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.

ENGLISH: WE ARE ALL GATHERED AT THE WATER JAR.

The source of the overhead proverb talks about an arrival of time for eating food for a child. When a child is born, it uses milk because it does not have teeth to enable it to eat. So, when he grows his teeth, he starts eating food with adults. He joins the group of adults. That is why those people say that, “we are all gathered in a water jar.”

This proverb is related to people who have a partnership of bullying their fellows who have reached the point of entering their group, in their lives. Those people, gather with an aim of welcoming those colleagues who have reached the period of entering their group, because of their understanding and cooperation for doing their works together, in their lives. They get a lot of success in their families because of their understanding and cooperation in their lives.

Those people are similar to those who invited a child to eat with them when he had teeth, because they also welcome their nobles who have reached the time of entering their group, in their lives. That is why they say that, “we have all gathered in a water jar.”

This proverb imparts in people an idea of having strong cooperation enough to welcome each other in doing their works together with understanding, so that they can get a lot of success in their families in their lives.

KISWAHILI: HUYO AMEINGIA DARINI.

Mtu huyo alipanda mpaga juu ndani ya nyumba hiyo, viliko vitu hivyo vizuri. Hivyo basi, yeye aliingia kwenye uzuri kwa sababu hakuna kinachokosekana huko. Ndiyo maana watu walimuongelea kwamba, “huyo ameingia darini.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyetajirika kwa kupata mali nyingi, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujibidisha kufanya kazi kwa bidii kubwa na umakini mkubwa, maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mali nyingi sana kwenye familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya bidii yake ya kufanya kazi vizuri na kwa uvumilifu wa hali ya juu, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeingia darini kwenye uzuri wa vitu vingi, kwa sababu naye ametajirika kwa kujibidisha kufanya kazi mpaka akapata mali nyingi, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuongelea kwamba, “huyo ameingia darini.”

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.

Yeye alilala mpaka asubuhi ndipo akakumbuka kujifunika shuka kwa sababu ya usahaurifu wake huo. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “umekumbuka shuka ya kujifunika wakati kumekucha.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mwanamume yule aliyechelewa kuoa mpaka akazeeka ndipo akafikiria kuoa, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akifikiria mambo mengine wakati wa ujana wake mpaka akazeeka ndipo akaanza kufikiria kuoa, kwa sababu ya kujali mambo yasiyo na faida, maishani mwake. Yeye alishindwa kuifurahia ndoa yake hiyo kwa sababu ya kujisahau kwake huko, wakati wa ujana wake, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyejisahau kujifunika shuka wakati wa baridi kali, mpaka asubuhi ndipo akakumbuka kujifunika, kwa sababu naye alijisahau kuoa mpaka akazeeka, ndipo akakumbuka kuoa, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “umekumbuka shuka ya kujifunika wakati kumekucha.”

ENGLISH: YOU HAVE REMEMBERED THE SHEET TO COVER YOURSELF WHEN IT WAS MORNING.

There was a man who lived in a certain village. He went into his room to sleep without covering himself with a sheet when it was very cold. He slept until morning then he remembered to cover himself with a sheet because of his forgetfulness. That is why people told him that, “you have remembered the sheet to cover yourself when it was morning.”

This proverb is related to the man who delayed marrying until he was old and then he thought about marrying, in his life. Such man was thinking about other things during his youth until he got old and then he started thinking about getting married, because he cared about useless things in his life. He failed to enjoy his marriage because of his self-forgetfulness there, during his youth, in his life.

This is like the one who forgot to cover himself with a sheet during the cold winter, until morning then he remembered to cover himself, because he also forgot to marry until he was old, then he remembered to marry, in his life. That is why people told him that, “you have remembered the sheet to cover yourself when it was morning.”

This proverb imparts in people an idea of carrying out their duties which are important with great effort when the time comes, so that they can achieve their goals well and achieve many successes in their lives.
