KISWAHILI: MASHARIKI KWELI KWELI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea juu ya utafutaji wa mifugo wa mtu yule aliyeipoteza. Alikuwepo mtu ambaye alipoteza mifugo yakwe aliyokuwa akiichunga. Mtu huyo, alianza kuitafuta kwa kuwauliza watu kama waiona.

Wale walioiona mifugo hiyo walimwambia, “elekea mashariki kweli kweli.” Lakini hiyo mashariki kweli kweli haitofautishi upande upi anaotakiwa kuelekea kwa sababu yeye anaweza kwenda hata kwingine asikotakiwa kwenda. Ndiyo maana watu walianza kusema kwa mtafutaji yule asiyeewa dira vizuri, kwamba elekea “mashariki kweli kweli.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hana umakini wa kuvitunza vitu vyake, na hana uelewa juu ya dira za kumsaidia kuvipata vile alivyopoteza, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huzitelekeza mali zake mpaka zinapotea ambazo hushindwa pia kuzipata kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini huo, maishani mwake. Yeye hupoteza mali zake na kushindwa kuzipata kwa sababu ya kujisahau kwake na kukosa umakini wa kuelewa dira za kumsaidia kuzipata kule zilipo mali zake hizo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyepoteza mifugo yake ambayo alishindwa kuipata katika utafutaji wake, kwa sababu naye hujisahau mpaka anapoteza mali zake ambazo huitafuta mpaka anashindwa kuipata, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, aelekee “maishariki kweli kweli.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuwawezesha kuzitunza vizuri mali zao, ili ziweze kuwasaidia katika kuziendeleza vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: EAST INDEED.

The origin of this saying talks about a search for a lost steer. There was a man who lost his steer which he was herding. This man began to search for it by asking people if they had seen it.

Those who saw it told him, “head east indeed.” However, such east indeed does not distinguish which direction he should go because he can even go somewhere else where he should not go. That is why people began to say to the cattle seeker who does not use a compass properly, that he should head “east indeed.”

This saying is matched to a person who is not watchful enough to take care of his belongings, and does not understand compasses which can support him in getting back what he has lost in his life. This person abandons his possessions until they are lost which he also fails to get them back because of his lack of responsiveness in his life. He loses his possessions and fails to find them because of his forgetfulness and lack of sound courtesy enough to understand the compasses which can support him in finding where his possessions are in his life.

This person is like the one who lost his livestock which he failed to find in his search, because he also forgets himself until he loses his possessions which he seeks until he fails to find in his life. That is why people tell him that he should go towards “east indeed.”

This saying teaches people about being cautious enough to enable them take good care of their possessions, so that they can support them in developing well their families in lives.

KISWAHILI: KISWAHI FISI.

Kiwahi fiki ni pombe ambayo hutengenezwa wakati wa jioni kabla ya jua kuchwea. Pombe hiyo, huitwa hivyo kwa sababu watu huinywa mapema kabla fisi hawajaanza kutoka kwenda kujitafutia chakula. Yenyewe huwa ni kijulisho cha kuelewa kama pombe hiyo itaiva au hapana. Ndiyo maana watu huiita jina la “kiwahi fisi.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwahi kuzifanya kazi zake na kuziewa mapema kama zitaleta faida au hapana, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huamka asubuhi na kwenda kutekeleza vizuri kazi zake mpaka anazielewa kama zitamletea faida au la, kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo, maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mali nyingi kwenye familia yake kila mwaka kwa sababu ya umakini wake wa kuwahi kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake hizo, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo hufanana na ile pombe ya kutengenezwa na kutumiwa mapema kabla ya kuingia usiku, kwa sababu naye huwahi kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake mpaka anafanikiwa kupata mali nyingi katika familia yake, kila mwaka, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jila la “kiwahi fisi.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuwahi kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mali za kutosha kuwasaidia katika kuziendeleza vizuri, familia zao.

ENGLISH: WHAT HAS EVER BEEN EARLY HYENAS

This saying is about an alcohol which is made by people in the evening time before sunset. This alcohol is called ‘what has ever been early hyenas’ because people drink it early before hyenas start to go out looking for food. It is a sign which helps consumers to understand whether such liquor will be ripe or not. That is why people call it “what has ever been early hyenas.”

This saying is paralleled to a man who always does his work and thinks early whether it will bring profit or not, in his life. Such man wakes up in the morning and goes to carry out his works well until he understands whether they will bring profit or not, because of his thoughtfulness in his life. He earns a lot of wealth for his family every year because of his active responsiveness enough to always carry out his works well in his life.

This man is similar to the alcohol that is made and consumed early before nightfall, because he also always carries out his works well until he succeeds in obtaining a lot of wealth for his family every year in his life. That is why people call him the “what has ever been early hyenas.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of being so careful enough to fulfill their responsibilities well, so that they can earn a lot of wealth enough to support them in running their families.

KISWAHILI: AKUNJAYE MITEGO.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea mitego ya viumbe vya majini. Mtego huo ni zana ya kuvulia samaki ambayo huwa na kamba ndefu iliyotegenezewa ndoano za karibu karibu. Wenyewe ukitupwa kwenye bwawa hukamata chochote kilichomo humo, kama vile kenge, nyoka na vingine vingi viishivyo majini. Vile vilivyokamatwa huweza kuukunja mtego huo. Ndiyo maana watu huviita jina la, “mkunja mitego.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huokoteza maneno yoyote yakiwemo ya uongo katika maongezi yake. Mtu huyo, huongea maneno yoyote yakiwemo yale ya uongo katika maongezi yake, kwa sababu anatabia mbaya katika maisha yake. Yeye huwagombanisha watu waiishio katika familia yake kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo mbaya ya kuongea maneno ya uongo maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na ule mtego wa samaki uliokamata chochote kinachoishi majini, kwa sababu naye huokoteza na kuyaongea maneno yoyote yakiwemo yale ya uongo, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jina la “akunjaye mitego.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na tabia njema ya kuwawezesha kuongea maneno yao kwa umakini mkubwa katika maongezi yao, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THE TRAPS TWISTER

The origin of this saying refers to trap of aquatic creatures. This trap is a fishing tool that has a long rope which is made of hooks that are close together. When it is thrown into a pond, it catches anything in it, such as leeches, snakes and many other aquatic beings. Those caught ones can twist the trap. That is why people call it, “the traps twister.”

This saying is matched to a person who twists any word, including dishonest ones in his communication. Such person speaks deceitful words, in his dialogue because of having wicked wont in his life. He causes conflict among people who live in his family because of his evil pattern of speaking indelicate words in his life.

This person is similar to the fish trap that catches anything that lives in water, because he also twists any word by speaking fabricated ones in his life. That is why people call him, “the traps twister.”

This saying instills in people an idea of having good manners that enable them to speak their words with great care in their conversations, so that they can raise their families well in their lives.
