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: MAMIA YA WACHIMBA DAWA.

Aliwekupo mtu aliyekuwa mgonjwa ambaye alipoteza pesa nyingi kwa kununulila dawa za kuutibia ujonjwa wake huo lakini bila kupona. Mtu huyo alikuwa akipata hela na kuzinunulia dawa za kutibia ugonjwa wake huo ili apone. Ndiyo maana mwishowe aliziita pesa zake hizo kwamba ni “mamia ya wachimba dawa.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huujali vizuri mwili wake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo huenda hospitali anaojisikia kuumwa, pia hujibidisha kufanya kazi ili ajipatia mali za kuutunza mwili wake kwa sababu ya kuijali vizuri afya yake hiyo. Yeye hupata mali za kumsaidia katika kuitunza vizuri afya yake pamoja afya za watu wake kwa sababu ya kupenda zaidi kulinda uhai kulipo mali, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule aliyemaliza pesa nyingi kwa kununulia dawa za kutibu ugonjwa wake, kwa sababu naye hutumia mali zake kwa kuitunza afya yake katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana huiziita mali zake hizo kwamba ni “mamia ya wachimba dawa.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuzijali afya zao kwa kutumia dawa wanapojisikia kuumwa na kula chakula vizuri, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: HUNDREDS OF THE MEDICINE DIGGERS.

There was a sick person who lost a lot of money by buying medicine for treating his illness but without recovery. He used to earn money and spend them in buying medicines for treating his illness so that he would be cured. That is why he finally considered his money as “hundreds of the medicine diggers.”

This saying is compared to the person who takes good care of his health in his life. Such person goes to the hospital when he feels sick. He also has to work enough to get resources that can take care of his health. He gets enough assets for helping him in taking good care of his health as well as the health of his people because he likes to protect life more than wealth, in his life.

This person is similar to the one who spent a lot of money in buying medicine for treating his illness, because he also spends his wealth for taking care of his health in his life. That is why he considers his possessions as “hundreds of the medicine diggers.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of taking care of their health by using medicine when they feel sick and eating well, so that they can nicely raise their families in their lives.

KISWAHILI: YAMEKUWA MABAKI.

Walikuwepo vibarua kwenye shamba la mtu fulani waliokuwa wakipalilia palizi. Vibarua hao walikuwa wakipalilia kwa kuyafukia majani chini ili wamalize haraka kwa sababu ya tamaa ya kupata pesa mapema. Watu hao waliyaacha majani yakiwa yamesimama mpaka mwishowe mwenye shamba akatambua kwamba wamepalilia vibaya. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “yamekuwa mabaki.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao hufanya kazi zao hovyo hovyo, katika maisha yao. Watu hao hufanya kazi zao hizo bila ya kuwa na umakini mkubwa kwa sababu ya kuwa na mawazo mabaya katika akili zao. Wao hushindwa kuziendeleza vizuri familia zao kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini huo katika utendaji wao wa kazi, maishani mwao.

Watu hao, hufanana na wale vibarua waliopalilia kwa kuyafukia majani chini katika shamba walilokuwa wakufanyia kazi, kwa sababu nao hufanya kazi zao bila ya kuwa na umakini mkubwa, katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao hayo. Ndiyo maana watu huwaambia kwamba, “yamekuwa mabaki.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuyatekeleza majukumu yao vizuri na kwa umakini mkubwa ili waweze kupata maendeleo ya kutosha kuzitunza vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THEY HAVE BECOME REMNANTS.

There were workers who were weeding in someone’s field. They were weeding by covering the leaves on the ground so that they could finish quickly because of the desire to get money early. They left the leaves standing until finally the owner of the field realized that they had weeded badly. That is why he said that, “they have become remnants.”

This saying is equaled to people who carelessly do their works in their lives. These people do their works without being much focused because of having bad thoughts in their minds. They fail to progress their families well because of the lack of attention in their work performance, in their lives.

These people are similar to those laborers who weeded by covering the leaves on the ground in the field where they were working, because they also do their works without being very focused, in fulfilling their duties. That is why people tell them that, “they have become remnants.”

This saying teaches people on how to carry out their duties well and with great attention so that they can get enough progress to take good care of their families.
