KISWAHILI: AMENYAMAZISHA.

Walikuwepo watu wa kwenye familia moja waliokuwa wakizozana kwa muda mrefu. Watu hao walikasilikiana kwa sababu ya kugombania mashamba.

Siku moja alipatikana mtu aliyewapatanisha vizuri mpaka wakanyamaza kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake wa kutenda haki mtu huyo. Ndiyo maana watu walipoona hivyo walisema kwamba, “amenyamazisha.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa kiongozi wa kijiji ambaye huwaongoza vizuri watu wake, katika maisha yake. Kiongozi huyo, ana upendo wa kuwaongoza vizuri watu wake mpaka wanamsikiliza vizuri, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo, maishani mwake. Yeye huwasaidia watu kwenye kijiji chake hicho mpaka anayamaliza matatizo yao kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo, katika maisha yake hayo.

Kiongozi huyo, hufanana na yule aliyewapatanisha watu waliokuwa wamekosana mpaka mwishowe wakaelewana vizuri, kwa sababu naye huwaongoza vizuri watu wake mpaka wanasikilizana, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “amenyamazisha.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uaminifu wa kuwaongoza vizuri watu wao, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na furaha kubwa, katika kijiji chao.

ENGLISH: HE HAS SILENCED THEM.

There were people in the same family who had been fighting for a long time. They were angry with each other because of fighting over land.

One day, a man was found who reconciled them well until they became silent because of that man’s honesty in doing justice. That is why when people saw that, they said, “He has silenced them.”

This saying is paralleled to a village leader who leads his people well in his life. This leader has an interest of leading his people well until they listen to him well because of that honesty in his life. He supports people who live in his village until he solves their glitches because of that honesty in his life.

This leader resembles the one who reconciled the people who had been fighting until they finally understood each other well, because he also leads his people well until they listen to each other in his life. That is why people say to him, “he has silenced them.”

This saying teaches people about being truthful enough to lead their people well, so that they can live in peace and great happiness in their village.

KISWAHILI: ANAVUTWA NA FISI.

Msemo huo huongelea juu ya mchungaji wa mifugo aliyejisahau mpaka mwishowe kondoo wake akachukuliwa na fisi. Mchungaji huyo, alikuwa akichunga kondoo, mbuzi, na ng’ombe. Kondoo wake alichukuliwa na fisi bila ya yeye kufahamu kwa sababu ya kujisahau kwake huko mpaka mwishowe watu wakawaona fisi wakimvuta kondoo huyo. Ndiyo maana watu hao walisema “anavutwa na fisi.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hazitunzi vizuri mali zake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huvitelekeza hovyo vitu vyake hivyo mpaka mwishowe vinapotea, kwa sababu ya kutovitunza vizuri vitu vyake hivyo, maishani mwake. Yeye huishiwa mali katika familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya kuzitelekeza hovyo mali zake hizo mpaka mwishowe zinapotea, katika maisha yake hayo.

ENGLISH: IT IS BEING DRAGGED BY A HYENA.

This proverb talks about a shepherd who forgot himself until finally his sheep was taken by a hyena. The shepherd was herding sheep, goats, and cattle. His sheep was taken by a hyena without him knowing because of his forgetfulness until people saw the hyenas dragging it. That is why those people said that “It is being dragged by a hyena.”

This proverb is matched to a person who does not take decent care of his possessions in his life. This person neglects his belongings until they are eventually lost, because of not taking respectable precaution of his belongings in his life. He runs out of wealth in his family because of neglecting his belongings until they are eventually lost in his life.

This person is like the shepherd who forgot himself until his sheep was taken by a hyena, because he also neglects his belongings until they are eventually lost in his life. That is why people who see his possessions disappearing like that tell him that, “it is being dragged by a hyena.”

Walikuwepo watu waliofuga ng’ombe mwenye mazima katika kijiji cha Mwatuma. Ng’ombe huyo, alikuwa akitoa mazima mengi sana ambayo walikuwa wakiyachekecha kwenye kibubu kwa sababu walitaka kupata siagi na mafuta ya kupikia chakula. Ng’ombe huyo, alikuwa akitoa maziwa yaliyojaza kibuyu kwa sababu ya wingi ya wazima yake hayo. Ndiyo maana watu walimuita jina la “mzuri mwenye kibuyu.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa tajiri yule ambaye huzitumia mali zake kwa kuwasaidia watu, katika maisha yake hayo. Tajiri huyo, huzitumia mali zake kwa kuwasaidia watu wanaokumbwa na matatizo mbalimbali ili waweze kuyamaliza haraka, kwa sababu ya ukarimu na upendo wake huo, maishani mwake. Yeye huleta furaha kubwa kwa watu wengi anaowasaidia mpaka wanayamaliza haraka matatizo yao kwa sababu ya upendo na ukarimu wake huo, katika maisha yake.

Tajiri huyo, hufanana na yule ng’ombe aliyekuwa akitoa maziwa mengi mpaka watu wakawa wanayachekecha ili kupata siaji na mafuta, kwa sababu naye huzitumia mali zake kwa kuwasaidia watu wenye matatizo mpaka wanayamaliza haraka matatizo hayo, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jina la “mzuri mwenye kibuyu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na upendo na ukarimu wa kuzitumia mali zao kwa kuwasaidia wenzao wanaosumbuliwa na matatizo mbalimbali ili waweze kuyamaliza haraka matatizo hayo, maishani mwake.

ENGLISH: “THE GOOD ONE OF A CALABASH.”

There were folks who raised a cow with a calabash in the village of Mwatuma. The cow used to give a lot of milk that they used to shake in a calabash for getting butter and cooking oil. Milk of such cow filled a calabash because it was abundant. That is why individuals called it “the good one of a calabash.”

This saying is compared to a rich man who uses his wealth for supporting people in his life. This rich man uses his wealth to aid those who suffer from various hitches so that they can quickly solve them, because of his generosity and love, in his life. He brings great joy to several persons whom he aids until they quickly solve their glitches because of his love and generosity in his life.

This rich man resembles the cow that gave so much milk from which people got butter and oil, because he also uses his wealth for aiding individuals who are trouble until they quickly solve those glitches. That is why they call him “the good one of a calabash.”

ENGLISH: HE HAS BEEN ARRESTED.

This saying talks about an arrest of a person who commits evil deeds. There was a man who lived in a certain village. He used to go to people’s fields for getting food at night because he was a thief. One day owners of those fields saw him stealing their crops and arrested him. That is why people said, “He has been arrested.”

This saying is paralleled to a person who commits evil deeds thinking that he will not be known in his life. This person commits these evil deeds by stealing people’s property and taking people’s wives, because of his wicked conduct in his life. He is troubled by glitches of defending himself in various cases because of being repeatedly arrested committing these evil deeds in his village in his life.

This person resembles the thief who took food from people’s fields at night until he was caught, because he also commits evil deeds until he is caught in his life. That is why people say, “He has been arrested.”
