KISWAHILI: MWIZI WA KUELEWANA.

Hapo zamani alikuweo mtu aliyeiba vitu vya wenzake kwa njia ya kuelewana. Mtu huyo, alivichukuka vitu hivyo vya wenzake kwa kutumia njia hiyo ya kuelewana kwamba atavirudisha muda fulani. Lakini muda huyo ulipofika alianza kukata kona kwa sababu aliviiba vitu hivyo kwa kutumia njia hiyo ya kuviazima. Ndiyo maana watu walimuita jina la “mwizi wa kuelewana.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huiba vitu vya wenzake kwa kutumia njia ya kusema maneno ya uongo, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huongea maneno ya uongo mengi yanayoweza kumsaidia kuvichukua vitu hivyo vya wenzake kwa sababu ya wizi wake huo. Yeye hukosana na wenzake kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya kuwaibia witu vyao kwa nji hiyo ya kusema maneno ya uongo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeiba vitu vya wenzake kwa njia ya kuviazima mpaka anabaki navyo, kwa sababu naye huiba vitu vya wenzake kwa njia ya kusema maneno ya uongo mpaka anavichukua na kukaa navyo, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu walimuita jina la “mwizi wa kuelewana.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya wizi kwa kusema ukweli ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THE THIEF OF UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER.

Once upon a time, there was a man who stole his friends’ possessions by mutual promise. This man took those belongings from his friends by mutual bargain that he would return them at a certain time. But when such time came, he started to make excuses because he stole those possessions by borrowing them. That is why people called him “thief of understanding each other.”

This saying is paralleled to a man who steals belongings of his friends by speaking lies in his life. Such man speaks many lies that can help him to take possessions of his friends because of his theft. He quarrels with his friends in his family because of stealing their belongings by speaking lies in his life.

This man resembles the one who stole belongings of his friends by borrowing them until he keeps them, because he also steals possessions of his friends by speaking lies until he takes them and keeps them as his own in his life. That is why people called him “thief of understanding each other.”

This saying teaches people to abandon habit of stealing possessions of people by speaking the truth so that they can better nurture their families in their lives.

KISWAHILI: HUYO ANAKO KAMWIBA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huangalia nyuki ambaye ana kamwiba akatumiako wakati wa kuuma. Kamwiba hako hufanana na kamwiba ka nyuki ambako hukaacha kwenye mwili wa yule aliyemuuma. Kenyewe hubakia kwenye mwili huo aliouuma yule nyuki mpaka wakang’oe. Nidyo maana watu husema kwamba, “huyo anako kamwiba.”

Mtu huyo, huyarudia maovu  hayo aliyotenda, kwa kutukana watu na kuwachokoza kwa lengo la kutaka kupigana kwa sababu ya kukosa malezi ya kuishi na watu kwa upendo, maishani mwake. Yeye hubaki peke yake kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya kukosa malezi hayo mema ya kuishi na watu kwa upendo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na kale kwa mwiba ka nyuki aliyemuuma mtu fulani, kwa sababu naye ana kamwiba ka kutenda maovu aliyoyatenda zamani, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “huyo anako kamwiba.”

ENGLISH: THAT ONE HAS A STINGER.

The origin of this saying looks at a bee that has a stinger which it uses when stinging. This stinger is a bee stain that it leaves in the body of the one whom it stung it. It remains in the body that the bee stung until it is removed. That is why people say that, “that one has a stinger.”

This saying is matched to someone who lives by committing evil deeds which he committed in the past in his life. This person repeats evil deeds which he committed, by insulting people and provoking them with an aim of fighting because of lacking upbringing which can help him to peacefully live with people in his life. He remains alone in his family because of lacking such sound upbringing for living well with people in his life.

This person is similar to the bee stinger that stung someone, because he also has a stinger of doing evil deeds which he committed in his past life. That is why people say about him that, “that one has a stinger.”

This saying teaches people about forsaking habit of doing evil deeds by living peacefully with people in their lives, so that they can help each other in developing their families.
