KISWAHILI: MGUNGA ULIOSHINDA JUA.

Hapo zamani ulikuwepo mti ulioitwa Mgunga. Mkunga huyo ulisitawi kila wakati hata iwe kiangazi cha Jua kali kwa sababu ulikuwa kwenye udongo mzuri. Wenyewe ulisitawi wakati wote huo kwa sababu ya kuwa pazuri hivyo. Ndiyo maana watu waliuita jina la “mgunga ulioshinda Jua.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule anayeishi kwenye familia yenye upendo mkubwa, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hufanya kazi kwa furaha kubwa katika familia yake hiyo, kwa sababu ya upendo wa watu hao, maishani mwake. Yeye huilea vyema familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya upendo walionao watu hao, katika maisha yao hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na ule mgunga uliokuwa kwenye udongo mzuri mpaka ukasitawi hata wakati wa Jua kali, kwa sababu naye huishi na watu wenye upendo uliompatia furaha kila wakati kwenye familia yake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu walimuita jina la “mgunga ulioshinda Jua.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na upendo wa kuwasaidia kufanya kazi zao vizuri na kwa furaha, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

THE MGUNGA THAT OVERCAME THE SUN

Once upon a time, there was a tree called Mgunga. The Mgunga tree always flourished, even during the hot summer, because it grew in rich and fertile soil. It continued to grow strong and healthy because it was planted in a good place. That is why people called it “the Mgunga that overcame the Sun.”

This saying is compared to a person who lives in a family filled with great love. Because of the love in that family, the person works with joy and peace. He takes good care of his family, and he fulfills his responsibilities happily, because he is strengthened by their love.

Just like the Mgunga tree that flourished even under the burning Sun because it was planted in good soil, this person thrives in life because he lives among loving and supportive people. That is why he is called “the Mgunga that overcame the Sun.”

This saying teaches people that love is like fertile soil. When there is love in a family, people gain strength to work hard, remain patient during difficulties, and raise their families well throughout their lives.

Book of Ezekiel 31:4–5.

Book of Job 8:16–19.

Psalms 104:16–19.

These passages also describe how trees planted in good conditions grow strong and flourish, just as a person rooted in love grows and prospers in life.
