KISWAHILI: WANAOINGIA MJINI SIO KWAMBA WAJINGA.

Msemo huo huongelea watu walioingia mjini. Mjini huishi watu wengi ambao hufanya kazi mbalimbali kila mmoja akiwa na yake kwa sababu ya wingi wa kazi hizo.

Lakini basi, baadhi ya watu wanaoishi vijijini huwafikiria kama ni wajinga wale wanaongia mjini kwa sababu ya kudharau kazi za humo mjini. Ndiyo maana watu huwaambia kwamba, “wanaoingia mjini sio kwamba wajinga.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hudharau hovyo kazi anazoziona, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huchagua kazi zilizorahisi kuzifanya kwa sababu ya dharau yake hiyo ya baadhi ya kazi, maishani mwake. Yeye hukosa kazi za kufanya katika familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya dharau yake ya kazi anazoziona, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale waliowaona kama ni wajinga watu walioingia mijini, kwa sababu naye huzidharau hovyo kazi anazoziona, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “wanaoingia mjini sio kwamba wajinga.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha kudharau kazi wanazoziona katika maeneo yao ili waweze kufanya kazi za kuwawezesha kuziendeleza vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THOSE WHO ENTER THE CITY ARE NOT STUPID.

This saying speaks of people who entered the city. Many people live in cities who do different jobs, each one with his own because of having a number of jobs in them.

But then, some people who live in rural areas think that those who move to the cities are stupid because they despise jobs which are in the cities. That is why people tell them that, “those who enter the city are not stupid.”

This saying is related to a person who carelessly despises works which he sees in his life. Such person chooses easy jobs because of his disdain for some jobs in his life. He misses work to do in his family because of his disdain for works which he sees in his life.

This person resembles the one who considered people who entered the cities as idiots, because he also despises works which he sees in his life. That is why people tell him that, “those who enter the city are not stupid.”

This saying teaches people about stopping scorning jobs which they see in their areas so that they can do jobs that can enable them to nicely develop their families, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: YAMEANGUKA MATONE.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huangalia matone ya mvua ambayo hutangulia inapotaka kunyesha. Matone hayo, huanguka kidogo kidogo mwishowe yanakuwa mvua kubwa. Kumbe basi, matone hayo huwa ni alama ya kuanza kunyesha mvua. Ndiyo maana watu wakiyaona husema kwamba, “yameanguka matone.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao huenda kula kwenye familia za watu walioivisha chakula, maishani mwao. Watu hao, huenda kula chakula kwenye familia ile wanapoona moshi unatokeza kusubiria chakula hicho mpaka kinaiva, kwa sababu ya uvivu wa kufanya kazi kwenye familia zao. Wao hushindwa kuziendeleza familia zao kwa sababu ya uvivu huo wa kufanya kazi zao, wakitegemea kwenda kula chakula cha wenzao.

Watu hao hufanana na yale matone ya mvua ambayo huongezeka kidogo kidogo mpaka mwishowe yanakuwa mvua, kwa sababu nao huenda kula kwenye familia za watu mpaga mwishowe wanatosheka, katika maisha yao. Ndiyo maana watu huwasema kwamba, “yameanguka matone.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuachana na tabia ya uvivu wa kufanya kazi wakitemea kula kwenye familia za wenzao, kwa kujibidisha kufanya kazi, ili waweze kuziendeza vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: DROPS HAVE FALLEN.

The basis of this saying looks at the raindrops that precede when it wants to rain. These drops fall little by little and finally become heavy rain. However, those drops are signs of rain. That is why when people see them, they say, “drops have fallen.”

This saying is related to people who go to eat in families of others who fed them, in their lives. Those people go to eat food in the family when they see smoke coming out and wait for the food until it is cooked, because of their laziness of working in their families. They fail to support their families because of their laziness of doing their works, by depending on going to eat their friends’ food.

Those people are like the raindrops which increase little by little until they finally become rain, because they also go to eat in the families of people who are finally satisfied, in their lives. That is why people say that, “drops have fallen.”

This saying teaches people about abandoning habit of working lazily while spitting in families of their colleagues, by forcing themselves to work, so that they can manage to run well their families, in their lives.
