Marko 10: 1-12.

KISWAHILI: MUMETELEKEZWA MITALA.

Walikuwepo wanawake walioolewa kwenye mitala na mwanamume mmoja. Lakini mwanamume huyo, aliishi kwa mwanamke mmoja tu, kwa sababu alimpenda zaidi kuliko wale wengine. Ndiyo maana watu walipogundua hivyo, waliwaambia wale wengine kwamba, “mumetelekezwa mitala.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huanzisha kazi nyingi mpaka anashindwa kuzimaliza, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huanzisha kazi nyingi kwa wakati mmoja ambazo hushindwa kuzikamilisha kwa sababu ya kushindwa kujigawa, katika utumishi wake. Yeye huzitelekeza kazi zake hizo, kwa sababu ya kuzianzisha nyingi kwa wakati mmoja, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeoa wanawake wengi akashindwa kuishi nao vizuri, kwa sababu naye huanzisha kazi nyingi kwa wakati mmoja mpaka anashindwa kuzimaliza vizuri, katika utumishi wake. Ndiyo maana watu huziambia kazi zake hizo kwamba, “mumetelekezwa mitala.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na ndoa ya mke mmoja na kutekeleza kazi moja kwa wakati mmoja, ili waweze kuzitunza vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: YOU HAVE BEEN ABANDONED BY POLYGAMY.

There were women whom were married in polygamy to one man. But such man lived only with one woman, because he loved her more than the others. That is why when people found out, they told the others that, “You have been abandoned by polygamy.”

This saying is compared to a person who starts many tasks until he fails to finish them, in his life. Such person starts many tasks at the same time which he fails to complete because of not being able to divide himself, in his service. He neglects his works, because of starting a number of them at the same time, in his life.

This person is similar to the one who married many women and failed to live well with them, because he also starts many tasks at the same time until he fails to finish them well, in his service. That is why people say to his works that, “you have been abandoned by polygamy.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of having a monogamous marriage and doing one job at a time, so that they can take care of their families well, in their societies.

KISWAHILI: UMETHUBUTU KUCHUNGULIA KWENYE GHALA LANGU.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyeenda ugenini ukweni kwake. Mtu huyo, alithubutu kuchungulia kwenye ghala la mama mkwe wake, kwa sababu ya kutokuwa na mipaka kwake huko. Ndiyo maana mama mkwe wake alimwambia kwamba, “umethubutu kuchungulia kwenye ghala langu.”

Yeye hujiaibisha mwenyewe kweye familia yake kwa sababu ya kutenda kwake mambo ya aibu mbele ya watu wake hao, maishani mwake.

ENGLISH: YOU DARED TO LOOK INTO MY STOCKROOM.

There was a man who went abroad to the house of his wife’s mother. Such man dared to look into his mother-in-law’s warehouse, because of his not having limitations in life. That is why his mother-in-law told him that, “you dared to look into my stockroom.”

KISWAHILI: HICHO NI KICHUGUU CHA ASALI.

Msemo huo, huangalia kichuguu ambacho ni aridhi iliyoinuka juu. Kichuguu hicho kilikuwa na nyuki waliotengeneza nzinga wao ndani yake, kwa sababu kilikuwa na nafasi kubwa ndani yake.

ENGLISH: THAT IS A HONEY TUNNEL.

This saying looks at a tunnel that is a raised land. This tunnel had bees that made their hives in it, because it had a lot of space in it. These bees lived there until they made a lot of honey that many people saw, because of it being near the road. That is why those people said that, “that is a honey tunnel.”

This saying is paralleled to a person who is rich of many assets, in his life. Such person helps many people who come to him expressing their problems, because of his generosity. He lives with a good number of people in his family, because of his loveliness, in his life.
