KISWAHILI: NIMEZIDIWA NISAIDIENI.

Alikuwepo mtu mmoja aliyekuwa akivuka mto kwenye kijiji cha Mwatuma. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akifikiri kwamba angeweza kuuvuka mto huo kwa sababu ya utalaam wake wa kuogelea. Alishtukia ule mto ukaanza kumzidi nguvu mpata mwishowe alilazimika kuomba msaada kutoka kwa watu wengine kwa sababu ya yeye kuanza kuishiwa nguvu. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “nimezidiwa nisaidieni.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujidai kujua kila kitu kwa kuwadharau wenzake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujifikiria kwamba ana akili nyingi kuliko wenzake wote kwa sababu ya dharau yake hiyo kwa watu. Yeye hupata matatizo ya kuishiwa chakula kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya kuwadharau watu wale ambao wangemsaidia, katika maisha hake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyetaka kuvuka mto uliotaka kumpeleka mpata akasaidiwa na watu, kwa sababu naye huwadharau wenzake ambao wanaweza kumsaidia katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “nimezidiwa nisaidieni.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na heshima kwa watu kwa kuachana na dharau kwa wenzao, ili kila mmoja aweze kuufikia wito wake, na kupata mafanikio mengi, katika maisha yake.

Zaburi 77:2-4.

ENGLISH: I HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED, HELP ME.

There was a man who was crossing the river in the village of Mwatuma. He thought that he could manage crossing it because of his swimming skills. He was shocked that the river started to overpower him until he finally had to ask for help from other people because he started losing his strength. That is why he said, “I have been overwhelmed, help me.”

This saying is equated to a person who claims to know everything by despising his colleagues, in his life. Such person thinks that he is more intelligent than all his nobles because of his contempt to them. He experiences problems of running out of food in his family, because of despising the people who could help him, in his life.

This person resembles the one who wanted to cross the river that overhelmed him until he got help from people, because he also despises his colleagues who can help him in his life. That is why he says, “I have been overwhelmed, help me.”

This saying teaches people about having respect to people by stopping despising them, so that they can get a lot of successes in their lives.

KISWAHILI: SIKO KUTISHWA.

Msemo huo huongelea juu ya mtu yule ambaye hatishwi katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, ana baba yake anayemtegemea ambaye ana nguvu nyingi za kumwezesha kuwashinda wote wanaomuonea katika kijiji chake. Ndiyo maana mtoto wake huyo, husema kwamba, “siko kutishwa.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye humtegemea Mungu katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, alishamwamini Mungu kwa imani kubwa kwa sababu Yeye aweza yote na hashindwi na viumbe wake. Yeye huishi salama pamoja na wanafamilia wake kwa sababu ya kumtegemea Mungu aliyeumba vitu vyote, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mtoto aliyemtegemea baba yake aliyekuwa na nguvu nyingi, kwa sababu naye pia humtegemea Mungu awezaye yote. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “siko kutishwa.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kumwamini Mungu na kumtegemea Yeye maishani mwao, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani, katika familia zao.

MTU HUYU SIJUI ATOKAKO NA AENDAKO – UPEPO.

Kitendawili hicho huongelea juu ya upepo. Upepo huo huvuma kuelekea sehemu mbalimbali, lakini huwa haujulikani unakotoka na unakoelekea. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “mtu huyu sijui atokako na aendako – Upepo.”

Mtu huyo, hupendelea kutembea hovyo bila kutulia kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya uvivu wake wa kutokufanya kazi. Yeye hushindwa kuiendeleza vizuri familia yake kwa sababu ya kutokutulia nyumbani kwake huko, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na ule upepo usiojulikana kule uendako na ulikotoka, kwa sababu naye hudhurura hovyo bila kutulia nyumbani kwake, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “mtu huyu sijui atokako na aendako – Upepo.”

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

I HEAR IT BUT I DO NOT SEE IT – VOICE.

The overhead riddle looks at the sound that one hears without seeing. There was a person who heard a voice calling him without seeing the person calling him. Such man responded and did what the voice told him. That is why people told each other that, “I hear it but I do not see it – Voice.”

This paradox is compared to the person who listens well to people who give him a message and implements it in his life. Such person is sent to carry out duties by his colleagues whom he obeys them well because of his sincerity in life. He lives in peace with his colleagues because of his honesty in his life.

This person resembles the one who obeyed the voice that called him without seeing the person who called him, because he also listens well to the words which are said to him by his colleagues and carries out the message that is given to him.

This riddle instills in people an idea of having habit of listening and understanding words of their nobles, so that they can courteously raise their families.
