KISWAHILI: ANAVUTWA NA FISI.

Msemo huo huongelea juu ya mchungaji wa mifugo aliyejisahau mpaka mwishowe kondoo wake akachukuliwa na fisi. Mchungaji huyo, alikuwa akichunga kondoo, mbuzi, na ng’ombe. Kondoo wake alichukuliwa na fisi bila ya yeye kufahamu kwa sababu ya kujisahau kwake huko mpaka mwishowe watu wakawaona fisi wakimvuta kondoo huyo. Ndiyo maana watu hao walisema “anavutwa na fisi.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hazitunzi vizuri mali zake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huvitelekeza hovyo vitu vyake hivyo mpaka mwishowe vinapotea, kwa sababu ya kutovitunza vizuri vitu vyake hivyo, maishani mwake. Yeye huishiwa mali katika familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya kuzitelekeza hovyo mali zake hizo mpaka mwishowe zinapotea, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mchungaji aliyejisahau mpaka kondoo wake akachukuliwa na fisi, kwa sababu naye huvitelekeza hovyo vitu vyake mpaka mwishowe vinapotea, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu wanaoziona mali zake zikipotea hivyo humwambia kwamba, “anavutwa na fisi.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuvitunza vizuri  vitu vyao, ili viweze kuwasaidia vizuri katika familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: IT IS BEING DRAGGED BY A HYENA.

This proverb talks about a shepherd who forgot himself until finally his sheep was taken by a hyena. The shepherd was herding sheep, goats, and cattle. His sheep was taken by a hyena without him knowing because of his forgetfulness until people saw the hyenas dragging it. That is why those people said that “It is being dragged by a hyena.”

This proverb is matched to a person who does not take decent care of his possessions in his life. This person neglects his belongings until they are eventually lost, because of not taking respectable precaution of his belongings in his life. He runs out of wealth in his family because of neglecting his belongings until they are eventually lost in his life.

This person is like the shepherd who forgot himself until his sheep was taken by a hyena, because he also neglects his belongings until they are eventually lost in his life. That is why people who see his possessions disappearing like that tell him that, “it is being dragged by a hyena.”

This proverb instills in people a clue about being cautious enough to take respectable carefulness of their belongings so that they can support them well in their families in their lives.

KISWAHILI: SISEMI KWA DHARAU.

Hapo zamani alikuwepo mtu aliyeishi katika kijiji cha Bubinza. Mtu hiyo alikuwa akisema ukweli lakini wenzake walikuwa wakimdharau kwa sababu ya dharau zao hizo. Mtu huyo, alivumilia kwa kuwajibi vizuri watu hao. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “sisemi kwa dharau.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule anayewaheshimu watu wake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwatendea mema watu hao hao bila ya kuwadharau kwa sababu ya unyenyekevu wake huo wa kuwaheshimu watu wake hao, maishani mwake. Yeye huishi kwa furaha kubwa na watu wa kwenye familia yake hiyo, kwa sababu ya unyenyekevu wake huo wa kuwaheshimu watu wake, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyewajibu kwa heshiwa watu waliomdharau alipowaambia ukweli, kwa sababu naye huwatendea mema watu wake bila ya kuwadharau, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “sisemi kwa dharau.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na unyenyekevu wa kuwaheshimu watu wao ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao hizo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I DO NOT SPEAK WITH DISRESPECT.

Once upon a time, there was a man who lived in the village of Bubinza. He spoke the truth but his earls disrespected him because of their impudence. Such man endured their lack of respect by responding politely to them. That is why he said that, “I do not speak with disrespect.”

This saying is related to a man who respects his family members in his life. This man nicely treats folks without disrespecting them because of his humility of regarding people in his life. He lives with great happiness with his family members, because of his humility of valuing them in his life.

This man resembles the one who responded respectfully to people who disrespected him when he told them the truth, because he also politely treats his people without disrespecting them in his life. That is why he says, “I do not speak with disrespect.”

This saying imparts in societal members an idea of being humble enough to respect their societal members so that they can nicely nurture their families in their lives.

KISWAHILI: IMEANGUKA BAHATI.

Msemo huo, huangalia mifugo waliochungia kwenye hazina ya nyasi nyingi ambazo hawajachungua mifugo hata mara moja. Mifugo hao, walipofika kwenye nyasi hizo nyingi, walijibidisha kula kwa furaha kwa sababu walikuwa wana njaa ya kukosa chakula kwa muda wa siku nyingi. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “imeanguka bahati.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliye na njaa akapata chakula kingi katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hupata chakula hicho na kujibidisha kula kwa nguvu sana kwa sababu ya kukaa bila kula kwa muda mrefu, maishani mwake. Yeye hula chakula alichokipata mpaka anakimaliza, kwa sababu ya kukaa muda mrefu bila ya kula chakula, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale mifugo waliokuwa na njaa kwa muda mrefu wakapata nyasi na kujibidisha kuzila mpaka wakazimaliza, kwa sababu naye hupata chakula akiwa na njaa na kukila mpaka akakimaliza, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “imenguka bahati.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kukitunza vizuri chakula wanachokipata ili kiweze kuwasaidia katika siku zao za mbeleni, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: LUCK HAS FALLEN.

This proverb refers to cattle that grazed in a treasure of a lot of grasses which they have never grazed before. When these cattle reached those grasses they happily ate it all because they were hungry for not having eaten for several days. That is why people said that, “luck has fallen.”

This proverb is equated to a hungry man one who finds a lot of food in his life. This person finds food and forces himself to eat very hard because of not eating for a long time in his life. He eats such food until he finishes it because of being hungry for a long time in his life.

This person is like those cattle that ate grasses which they found after being hungry for a long time because he also finds food when he is hungry and eats it until he finishes it in his life. That is why people say to him, “luck has fallen.”

This proverb teaches individuals on how to be cautious to take virtuous care of food which they get so that it can help them in their future days in their lives.
