MOTOKAA YANGU HAIMALIZI MAFUTA:- MIGUU.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, chaangalia miguu. Kila mtu ana miguu yake, ambayo huitumia akitaka kutembea sehemu fulani, bila hata kuweka mafuta, kwenye miguu yake hiyo. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, ‘motokaa yangu haimalizi mafuta:- miguu.’

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyekamilika katika utekelezaji wa kazi zake. Mtu huyo, ana bidii ambayo humwezesha kuzifanya kazi kwa utayari mzuri. Yeye yuko tayari wakati wowote, kutekeleza majukumu yake, kama miguu ilivyo tayari kuanza safari, bila kusubiri kuwekewa mafuta.

Yeye huwafundisha pia wenzake, namna ya kuwa na utayari huo wa kuyatimiza vizuri majukumu yao kila wakati. Ndiyo maana huwaambia watu kwamba, ‘motokaa yangu haimalizi mafuta:- miguu.’

Kitendawili hicho, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na utayari mkubwa wa kuyatekeleza majukumu yao vizuri, na kwa bidii kubwa, ili waweze kuziendeleza vizuri familia zao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

MY CAR DOES NOT FINISH FUEL: – FEET.

The cradle of the above riddle looks at the feet. Everyone has feet, which he/she uses to move from one place to another, without even putting fuel in those feet. That is why one says, ‘my car does not finish fuel: – feet.’

This riddle is compared to the perfect person in the execution of his duties. Such person has the diligence that enables him to work with great readiness. He is ready at any time to carry out his duties, as the feet are ready to embark on a journey, without waiting to be filled with fuel.

He also teaches his fellows, on how to have such readiness for carrying out their responsibilities on a regular basis. That is why he tells people that, ‘my car does not finish fuel: – feet.’

This riddle inculcates people on being more willing to carry out their responsibilities, with greater effort, so that they can better their families.

KISWAHILI: KITENDAWILI – TEGA.

 MJOMBA HATAKI TUONANE:- KISOGO.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, chaangalia kisogo. Kisogo hicho huwa nyuma katika upande wa kichwa, kama muumbaji wake alivyo kiumba. Macho yenyewe yako mbele ya kisogo, kama muumbaji wake alivyoyaumba.

Hivyo basi, macho hayawezi kukiona kisogo hicho, kwa sababu yako upande mwingine wa kichwa. Kisogo na macho hayawezi kujichanganya, kwa maana ya kuwa, pamoja. Ndiyo maana watu huhadithiana kwa kusema kwamba, ‘mjomba hataki tuonane: – kisogo.’

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye aelewa kuzifanya vizuri kazi zake, maishani mwake. Mtu huyo, haingilii kazi za wenzake katika utendaji wa kazi zake, kwa sababu anafahamu mipaka ya kazi zake hizo.

Yeye huwafundisha pia wenzake, namna ya kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zao hizo, bila kuingilia majukumu ambayo siyo ya kwao. Ndiyo maana yeye huwaambia watu kwamba, ‘mjomba hataki tuonane: – kisogo.’

Kitendawili hicho, hufundisha watu juu ya kuzielewa na kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zao, bila kuingilia majukumu yasiyo ya kwao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

MY UNCLE DOES NOT WANT TO MEET WITH ME- A NAPE.

The source of this riddle is a nape; the back side of the human head. The nape is always behind eye, as God created them. Therefore, the nape cannot see what is ahead of it and the eyes cannot see what a nape can see. This is why people can describe the relationship between the nape and eyes using the riddle that ‘my uncle does not want to meet with me – a nape.’

This riddle can be compared to a person who understands to do his/her job well in his life. This person does not interfere others in his/her doing of works because he/she knows the limit of his/her responsibilities. It can also be compared to a person who does well his/her works without compromising standards.

This riddle teaches people about how to understand and carry out their duties without compromising their responsibilities. This will enable them to achieve more in life because of their dedication to their assigned responsibilities.

KISWAHILI: KITENDAWILI  –  TEGA

ADUI TUMEMZINGIRA LAKINI HATUMWEZI: – MOTO.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, chaangalia watu wanaozima moto uliowaka katika maeneo yao. Moto huo, huongezeka kuwapa mpaka kufikia hatua ya kuwazidi uwezo wale wanaouzima, kwa sababu ya wenyewe kuwa mkubwa sana.

Watu wanaouzima hata wauzingile kwa wingi kiasi gani, huwa unawashinda kuuzima, kwa sababu ya moto huo kuzidi kuwa mkubwa, mpaka kufikia hatua ya kuwashinda kuuzima. Ndiyo maana watu hao husema kwamba, ‘adui tumemzingira lakini hatumwezi: -moto.’

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa mtu, yule ambaye hutumia vitu kama vile moto, bila kuwa  na uangalifu wenye umakini. Mtu huyo, aelewa juu ya faida za moto huo, ambazo ni pamoja na kupikia, endapo moto huo utatumiwa kwa uangalifu.

Lakini basi, yeye haelewi kwamba, moto huo, ukitumiwa bila kuwa na umakini, unaweza kuleta madhara makubwa, ambayo ni pamoja na kuteketeza mali zao, kwa kuunguzwa na moto huo. Moto huo, ukiwaka, hushindikana kuzimwa na watu.  Ndiyo maana, watu hao husema kwamba, ‘adui tumemzingira lakini hatumwezi: -moto.’

Kitendawili hicho, chafundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uangalifu mkubwa kila watakapo kuutumia moto huo, ili waweze kujiepusha na madhara yanayoweza kuletwa na moto usiotumiwa kwa umakini, na uangalifu huo, maishani mwao.

Mathayo 3:11.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

WE HAVE SURROUNDED THE ENEMY BUT WE CANNOT OVERCOME IT – FIRE.

The source of the riddle is a group of people who teamed up to blaze off the fire in their place. The flame is too high for people to extinguish it. Much as people struggle to get rid of the fire their efforts end in vein. This is why people can describe this scenario using the riddle that ‘we have surrounded the enemy but we cannot overcome it – fire.’

This riddle can be compared to a person, the one who uses such things as fire, without being careful. He/she can understand the benefits of fire, including cooking, but if not used carefully it can cause danger to people, including destruction of their property and burning them.

This riddle teaches people to be extra careful whenever they use fire. In so doing they can avoid harmful effects that are likely to come out because of fire.
