KISWAHILI: MZIZI WENYE MATAWI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea juu ya mzizi unaokua kwa kwenda chini ya ardhi mpaka unapata matawi ya kuweza kuushikiria mti mkubwa wenye matawi. Mzizi huo huwa na nguvu za kuweza kuushikiria mti mkubwa wenye matawi yake kwa sababu ya uimara wake huo. Ndiyo maana watu huuita jina la “mzizi wenye matawi.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyeoa akapata watoto wengi, wajukuu na vilembe, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huilea vyema familia yake hiyo kwa kuifundisha kufanya kazi za kuwapatia mahitaji ya kutosha kutumia kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mafanikio mengi sana kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo wa kuilea vyema familia hiyo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na ule mzizi wenye matawi ya kuushikiria mti wenye matawi, kwa sababu naye ana nguvu na uaminifu wa kuilinda vyema familia yake hiyo, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jina la “mzizi wenye matawi.”

Msemo huo hufundisha wana ndoa juu ya kuwa na uaminifu wa kuzilea vyema familia zao, ili waweze kupata maendeleo mengi katika familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: BRANCHED ROOT

The origin of this saying comes from a root that grows underground and develops many branches strong enough to support a large tree. Because of its deep foundation and spreading branches, the root is able to hold the tree firmly and give it stability. For this reason, people call it a “branched root.”

This saying is matched to a person who gets married and is blessed with many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Such a person raises the family well by teaching them good values, responsibility, and useful skills so that they can provide for their needs. Through faithfulness, commitment, and hard work, this person builds a strong and successful family.

Like a branched root that supports a great tree, this person has the strength, loyalty, and wisdom to protect and sustain the family throughout life. That is why he is called a “branched root.”

This saying imparts in married couples an idea of importance of faithfulness, responsibility, and dedication in raising their families. When a family is built on these virtues, it grows strong, stable, and fruitful, bringing lasting progress and blessing to future generations.
