KISWAHILI: ASIYEKANYAGA KISHIKILIA CHOMBO CHA KUPIKIA.

Alikuwepo mwanaume wa kwenye familia moja aliyekuwa amekataa kupika chakula. Mwanaume huyo, alikuwa akipikiwa chakula hicho na mke wake kila siku, katika maisha yake. Yeye hukufahamu kukanyaga kishikilia chombo cha kupikia. Ndiyo maana watu walimuita kwamba, “asiyekanyaga kishikilia chombo cha kupikia.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huyatekeleza kwa bidii majukumu anayoyaelewa vizuri kwa kufuata maumbile yake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujibidisha kuzifanya kazi ambazo anazifahamu, kwa kuanzia asubuhi hadi hata jioni. Yeye huwa ajiingizi kwenye kazi zile ambazo haizifahamu vizuri, kwa sababu hupenda kuwaachia wazitekeleze wale wanaozielewa, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi zaidi, maishani mwao.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na mwanaume yule aliyemwachia kazi ya kupika yule anayeilewa ambaye ni mke wake, kwa sababu naye huwaachia wengine wayatekeleze majukumu yale asiyoyafahamu vizuri, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita kwamba, “asiyekanyaga kishikilia chombo cha kupikia.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kujifunza kazi, na kujibidisha kuzitekeleza zile wanazozifahamu, kwa kuwaachia wengine wanaozifahamu zile wasizozifahamu, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi zaidi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: HE WHO DOES NOT STEP ON THE COOKING VESSEL HOLDER.

There was a man in who refused to cook in his family. His wife cooked for him every day. He did not know how to step on a cooking utensil. That is why people called him, “he who does not step on the cooking vessel holder.”

This saying is compared to a person who diligently carries out responsibilities that he fully understands by following in his life. Such person in turn, strives to fulfill those responsibilities which he is familiar with, from morning till evening. He does not engage in activities that he does not know well, because he likes to let those who understand them fulfill them, so that they can have more success in their lives.

This person resembles the man who left his cooking job to his wife; because he also lets others take on responsibilities that he does not know well, in his life. That is why people call him, “he who does not step on the cooking vessel holder.”

This saying imparts in people an idea on how learn a trade, and strives to apply what they know, by letting others do who know what they do not know, so that they may have more success in their lives.

KISWAHILI: HUYO AMETEMBELEA MAENEO MENGI.

Msemo huo, huongelea juu ya utembeleaji wa maeneo mengi yaliyoko kwenye tawala fulani. Alikuwepo mkulima aliyekuwa akiwatembelea watu wake wote kwa miguu. Mkulima huyo, alifanikiwa kupata mazao mengi yakiwemo yale ya chakula, ambayo yalimwezesha kusifika mpaka kwenye tawala za maeneo mengine, kule ambako hakuwahi kufika, kwa sababu ya kueleweka kwake kulikofikisha na watu waliopata chakula kutoka kakwe, na wengine waliopata nafasi ya kumuona. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “huyo ametembelea maeneo mengi.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni kiongozi wa watu katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwatembelea watu wake kwa malengo maalumu, ya kuleta faida katika maendeleo yao. Yeye huwafundisha watu wake njia mbalimbali za kupata faida za kuendelea kuwambelea kwa malengo yenye manufaa kwao, kwa sababu huwa hatembei bila la lengo lenye kuleta maendeleo kwa wananchi wake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na mkulimwa aliyepata mazao yalimuwezesha kusifika kwa watu wengi, kwa sababu naye huwaongoza watu wake kupitia maisha yake namna ya kupanga safari zenye malengo ya kuwaendeleza watu wake, badala ya kutembea bure tu, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “huyo ametembelea maeneo mengi.”

Msemo huyo, hufundisha watu juu kupanga safari zenye kuleta manufaa ya kuwaendeleza watu wao, badala ya kusafiri bila faida yoyote, ili waweze kupata maendeleo makubwa, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THAT ONE HAS VISITED MANY PLACES.

The above saying refers to the visit of someone to many places which were located in certain administrations. There was a farmer who visited all his people on foot. Such farmer managed to get a lot of produce, including food, which enabled him to be famous to other places, where he had never been there, because of his being understood by the people who received food from him. Others had the opportunity to see him. That is why people said, “that one has visited many places.”

This saying is compared to the person who is the leader of the people in his life. He visits his people for specific purposes, enough to bring benefits to their development. He teaches his people various ways for gaining welfares of continuing to pursue them with goals that are beneficial to them.  He does not walk without a goal that brings development to his people, in his life.

This man resembles the farmer who got produce that made him famous, because he also guides his people through his life on how to plan trips which aim at developing his people, instead of just walking aimlessly, in his life. That is why people say to him, “that one has visited many places.”

This saying teaches people on how to plan successful trips for the betterment of their people, rather than traveling without any benefit, so that they can make great progress in their lives.

KISWAHILI: UMEKATAA KATA KATA UTAJISABABISHIA KIFO CHAKO MWENYEWE.

Methali hiyo, huangalia ukataaji wa moja kwa moja ambao humsababishia mtu kifo chake. Ukataaji wa moja kwa moja ni wa kukataa kuupokea ushauri wa kuacha kutenda maovu ambayo huweza kumletea kifo chake mwenyewe aliyeyatenda hayo maovu.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa akiiba mifugo ya watu. Mtu huyo, alikataa ushauri aliopewa na wenzake wa kuyaacha maovu. Siku moja alipoiba alikamatwa na watu akapigwa mpaga akaokolewa na polisi. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “umekataa kata kata utajisababishia kifo chako mwenyewe.”

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa mtu mwenye tabia mbaya, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hutenda matendo maovu ambayo huweza kumsababishia matatizo makubwa, kwa sababu ya kutokukubali kwake kuyaacha. Yeye hakubali kuonywa na wenzake kwa sababu ya kiburi alicho nacho, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mwizi wa mifugo alikamatwa na kupigwa mpaka akaokolewa na polisi, kwa sababu naye hakubali kuacha matendo maovu anapoonywa na wenzake, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “umekataa kata kata utajisababishia kifo chako mwenyewe.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kukubali kuonywa na wenzao kwa kuacha kutenda maovu katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: YOU HAVE STRONGLY REFUSED YOU WILL CAUSE YOUR OWN DEATH.

This proverb looks at the rejection of something of someone that results into one self’s death. This denial is the refusal to accept counsel for refraining from wrongdoing that may result in the death of the committer.

There was a man who was stealing people’s livestock. Such man however, rejected the advice which was given to him by his associates to turn away from evil doing. One day when he stole something, he was arrested by people and beaten. Fortunately that he was rescued by police. That is why people told him that, “you have strongly refused you will cause your own death.”

This proverb is likened to a man who had a wicked attitude, in his life. This person, in turn, commits a crime that could lead him to serious problems, because of his refusal to give up. He does not accept the warnings of his fellows because of his pride in his life.

This man resembles to the cattle thief, who was arrested and beaten until he was rescued by the police, because he too refused to stop doing evils when he was warned by his age group, in his life. That is why people tell him that, “you have strongly refused you will cause your own death.”

This proverb imparts in people an idea on how to accept warnings of others enough to stop doing evils in their lives, so that they can live in peace with one another, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: LA KUFA PAKA.

Msemo huo, huangalia ujitafutiaji wa paka mpaka kufa kwake. Paka hujitafutia chakula chake kwa umakini mkubwa ikiwa ni pamoja na kujirusha kwa lengo la kumshutukiza yule anayetaka kumuua.

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi zake kuanzia asubuhi mpaka jioni, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, ana bidii kubwa sana ya kuyatekeleza majukumu yake yakiwemo yale ya kulima kwa sababu ya yeye kufanya kazi tangia asubuhi hadi jioni. Yeye hupata mali nyingi sana kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya kujibidisha kwake kuyatekeleza majukumu yake, muda wote wenye mwanga wa Jua, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule paka aliyefanya kazi kubwa ya kujitafutia mahitaji yake, kwa sababu naye huyatelekeza majukumu yake kuanzia asubuhi hadi jioni, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “la kufa paka.”

That is why people say, “It is of dying cat.”

This saying is applied to a man who performs his duties from morning till evening, in his life. This man is very diligent in carrying out his responsibilities, such as farming because of his hard work from morning till evening. He gets a lot of wealth for his family, because of his being serious hard working enough to carry out his responsibilities all the time, in his life.
