KISWAHILI: PATA PESA (MALI) TUJUE TABIA YAKO.

Msemo huo, huongelea juu ya ujulikanaji wa tabia ya mtu aliyepata mali. Alikuwepo mtu ambaye tabia yake haikufahamika vizuri wakati hajapata pesa. Mtu huyo, alipopata pesa watu waliifahamu tabia yake kwa sababu alianza kujivuna kwa kuwadharau wale ambao hawajapata mali kama zake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “pata pesa (mali) tujue tabia yako.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyetajirika kwa kupata mali akaanza kuwadharau wenzake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwadharau watu wale ambao hawana mali kwa sababu ya majivuno yake hayo maishani mwake. Yeye hukosa Baraka za kuilea vyema familia yake kwa sababu ya kulingia mali zake hizo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyepata pesa akaanza kuwadharau wenzake, kwa sababu naye pia huwadharau watu wale ambao hawana pesa, kama zake maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “pata pesa (mali) tujue tabia yako.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu wenye mali juu ya kuacha tabia ya kuwadharau wale ambao hawana mali, ili waweze kupata Baraka za kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: GET MONEY (PROPERTY) SO WE KNOW YOUR CHARACTER.

This saying talks about character recognition of a person who got wealth. There was a man whose character was not well known when he did not earn money. That person, when he got money, people knew his behavior because he started becoming proud by looking down on those who have not got wealth like his. That is why people told him that, “get money (property) so we know your character.”

This saying is compared to a person who got rich by getting wealth and started to despise his colleagues, in his life. Such person despises those who have no wealth because of his pride in his life. He misses blessings of raising his family well because of his pride in life.

This person is like the one who got money and started despising his colleagues, because he also despises people who do not have money, like his own in his life. That is why people tell him that, “get money (property) so we know your character.”

This saying imparts in rich people an idea of stopping looking down on people who do not have money, so that they can get blessings for raising their families well, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: WAMEKUTANISHA MIKONO.

Chanzo cha msemo huo chaongelea juu ya baba mkwe na mkwilima wake au mama mkwe na mkaa mwana wake. Watu hao kabla hawajazoeana kwa kula pamoja, huchinja mfugo kama vile mbuzi au kondoo wa kukutanisha mikono. Ndiyo maana wale waliokula mbuzi huyo watu husema juu yao kwamba, “wamekutanisha mikono.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao wana heshima kwa wakubwa na wageni wao, katika maisha yao. Watu hao, huwasaidia wakubwa na kuwakaribisha wageni wao vizuri katika familia zao, kwa sababu ya heshima yao hiyo, maishani mwao. Wao huishi na watu wengi na mali nyingi kwenye familia zao, kwa sababu ya kuwalea katika malezi mema watu wao hao.

Watu hao hufanana na wale waliochinja mfugo wa kukutanisha mikono, kwa sababu nao wana heshima ya kuwasaidia vizuri wakubwa wao na kuwapokea vizuri wageni katika familia zao. Ndiyo maana watu husema juu yao kwamba, “wamekutanisha mikono.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na heshima ya kuwasaidia watu na kuwakaribisha wageni kwenye familia zao, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THEY HAVE JOINED HANDS.

This saying talks about the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law or the mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law. Those people, before they get used to eating together, slaughter livestock such as goats or sheep for joining their hands together in their families. That is why those who ate the goat, people say about them that, “they have joined hands.”

This saying is equated to people who have respect to their superiors and guests, in their lives. Those people, help their elders and welcome their guests well in their families, because of their respect, in their lives. They live with many people and many assets in their families, because of raising their members in a good upbringing.

Those people are similar to those who slaughtered livestock for being together with their new family members, because they also have an honor of helping their elders and receiving guests well in their families. That is why people say about them that, “they have joined hands.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of having sound respect to each other enough to help people and welcome strangers in their families, so that they can raise their family members well in their lives.

KISWAHILI: AMESHUSHIWA JIWE.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyebeba jiwe kubwa kwenye mabega yake akilipeleka nyumbani kwake. Mtu huyo alilibeba kwa uvumilivu jiwe hilo mpaka akasaidiwa na mtu fulani aliyemshushia mzigo huo kutoka kwenye mabega yake. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “ameshushiwa jiwe.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi ngumu kwa uvumilivu mkubwa, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, ana nguvu anazozitumia katika kufanya kazi hizo nzito mpaka anapata mazao mengi ya chakula kwa sababu ya uvumilivu wake huo, maishani mwake. Yeye huwafundisha watu wake kufanya kazi hizo ngumu mpaka wanaweza kumsaidia kupata mali nyingi kwenye familia yake, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyebeba jiwe kubwa mabegani mwake kwa uvumilivu mpaka akasaidiwa na mwenzake, kwa sababu naye pia hufanya kazi nzito kwa kuwafundisha watu wake mpaka wanaweza kumsaidia kutua mzigo mzito katika familia yake. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “ameshushiwa jiwe.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuvumilia kufanya kazi zao kwa bidii kubwa mpaka waweze kupata mali za kutosha kuwasidia vizuri katika maishani yao yote.

ENGLISH: HE HAS BEEN STONED.

There was a man who carried a big stone on his shoulders to his home. This man patiently carried it until he was helped by someone who lowered the burden from his shoulders. That is why people said that, “he has been stoned.”

This saying is equaled to a person who works hard with great patience, in his life. That person has strength of using in doing those heavy tasks until he gets a lot of food crops because of his patience in his life. He teaches his people in doing hard works until they can help him in getting more wealth for his family, in his life.

This person is similar to the one who carried a big stone on his shoulders with patience until he was helped by his colleague, because he also does heavy works by teaching his people until they can help him to land heavy burdens in his family. That is why people say that, “he has been stoned.”

This saying teaches people to persevere in doing their works with great effort until they get enough wealth for supporting them well throughout their lives.
