KISWAHILI: KWELI/HAKIKA.

Walikuwepo watu wawili waliokuwa wakiongea vizuri. Watu hao waliongea maneno ya ukweli kwa sababu walitaka kuziendeleza vizuri familia zao hizo. Wao walikuwa na upendo mkubwa kwenye familia zao, maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana walipoongea ukweli huo walikubaliana kwa kusema kwamba, “kweli/hakika.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao wana uaminifu katika maisha yao. Watu hao huwalea watu wao kwa kuwafundisha watu wao kusema ukweli unaowasaidia kuishi vizuri na wenzao, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wao huo maishani mwao. Wao huishi kwa furaha kubwa katika familia zao kwa sababu ya uaminifu wao huo wa kuwalea vizuri watu wao, katika maisha yao.

Watu hao, hufanana na wale waliozilea familia zao kwa kuzifundisha ukweli, kwa sababu nao pia huzilea familia zao kwa kuongea maneno ya kweli mpaka wakayishi kwa furaha katika familia zao, maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana wao huelezana maneno ya kweli kwa kusema, “kweli/hakika.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uaminifu wa kuzilea familia zao katika maadili mema, ili waweze kuishi kwa furaha katika familia zao hizo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: TRUTH, TRUTH

There were two people who spoke wisely and truthfully. They spoke words of truth because they wanted to build and strengthen their families. They loved their families deeply and desired peace and unity in their homes. Whenever they agreed with each other in honesty, they would confirm it by saying, “Truth, truth.”

This saying is compared to people who live honest lives. Such people teach their families to speak the truth and act with integrity. Because of their honesty, they help their families live peacefully with others. Their homes are filled with happiness because they are founded on truth.

These people are like parents who raise their children by teaching them to value truth in every situation. By consistently speaking and practicing the truth, they create strong and joyful families. That is why they affirm one another by saying, “Truth, truth.”

This saying teaches us to be faithful and honest in raising our families with good morals. When truth guides a home, peace and happiness follow.

Book of Proverbs 8:7 “For my mouth will speak truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips.”

Book of Proverbs 12:19 “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.”

Book of Zechariah 8:16 “Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace.”

Gospel of John 8:7, 32  “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone… And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”

KISWAHILI: UMEKOSA SHINGO KAMA TONGE KUCHENGANA GIZANI.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa na shingo fupi. Mtu huyo, alipata shida ya kumeza tonge kwa sababu ya ufupi wa shingo yake. Yeye alifanana na tonge zilizopishana kwenye giza. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “umekosa shingo kama tonge kuchengana gizani.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa watu waliooana ndani ya undugu wao katika maisha yao. Wana ndoa hao, hawakuuelewana vizuri katika undugu wao kabla ya kuoana kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kuuelewa vizuri undugu wao, maishani mwao. Wao hushindwa kuilea vyema familia yao, kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini huo wa kuuelewa vizuri undugu wao kabla ya kuoana, katika maisha yao.

Watu hao, hufanana na zile tonge zilizopishana gizani kwenye shingo fupi, kwa sababu nao wameoana ndani ya undugu wao bila ya kuelewana vizuri, maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana watu waliwaambia kwamba, “umekosa shingo kama tonge kuchengana gizani.”

Msemo huyo, hufundisha wana ndoa juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuwawezesha kufanya utafiti wa kuwaolewa ndugu zao kabla ya kuoana, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: YOU HAVE A SHORT NECK LIKE PIECES OF STIF FOOD PASSING EACH OTHER IN THE DARK.

There was once a man who had a very short neck. Because of this, he struggled to swallow food easily. People described his condition in a figurative way, saying it was like “pieces of food passing each other in the dark.” From this image came the saying: “You have a short neck like pieces of stif food passing each other in the dark.”

This saying is compared to people who marry within their own close family without first taking time to understand one another well. Before marriage, they do not carefully examine their relationship, their differences, or their responsibilities. Because of this lack of understanding, they may later struggle to build and guide their family properly.

Just as food passing in a short neck faces difficulty, these couples face confusion and misunderstanding in their marriage. The “darkness” in the saying symbolizes a lack of knowledge, preparation, and wisdom before entering into marriage.

Therefore, this saying teaches that people should be careful and thoughtful before marriage. They should take time to understand one another deeply, seek guidance, and prepare themselves well so that they can raise their families in peace and unity throughout their lives.

The teaching also connects with the spirit of love and responsibility found in First Epistle to the Corinthians 8:38–39, which reminds believers about the importance of acting in love and wisdom in their relationships.

Hence, marriage requires understanding, preparation, and wisdom. Entering it without knowledge and careful thought can lead to unnecessary struggles.

KISWAHILI: MTIRIRIKO UMETIRIRIKA KIMOJA.

Ulikuwepo mto ambao ulikuwa ukitiririka kimoja wakati wote wa kiangazi na wa masika bila ya kukoma. Mto huo ulitiririka wakati wote bila ya kukatika kwa sababu ya wingi wa maji yake. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “mtiririko umetiririka kimoja.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hulishikiria neno la Mungu kila wakati, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hulishikilia neno la Mungu kwa kuyaishi vizuri maagizo yake na kuishi vizuri na watu, kwa sababu ya unyofu wake huo maishani mwake. Yeye hupata baraka za kuishi kwa furaha katika familia yake kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo wa kuliishi vyema neno la Mungu, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na ule mto uliotiririka wakati wote bila kukoma, kwa sababu naye hulishikiria neno la Mungu kila wakati bila kushoka, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “mtiririko umetiririka kimoja.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uaminifu wa kuyaishi maagizo ya Mungu wakati wote bila kushoka, ili waweze kupata baraka za kuwafikisha mbinguni.

ENGLISH: THE FLOW HAS FLOWED ALL THE TIME.

There was a river that flowed continuously throughout summer and winter without ever stopping. It flowed at all times because it had an abundance of water. For this reason, people said, “The flow has flowed all the time.”

This saying is compared to a person who holds firmly to the Word of God at all times in his life. He remains faithful by following God’s instructions and living well with other people. Because of his honesty and obedience, he receives blessings and lives peacefully and happily with his family.

That person is like the river that never stops flowing. Just as the river flows continuously, he continues to live according to God’s Word without giving up. That is why people say about him, “The flow has flowed all the time.”

This saying teaches people to remain faithful to God’s commandments at all times without failing, so that they may receive blessings and inherit eternal life.

Mark 13:31 – “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.”
