ENGLISH: GETTING MARRIAGE FOR THE NASSA PEOPLE NEED GOD’S GRACE.

The source of this saying is the Nassa people and how they struggle to get married. In the past, it was very difficult for people coming from a place called Nassa to get married. Much as they were struggling to get partners for marriage, it was not easy to accomplish the marriage mission. If one of them managed to get married then she/he was considered to be blessed.

This saying can be compared to a person who prays to God for a specific help, including getting a good and life-long bride. This person knows the power of God and therefore entrusts Him his/her needs with hope that they will be resolved and with great success. This person, like the Nassa people, is thankful to God because He enables him/her fulfill his/her ambitions. He/she teaches other people about the power of prayers and respect to God in order to have a successful life.

This proverb teaches people to pray to God before doing what they want to do. They also need to thank Him when they have accomplished it. When they do so, they can have good achievements in their societies.

ENGLISH: THE CLEANER KNOWS THE SECRET OF THE DEAD.

The foundation of the overhead proverb is the washing of dead bodies. This cleaning of the corpse enables the one who washes them to discover the mystery of the deceased, because he/she gets an opportunity to look at the whole body.
Such secret helps to understand the deceased’s life during his/her lifetime. He/she takes care of those jewels, in lifetime. That is why people say, ”the cleaner knows the secret of the dead.’

Such proverb is compared to the man who takes good care of secrets of his family, in his life. Such man does not speak to any person his family’s words, because he knows how to keep his family secret. He builds his family well by living happily with others, in their lives.

The man is like a corpse cleaner who treats the mysteries of the dead, because he also builds his family well, by keeping his family’s secret, in his life.
In his own life, he teaches his family members on how to build their families, by taking good care of the secrets of their families. That is why he tells people, ‘the cleaner knows the secret of the dead.’

This proverb imparts in people an idea on how to properly build their families, by safeguarding their secrets, in their lives, so that they can live happily with others, in their lives.
