KISWAHILI: KITENDAWILI – TEGA.

YAMEMWAGWA NA MWENYEWE HUWA YANAOTA – MENO.

Mtu akizaliwa huwa kibogoyo kwa sababu ya kutokuwa hata na jino moja. Lakini basi, ukifika wakati wake meno hayo huota kwa sababu huwa yanaletwa na Mungu mwenyewe. Ndiyo maana watu huhadithiana kwamba, “yamemwagwa na mwenyewe huwa yanaota – meno.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mkulima yule ambaye humwaga mbegi ambazo huota inaponyesha mvua, katika maisha yake. Mkulima huyo, humwaga mbegu zake na kusubiri mpaka mvua inanyesha ya kutosha kuziotesha, kwa sababu ya kuweka matumaini yakwe kwa Mungu. Yeye hulima mashamba makubwa ambayo humpatia mavuno mengi kwa sababu ya kumtegemea Mungu katika utekelezaji wa kazi zake hizo, maishani mwake.

Mbegu hizo, hufanana na yale meno yaliyoota baada ya kufika wakati wake, kwa sababu nazo huota baada ya mvua kunyesha. Ndiyo maana watu huhadithiana kwamba, “yamemwagwa na mwenyewe huwa yanaota – meno.”

Kitendawili hicho, hufundisha watu juu ya kujibidisha kufanya kazi kwa kumtegemea Mungu awajaliaye mafanikio, ili waweze kupata mali nyingi katika kazi zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

THEY WERE SOWED BY THE OWNER GERMINATE – TEETH.

When a person is born, he is a toothless because he does not have even one tooth. But then, when the time comes, those teeth germinate because they are brought by God Himself. That is why people tell each other that, “they were sowed by the owner germinate – teeth.”

This riddle is equaled to the farmer who pours the seeds that grow when it rains in his farm. Such farmer pours his seeds and waits until it rains enough to grow them, because of putting his hope in God. He cultivates large fields that give to him a lot of harvest because of relying on God in the implementation of his works, in his life.

Those seeds are similar to the teeth that germinated after their time have come, because they also germinate after it rains. That is why people tell each other that, “they were sowed by the owner germinate – teeth.”

This riddle teaches people about forcing themselves to work by relying on God who gives to them success, so that they can get a lot of wealth in their daily works.

KISWAHILI: HUYO NI BAHILI – POPO MDOGO.

Kitendawili hicho huongelea juu ya popo mdogo. Popo huyo ni kiumbe kidogo ambacho hakina manyoya katika mwili wake lakini huruka kama ndege. Ndiyo maana watu hukiambia kwamba “huyo ni bahili – popo mdogo.”

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni bahili katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huvibania kuwapa wenzake vitu vyake kwa sababu ya ubahili wake huo. Yeye huviweka nyumbani mwake vitu vyake hivyo mpaka vinaharibika bila ya kuwasaidia watu walio na matatizo kwa sababu ya ubahili wake huo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na kale kapopo ambako hakana manyoya ya kuwapa wengine, kwa sababu naye hubaki na vitu vyake mpaka vinaharibika ya bila kuwasaidia wenzake walioko kwenye matatizo. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “huyo ni bahili.”

Kitendawili hicho, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na ukarimu wa kuwasaidia wenzao walioko kwenye matatizo, ili waweze kuzitunza vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

THAT IS A MISER- A LITTLE BAT.

The overhead riddle is about a little bat. Such bat is a small creature that has no feathers in its body but it flies like a bird. That is why people say that, “that is a miser – a little bat.”

This riddle is equated to a person who is stingy in his life. Such person refuses to give his things to his colleagues because of his stinginess. He keeps his things in his house until they are destroyed without helping the people who have problems because of such meanness, in his life.

This person is like the little bat had no feathers of giving to others, because he also keeps his things until they are destroyed without helping his colleagues who are in anxiety. That is why people tell him that, “that is a miser – a little bat.”

This riddle imparts in people an idea of being generous enough to support their nobles who are in distress, so that they can take good care of their families in their lives.

KISWAHILI: MATEGE HAYANA TAJIRI WALA MASKINI.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa na matege katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, alikuwa na kilema hicho tangu kuzaliwa kwake kwa sababu kilema chenyewe hakibagui mtu yeyote awe tajiri au maskini. Yeye alikuwa na mali nyingi kwenye familia yake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “matege hayana tajiri wala maskini.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwapokea watu wa kila namna kwenye familia yake, katika maisha yake hayo. Mtu huyo, huongea na maskini pamoja na matajiri bila kumbague yeyote, maishani mwake. Yeye huishi na watu wengi sana kwenye familia yake kwa sababu anaelewa kuwa watu wote ni viumbe vya Mungu ampaye nguvu za kufanya kazi zake vizuri, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yale matege aliyokuwa nayo yule tajiri, kwa sababu naye huishi na watu wa kila namna kwenye familia yake hiyo. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “matege hayana tajiri wala maskini.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuachana na tabia za kuwabagua watu kwa kuishi na watu wa kila aina, kwa sababu wote wameumbwa na Mungu, ili waweze kupata Baraka za kuishi vizuri, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: ABNORMAL LEGS HAVE NEITHER RICH NOR POOR.

There was a man who had scars in his life. Such man had a disability since birth because that disability itself did not discriminate between rich and poor. He had a lot of wealth in his family. That is why people told him that, “abnormal legs have neither rich nor poor.”

This saying is related to the person who accepts all kinds of people in his family in life. Such person talks to the poor as well as the rich without discriminating against anyone in his life. He lives with a good number of people in his family because he understands that all people are creatures of God who gives to him the strength to do his daily work well in his life.

This person resembles to the scars that the rich man had, because he also lives with all kinds of people in his family. That is why people tell him that, “abnormal legs have neither rich nor poor.”

This saying teaches people about abandoning habits of discriminating people by living with all kinds of people, because they are all creatures of God, so that they can get blessings of living well, in their families.

KISWAHILI: MWANA MAKINU ALISHINDWA NJE NA KWAKE.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyeitwa Makinu. Mtu huyo, alikuwa na nguzu nyingi kwa sababu hakutishwa hata kidogo wakati wote. Siku moja alitoka nje usiku akakutana na myama mkali aliyemuua mtu huyo nje ya nyumbani kwake. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba “mwana makinu alishindwa nje na kwake.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huzitumia vibaya nguzu zake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huzitumia nguvu zake hizo kwa kujidai hovyo ili watu wamsifiye kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini katika maisha yake. Yeye hujiumiza bure katika majigambo yake hayo, kwa sababu ya kupenda sifa kwake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na mwana Makinu aliyeuliwa na yule myama mkali alipozitumia vibaya nguvu zake hizo, kwa sababu naye huzitumia vibaya nguzu zake hizo mpaka anaumia bure, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “mwana Makinu alishindwa nje na kwake.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuzitumia nguvu zao kwa umakini mkubwa ili ziweze kuwasaidia vizuri, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: MAKINU’S SON WAS DEFEATED OUTSIDE HIS HOME.

There was a man whose was Makinu’s son. He had a lot of power because he was not intimidated at all in his life. One day, he went out at night and met a stronger man than him who killed him outside his house. That is why people said that “Makinu’s son was defeated outside his home.”

This saying is related to a person who misuses his power in his life. Such person uses his power to claim praise carelessly for getting praise from people because of the lack of focus in his life. He hurts himself in vain in his boasting, because of looking for praise from people.

This person is similar to Makinu’s son who was killed by the fierce man when he misused his power, because he also misuses his power until he gets hurt for nothing, in his life. That is why people tell him that, “Makinu’s son was defeated outside his home.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of using their power very carefully so that it can help them well, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: LEO NI LEO ASEMAYE KESHO NI MUONGO

Methali hiyo huongelea juu ya faida ya kuitumia siku kwa sababu kila kila ina vitu vyake. Alikuwepo mwanafunzi mmoja aliyekuwa akisoma kwenye shule ya Imalabupina, wilayani Kishapu, katika mkoa wa Shinyanga.

Mwanafunzi huyo, alikuwa akiambiwa na wenzake kwamba, ajisemee vizuri kila siku. Lakini yeye alikuwa akisema kwamba, “nitajisomea kesho.” Mwishowe siku ya kufanya mitihami ikafika akawa ameshindwa kufanya mitihani yake hiyo kwa sababu ya kuacha kujisomea kila siku katika kipindi cha uanafunzi wake. Ndiyo maana wenzake hao walimwambia kwamba, “leo ni leo asemaye kesho ni muongo.”

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni mvivu katika kufanya kazi kwenye familia yake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huupoteza hovyo muda wake kwa kushinda akiwa amekaa tu, wakati wa kwenda kufanya kazi, kwa sababu ya uvivu wake huo. Yeye humaliza kipindi cha masika bila ya kuwa na chakula kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya kuupoteza hovyo muda wake huo wa kufanya kazi, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mwanafunzi wa imalabupina ambaye hakujisomea mpaga akashindwa kufanya mtihani wake ilipofika siku yake, kwa sababu naye hushinda akiwa amekaa tu, wakati wa kufanya kazi, mpaga mwishowe anakosa chakula katika familia yake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “leo ni leo asemaye kesho ni muongo.”

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu juu ya kuachana na uvivu kwa kuutumia vizuri muda katika kujibidisha kufanya kazi, ili waweze kupata mali nyingi za kuwasaidia vizuri, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: TODAY IS TODAY WHOEVER SAYS TOMORROW IS A LIAR

The above proverb talks about the benefit of using the daily time well because each day has its own things. There was a student who was studying at Imalabupina school of Kishapu district in Shinyanga region.

This student was told by his colleagues that he should study well every day. But he was saying, “I will study for myself tomorrow.” At the end, the day of the exams came and he was unable to take them because he stopped studying every day during his given time at the school. That is why his colleagues told him that, “today is today, whoever says tomorrow is a liar.”

This proverb is compared to the person who is lazy in working at his family. Such person wastes his time by staying at home while sitting, instead of going to work, because of his laziness. He ends up suffering by not having food at his family, because of the waste of his working time in life.

This person, is similar to the student of Imalabubina who did not study for himself until he failed to pass his exams when the day came, because he also spends his time by sitting at his home, instead of working, at the end he lacks food in his family. That is why people tell him that, “today is today, whoever says tomorrow is a liar.”

This proverb teaches people to get rid of laziness by making good use of time in forcing themselves to work, so that they can get many assets which can nicely help them in their lives.
