KISWAHILI: KWA NINI UMEGEUKA MWIBA KUNICHOMA?

Msemo huo humuongelea mtu aliyechomwa mwiba ambao aliufikiria kuwa si mwiba. Mtu huyo, ulimchoma mwiba huo alipopitia hapo kwa sababu ya kuufikiria kuwa ni kitu kingine cha kawaida kisichoweza kumuumiza, katika mawazo yake. Ndiyo maana ulipomchoma aliuliza kwamba, “kwa nini umegeuka mwika kunichoma?”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa rafiki anayemgeuka rafiki yake kwa kumtendea maovu, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, humsengenya rafiki yake huyo na kumdharau mpaga mwishowe urafiki wao unavunjika kwa sababu ya kumuumiza hivyo mwenzake, maishani mwao. Yeye huuvunja urafiki wao huo kwa sababu ya kumtendea maovu hayo yanayoumiza moyo wa mwenzake huyo, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na ule mwiba uliomchoma yule ambaye alifikiria kuwa siyo mwiba, kwa sababu naye humuumiza rafiki yake kwa kumtendea maovu mpaka urafiki wao unavunjika, maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana yule aliyeumizwa humuuliza mwenzake huyo kwamba, “kwa nini umegeuka mwiba kunichoma?”

Msemo huo, hufundisha marafiki juu ya kuacha tabia ya kugeukana kwa kutendeana maovu katika urafiki wao, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: WHY DID YOU TURN INTO A THORN AND PRICK ME?

This saying refers to a person who was pricked by a thorn that he did not recognize as a thorn. As he passed by, he thought it was something harmless and could not hurt him. Because of this mistaken trust, the thorn pricked him. That is why, in pain and surprise, he asked, “Why did you turn into a thorn and prick me?”

This saying is compared to a close friend who later turns against his friend by doing evil to him in life. Such a person gossips about his friend, despises him, and betrays the trust between them. In the end, their friendship breaks because of the pain and harm he causes. The evil actions hurt the heart deeply, just as a thorn wounds the body.

That person is like the thorn that pricked the one who thought it was harmless. He was trusted, but instead of protecting the friendship, he caused pain until the relationship was destroyed. That is why the one who is hurt asks, “Why did you turn into a thorn and prick me?”

This saying teaches friends not to turn against one another through evil actions, gossip, or betrayal. It encourages faithfulness and love in friendship, so that people may live together in peace.
