KISWAHILI: SAMIKE HAKUWEZA KUNYAMAZA
SHUKRANI
“Samike alikuwa ni kiongozi wa ngoma ya Bagalu aliyefanikiwa sana na ambaye alishinda kwa urahisi mashindano dhidi ya Kikundi cha Ngoma ya Bagika. Kikundi cha Bagika kikawa na wivu, na husuda na kutafuta njia ya kuweza kumdhuru Samike. Baada ya majaribio mengi kushindwa, siku moja katika klabu ya pombe, adui zake walimdhuru Samike na akawa mgonjwa sana. Mganga wake wa wakati ule hakuweza k
umtibu. Ndipo akawaendea baadhi ya waganga wengine ambao nao pia walishindwa.
Hatimaye, baada ya kushinda bila kula kwa muda wa siku tano, na hivyo akashindwa kutembea, Samike alibebwa na wafuasi wake hadi nyumbani kwa mganga mkuu wa uponyaji, aitwaye Luhumbika, ambako ndiko alikotibiwa na kupona.
Baada ya kuponywa hivyo, Samike alijawa na furaha kubwa ilioje hata akatunga wimbo wa shukrani kwa Luhumbika. Alisafiri kila mahali huku akiuimba wimbo huo wa sifa na shukrani kwa Luhumbika. Samike hakuweza kunyamaza, lakini katika mashindano ya ngoma aliendelea kuwaambia watu juu ya mambo makuu ambayo Luhumbika alimtendea. Aliimba:
Kuugua siyo kufa. Nimepata nafuu kabisa. Nimeponywa. Watoto wangu, furahini pamoja nami. Luhumbika ndiye aliyeniponya. Naomba aishi milele! Yeye ni mpanga mkuu mponyaji. Dawa yake ya kweli ina nguvu sana kwani huwafanya maadui washindwe kunidhuru. Dawa yake ina nguvu zaidi kuliko ya maadui. Kama asingekuwa yeye ningekuwa nimekufa. Nisingekuwa hai bado.
Hapakuwepo na njia nyingive kwangu. Hakakuwepo na mtu mwingine ambaye ningemwendea. Luhumbika aliniinua kutoka kwenye kitanda. Aliniponyesha. Luhumbika alinifyatua kama afanyavyo mtengenezaji wa tofali anavyokanda udongo mpya wa matofali kana kwamba nilitoka tumboni mwa mama yangu.” Uk. 95, wa kitabu cha Hadhithi za Kiafrica, kwa Wahubiri na Walimu, cha Joseph G.

Grateful song from Ndoleleji Research committee group video
ENGLISH: SAMIKE COULDN’T KEEP SILINT
THANKSGIVING,
Samike was a very successful dance leader of Bagalu group and would easily win the competitions against the Bagika Dance Group. The Bagika became very jealous, envious and looked for ways to harm Samike. After several unsuccessful attempts, one day at a local beer party, his enemies bewitched Samike and he became seriously ill. His regular diviner-healer could not cure him. Then he went to several other ordinary diviner-healers who also failed to cure him.
Finally, after going without food for five days and being unable to walk, Samike was carried by his disciples to the home of the great divine-healer, Luhumbika where he was eventually cured. After his recovery, Samike was overcome with joy and composed a song of thanksgiving to Luhumbika. He traveled everywhere singing this song of praise and thanksgiving. Samike could not keep silent, but at dance competitions he kept telling people the great things that Luhumbika had done for him. He sang:
To be sick is not to die. I am completely better. I am healed. My children, rejoice with me. Luhumbika is the one who healed me. May he live forever? He is a real divine-healer. His magical medicine is so powerful that it is impossible for the witches to harm me. His medicine is more powerful than the sorcerers. If it were not for him I would be dead. I would have no life in me.
There was no way out for me. I had no one else to turn to. I was in a hopeless situation. I was like one dead or lost. Luhumbika raised me up from my sick bed. He healed me. Luhumbika refashioned me like a brick maker makes a new mud brick as if I had just come from my mother’s womb.
