KISWAHILI: UDODI UMEJICHANGANYA NANI ATAUFUNGUA?

Msemo huu wa Kisukuma unatokana na maisha ya kila siku ambapo watu walitumia waya kutengeneza bangili na mapambo. Wakati mwingine, bangili ya waya ingechanganyika na kuwa vigumu kunyoosha. Kuifungua kulihitaji uvumilivu, ujuzi, na mtu aliye tayari kuchukua jukumu.

Katika jamii ya Wasukuma, hali kama hizo zikawa ishara ya matatizo magumu ambayo hayawezi kujitatua yenyewe isipokuwa mtu aingie kwa busara. Ndiyo maana wanasema “udodi umejichanganya, nani ataufungua?”

Msemo huu hulinganishwa na mtu ambaye husababisha mkanganyiko, migogoro, au hali ngumu kwa kuwasengenya wengine lakini kisha hurudi nyuma na hafanyi chochote kuitatua katika maisha yake. Mtu huyu husababisha mgogoro kati ya watu kwa kuwasema wengine vibaya kwa sababu ya tabia yake ya usengenyaji katika maisha yake. Yeye husababisha matatizo katika familia yake ya kutoishi pamoja kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo ya usengenyaji.

Mtu huyu hufanana na ule udodi uliojichanganywa wenyewe hadi kufikia hatua ya kutafuta mtu wa kuufungua, kwa sababu naye pia hukata mahusiano ya watu wake kwa kuunda mgogoro kati ya wanafamilia wake kupitia umbea ambao husababisha matatizo ya kutoishi pamoja na kuwaacha wengine wakipambana na matokeo yake. Ndiyo maana wanafamilia wake huo husema kumhusu yeye kwamba “udodi umejichanganya, nani ataufungua?”

Msemo huu huwafundisha watu kuhusu kuchukua jukumu la matendo yao kwa kutatua matatizo badala ya kuyaepuka ili waweze kuishi kwa amani katika familia zao. Wao wanahitaji kuwa na ujasiri, uvumilivu, na hekima ya kuchukua hatua katika kushughulikia hali ngumu katika jamii zao kwa kudumisha ushirikiano wa jamii kwa sababu baadhi ya matatizo yanahitaji juhudi za pamoja.

ENGLISH: THE WIRE BRACELET IS MIXED UP, WHO WILL UNTIE IT?

This Sukuma saying comes from everyday life where people used wire to make bracelets and ornaments. Sometimes, the wire bracelet would become tangled and difficult to straighten. Untying it required patience, skill, and someone willing to take responsibility.

In the Sukuma community, such situations became a symbol of complicated problems that cannot solve themselves unless someone steps in wisely. That is why they say “the wire bracelet is mixied up, who will untie it?”

This saying is compared to a person who creates confusion, conflict, or a complicated situation by gossiping others but then steps back and does nothing to resolve it in his life. This person creates conflict between people by speaking against others because of his gossiping behavior in his life. He causes problems in his family members of not living together because of his gossiping behavior.

This person resembles the wire bracelet which was mixed up by itself to the point of looking someone to untie it, because he also cuts relationships by creating conflict between his family members through gossip which creates problems of not living together and leaves others struggling with the consequences. That is why his family members say about him “the wire bracelet is mixied up, who will untie it?”

This saying teaches people about taking responsibility for their actions by solving problems instead of avoiding them so they can live peacefully in their families. They need to have courage, patience, and wisdom of taking initiative in handling complicated situations in their communities by maintaining community cooperation because some problems need colletive effort.

Matthew 5:9.

Galatians 5:16-26.

1 Corinthians 14:33. “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” This verse encourages people to bring order where there is disorder.

Matthew 5:9. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” Those who “untie the knot” by bringing peace are blessed.

Galatians 6:5. Each person must take responsibility for their part in a problem.

Ecclesiastes 4:9. Some “tangled bracelets” require teamwork to fix.
