KISWAHILI: KALALA NJAA HUYU.

Hapo zamani alikuwepo mtu aliyeishi kwenye kijiji cha Sanjo. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akikimaliza haraka chakula alichokipata kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kuvitunza vizuri vyakula hivyo. Yeye alikuwa na huzuni kwa sababu ya kukosa chakula kwenye familia yake hiyo mpaga akafikia hatua ya kulala bila kula chakula, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “kalala njaa huyu.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huzitumia hovyo mali anazozipata, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hupata mali zake na kuzitumia hovyo kwa kuzinunulia vitu visivyo na faida kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kuzitumia vizuri mali zake hizo, maishani mwake. Yeye huzimaliza mali zake hiyo mpaka anafikia hatua ya kulala bila kula chakula kwenye familia yake hiyo, kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini huo wa kuzitunza vizuri mali anazozipata, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule aliyekimaliza haraka chakula chake mpaka akafikia hatua ya kulala bila kula chakula katika familia yake hiyo, kwa sababu naye huzitumia hovyo mali zake mpaka anaishiwa na kulala bila kula chakula katika familia yake hiyo, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “kalala njaa huyu.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuzitunza vizuri mali zao, ili waweze kuwa na chakula cha kutosha kula vizuri, katika familia zao.

ENGLISH: THIS ONE HAS SLEEP HUNGRY.

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived in the village of Sanjo. That man used to quickly finish food which he got because he was not careful enough to take decent care of it. He was so sad because of food shortage in his family that he went to bed without eating food in his life. That is why people said about him that, “This one has slept hungry.”

This saying is compared to a person who spends his money in a wasteful way. This person earns his money and spends it in a wasteful way by buying useless things for his family, because he is not careful enough to take virtuous care of the money which he gets, in his life. He spends his money until he reaches the point of going to bed without eating food in his family, because of not being careful enough to take decent care of his money in his life.

This person is like the one who quickly finished his food until he reached the point of going to bed without eating food in his family, because he also spends his wealth in such a way that he runs out and goes to bed without eating food in his family, in his life. That is why people say about him that, “this one has slept hungry.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of being careful enough to take respectable care of their wealth, so that they can have enough food to eat, in their families.

KISWAHILI: KWA NINI UNAJIUNGUZA?

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa mlevi wa pombe kali katika maisha yake. Pombe hiyo iliuharibu mwili wake kwa sababu ya ukali wake huo. Mtu huyo, alijulikana sana kwenye kijiji chake kwa sababu ya ulevi wake huo. Ndiyo maana watu walimuuliza kwamba “kwa nini anajiunguza?”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huudhuru mwili wake kwa kutenda matendo ambayo humletea matatizo, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hula chakula kupita kiasi mpaga anaugua kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kuwa na kiasi maishani mwake. Yeye huuharibu mwili wake huo kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini huo wa kuwa na kiasi katika matumizi ya vitu vyake katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyelewa pombe kali mpaka akaiharibu afya yake, kwa sababu naye hula chakula kupita kiasi mpaka anaugua, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuuliza kwamba, “kwa nini anajiunguza?”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuvitumia vitu vyao kwa kiasi kizuri, ili waweze kuzilinza vizuri afya zao, katika maisha yao hayo.

ENGLISH: WHY DO YOU HURT YOURSELF?

There was a man who was a heavy drinker of alcohol in his life. The alcohol destroyed his body because of its intensity. Such man became so well known in his village because of his alcoholism. That is why people asked him that, “Why do you hurt yourself?”

This saying is equaled to a person who harms his body by doing deeds that cause him hitches in his life. This man eats too much food to the point of getting sick because of a lack of attention to moderation in his life. He destroys his body because of his lack of attention to such moderation in using of his belongings in life.

This man is similar to a person who drank too much alcohol to the point of ruining his health, because he also eats too much food until he gets sick, in his life. That is why people ask him that, “Why do you hurt yourself?”

This saying teaches people about being so careful enough to use their possessions in the right way, so that they can take respectable care of their health in their lives.

KISWAHILI: MLE NAYE TU.

Alikuwepo mtoto aliyekuwa akiishi kwenye familia tajiri. Mtoto huyo, alitaka kula na watu wazima kilipowekwa mezani chakula chao kwa sababu alikuwa na njaa. Watu walimzuia kukila chakula hicho kwa sababu kiliwa cha watu wazima. Ndiyo maana mzee wa familia hiyo aliwaambia kwamba, “mle naye tu.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa familia ya watu wale ambao ni wakarimu katika maisha yao. Watu hao huwakaribisha watu wote kula chakula chao kinapoiva kwa sababu ya ukarimu wao huo, maishani mwao. Wao hupata Baraka za kuishi kwa furaha kubwa katika familia yao, kwa sababu ya ukarimu wao huo katika maisha yao.

Familia ya watu hao, hufanana na yule mzee aliyekula chakula chake pamoja na watoto kilipoiva, kwa sababu nao huwakaribisha watu wote kula chakula chao kinapoiva, katika familia yao. Ndiyo maana wao husema kwamba, “mle naye tu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na ukarimu wa kuwasaidia wenzao wanaokumbwa na matatizo mbalimbali, ili waweze kuishi kwa furaha kubwa katika familia zao.

ENGLISH: EAT ONLY WITH HIM.

There was a child who lived in a rich family. This child wanted to eat with adults when their food was placed on the table because he was hungry.  People prevented him from eating such food because it was for adults. That is why the elder of the family told them that, “eat only with him.”

This saying is related to the family of people who are generous in their lives. These people invite everyone to eat their food when it is ready because of their generosity in their lives. They receive blessings of living with great happiness in their family, because of their generosity in their lives.

This family of these people is like the old man who ate his food with children when it was ready, because they also invite everyone in their family to eat their food when it is ready. That is why they say that, “eat only with him.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of being generous enough to help their nobles who are facing various hitches, so that they can live with great happiness in their families.

KISWAHILI: KISIMA CHANGU KIMEKAUKA.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa na kisima kwenye kijiji cha Kishapu. Mtu huyo, alikuwa anakipenda sana kisima chake hicho kwa sababu kilikuwa kinamsaidia sana maishani mwake. Lakini basi, kisima hicho kilikauka akaanza kuhangaika. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “kisima changu kimekauka.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyekuwa tajiri ambaye alifirisika mpaka akaanza kuhangaika, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, alipokuwa tajiri wa mali nyingi, alikuwa akizitumia mali zake hizo kwa majivuno mpaka mwishowe zikaisha, kwa sababu ya kuzitegemea sana mali hizo kwenye kutatua kila tatizo, maishani mwake. Yeye alifirisika mpaka akanza kuhangaika kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya majivuno yake ya kutegemea mali zake na kuzitumia vizuri, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule ambaye kisima alichokuwa anakipenda kilikauka, kwa sababu naye aliishiwa mali zake alizokuwa anazitegemea sana mpaka akaanza kuhangaika, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “kisima changu kimekauka.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha majivuno wanapotajirika, ili waweze kuendana vizuri na wenzao ambao ni maskini, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: MY WELL HAS DRIED UP.

There was a man who had a well in the village of Kishapu. Such man liked his well so much because it supported him a lot in his life. But then, the well dried up until he began to worry. That is why he said that, “my well has dried up.”

This saying is matched to a rich man who lost his wealth until he started to worry, in his life. When this man was rich with a lot of wealth, he used his wealth arrogantly until it finally ran out, because he relied too much on it in solving every difficult in his life. He was broke until he started to worry about his family, because of his pride of relying too much on his wealth in using it.

This man is similar to the one whose well which he liked dried up, because he also ran out of the wealth which he had relied on so much until he started to worry, in his life. That is why he said that, “my well has dried up.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of abandoning pride when they become rich, so that they can fit in well with their poor nobles in their lives.
