their lives.
