KISWAHILI: ACHIA HUKO WAJE WACHACHE.

Walikuwepo watu waliokuwa wakinywesha ng’ombe wao kwenye malambo yao. Watu hao, walikuwa wakiyachimba malambo hayo kwenye mito baada ya mito hiyo kukauka, kwa ajili ya kuwanyweshea ng’ombe wao hao. Wao walikuwa wakikata ng’ombe wachache wanaenda kunywa ili wasije wakayakanyaga maji hayo na kuyachafua, mpaga wakamaliza kuwanywesha wote. Ndiyo maana mmoja wao alimwambia mwenzake, “achia huko waje wachache.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huyatekeleza majukumu yakwe kwa umakini mkubwa, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huanza kuitekeleza kila kazi kwa umakini huo wa kuielewa vizuri na kuitekeleza itakiwavyo mpaka mwisho. Yeye hupata mafanikio mengi ya mali katika utumishi wake kwa sababu ya umakini wako huo mkubwa alio nao katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale wanywesha ng’ombe waliowang’wesha ng’ombe wao kwa umakini mkubwa, kwa sababu naye huyatekeleza majukumu yake kwa umakini huo mkubwa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana husema, “achia huko waje wachache.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini mkubwa wa kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mali za kutosha kuwasaidia katika kuziendeleza vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: LET THERE COME A FEW.

There were people who were letting their cows to drink water in their rivers. Those people had dug wells in the rivers after those rivers dried up, for the sake of getting water for their cattle to drink. They were letting a few cows that were going to drink so that they would not trample on the water and pollute it, until the herdsmen would finish such task by making sure that all cattle have drunk water. That is why one of them said to the other that, “let there come a few.”

This saying is applied to the person who carries out his duties with the utmost seriousness, in his life. Such person begins to carry out each task with the utmost care to understand it enough to carry it out to the end. He achieves much of the financial success in his ministry because of the great care he has in carrying out his responsibilities in his life.

This man resembles to the cowboys who let their cows drink clean water in a great care, because he also carries out his duties with the same vigilance, in his life. That is why they say that,
“let there come a few.”

This saying imparts in people a clue on how to be more careful in fulfilling their responsibilities, so that they can earn enough money to help them in taking care of their families, in lives.

KISWAHILI: HILO LIMECHOSHWA NA KILABU.

Alikuwepo mwanamke mmoja aliyekuwa mlevi wa kunywa sana pombe. Mwanamke huyo, aliitelekeza familia yake kwa kwenda kuishi kwenye vilabu. Yeye alikuwa akinywa pombe na kulewa mpaka kufikia hatua ya kushindwa hata kufanya kazi zake. Ndiyo maana watu waliambiana kwamba, “hilo limechoshwa na kilabu.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huzitumia hovyo mali zake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hupata hela au mali na kuitelekeza familia yake kwa kuzitumia mali zake hizo kwenye mambo yasiyo na maana. Yeye huimaliza pesa yake bila kuisaidia familia yake kwa sababu ya kuziharibu akili zake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na mwanamke yule aliyeitelekeza familia yake kwa kukimbilia kuishi kwenye vilabu vya pombe, huitelekeza familia yake kwa kutumia pesa zake kwenye mambo yasiyo faa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu huambiana kwamba, “hilo limechoshwa na kilabu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya kuziharibu hovyo mali zao, ili waweze kuzitumia kwa kuzilinda vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THAT ONE HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED BY ALCOHOLIC CENTER.

There was a woman who was an alcoholic drinker. She abandoned her family by going to live in clubs which sold alcohol. She was drinking enough to get drunk to the point of not being able to even do her jobs at home. That is why people said to one another, “that one has been exhausted by alcoholic center.”

This saying is related to a man who squanders his possessions in useless things. He earns money or property and abandons his family by spending his resources on trivial matters. He spends his money without helping his family because of damaging his mind in his life.

This man resembles to the woman who abandoned her family by rushing to live in a liquor club, because he also abandons his family by spending his money on trivial things, in his life. That is why people say to one another, “that one has been exhausted by alcoholic center.”

KISWAHILI: MUMETENGENEZA LIPI HAPO?

Alikuwepo mzee aliyewatuma watoto wake kwenda kufanya kazi kwenye shamba lake. Aliwaambia, “nendeni mkapalilie palizi.” Watoto wake walijibu, “sawa baba.”

Watoto wake hao, walienda kupalilia ile palizi kwa kufukia majani kwenye sehemu yote waliyoipalilia. Mzee alipoenda kuwakagua alikuta majani mengi waliyoyafukia yamesimama. Ndiyo maana aliwauliza kwamba, “mumetengezeza lipi hapo?”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao huwa hawatekelezi vizuri kazi walizotumwa na wenzao, katika maisha yao. Watu hao, huyatekeleza vingine majukumu yale walioagizwa kuyafanya, tofauti na walivyoelekezwa. Wao huziharifu kazi zao kwa sababu ya kuacha kuyazingatia maagizo waliyopewa na  wenzao, katika utumishi wao.

Watu hao hufanana na watoto wale ambao hawakuitekeleza vizuri kazi waliopewa na baba yao, kwa sababu nao huwa hawayatekelezi vizuri majukumu yale waliopewa na wenzao, katika maisha yao. Ndiyo maana watu huwauliza kwamba, “mumetengezenza lipi hapo?”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu kuwa na umakini wa kuyaelewa maagizo wanayopewa na wenzao, ili waweze kuyatekeleza vizuri, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THERE?

There was an old man who sent his children to work on his farm. He told them, “Go and weed out the weeds.” His children replied, “OK, father.”

His children, however, went to weed the weeds by covering the leaves in all places where they passed. When the old man went to inspect them, he found that most of the leaves which they had covered had appeared. That is why he asked them, “What have you done there?”

This saying is applied to those people who do not perform well the tasks which have been assigned to them by their associates, in their lifetime. These people, in turn, carry out their tasks assigned to them, contrary to their instructions. They ruin their jobs because they do not pay attention to the instructions given to them by their nobles, in their ministry.

These people are like those children who did not do well the work that was given to them by their father, because they also do not fullfill well their responsibilities which have been given to them by their fellows, in their lives. That is why people ask them, “What have you done there?”

This saying instills in people an idea of being careful enough to understand the instructions which have been given to them by their fellows, so that they can carry them out well, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: HAPO NI USHUSHA SHUSHAJI TU.

Aliyowepo kinyozi mmoja aliyekuwa akimnyoa mtu mwenye upaa. Kinyozi huyo, alinyoa sehemu zile tu ambazo nywele zilikuwepo kwenye kichwa chake mtu huyo kwa sababu nywele zilizo nyingi zilikuwa zimekwisha. Yeye alishusha shusha tu akamaliza kumnyoa mtu huyo. Ndiyo maana kinyozi huyo alisema kwamba, “hapo ni ushusha shushaji tu.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye humfundisha mtu aliye mwelewa, katika kazi yake. Mtu huyo, huwa hahangaiki kumfundisha mwanafunzi wake huyo, kwa sababu ya uelewa wa haraka aliyonao. Yeye hutumia mtu mfupi tu wa kumfundisha, anamaliza kazi yake, kwa sababu ya akili yake hiyo kuwa na wepesi wa kuyaelewa yale yote anayofundishwa.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule kinyozi aliyetumia mtu mfupi kumnyoa mtu mwenye upaa akamaliza, kwa sababu naye hutumia mtu mfupi kumfundisha mtu mwenye uelewa wa haraka anaelewa, katika kazi yake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “hapo ni ushusha shushaji tu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuyaelewa vizuri majukumu yao, ili waweze kuyakeleza vizuri kwa haraka, katika utumishi wao.

ENGLISH: THERE IS JUST DOWNLOADING.

There was one barber who was shaving a bald man. The barber shaved off only the remaining hairs on his head because most of the hairs on his head were gone. He just lowered the download and finished shaving the man. That is why the barber said, “There is just a downloading.”

This saying is compared to the one who teaches an intelligent person. This person does not spend so much time in teaching his student, because of the quick understanding he has. He uses only a short time to do so enough to finish his work; because of the mind of his students being so quick to understand everything which he is taught.

This person resembles the barber who spent a very short time in shaving a bald man; because he also uses a short time in teaching a man who has a quick understanding mind, in his work. That is why he says, “there is just a downloading.”

This saying teaches people about being carefully enough to understand their responsibilities well, so that they can successfully in their ministry.

KISWAHILI: AIBU YA MACHO.

Msemo huo, huangalia mtu yule ambaye hakuenda kumsalimia ndugu yake aliyepata matatizo fulani. Mtu huyo, alisikia juu ya matatizo hayo ya ndugu yake akakaa tu. Siku moja alikutana naye njiani akaona aibu sana. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba ni “aimbu ya macho.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwa hawafariji watu waliopata matatizo, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujali kazi zake tu bila kuwasaidia watu hao waliopata matatizo kwa sababu ya kutokujali kwake. Yeye hujisikia aibu watu hao wanapoenda kumsalimia nyumbani kwake, maishani kwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeacha kwenda kumtembelea ndugu yake aliyepata matatizo mpaka mwishowe wakakutana naye njiani, kwa sababu naye huwa hawafariki watu waliopata matatizo mpaka watu hao wanaenda kumsalimu kwenye familia yake, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana yeye hujisikia “aimbu ya macho” anapoonana nao.

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwafariji wenzao waliopata matatizo kwa kuwatembelea kule waliko, ili waweze kuishi nao vizuri, maishani mwao.

Mwanzo 3:6-13.

ENGLISH: THAT IS ‘KAKUNGUBALA (AN ANT).’

The overhead saying refers to a creature which is locally called ‘kakungub’ala.’ This creature is a type of squirrel that always runs away. It does not settle in one place, in its life. That is why people say to one another, “that is ‘kakungubala (an ant).’”

This saying is applied to a person who does not stay at his family, in life. This person, in turn, walks carelessly because of his reluctance to work. He suffers from famine in his family, because of his way of walking here and there without working, in his life.

This person resembles to the kakumgub’ala that ran all the time, without resting in one place, because he also does not stay at his family in life. That is why when people see him, say to one another, “that is ‘kakungubala (an ant).”

This saying, teaches people on how to live well with their families, by striving to fulfill their responsibilities, so that they can better develop their families, in their lives.
