KISWAHILI: HAKA NI KAKOLEZA TONGE.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, huongelea kikoleza tonge. Tonge ni kapande cha ugali kinachotumiwa kuchotea mboga na mlaji. Kikoleza tonge ni panzi mwenye umbo dogo ambaye huwa na mafuta mengi sana. Panzi huyo, mtu akimkamata na kumkaanga, mafuta yake huzikoleza tonge za walaji. Ndiyo maana watu hukaita kwamba, “haka ni kakoleza tonge.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu mwenye mwili mdogo ambaye ana nguvu za kufanya kazi kubwa, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hulima mashamba makubwa ya mazao mbali mbali ambayo humpatia mavuno mengi, kwa sababu ya nguvu zake hizo na bidii yake hiyo ya kufanya kazi. Yeye huwasaidia watu wengi, katika kazi zake hizo, kwa sababu ya mavuno mengi yanayoletwa na nguvu zake hizo za kujibidisha kufanya kazi, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule panzi mwenye mafuta ya kukoleza tonge za walaji, kwa sababu naye ana nguvu za kujitapatia maendeleo yanayosaidia watu wengi, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita kwamba, “haka ni kakoleza tonge.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia za kuwadharau watu kwa sababu ya miili yao kuwa midogo, ili waweze kusaidiana vizuri katika kijiletea maendeleo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MAKES A LUMP OF UGALI SWEET.

The above saying speaks of a sweet taste giver to a lump of ugali. This lump of Ugali is a piece of porridge which is used to pick vegetables from a container by eaters.

The taste giver is a small grasshopper that has a lot of fat enough to make the eater enjoy eating their food. That is why people call it that, “this is something that makes a lump of ugali sweet.”

This saying is likened to a man with small body who has the power to do great work, in his life. This man cultivates large fields of various crops that give him a good harvest, because of his strength and hard work. He helps many people, in his work, because of the great harvest that comes with his hard work, in life.

This man is like the grasshopper that has the ability to absorb the saliva of the consumer, because he also has the power to make progress in helping people, in his life. That is why people call him, “this is something that makes a lump of ugali sweet.”

This saying teaches people on how to stop the habit of despising people because of their small bodies, so that they can nicely help each other in the developmental process, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: HAUPIKIWI MARA MBILI.

Chanzo bha msemo huo, huangalia upikaji wa ugali. Ugali huo, ni chakula ambacho hupikwa kwa kutumia chungu au sufulia ambayo huwekewa maji yanayopata moto mpaga yakachemuka ndipo unga unatiwa ndani yake. Wenyewe hupikwa kwa kutumia mwiko ambao huyachanganya hayo maji na ule unga mpaga kinatokea kitu kigumu kinachoitwa ugali. Ugali huo, ukiiva huwa haurudiwi kupikwa tena. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “haupikiwi mara mbili.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa wakulima wale wanaopata chakula kidogo ambacho hulimwa mara moja tu kwa mwaka. Wakulima hao, wakishindwa kupata chakula chakutosha mwaka fulani, hujipa matumaini kwa kutumia msemo huo kwamba, “haupikiwi mara mbili,” kwa sababu hawawezi kuurudisha nyuma mwaka uliokwisha kupita. Wao hujipa matumaini ya kulima tena mwaka unaofuata, ili waweze kupata bahati ya kupata mavuno mengi, maishani mwao.

Wakulimwa hao, hufanana na wale walionshindwa kuupika mara ya pili ugali ulioiva tayari, kwa sababu nao hawawezi kuurudisha nyuma mwaka ule uliopita wakapata chakula kidogo. Ndiyo maana wao husema kwamba, “haupikiwi mara mbili.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na matumaini ya kujibidisha kufanya kazi pale wanapotapa mafanikio kidogo katika kazi zao, ili waweze kupata mali nyingi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: IT IS NEVER COOKED TWICE.

This overhead saying looks at the cooking of stiff porridge. This porridge is a food that is cooked in a pot or saucepan in which water is heated until it boils and the flour is put into it. They themselves are cooked using a cooking stick that mixes the water with the flour and then a hard figure is formed which is called hard porridge. When this porridge is ripe, is not cooked again. That is why people say that, “It is never cooked twice.”

This saying is compared to the farmers who get little food that is grown only once a year. These farmers, sometimes become unable to get enough food for a year. They give themselves hope by saying that, “it is not cooked twice,” because they cannot go back to the previous year. They give themselves hope of plowing again in the following year, so that they may have the good fortune enough to reap bountifully, in their lifetime.

These farmers are like cook who failed to cook the ripe porridge a second time, because they also cannot return back the past year enough to get another food. That is why they say that, “It is never cooked twice.”

This saying teaches people on how to be optimistic by carrying on to work hard when they find little success in their work, so that they can get more wealth, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: LA CHAPU CHAPU.

La chapu chapu ni utekelezaji wa kazi ambao ni wa haraka haraka. Utekelezaji huo, humaliza kazi haraka kwa sababu ya kuweka nguzu nyingi zinayotumika ambazo huiwezesha kazi hiyo, kuisha mapema. Ndiyo maana watu wanaowaona husema kwamba “la chapu chapu.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao huyatekeleza majukumu yao kwa bidii kubwa mpaga kuyamaliza, katika maisha yao. Watu hao, hujibidisha kufanya kazi bila kutegea kwa sababu wanataka wafanikiwe kupata chakula kingi. Wao hupata chakula kingi katika maisha yao kwa sababu ya bidii yao hiyo ya kujibidisha kufanya kazi kwa haraka mpaka kuzimaliza, maishani mwao.

Watu hao, huwafundisha pia watu wao juu ya kuwa na bidii ya kufanya kazi zao vizuri kwa sababu ya upendo walio nao kwao. Wao huwawezesha pia wenzao kupata mafanikio mengi katika utekelezaji wa kazi zao. Ndiyo maana huwaambia watu hao kwamba, “la chapu chapu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na bidii ya kujibidisha kufanya kazi zao kwa haraka mpaka kuzimaliza, ili waweze kupata mafaniko mengi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: IT IS DONE HASTILY.

This saying refers to a quick doing a works. This implementation completes tasks in a very short time because of putting much efforts in them. That is why people who see them working say that, “it is done hastily.”

This saying is applied to people who perform their duties with great diligence from the beginning of a given work to the end of it, in their lives. These people work hard because they want to get a lot of food for feeding their family members. They, as a result, manage to get enough food in their lives because of their hard working lives.

These people also teach their people on how to be diligent in doing well their works because of the true love they have for them. They also enable their fellows to achieve greater successes in carrying out their tasks. That is why they tell them that, “it is done hastily.”

This saying imparts in people an idea on how to be diligent in doing their jobs fast until they finish them, so that they can find more successes in their societies.
