KISWAHILI: JEMBE NIMEJARIBU MTOTO MCHANGA

Hapo zamani alikuwepo mkulima aliyelimia jembe la mkono. Mkuliwa huyo alilitegemea jembe lake hilo kwa sababu ya kulilimia vizuri mpaka linamletea chakula kwenye familia yake. Yeye alilishikilia vizuri jembe hilo kama anavyobeba mtoto mchanga, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “jembe nimejaribu mtoto mchanga.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujikaza kuifanya vizuri kazi ile ambayo humletea chakula, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huishikilia kazi yake hiyo kwa kuwafundisha watu juu ya kujibidisha kuitekeleza vizuri mpaka inawapatia chakula, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo, maishani mwake. Yeye hupata chakula cha kula vizuri kila mwaka kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo wa kujibidisha kuitekeleza vizuri kazi yake hiyo, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule mkulima aliyelilimia vizuri jembe lake mpaka likamletea chakula kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu naye hujibidisha kuitekeleza vizuri kazi yake hiyo mpaka inamletea chakula cha kula kila mwaka kwenye familia yake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “jembe nimejaribu mtoto mchanga.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uaminifu wa kujibidisha kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zao zinazowaletea chakula, ili waweze kupata mali za kutumia vizuri katika familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: A HOE HAS TESTED A BABY.

Once upon a time, there was a farmer who cultivated farms by using a hand hoe. This farmer relied on his hoe because it worked well until it brought food to his family. He held the hoe tightly like he was carrying a baby, in his life. That is why he said that, “a hoe has tested a baby.”

This saying is equaled to a person who strives to do well the work that brings him food, in his life. Such person holds on to his work by teaching people about working hard enough to do it well until it provides them with food, because of his loyalty, in his life. He gets good food to eat every year for his family because of his loyalty to work hard enough to finish well his work in his life.

This person resembles the farmer who cultivated his farm until it brought food to his family, because he also strives to carry out his work well until it brings food to his family every year, in his life. That is why he says that, “a hoe has tested a baby.”

This proverb teaches people about being honest enough to carry out their work well that brings them food, so that they can obtain wealth for using well in their families, in their lives.

There was a man who lived in the village of Wimate. This man had a fight with his neighbor because of evil argument. He decided to apologize to his neighbor. That is why he said that, “I have knelt down and folded my hands.”

He takes virtuous care of his family because of his humility to live well with his people in his life.

KISWAHILI: NIMEUKANDA UKALAINIKA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea juu ya unga wa ngano. Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa akitengeneza unga huo wa ngano kwa kuukanda mpaka ukalainika kiasi cha kutosha kutumika kwa kupikia maandazi, chapati na mikate. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “nimeukanda ukalainika.”

ENGLISH: “I KNEADED IT UNTIL IT WAS SOFT.”

The origin of this saying is about wheat flour. There was a person who was making wheat flour by kneading it until it was soft enough to be used for baking buns, and bread. That is why he said that, “I kneaded it until it was soft.”

This saying is matched to a person who is hardworking in his life. This person, exerts himself to do his work with great strength and diligence because of his loyalty, when he gets old he gets tired of doing those jobs. He achieves a lot of success in his family because of his diligence in doing his works with great strength, in his life.

KISWAHILI: MTU HUYU HUJIUMIZA YEYE MWENYEWE.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa na nguvu nyingi katika kijiji cha Ngeme. Mtu huyo alikuwa akibeba mizigo mizito mpaka anaanza kutembea kwa shida kwa sababu ya kujilazimisha kubeba mizigo hiyo. Yeye alifikia hatua ya kuchelewa kuamuka asubuhi kwa sababu ya uchovu huo wa kubeba mizigo mizito, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana mwishowe watu walisema kwamba, “mtu huyo hujiumiza yeye mwenyewe.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi bila ya kuuhurumia mwili wake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hufanya kazi nzito kuanzia asubuhi hadi jioni kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kuuhurumia mwili wake huo, katika kazi zake. Yeye huwa ana uchovu kila wakati kwa sababu ya kufanya kazi hizo ngumu bila ya kuuhurumia mwili wake huo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyebeba mizigo mizito mpaka akaanza kutembea kwa shida, kwa sababu naye hufanya kazi ngumu mpaka analala akiwa amechoka sana, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “mtu huyu hujiumiza yeye mwenyewe.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuilinda miili yao wanapofanya kazi zao, ili waweze kuishi kwa furaha katika familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THIS MAN HURTS HIMSELF.

There was a man who was so strong in the village of Ngeme. He used to carry heavy maize sacks until he started walking with difficulty because of forcing himself to carry those sacks. He reached the point of waking up late in the morning because of the fatigue of carrying those heavy maize sacks, in his life. That is why people said about him that, “this man hurts himself.”

This saying is equated to a person who works without pitying his body, in his life. This person, does heavy works from morning to evening because of the lack of decent attention enough to pity his body, in his works. He is always tired because of doing those hard jobs without pitying his body, in his life.

This person resembles the one who carried heavy maize sacks until he started walking with difficulty, because he also works hard until he goes to bed very tired, in his life. That is why people say about him that, “this man hurts himself.”

This saying instills in people an idea of being watchful enough to protect their bodies while doing their jobs, so that they can live happily in their families, in their lives.

1 Wakorintho 13:11.

KISWAHILI: HULIA ANAPOKUJA DUNIANI.

Msemo huo ulianzia kwa mtoto aliyezaliwa. Mtoto huyo hulia baada ya kuzaliwa kwa sababu ameingia ulimwengu ambamo hajazoea. Yeye huomba msaada kwa muumba wake kwa sababu ameanza maisha mpya kwake ili aweze kuyamudu vizuri. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “hulia anapokuja duniani.”

Msema huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huomba msaada kwa Mungu anapoanza kazi mpya, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huanza kazi mpya kwa kumuomba Mungu kwa sababu ya imani yake kubwa kwenye uwezo wa Muumba wake maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mafanikio mengi katika kazi zake hizo mpya, kwa sababu ya kumuomba Mungu anapoanza kuzifanya kazi zake hizo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule mtoto ambaye huomba msaada kwa Muumba wake kwa kulia baada ya kuzaliwa, kwa sababu naye huomba msaada kwa Muumba wake anapoanza kufanya kazi zake hizo mpya, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “hulia anapokuja duniani.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuomba msaada kwa Mungu wanapoanza kuyatekeleza majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi katika utendaji wao wa kazi, maishani mwao.

1 Wakorintho 13:11.

ENGLISH: HE CRIES WHEN HE COMES INTO THE WORLD.

This saying is originated from a newborn baby. The newborn baby cries after birth because of entering into new world which it is not used to. It asks for help from the creator because of starting a new independent life so that it can nicely cope with it. That is why people say that, “he cries when he comes into the world.”

This saying is associated to a person who asks for help from God when he starts a new job, in his life. Such person, starts a new job by asking God because of his great faith in the power of his Creator in his life. He achieves great success in his new jobs, because of depending on God when he starts doing them, in his life.

This person resembles the child who asks for help from his Creator by crying after birth, because he also asks for help from his Creator when he starts doing new jobs, in his life. That is why people say to him that, “he cries when he comes into the world.”

This proverb teaches people about asking God for help when they begin to carry out their duties, so that they can achieve great success in their lives.
