KISWAHILI: YAMEKUWA MAFAHALI YA KUKAA NYUMA.

Msemo huo huongelea juu ya mafahali ya Ng’ombe. Mafahali hao ni madume ya ng’ombe yaliyokuwa mpaka yakazeeka vizuri. Yenyewe huwa nyuma ya kundi la ng’ombe wanapotembea kwa sababu ya uzee huo. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “yamekuwa mafahali ya kukaa nyuma.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mzee wa mji ambaye huwalea vizuri watu wake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwalea watu wake hao kwa kuwafundisha kufanya kazi zao vizuri, kwa sababu ya upendo wake mkubwa alio nao kwao. Yeye huishi vizuri na watu wake kwa sababu ya malezi yake ya kuwakuza vizuri wake wake hao, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yale mafahali yaliyokua mpaka yakaanza kubaki nyuma wakati wa kutembea, kwa sababu naye huwaongoza kwa kuwalea vizuri watu wake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “yamekuwa mafahali ya kukaa nyuma.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwaheshimu wazazi wao kwa kuwatunza vizuri, ili waweze kupata Baraka za kuishi vizuri na wenzao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THEY HAVE BECOME BULLS OF STAYING BEHIND.

The overhead saying talks about the bulls of cattle. These bulls are male cattle that were well aged. They normally walk behind the herd of cows when they walk because of that old age. That is why people say that, “they have become bulls of staying behind.”

This saying is compared to the old man of the family who takes good care of his people in his life. Such man, brings up his people by teaching them to do their jobs well, because of his great love to them. He lives well with his people because of his good upbringing enough to raise his people well, in his life.

This man resembles those grown up bulls until they started to lag behind while walking, because he also leads his people by raising them well, in his life. That is why people tell him that, “they have become bulls of staying behind.”

This saying teaches people about respecting their parents by taking good care of them, so that they can get blessings of living well with their people, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: KICHAPA MKIA.

Msemo huo huongelea juu ya kiumbe ambacho huwa kinachezea mkia wake bila kufanya kazi. Alikuwepo mbwa mmoja aliyekuwa akichezea mkia wake bila hata kubweka anapoona kitu chochote, kwa sababu ya uoga wake. Mbwa huyo alidharauliwa na wamiliki wake akionekana kuwa hana faida yoyote kwao kwa sababu ya uoga wake huo wa kukimbia kujificha kila anashitulilwa na kitu fulani. Ndiyo maana watu hao walimuita kuwa ni “kichapa mkia.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni mvivu wa kutokufanya kazi nyumbani kwake hali ambayo hupelekea kudharauliwa na wanafamilia wa hapo. Mtu huyo, hupendelea kukaa tu bila kufanya kazi kwa sababu ya uvivu wake huo wa kuogopa kufanya kazi yoyote katika maisha yake. Yeye husumbuliwa na tatizo la njaa kwa kwa sababu ya kukosa chakula hali ambayo husababishwa na tabia yake ya uvivu wa kutokufanya kazi, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mbwa asiyefanya kazi yoyote, kwa sababu naye na uvivu wa kutokufanya kazi katika familia yake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jila la “kichapa mkia.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuachana na tabia ya uvivu katika kazi, kwa kujibisha kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zao, ili waweze kupata chakula cha kuwasaidia vizuri katika maisha yao.

ENGLISH:  A TAIL WHIPPER.

This saying refers to a creature that stays idly.  It only plays with its tail without working. There was a dog that was playing with its tail without even barking when it saw anything, because of its fear. Such dog was despised by his owners as it seemed to be of no use to them because of its distress that made it run away to hide whenever it was disturbed by something. That is why those people called it a “tail whipper.”

This saying is related to a person who is lazy as he spends his time by not work at home. Such situation leads him to being despised by his family members. Such man prefers to stay idle because of his laziness and fear of doing any work in his life. He suffers from hunger due to lack of food at his home, a situation that is caused by his lazy behavior of not working.

This man resembles to the dog that did not do any work, because he also has laziness of not working at his family. That is why people call him the “tail whipper.”

This saying, imparts in people an idea of abandoning a habit of laziness, by forcing themselves to carry out their works well, so that they can get food that can nicely help them in their lives.
