KISWAHILI: NYONGO IMEIVA.

Methali hiyo, huongelea juu ya nyongo iliyoiva. Nyongo hiyo, hupatikana tumboni mwa mifugo ambayo hufanya nyama iwe chungu endapo itapasukia ndani wakati wa kumchuna huyo mnyama. Yenyewe huiharibu hivyo hiyo nyama yote, asipokuwa na uangalifu mchunaji wa mnyama huyo. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “nyongo imeiva.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hukasirika upesi mpaka kufikia hatua ya kukataa kuamriwa hata anapokesowa kwa jambo dogo tu, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hukasirishwa haraka na hata kwa jambo dogo tu, na kukataa kuamriwa kwa sababu ya hasira yake hiyo. Yeye huwahangaisha watu wa kwenye familia yake hiyo, kwa sababu ya ukali wake huo wa kukataa kuamriwa na wenzake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na ile nyongo ambayo huguswa kidogo na kupasuka mpaka inaiharibu nyama yote, kwa sababu naye hukasirishwa hata na jambo dogo tu, na kukataa kuamriwa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “nyongo imeiva.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha hasira ya kukasirika upesi kwa sababu ya jambo dogo tu na kukataa kuamriwa, ili waweze kuzilea vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THE GALL IS RIPE.

This proverb speaks of a ripen gall. The gall is found in a stomach of livestock, which makes the meat bitter if it bursts inside while slaughtering the animal. It itself destroys all the meat, if the slaughterer of such animal is not so careful. That is why people say that, “the gall is ripe.”

This proverb is compared to the person who gets angry quickly to the point of refusing to be ordered even when he is wronged in a small thing, in his life. Such person, gets angry quickly and even in a small thing that he refuses to be ordered because of his anger. He worries the people in his family, because of his harshness in refusing to be ordered by his colleagues, in his life.

This proverb teaches people about stopping getting angry quickly because of a small thing to the point of refusing to be ordered by others, so that they can raise their families well, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: USICHEZE NA NYANI UTAVUNA MABUA.

Nyani ni mnyama mharibifu kabisa kwa wakulima ambaye huenda kula mahindi kwenye mashamba yao. Nyani huyo aweza kuyamaliza kuyala mahindi ya mkulima yule ambaye hucheza naye kwa kutokuyalinda vizuri mashamba yake hayo.

Alikuwepo mkulima yule ambaye alicheza na nyani kwa kuacha kulilinda vizuri shamba lake la mahindi mpaka nyani hao wakayala mahindi yake yote akabakishiwa mabua tu. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “usicheze na nyani utavuna mabua.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huyatelekeza mashamba yake ya chakula mpaka yakafikia hatua ya kuliwa na wanyama waharibifu, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa hayalindi vizuri mashamba yake ya chakula yanapokamaa kwa sababu ya kutokuyajali kwake. Yeye hukuta wanyama hao wameyala mazao yake yote yangali bado shambani kwa sababu ya kutokuyalinda vizuri hivyo mazao yake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule ambaye hakuyalinda vizuri mahindi yake mpaka yakaliwe na nyani yangali bado shambani, kwa sababu naye huyatelekeza mazao yake mpaka yanaisha yote kwa kuliwa na wanyama waharibifu. Ndiyo maana watu humuambia kwamba “usicheze na nyani utavuna mabua.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na ujanja wa kuyalinda vizuri mazao yao ya chakula, ili waweze kuvuna mazao ya kutosha kuwasaidia katika kuzilisha vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: DO NOT PLAY WITH MONKEYS; YOU WILL REAP STALKS.

Monkeys are very destructive animals to farmers because they go to eat maizes in their fields. The monkey can end up eating the maizes of the farmer who plays with him by not protecting his fields properly.

There was a farmer who played with monkeys by not protecting his field of maizes properly until the monkeys ate all the maizes and he was left with only stalks. That is why people told him that, “do not play with monkeys; you will reap stalks.”

This proverb is compared to the person who neglects his food fields until they reach the stage of being eaten by pests, in his life. Such person does not protect his food fields well when they mature because of his carelessness. He finds that pests and other destructive animals have eaten all his crops while they are still in the field because of not protecting them properly, in his life.

Such person is similar to the one who did not protect his maizes properly until they were eaten by monkeys while they were still in the field, because he also neglects his crops until they are all eaten by pests. That is why people tell him that “do not play with monkeys; you will reap stalks.”

This proverb teaches people to be smart enough to protect their food crops, so that they can harvest enough crops to help them in feeding their family members well, in their lives.
