This person is always overwhelmed with a lot of works to the point of missing even have time to rest, because of his great effort to work. He gets a lot of success in his family because of his hard working mentality in his life.

KISWAHILI: MTU MKUBWA LAKINI HANA MJI.

Msemo huo, huongelea mtu mkubwa ambaye hana mji. Alikuwepo mtu kwenye kijiji cha Ng’watuju aliyekuwa akifanya kazi zake kila wakati kwa sababu ya bidii yake kuyatekeleza majukumu hayo. Yeye hakuoa kwa sababu ya kazi zake hizo maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “mtu mkubwa lakini hana mji.”

 Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyeamua kumtumikia Mungu kwa kuishi maisha bila ndoa, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujitolea kwa Mungu kwa kuishi maisha ya kumtumikia Yeye peke yake bila ndoa kwa sababu ya imani yake hiyo kubwa kwa Mungu, maishani mwake. Yeye huwasaidia watu wengi katika kumtumikia Mungu vizuri kwa kunruhusu kila mmoja kufuata wito wake, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo, maishani kwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeacha maisha ya ndoa ili apate nafasi ya kufanya kazi zake vizuri, kwa sababu naye humtumikia Mungu kwa kuacha maisha hayo ya ndoa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “mtu mkubwa lakini hana mji.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuuelewa wito wao na kuuishi vizuri, ili waweze kufika mbinguni, baada ya maisha haya ya hapa duniani.

ENGLISH: A BIG MAN BUT HAS NO FAMILY.

This saying speaks of a great man who has no family. There was a man in the village of Ng’watuju who was always doing his daily works because of his diligence in carrying out those duties. He did not marry because of his works in his life. That is why people told him that, “a big man but has no family.”

 This saying is related to man who decided to serve God by living a life without marriage, in his life. This man dedicates himself to God by living a life of serving Him alone without marriage because of his great faith in God, in his life. He helps many people in serving God well by allowing each one to follow his/her calling, because of his faithfulness in life.

This person resembles the one who left the married life so that he could have a chance to do his works well, because he also serves God by leaving that married life, in his life. That is why people told him that, “a big man but has no family.”

This saying teaches people about understanding their calling and living it well, so that they can reach heaven after passing away.

KISWAHILI: AMBALO HALIPO MACHONI MOYONI LIPO.

Msemo huo, huongelea juu ya maneno ya kuambiwa bila kuyaona. Mtu anaweza kuambiwa maneno na kuyaweka moyoni mwake ambaye baadaye yataanza kumuumiza wakati hatajayaona wala hafahamu vizuri ukweli wake. Yule anayeusikia ukweli na kuuweka moyoni hufaidika maishani mwake, kwa sababu ukweli huo atabaki nao moyoni mwake. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “ambalo halipo machoni moyoni lipo.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufikiria kwa makini maneno anayoyasikia mpaga anauhafamu ukweli wake ndipo anayatunza moyoni mwake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hufayanyia utafiti kwa umakini yale yote anayoyasikia ili aweze kuyachambua yale yaliyo ya kweli na yale yaliyo ya uongo, kwa sababu hapendi kuutesa moyo wake kwa kushikilia maneno ya uongo. Yeye huishi kwa amani na watu wake kwa kuilea vizuri familia yake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule aliyeshikiria maneno ya ukweli katika moyo wake, kwa sababu naye huyatafakari vizuri maneno anayosikia ili ayahafamu yaliyo ya kweli na kuyaweka moyoni mwake. Ndiyo maana huwaambia watu kwamba, “ambalo halipo machoni moyoni lipo.”

ENGLISH: WHAT IS OUT OF EYESIGHT IT IS IN THE HEART.

The above saying talks about words which are said without seeing them. A person can be told words and keep them in his heart, which will later start to hurt him while he does not see them and does not know their truth. The one who hears the truth and keeps it in his heart benefits in his life, because he keeps such truth in his heart. That is why people say that, “what is out of eyesight it is in the heart.”

This saying is related to the person who thinks carefully about the words which he hears by memorizing the truth about them and keeps it in his heart. This person carefully researches everything that he hears so that he can analyze what is true and what is false, because he does not like to torture his heart by holding on to false words. He lives in peace with his people by raising his family well.

This person is similar to the one who holds the words of truth in his heart, because he also ponders the words he hears so that he remembers what is true and keeps it in his heart. That is he tell people that, “what is out of eyesight it is in the heart.”

This saying teaches people on how to carefully measure true words and take good care of them, in fulfilling their duties, so that they can raise well their family members.
