KISWAHILI: AMEDONDOSHA.

Hapo zamani walikuwepo watu watatu waliokuwa pamoja katika safari yao. Mmoja wao aliweka kitu mfukoni mwake na wenzake wakafahamu kuwa na kitu kicho. Mtu huyo, alikidondosha kitu hicho bila ya yeye kufahamu kwa sababu ya kutokujali kwake vitu vyake. Yeye alipokiangalia mfukoni mwake alikikosa mpaka akaanza kukitafuta. Ndiyo maana wenzake hayo, walimwambia kwamba, “amedondosha.”

Masemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huvitelekeza hovyo vitu vyake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huzitelekeza hovyo mali zake mpaka mwishowe zinapotea kwa sababu ya kutokujali kwake huko maishani mwake. Yeye husumbuliwa na tatizo la njaa, yaani tatizo la kukosa chakula, katika familia yake kwa sababu ya kutokuzijali vizuri mali zake hizo, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeweka hovyo kitu chake mpaka akakipoteza, kwa sababu naye huzitelekeza hovyo mali zake mpaka mwishowe zinapotea, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “amedondosha.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuzitunza vizuri mali zao, ili ziweze kuwasaidia katika kuziendeleza vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

Msemo huo pia huwafundisha wabatizwa juu ya kuitunza neema ya utakaso inaoneshwa na nguo nyeupe ambayo huambiwa, na mbatizaji, kuwa, waifikishe kwa Mungu ikiwa nyeupe hivyo.

ENGLISH: HE DROPPED IT.

Once upon a time, three people were traveling together. One of them put something valuable in his pocket, and his companions noticed that he was carrying it. Because of carelessness, the man dropped the item without realizing it. Later, when he checked his pocket, he discovered that it was missing and began to look for it. That is why his companions said to him, “he dropped it.”

This saying is equaled to a person who carelessly neglects his possessions in life. Such a person fails to take good care of what he owns until it is eventually lost. As a result, he may face serious problems, such as hunger and lack of food in his family, because he did not protect and manage his possessions responsibly.

This person is like the one who carelessly put something in his pocket and lost it. In the same way, he neglects his resources until they disappear from his life. That is why people say about him, “he dropped it.”

This saying teaches people to be careful and responsible in taking care of their possessions, so that these possessions may help them develop and support their families well in life.

Spiritually, the saying also teaches the baptized to take good care of the grace of purification symbolized by the white garment they receive at baptism. They are reminded by the baptizer to preserve this purity and present themselves before God clothed in that white garment.
