Luka 14:31.

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.

Luke 14:31.

Olihoyi munhu uyo alina majacha umukikalile kakwe. Umunhu ng’wunuyo, olina jika jinijo gwingila haho bhubyalilwa bhokwe, kunguno ijoyi jigampandikaga munhu ose ab’ize nsab’i nulu nhab’i.

Matendo ya Mitume 11:8-9.

KISWAHILI: MATEGE HAYANA TAJIRI WALA MASKINI.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa na matege katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, alikuwa na kilema hicho tangu kuzaliwa kwake kwa sababu kilema chenyewe hakibagui mtu yeyote awe tajiri au maskini. Yeye alikuwa na mali nyingi kwenye familia yake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “matege hayana tajiri wala maskini.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwapokea watu wa kila namna kwenye familia yake, katika maisha yake hayo. Mtu huyo, huongea na maskini pamoja na matajiri bila kumbague yeyote, maishani mwake. Yeye huishi na watu wengi sana kwenye familia yake kwa sababu anaelewa kuwa watu wote ni viumbe vya Mungu ampaye nguvu za kufanya kazi zake vizuri, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yale matege aliyokuwa nayo yule tajiri, kwa sababu naye huishi na watu wa kila namna kwenye familia yake hiyo. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “matege hayana tajiri wala maskini.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuachana na tabia za kuwabagua watu kwa kuishi na watu wa kila aina, kwa sababu wote wameumbwa na Mungu, ili waweze kupata Baraka za kuishi vizuri, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: ABNORMAL LEGS HAVE NEITHER RICH NOR POOR.

There was a man who had scars in his life. Such man had a disability since birth because that disability itself did not discriminate between rich and poor. He had a lot of wealth in his family. That is why people told him that, “abnormal legs have neither rich nor poor.”

This saying is related to the person who accepts all kinds of people in his family in life. Such person talks to the poor as well as the rich without discriminating against anyone in his life. He lives with a good number of people in his family because he understands that all people are creatures of God who gives to him the strength to do his daily work well in his life.

This person resembles to the scars that the rich man had, because he also lives with all kinds of people in his family. That is why people tell him that, “abnormal legs have neither rich nor poor.”

This saying teaches people about abandoning habits of discriminating people by living with all kinds of people, because they are all creatures of God, so that they can get blessings of living well, in their families.

Olihoyi munhu uyo witanagwa makinu. Umunhu ng’winuyo oli na nguzu ningi kunguno oliadakangilwe nulu hado pye amakanza. Lushigu lumo, uweyi agafuma ghujiku ugamanhya na ndimu nhali yuumulaga guko kumabala. Hunagwene abhanhu bhagayomba giki, “ng’wana makinu agikinukilwa ku mabala.”

KISWAHILI: MWANA MAKINU ALISHINDWA NJE NA KWAKE.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyeitwa Makinu. Mtu huyo, alikuwa na nguzu nyingi kwa sababu hakutishwa hata kidogo wakati wote. Siku moja alitoka nje usiku akakutana na myama mkali aliyemuua mtu huyo nje ya nyumbani kwake. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba “mwana makinu alishindwa nje na kwake.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huzitumia vibaya nguzu zake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huzitumia nguvu zake hizo kwa kujidai hovyo ili watu wamsifiye kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini katika maisha yake. Yeye hujiumiza bure katika majigambo yake hayo, kwa sababu ya kupenda sifa kwake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na mwana Makinu aliyeuliwa na yule myama mkali alipozitumia vibaya nguvu zake hizo, kwa sababu naye huzitumia vibaya nguzu zake hizo mpaka anaumia bure, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “mwana Makinu alishindwa nje na kwake.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuzitumia nguvu zao kwa umakini mkubwa ili ziweze kuwasaidia vizuri, maishani mwao.

1Samweli 17:48 -51.

Waamuzi 16:18-22.

ENGLISH: MAKINU’S SON WAS DEFEATED OUTSIDE HIS HOME.

There was a man whose was Makinu’s son. He had a lot of power because he was not intimidated at all in his life. One day, he went out at night and met a stronger man than him who killed him outside his house. That is why people said that “Makinu’s son was defeated outside his home.”

This saying is related to a person who misuses his power in his life. Such person uses his power to claim praise carelessly for getting praise from people because of the lack of focus in his life. He hurts himself in vain in his boasting, because of looking for praise from people.

This person is similar to Makinu’s son who was killed by the fierce man when he misused his power, because he also misuses his power until he gets hurt for nothing, in his life. That is why people tell him that, “Makinu’s son was defeated outside his home.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of using their power very carefully so that it can help them well, in their lives.
