KISWAHILI: BIBI KIZEE MWAGALA, KICHWA MONDO.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo, humuongelea bibi kizee mwenye miaka mingi. Bibi kizee huyo, aweza kuyapeleka mawazo yake kwingine wakati munaongea neno fulani naye. Yeye aweza hata kuduwaa tu kwa kukaa kimya wakati anaongea neno fulani na mwenzake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “bibi kizee Mwagala, kichwa Mondo.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi wakati mawazo yake yako kwingine ambako ni mbali na pale, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huenda kulima shambani wakati mawazo yake yako nyumbani kwake, kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kutekeleza jambo moja kwanza na kulimaliza. Yeye hushindwa kuzimaliza vizuri kazi zake, kwa sababu ya kufikiria kitu kingine wakati anafanya kazi  zake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule bibi kizee aliyeweka mawazo yake kwingine wakati anaongea na mwenzake, kwa sababu naye huyaweka mawazo yake mbali na kazi anayoifanya wakati huo, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “bibi kizee Mwagala, kichwa Mondo.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kufanya kazi zao kwa kuweka mawazo yao kwenye kazi hizo wanazozifanya wakati huo, ili waweze kupata mali nyingi katika kazi zao hizo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: OLD LADY MWAGALA, HEAD MONDO.

The cradle of the overhead proverb is talking about an old woman who had many years of old. Such old lady could take her thoughts elsewhere while talking to her. She could even become stunned just by staying silent when she is speaking about something to her partner. That is why people said about her that, “old lady Mwagala, head Mondo.”

This proverb is compared to a person who works when his thoughts are elsewhere, which is far from there, in his life. Such person goes to work to the field while his mind is at home, because of lack of focus enough to do one thing first and finish it. He fails to complete his tasks properly, because of thinking about something else while doing his tasks, in his life.

This person is similar to the old lady who put her thoughts elsewhere when she was talking to her partner, because he also keeps his thoughts away from the work which he is doing at that time. That is why people tell him that, “old lady Mwagala, head Mondo.”

This proverb teaches people about doing their works by putting their thoughts on the works which they are doing at that time, so that they can get a lot of wealth in their works in daily lives.

Hunagwene abhanhu abho bhabhitaga aha nzila yiniyo, bhagang’wila giki, “ulinogela jib’ele.”

Umunhu ng’wunuyo, agikomejaga kutumama milimo yakwe bho gwingila diyu mpaga mhindi kunguno aidebhile isolobho ya milimo yakwe yiniyo, aha shigu ijahabhutongi.

KISWAHILI: UNACHOKA KWA FAIDA.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyelima shamba la pamba karibu na njia. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akilima shambani mwake humo kuanzia asubuhi hadi jioni. Lakini ulifika wakati, akawa analima pole pole kwa sababu ya uchovu wa kufanya kazi yake hiyo kwa muda mrefu. Ndiyo maana watu waliokuwa wakipita kwenye njia hiyo, walimwambia kwamba, “unachoka kwa faida.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huvumilia kufanya kazi ngumu mpaka anaimaliza, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujibidisha kufanya kazi zake kuanzia asubuhi hadi jioni kwa sababu anazielewa faida za kazi hizo, katika siku za mbeleni. Yeye hupata mali yenye thamani ya kuwa na vitu vingi sana kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya uvumilivu wake huo wa kufanya kazi mpaka anaimaliza vizuri, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mkulima wa pamba aliyelima kuanzia asubuhi hadi jioni, kwa sababu naye hujibidisha kufanya kazi zake kwa uvumilivu kuanzia asubuhi hadi anazimaliza vizuri, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “unachoka kwa faida.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kufanya kazi zao kwa uvumilivu mpaga wanazimaliza vizuri, ili waweze kupata mafanikio ya kuwa na mali nyingi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: YOU ARE GETTING TIRED FOR PROFITS

There was a man who cultivated a cotton field near a pathway. Such man was farming in his field from morning to evening. But when the time came, he was slowly plowing because of the fatigue of doing his work for a long time. That is why the people who were passing by that way, told him that, “you are getting tired for profits.”

This proverb is compared to the person who endures doing hard work until he finishes it, in his life. Such person tries to do his work from morning to evening because he understands the benefits of such work in the future. He gets a valuable asset enough to have many things in his family, because of his patience of working until he finishes it well, in his life.

This person is similar to the cotton farmer who cultivated from morning to evening, because he also has to do his work patiently from morning until he finishes it well, in his life. That is why people tell him that, “you are getting tired for profits.”

This proverb, teaches people about doing their works with patience until they finish them well, so that they can get the success of having a lot of wealth in their lives.
