KISWAHILI: IDONDOSHA NGUO.

Indodosha nguo ni uangushaji wa nguo uliotokea kwa mama mmoja aliyekuwa kwenye mkusanyiko wa watu. Mama huyo, aliidondosha nguo yake hiyo bila kuelewa kwa sababu ya wingi wa watu waliokusanyika kwenye mkutano huo. Ndiyo maana watu waliuita mkutano huo kuwa ni “idondosha nguo.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hana umakini wa kuvitunza vizuri vitu vyake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huvitelekeza hovyo mali zake kwa kuziacha bila uangalizi mzuri, kwa sababu ya kuukosa huo umakini wa kuzitunza vizuri mali zake hizo. Yeye huviacha kwa kuvisahau sehemu fulani mali zake hizo, mpaka zinapotea kwa sababu ya kutokuzijali vizuri kwake mali zake hizo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mama aliyeangusha nguo yake kwenye mkusanyiko wa watu mpaka ikapotea, kwa sababu naye huvitelekeza vitu vyake mpaka vinapotea, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jila la “idondosha nguo.”

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

KISWAHILI: SAFARI GANI HII?

Chanzo cha msemo huo kilianzia kwa watu waliokuwa katika safari yao ya kwenda sehemu fulani. Watu hao, walikuwa wakitembea kwa kutofautiana, huku wengine walinyosha wakitembea kwa haraka katika safari yao hiyo, lakini baadhi yao walitembea polepole huku wakisimama sehemu mbalimbali. Ndiyo maana watu waliwauliza kwamba, “safari gani hii?’

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao hufanya kazi zao bila kuwa na umoja wenye ushirikiano mzuri, katika maisha yao. Watu hao, hufanya kazi zao kwa kusitasita kwa sababu ya kukosa umaskini wa kushikiriana kwa umoja katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao hayo. Wao hushindwa kupata mali nyingi kwenye familia zao, kwa sababu ya kukosa huo umakini wenye ushirikiano wa kufanya kazi zao vizuri, maishani mwao.

Watu hao, hufanana na wale waliosafiri bila kuwa na umoja wa kuendana kwa pamoja katika safari yao hiyo, kwa sababu nao huwa hawaendani vizuri katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao. Ndiyo maana watu huwauliza kwamba, “safari gani hii?”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kufanya kazi zao kwa kuwa na ushirikiano wa kuendena vizuri katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mali nyingi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: WHAT JOURNEY IS THIS?

The source of the above saying started from people who were on their journey to a certain place. They were walking differently, while others stretched out walking quickly on their journey, but some of them walked slowly while stopping at different places. That is why people asked them that, “What journey is this?”

This saying is related to people who do their works without having good cooperation in their families. Those people do their works reluctantly because of the lack of unity in fulfilling their duties. They fail to get good enough wealth to run their families, because of lack of that cooperative focus in doing their daily jobs well in their societies.

These people are similar to those who traveled without having unity of going together in their journey, because they also do not go well together in fulfilling their daily duties. That is why people ask them that, “What journey is this?”

This saying imparts in people an idea of doing their jobs by having good cooperation enough to go well in fulfilling their daily responsibilities, so that they can get a lot of wealth in their families.

Ugwisengekela ili gubhucha nulu guzega michimu na masonga. Amachimu jili jilanga ja guchimila. Amasonga gali jilanga ja gulasila ginhu nulu bhanishi bho gutumila bhuta.

KISWAHILI: NIMEBEBA MIKUKI NA MISHALE.

Mikuki ni silaha za kuchomea kitu fulani. Mishale nazo ni silaha za kuchomea kitu au adui kwa kutumia upinde. Alikuwepo mtu aliyebeba silaha zake hizo kwenda kupigana na adui zake. Ndiyo maana aliwaambia watu kwamba, “nimebeba mikuki na mishale.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hubeba silaha nzuri za kufanyia kazi zake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa tayari kila wakati kwa kubeba na kutumia silaha zitakiwazo katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yakwe, kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo. Yeye hupata mafanikio mengi katika kazi zake kwa sababu ya kutumia silaha nzuri katika kazi zake hizo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mtu aliyebeba mikuki na mishale alipokuwa akienda vitani, kwa sababu naye huchukua zana nzuri za kufanyia kazi zake, katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yake. Ndiyo maana yeye huwaambia watu kwamba, “nimebeba mikuki na mishale.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kutumia silaha nzuri katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi, maishani mwao.

Luka 14:31.

ENGLISH: I HAVE CARRIED SPEARS AND ARROWS.

Spears are weapons for chopping something. Arrows are also weapons for slicing something or an enemy by using a bow. There was a man who carried his weapons in fighting against his enemies. That is why he told the people that, “I have carried spears and arrows.”

This saying is compared to a person who carries good weapons enough to do his works in his life. Such person is always ready to carry and use the necessary weapons in the execution of his duties, because of his attention. He gets a lot of successes in his works because of using good weapons in fulfilling his daily responsibilities.

This person resembles to the person who carried spears and arrows when he was going to war, because he also takes good tools for doing well his works in fulfilling his duties. That is why he tells people that, “I have carried spears and arrows.”

This saying teaches people about using good weapons in the execution of their duties, so that they can get a lot of successes in their families.
