KISWAHILI: HUYU NAYE NI DALALI TU.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, huongelea mtu aliyekuwa akifanya kazi isiyo yake. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akiifanya vizuri kazi hiyo mpaka baadhi ya watu wakaanza kufikiria kwamba, kazi ile ni yake kwa sababu ya kuijali vizuri. Naye aliposikia watu wengi wakimsifia hivyo, alianza kuifikiria kazi hiyo kama ni yake mwenyewe. Ndiyo maana wale walioufahamu ukweli wa kazi hiyo walisema kwamba, “huyu naye ni dalali tu.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujivunia kazi isiyo yake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hufanya kazi kwenye kibarua na kusema kwamba, anafanya kazi kwenye shamba lake, kwa sababu ya majivuno yake hao, maishani mwake. Yeye hushindwa kuiendeleza vizuri familia yake kwa sababu ya kufanya kazi kwenye vibarua vya mashamba ya watu na majivuno yake hayo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyefanya kazi ya mtu mwingine, akafikiria kuwa ni yake, kwa sababu naye hufanya kazi kwenye vibarua na kusema kwamba, anafanya kazi kwenye Shamba lake. Ndiyo maana watu husema juu yake kwamba, “huyu naye ni dalali tu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kufanya kazi za watu kwa uaminifu na unyofu wa kweli, ili waweze kuzilea vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

KISWAHILI: TUMEKUTANIKA WOTE KWENYE MTUNGI WA MAJI.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo huongelea juu ya ufikaji wa muda wa kula chakula kwa mtoto. Mtoto akizaliwa hutumia maziwa kwa sababu ya kutokuwa na meno ya kumwezesha kula chakula. Hivyo basi, akiota meno yake huanza kula chakula pamoja na watu wazima. Yeye huingia kwenye kundi la watu wazima. Ndiyo maana watu hao husema kwamba, “tumekutanika wote kwenye mtungi wa maji.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao wanaushirikiano wa kuwakalibisha wenzao wale waliofikia hatua ya kuingia kwenye kundi lao, katika maisha yao. Watu hao, hukusanyika kwa lengo la kuwakaribisha wenzao hao waliofikia kipindi cha kuingia kwenye kundi lao hilo, kwa sababu ya uelewano na ushirikiano wao huo wa kufanya kazi zao kwa pamoja, maishani mwao. Wao hupata mafanikio mengi katika familia zao hizo kwa sababu ya uelewano na ushirikiano wao huo, katika maisha yao.

Watu hao, hufanana na wale waliomkaribisha mtoto kula pamoja nao alipoota meno, kwa sababu nao huwakaribisha wenzao wale waliofikia muda wa kuingia kwenye kundi lao, maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana wao husema kwamba, “tumekutanika wote kwenye mtungi wa maji.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na ushirikiano wa kukaribishana kufanya kazi zao kwa pamoja na uelewano, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi katika familia zao hizo, maishani mwao.

KISWAHILI: NIMESALIMIA WAMEITIKIA WACHACHE.

ENGLISH: I HAVE GREETED A FEW OF THEM HAVE RESPONDED.

The source of the over head proverb looks at a person who greeted many people, only a few of them responded. That is why he said that, “I have greeted a few of them have responded.”

This man repeated to greet them in a louder voice than the one which he used at first. When he did that, they responded to more people than the first ones.

This proverb is compared to a person who does his works with a very good follow-up, in his life. Such person carries out his duties by repeating whenever he sees that it has not ended well, because of his diligence and his focus in doing his works. He gets a lot of crops in his family because of hard working and great focus, in his life.

This person is similar to the one who greeted many people but a few of them responded, and repeated greeting them with a louder voice, until they responded to many, because he also carries out his duties by repeating when he sees that it has not ended well, until all the work is finished. That is why he says that, “I have greeted a few of them have responded.”

This proverb teaches people about increasing enough effort to carry out their duties with the attention to repeat where it is not done well, until all the work is finished well, so that they can get a lot of success, in their families.
