KISWAHLI: CHANGU CHENU LEO CHAKO CHAKO.

Msemo huo, ulianzia kwa mzee mmoja aliyekuwa na watoto wake. Mzee huyo, alikuwa tajiri sana kwa sababu ya bidii yake ya kufanya kazi kwa kulima mashamba makubwa.

Lakini basi, mtoto moja alikuwa akikataa kufanya kazi kwa sababu ya kutegemea urithi kutoka kwa baba yake huyo. Ndiyo maana baba huyo, aliwaambia watoto wake kwamba, “changu chenu leo chako chako.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mzee yule ambaye huwafundisha watu wake wanaotegemea urithi wa mali zake, kujibidisha kufanya kazi zao, maishani mwao. Mzee huyo, huwaamusha watoto wake hao, asubuhi na mapema kwenda kufanya kazi zao, kwa sababu hapendi waishi kwa kutegemea mali za kugawana urithi. Yeye huwahimiza kujitafutia mali zao wenyewe ambazo hayupo mtu wa kuwanyang’anya, kwa kuyatekeleza majukumu yao vizuri, maishani mwao.

Mzee huyo, hufanana na yule aliyewahimiza watoto wake kujibibisha kufanya kazi zao vizuri, kwa sababu naye pia huwahimiza watoto wake kujitegemea kwa kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana yeye huwaambia kwamba, “changu chenu leo chako chako.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya kutegemea kupata mali za urithi wa kugawana, kwa kuyakeleza vizuri majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio ya kuwa na mali zao, maishani mwao.

Luka 15:11-32.

ENGLISH: MY PROPERTY IS YOURS BUT YOUR PROPERTY IS YOURS ALONE.

This saying originated from an old man who had children.  He was very rich because of his hard working life in cultivating large fields.

Nevertheless, one child was refusing to work because of depending on his father’s properties. That is why the father told his children that, “my property is yours but your property is yours alone.”

This saying is compared to the old man who teaches his people who depend on the inheritance of his possessions to strive to do their work in their lives. This old man wakes up his children early in the morning enough to go to work, because he does not want them to live on the inheritance. He encourages them to seek out their own possessions that no one else can rob them of, by fulfilling their responsibilities well, in their lives.

This elder is like the one who encouraged his children to do their best in their works, because he also encourages his children to be self-reliant by fulfilling their responsibilities in life. That is why he tells them that, “my property is yours but your property is yours alone.”

This saying teaches people on giving up the habit of relying on the acquisition of shared property, by carefully defining their responsibilities, so that they can be successfully in getting their own properties in their lives.

Luke 15: 11-32.

Akahayile kenako kahoyelile higulya ya jisumva ijo jigakub’ijaga fulo. Ijisumva jinijo, jili kihamo na ng’holo na danga ijo jigakub’ijaga minzi ga gung’wa na gwikala moyi ijingi. Hunagwene abhanhu bhagajitanaga giki, “nkub’ija fulo.”

Akahayile kenako, kagalenganijiyagwa kuli munhu uyo agajaga gujisuga ha bhasab’i umukikalile kakwe. Ijikolo ja ha bhasab’i, jigikolanijiyagwa na fulo iyo agipandikaga umunhu uyo wisuga hoyi, kunguno agamanaga ujilya ijiliwa ija ha kaya yiniyo. Umunhu ng’wunuyo, agamanilaga aha kaya yiniyo, bho gutumama milimo ya henaho na gujilya ijiliwa ja hene, kunguno ya fulo iyo agaipandikaga yiniyo, umuwikaji bhokwe. Uweyi agabhizaga guti ng’wana o hakaya iya ha bhasab’i yiniyo.

Umunhu ng’wunuyo, agikolaga ni jisumva ijo jigakub’ijaga fulo, kunguno nuweyi agakub’ijaga jiliwa a ha kaya ya bhasab’i bho gwisugilija hoyi, umukikalile kakwe. Hunagwene abhanhu bhagang’witanaga giki, “nkub’ija fulo.”

Akahayile kenako, kalanga bhanhu higulya ya kutumama milimo ya gubheng’hela jikolo ja kutuula hakibha ya gutumila aha shigu ija bhutongi, kugiki bhadule kujilang’hana chiza ikaya jabho, umuwikaji bhobho.

KISWAHILI: MFUATA UNYEVU.

Msemo huo, huongelea juu ya viumbe ambavyo hufuata unyevu. Viumbe hivyo, ni pamoja na kondoo na vyura ambavyo hufuata maji ya kunywa na vingine huishi ndani ya maji hayo. Ndiyo maana watu humuita kiumbe hiyo kwamba ni “mfuata unyevu.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huenda kujifuga kwa matajiri, katika maisha yake. Mali za matajiri hao hufananishwa na unyevu anaoupata mtu huyo aliyejifuga hapo, kwa sababu ya kuendelea kula chakula cha kwenye familia hiyo. Mtu huyo, huzoea kwenye familia hiyo kwa kuendelea kufanya kazi za pale na kula chakula cha hapo, kwa sababu ya unyevu huo anaoupata, maishani mwake. Yeye huwa kama mtoto wa kwenye familia hiyo ya matajari.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na vile viumbe vifuatavyo unyevu, kwa sababu naye hufuata chakula kwa kwenda kufugwa kwenye familia ya matajiri hao, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita kwamba ni “mfuata unyevu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kufanya kazi ziwezazo kuwaletea mali za kuweka akiba itakayo wasaidia kwenye siku za mbeleni, ili waweze kuzilinda vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: A PERSON WHO IS AFTER GOOD THINGS.

The overhead saying speaks of creatures that follow moisture. These creatures, include: sheep and frogs, because they follow moisture for drinking water and some of them live in water areas. That is why people refer to that creature as being “a person who is after good things.”

This saying is related to a man who goes to stay in families of rich people for eating some food. The wealth of the rich one is likened to the humidity which that man gets because he continued to eat the food of that family. This person becomes familiar to that rich family by continuing to work there and eat local food, because of the moisture which he gets in his life. He becomes like a child in that rich family.

This man is like the creatures that followed moisture, because he also follows the food by going to be raised in the rich families. That is why people refer to him as “a person who is after good things.”

This saying imparts in people a clue on how to do work that can bring them savings enough to help them in the future, so that they can better protect their families in their lives.

KISWAHILI: ASIYESIKIA.

Asiyesikia ni mtu yule ambaye ana masikio yaliyoziba. Mtu huyo, hana uwezo wa kusikia neno analoambiwa na wenzake, kwa sababu ya kuziba kwa masikio yake hayo. Ndiyo maana watu humuita kwamba ni mtu “asiyesikia.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ana tabia mbaya katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa anatenda maovu na kuonywa wenzake, mara kwa mara, lakini huwa hasikii kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo ya kurudia kutenda maovu. Yeye hupata matatizo ya kuisambalatisha familia yake, kwa sababu ya kutokusikia kuacha kutenda maovu hayo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyekuwa na masikio yaliyoziba, kwa sababu naye huwa hasikii kwa kuacha kutenda maovu anapoonywa na wenzake, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita kuwa ni mtu ‘asiyesikia.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kukubali kuonywa na wenzao, kwa kuacha tabia ya kutenda maovu, katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, ili waweze kuzilea vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

Wagalatia 3:1-14.

ENGLISH: THE ONE WHO DOES NOT HEED.

The deaf is the one whose ears cannot hear. This person is unable to hear the word which is being spoken to him by his companions, because of such disabilities of his ears. That is why people call him “the one who does not heed.”

This saying is compared to a person who has evil habit in his life. This person often does evil things and is warned by others, but he does not listen because of his recurring behavior. He breaks up his family because of his unwillingness to stop doing these evil things in his life.

This person resembles the one who had ears’ disability, because he also does not listen enough to stop doing evil when he is warned by his fellows in life. That is why people call him “the one who does not heed.”

This saying teaches people about accepting warnings of their fellows, by refraining from committing evil deeds in fulfilling their duties, so that they can well raise their families in their lives.
