KISWAHILI: NAKUTEGEMEA.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyeishi kwenye kijiji fulani. Mtu huyo alikuwa mchokozi wakati hakuwa na nguvu. Yeye alipenda kelele ya kugombana na watu kwa sababu alikuwepo yule aliyemtegemea kwamba ataimaliza tu hiyo vita. Ndiyo maana alimwambia kwamba, “nakutegemea.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwatendea maovu watu kwa kumtegemea mkubwa wake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo huwadhalau watu kwa kuwatendea mambo ya hovyo kwa sababu ya majivuno yake hayo ya kumtegemea mkubwa wake ambaye humsaidia katika kuyamaliza matatizo hayo, maishani mwake. Yeye hushindwa kuilea vyema familia hiyo yake kwa sababu ya kutenda maovu hayo, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyewachokoza watu mpaka akagombana nao kwa kumtegemea yule aliyevimaliza vita vyakwe, kwa sababu naye huwatemdea maovu watu kwa kumtegemea mkuwa wake mpaka anashindwa kuilea vyema familia yake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana humwambia kwamba, “nakutegemea.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha kumtegemea mtu mwenye uwezo mpaka wanawatendea maovu wenzao, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I DEPEND ON YOU.

There was a man who lived in a certain village. Such man was a bully while he was powerless. He liked making noise by arguing with people because there was the one whom he relied on enough to end any war. That is why he told him that, “I depend on you.”

This saying is related to a person who does evils to people by relying on his elder brother in his life. This person humiliates people by doing evil things to them because of his arrogance of relying on his elder brother who helps him in solving those problems, in his life. He fails to raise his family because of committing those evil deeds, in his life.

This person is similar to the one who provoked people until he quarreled with them because of relying on the one who ended his wars, because he also does evils to people by relying on his elder brother until he fails to nicely raise his family, in his life. That is why he tells him that, “I depend on you.”

This adage imparts in people an idea of stopping to rely on someone in power to the point of doing evils to their fellow human beings, so that they can better raise their families, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: HAIIJI KWA STAREHE.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea kuanza kunyesha kwa mvua. Mvua hiyo, haiiji kwa starehe kwa sababu huleka kazi ambazo watu huanza kuzifanya ili waweze kupata mali maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana watu hao husema kwamba, “haiiji kwa starehe.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujibidisha kufanya kazi zake vizuri unapofika wakati wa kuzitekeleza kazi hizo, katika maisha yake.

Yeye hupata mali nyingi kwenye familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya bidii yake hiyo ya kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na wale walioanza kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zao ilipoanza kunyesha mvua mpaka wakapata mali, kwa sababu naye hujibidisha kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake unapofika wakati wake mpaka anafanikiwa kupata mali, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “haiiji kwa starehe.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kujibidisha kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zao unapofika wakati wake, ili waweze kupata mali nyingi katika familia zao hizo.

ENGLISH: IT DOES NOT COME WITH PLEASURE.

The origin of this saying refers to a beginning of rain. This rain does not come with pleasure because it comes with works which people start doing so that they can get wealth in their lives. That is why these people say that, “it does not come with pleasure.”

This saying is matched to a person who strives to do his works well when the time of doing them reaches, in his life. This person, always goes to his jobs and strives to do them well until the end, because of his diligence in his life. He earns a lot of wealth in his family because of his diligence in doing his works well in life.

This person is similar to those who started doing their works well when it started to rain until they got wealth, because he also strives to do his works well when the time of doing them arrives until he succeeds in getting wealth, in his life.

KISWAHILI: NACHAMBUA TU.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa akipalilia palizi ya mahindi. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akipalilia palizi hiyo kwa umakini mkubwa sana kwa sababu yalikuwa hayajakua vizuri mahindi hayo. Ndiyo maana walipomuuliza watu waliopita pale alichokuwa akikifanya, alisema kwamba, “nachambua tu.”

Msema huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwahi kwenda kufanya kazi zake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huamka asubuhi na kwenda kufanya kazi kwa mguvu mpaga anaimaliza vizuri kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo wa kujibidisha kufanya kazi zake maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mali nyingi za kumsaidia vizuri katika familia yake hiyo, kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyepalilia shamba la mahindi madogo kwa umakini mkubwa mpaka akaimaliza vizuri, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana huwaambia watu kwamba, “nachambua tu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuwahi kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mali za kutumia vizuri katika familia zao hizo, maishani mwao.

KISWAHILI: UGAAGAAJI WA KUKU.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huangalia ugaagaaji wa kuku. Kuku akitaka kuoga hujigalagaza kwenye mchanga au kwenye majivu tu anamaliza kuoga kwa sababu ya kutokujijali kwakwe. Ndiyo maana watu huuita uogaji wake huo kuwa ni “ugaagaaji wa kuku.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu mchafu anayeoga kwa kujimwagia maji tu anamaliza, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huishi na uchafu mwingi mwilini mwake ambao huwa hausafishi vizuri katika uogaji wake huo wa kujimwagia maji mwilini tu anamaliza, kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kujijali vizuri maishani mwake. Yeye husumbuliwa na magonjwa yatokanayo na uchafu kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya kutosa umakini huo wa kuoga vizuri katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule kuku anayeoga kwa kujigalagaza tu kwenye mchanga anamaliza, kwa sababu naye hujimwagia maji tu mwilini mwake anamaliza kuoga, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuitaji kwamba ni “ugaagaaji wa kuku.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na kumakini wa kuoga kwa kujijali vizuri mpaka wanakuwa safi, ili waweze kujikinga na magonjwa yatokanayo na uchafu, katika familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: CHICKEN’S PLAYING WITH DUST.

The origin of the over head saying looks at the debauchery of chickens. When chicken want to bathe, only debaucheries in the sand or ashes and finish bathing because of lack of self-care. That is why people call such debauchery as “Chicken’s playing with dust.”

This saying is equaled to a dirty person who bathes by pouring water on him/herself and finishes. This person lives with a lot of dirt in his body that does not clean properly in his bath of pouring water on himself because of a lack of attention to taking respectable care of himself in his life. He is troubled by diseases which are caused by dirt in his family because of such lack of responsiveness to bathing properly in his life.

This person is like the hens which bathed by pouring water only by water without nicely cleaning, because he also pours water on his body and finishes bathing, in his life. That is why people call him as “Chicken’s playing with dust.”

This proverb teaches people about being careful enough to bathe and take respectable care of themselves until they are clean, so that they can protect themselves from diseases which are caused by dirt, in their family lives.

KISWAHILI: UDELELE WA FISI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea fisi. Fisi huyo ni mnyama mlafi wa kula nyama kwa sababu humwaga udelele anapoiona nyama hizo. Yeye hutembea sehemu mbali mbali akitafuta nyama kwa sababu ya ulafi wake huo. Ndiyo maana watu humwita jina la “udelele wa fisi.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni mlafi wa kula nyama katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo hutafuta nyama kwenye familia za watu walioipika nyama hiyo kwa sababu ya ulafi wake huo maishani mwake. Yeye hushindwa kuiendeleza vizuri familia yake kwa sababu ya ulafi wake huo wa kutumia muda wake kwa kutafuta nyama kwenye familia za watu wanaoipika, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule fisi anayetafuta nyama za kula kwa kutembea sehemu mbalimbali, kwa sababu naye hutafuta nyama kwenye familia za watu mpaka anashindwa kuiendeleza vizuri familia yake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jina la “udelele wa fisi.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha ulafi wa chakula kwa kujibidisha kufanya kazi zao vizuri ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi kwenye familia zao, maishani mwake.

ENGLISH: HYENAS’ SALIVATING.

The source of this saying is about hyenas. Hyenas are voracious carnivores because they salivate when they see meat. They travel to different places looking for meat because of their greediness. That is why people call them as “Hyenas’ salivating.”

This saying is equaled to a person who is a voracious in his life. This person looks for meat in families of people who cook it because of his gluttony in his life. He fails to properly support his family because of his voraciousness in spending his time looking for meat in the families of people who cook it, in his life.

This person resembles the hyena which looks for meat to eat by walking to different places, because he also looks for meat in people’s families until he fails to properly support his family, in his life. That is why people call him as “Hyenas’ salivating.”

This saying teaches people about stopping gluttony by working hard enough to nicely do their jobs so that they can achieve great success in their family lives.
