Marko 10:7.

KISWAHILI: UPINDE VUNJIKA UNIACHIE UGE(KAMBA YA MSHIPA WA MNYAMA) WANGU.

Methali hiyo ilianzia kwa mtu aliyekuwa akiwinda wanyama kwa kutumia upinde. Upinde huo ni mti ambao hukunjwa kwa kufungwa uge au mshipa wa mnyama, ambao huvutwa na mwindaji kwa kutumia mshale ndipo ana urusha mshale wake anapoachia.

Upinde huo unaweza kuvunjika kwa sababu ya kukunjwa na uge au kamba ya mshipa  wakati wa kuurusha mshale huo. Upinde huo ukivunjika mwindaji hupata mwingine kwa sababu amebaki na ile kamba ya mshipa. Ndiyo maana husema, “upinde vunjika uniachie uge au kamba yangu.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye amefiwa na mtoto wake. Mtu huyo, huhudhunika sana, kwa sababu ya kuachwa na mtoto wake huyo wa pekee kwake. Watu humfariki kwa kumwambia kwamba, atazaa mtoto mwingine kwa sababu yeye yupo.

Mtoto huyo hufanana na upinde ambao huvunjika, kwa sababu naye mtoto amefariki. Uge au kamba hiyo ya mshipa hufanana na mama mzazi wa mtoto, kwa sababu naye amebaki kwa hiyo, anaweza kuzaa mtoto mwingine. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “upinde vunjika uniachie uge au kamba yangu.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uvumilifu wanapopatwa na matatizo, na kuwafariji wenzao, ambao bado wako kwenye matatizo ili waweze kuishi kwa furaha, maishani mwao.

Mwanzo 2:18-23. “BWANA Mungu akasema, ‘‘Si vema huyu mtu awe peke yake. Nitamfanyia msaidizi wakumfaa.’’ Basi BWANA Mungu alikuwa amefanyiza kutoka katika ardhi wanyama wote wa porini na ndege wote wa angani. Akawaleta kwa huyu mtu aone atawaitaje, nalo jina lo lote alilokiita kila kiumbe hai, likawa ndilo jina lake. Hivyo Adamu akawapa majina wanyama wote wa kufugwa, ndege wa angani na wanyama wote wa porini. Lakini kwa Adamu hakupatikana msaidizi wa kumfaa. Hivyo BWANA Mungu akamfanya Adamu kulala usingizi mzito, naye alipokuwa amelala akachukua moja ya mbavu zake akapafunika mahali pale kwa nyama. Kisha BWANA Mungu akamfanya mwanamke kutoka kwenye ule ubavu aliouchukua kutoka kwa huyo mwanaume, akamleta huyo mwanamke kwa huyo mwanaume. Huyo mwanaume akasema, “Huyu sasa ni mfupa wa mifupa yangu na nyama ya nyama yangu, ataitwa ‘mwanamke,’kwa kuwa alitolewa katika mwanaume.’’”

Marko 10:7. “Kwa sababu hii mwanaume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake na kuambatana na mkewe na hao wawili, watakuwa mwili mmoja.’”

ENGLISH: BOW BREAK; LEAVE FOR ME MY STRING.

This saying originated from a man who was hunting animals by using a bow. The bow is made of a curved piece of wood joined at both ends by a taut string or a fibrous material extracted and dried from a dead animal skin, which is used as a bow string which the hunter pulls after attaching to it an arrow that he releases after extending the string to the maximum.

The bow can be broken as a result of being pulled by the hunter when he shoots the arrow. If the bow breaks, the hunter will find another one because he is left with the string. That is why he says, “bow break; but leave for me my string.”

This saying is compared with a person who loses a child in death. Such person becomes unhappy because he has lost the only child one had.  However, people comfort such a person by telling her that she will give birth to another child because she is there.

 In this context, the child who dies is like a bow that is broken. The string is similar to the baby’s mother, because she too has survived so she can give birth to another baby. That is why people say, “bow break; but leave for me my strinf.”

This sayinf teaches people on how to be patient when they are in trouble, and to comfort others, who are still in trouble, so that they can live happily.

KISWAHILI: TUNYOENI ZIKIOTA.

Methali hiyo, ilianzia kwa watu waliokuwa wakinyoana nywele zao. Nywele za watu hao, zilikuwa zikiota wanapozinyoa, kuonesha kwamba kila mmoja bado ana uhai wa kuishi hapa duniani.

Walipoelewa hivyo, walianza kuombeana baraka za kuishi maisha marefu, ili waendelee kuonana na kuongea pamoja katika maisha yao. Ndiyo maana waliambiana kwamba, ‘tunyoeni zikiota.’

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwaombea baraka za kuishi salama watu anaoishi nao, katika uhai wake. Mtu huyo, anaelewa kuishi kwa upendo na wenzake.

Yeye ana upendo wa kuwaombea wenzake baraka za kutoka kwa Mungu, kwa sababu ya uelewa wake, kwamba, Mungu ndiye mwenye baraka hizo, ili waendelee kuishi kwa amani, maishani mwao.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na watu wale waliokuwa wakinyoana na kuombeana baraka za kuishi kwa furaha, ili waendelee kuwa na amani maishani mwao, kwa sababu naye huwaombea wenzake anaoishi nao, baraka za kutoka kwa Mungu, maishani mwake.

Yeye huwafundisha pia watu wake juu ya kuwa na upendo wa kuombeana baraka za kutoka kwa mwenyezi Mungu, ili waendelee kuishi kwa amani. Ndiyo maana huwaambia wenzake kwamba, “tunyoeni zikiota.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na upendo wa kuombeana baraka za kutoka kwa Mungu, ili waweze kuendelea kuonana na kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: LET US SHAVE OUR HAIR IT WILL GROW.

This saying began with people who were cutting their hairs. The hairs of these people were growing whenever they had been shaved, showing that every one of them was still alive on this earth.

When they understood this, they began to pray for each other for blessings so that they live longer enough to enable them to continue to see eath other and talk together in their lives. That is why they said to one another, “Let us shave our hair it will grow.”

This saying is likened with a man who prays for the blessings to live safely with the people he lives with. He loves to pray for his fellows for blessings from God, because of his understanding, that God is the one who has those blessings. He does so that they may continue to live peacefully in their lives.

This person is like those people who used to shave and pray for the blessings of living happily, so that they could continue to have peace in their lives. This is because he also prays for his companions who live with him, so that they can get God’s blessings in their lives.

He also teaches his people to love one another and to pray for one another’s blessings from God, so that they may live in peace. That is why he tells his companions: “let us shave our hair it will grow.”

KISWAHILI: TUTAONANA TUKIWA BADO TUNACHEZESHA MASIKIO.

Methali hiyo, ilianzia kwa watu wawili waliokuwa wakiongea katika safari yao. Watu hao, walioyaona masikio yao yakicheza walipokuwa wakiongea, kuonesha uwepo wa uhai wa kila mmoja wao alio nao.

Mmoja wao alimwambia mwenzake, “mimi nimefika ninapoenda tutaonana tena.” Mwenzake alijibu, “tutaonana tukiwa bado tunachezesha masikio.” Ndiyo kusema kwamba, wataonana tena kama watakuwa hai, kwa sababu watu waliokufa hawawezi kuyachezesha masikio yao.

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye anaelewa kwamba, uhai wa wanadamu una mwisho hapa duniani ambao wao hawauhafamu, maishani mwao. Mtu huyo, ana unyenyekevu wa kuomba uhai kutoka kwa mwenye uhai ambaye ni Mungu. Kutokana na unyenyekevu huo, yeye huwaombea wenzake uhai ili waendelee kuonana kama bado wako hai.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale watu waliokuwa wakiongea katika safari yao, ambao walielewa kwamba, uhai wao una mwisho, kwa sababu naye huwaombea uhai wenzake anaoishi nao ili waendele kupata nafasi ya kuonana maishani mwao, kuonesha kwamba haufamu mwisho wa uhai wao.

Yeye huwafundisha pia watu wake juu ya kuwa na unyenyekevu wa kuombeana uhai kutoka kwa mwenyezi Mungu, ili wapate nafasi ya kuonana kama bado wako hai. Ndiyo maana huwaambia wenzake kwamba, “tutaonana tukiwa bado tunachezesha masikio.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na unyenyekevu wa kumtegemea Mungu, na kuombeana uhai utokao kwake, ili waweze kuendelea kuonana na  kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, katika siku za uhai wao.

ENGLISH: WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER WHILE EARS ARE STILL PLAYING.

This saying began with two people who were talking to each other on their journey. These people saw their ears playing as they spoke, showing that there was life in each one of them.

One of them said to the other, “I have reached my point of destination, we shall meet again.” His companion replied, “We will see each other while our ears will still be playing.” That is to say, they will see each other again if they are alive, because the dead cannot touch their ears.

This saying is compared with the person who understands that a human being’s life here on earth has got an end.Those people do not understand, when will it end. Therefore, such a person has humility to ask for life from the living God. With such humility, he prays for the life of his companions so that they can continue to see each other if they are still alive.

The above man is like the people who were talking on their journey and who understood that their lives had an end. Therefore, each of them prayed for the life of his colleagues so that they together continue to see each other in their lives, showing that they do not know the end of their lives.

He also teaches his people about the humility of asking one another for life from God; so that they may have the opportunity to see each other if they are still alive. That is why he told his colleague, “We will see each other while our ears are still playing.”

This saying teaches people how to be humble and keep their trust in God, and pray for life from Him, so that they may continue to see each other and fulfill their responsibilities in all the days of their lives.

KISWAHILI: UMEBEBEA KWENYE CHOMBO KILICHOTOBOKA.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyebeba chakula akikipeleka sehemu fulani. Lakini, chakula hicho kilikuwa kikizidi kupungua tu katika safari yake hiyo. Mwishowe akaanza kujiuliza mwenyewe, “kwa nini mzigo wangu unazidi kupungua?” Mtu mmoja aliyekuwepo nyuma yake akakiona chakula hicho kilichokuwa kikimwagika, akamwambia, “umebebea kwenye chombo kilichotoboka.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi isiyo na faida yoyote, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hupoteza wakati wake bure, huku akizimaliza hovyo nguvu zake hizo. Yeye huzimaliza nguvu zake hizo kwa kuifanya kazi hiyo kwa muda mrefu na bila faida yoyote.

Mtu huyo, hufananishwa na yule aliyebebea chakula chake kwenye chombo kilichotoboka, kwa sababu naye hufanya kazi isiyo na faida, katika utendaji wake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “umebebea kwenye chombo kilichotoboka.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha kupoteza muda wao katika kufanya kazi isiyo na faida yoyote, maishani mwao. Kumbe basi, wanatakiwa kuzifanyia utafiti kazi zao, ili waweze kuzichagua na kuzitekeleza zile zinazowaletea faida katika kuziendeleza familia zao, maishani mwao.

Hagai 1:6. “Mmepanda vingi, lakini mmevuna haba. Mnakula lakini hamshibi, mnakunywa, lakini hamtosheki. Mnavaa nguo, lakini hamsikii joto. Mnapata mishahara, lakini inatoweka kama imewekwa kwenye mfuko uliotoboka toboka.”

Mhubiri 2:11. “Hata hivyo nilipokuja kuangalia yote ambayo mikono yangu ilikuwa imefanya na yale niliyotaabika kukamilisha, kila kitu kilikuwa ni ubatili, ni kukimbizaupepo, hapakuwa na faida yo yote chini ya jua.”

Isaya 49:4. “Lakini nilisema, “Nimetumika bure, nimetumia nguvu zangu bure bila faida. Hata hivyo linalonistahili liko mkononi mwa BWANA, nayo ijara yangu iko kwa Mungu wangu.””

Yeremia 12:13. “Watapanda ngano lakini watavuna miiba, watajitaabisha lakini hawatafaidi cho chote Kwa hiyo beba aibu ya mavuno yako kwa sababu ya hasira kali ya BWANA Mungu.’’”

1 Wathesalonike 3:5. “Kwa sababu hii nilipokuwa siwezi kuvumilia zaidi, nilimtuma mtu ili nipate habari za imani yenu. Niliogopa kwamba kwa njia fulani yule mjaribu asiwe amewajaribu, nasi tukawa tumejitaabisha bure.”

Tito 3:9. “Lakini jiepushe na maswali ya kipuzi, mambo ya koo, mabishano na ugomvi kuhusu sheria, kwa sababu haya hayana faida tena ni ubatili.”

Luka 10:38-42. “Ikawa Yesu na wanafunzi Wake walipokuwa wakienda Yerusalemu, akaingia kwenye kijiji kimoja ambapo mwanamke mmoja aliyeitwa Martha alimkaribisha nyumbani kwake. Martha alikuwa na mdogo wake aliyeitwa Maria, ambaye yeye aliketi chini miguuni mwa Yesu akisikiliza yale aliyokuwa akisema. Lakini Martha alikuwa akihangaika na maandalizi yote yaliyokuwa yafanyike. Martha akaja kwa Yesu na kumwuliza, “Bwana, hujali kwamba ndugu yangu ameniachia kazi zote mwenyewe? Basi mwambie anisaidie.” Lakini Bwana akamjibu, “Martha,Martha, mbona unasumbuka na kuhangaika na mengi? Lakini kunahitajika kitu kimoja tu. Maria amechagua kile kilicho bora, wala hakuna mtu atakayemwondolea.””

Luka 16:16-20. ‘‘Torati na manabii vilitumiwa mpaka kuja kwa Yohana Mbatizaji. Tangu wakati huo habari njema za Ufalme wa Mungu zinahubiriwa na kila mmoja hujiingiza kwa nguvu. Lakini ni rahisi zaidi mbingu na nchi kupita kuliko hata herufi moja kuondoka katika Sheria. “Mtu ye yote ampaye mkewe talaka na kumwoa mwanamke mwingine azini, naye mwanaume amwoaye mwanamke aliyetalikiwa azini.  ‘‘Palikuwa na mtu mmoja tajiri aliyevaa nguo za rangi ya zambarau na kitani safi, ambaye aliishi kwa anasa, kila siku. Hapo penye mlango wake aliishi maskini mmoja, jina lake Lazaro, mwenye vidonda mwili mzima.”

ENGLISH: YOU HAVE CARRIED IT IN A LEAKY CONTAINER.

There was a man carrying food to a certain place. However, the food he was carrying went on diminishing as he was going. He began wondering by asking himself, “Why is my load becoming lighter?” A man behind him saw the spilled food and said, “You have carried it in a leaky container.”

This proverb is likened with a man who works in vain. Such man wastes his time, as well as his energy. He completes his task by working for a long time and to no avail.

Such person is likened with a person who carries his food in a leaky container. That is why, when making reference to such a person, people say to him, “You have carried it in a leaky container.”

This proverb teaches people how to stop wasting their time doing useless work. Therefore in order to succeed, they need to scrutinise what they are doing so that they can choose and implement those activities that can benefit them for the development of their families, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: UNACHEZA KWA MATUMAINI KAMA UMEKAONA HUTAKAACHA.

Methali hiyo, huangalia lengo la mtu anayecheza ngoma. Lengo hilo, humpatia matumaini ya kukipata kile anachokitaka, katika utendaji wake wa kazi. Alikuwepo mtu mmoja ambaye alikuwa anacheza ngoma kwa lengo la kumpata mwenzake wa kuoana naye.

Mtu huyo, alijibidisha kucheza ngoma hiyo, mpaka mwishowe akafanikiwa kumpata mwenzi huyo wa maisha, wakaoana, ndipo alipoacha kucheza ngoma hizo. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “unacheza kwa matumaini kama umekaona hutakaacha.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi zake kwa matumaini makubwa ya kupata mafanikio mengi, katika utendaji wake. Mtu huyo, hujibidisha kuzitelekeza vizuri kazi zake hizo, na kwa bidii kubwa kwa sababu anayo matumaini makubwa ya kufanikiwa.

Yeye huwafundisha pia wenzake njia za kujibidisha katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, wakiwa na matumaini ya kufanikiwa zaidi. Kupitia njia hizo, yeye pia hupata mafanikio mengi katika maisha yake, yatokanayo na kuwa na matumaini makubwa ambayo humpatia nguvu za kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yakwe.

Je, hamjui kwamba katika mashindano ya mbio wote wanaoshindana hukimbia, lakini ni mmoja wao tu apewaye tuzo? Kwa hiyo kimbieni katika mashindano kwa jinsi ambavyo mtapata tuzo. Kila mmoja anayeshiriki katika mashindano hufanya mazoezi makali. Wao hufanya hivyo ili wapokee taji isiyodumu, lakini sisi tunafanya hivyo ili kupata taji idumuyo milele. Kwa hiyo mimi sikimbii kama mtu akimbiaye bila lengo, sipigani kama mtu anayepiga hewa, la, bali nautesa mwili wangu na kuutumikisha ili nikishawahubiria wengine, mimi nisiwe mtu wa kukataliwa.”

ENGLISH: YOU DANCE WITH A GOAL TO ACHIEVE.

This proverb focuses on the goal of the dancer. The goal that gives him some hope of achieving what he wants, in his career. There was one man who was dancing with the intention of finding a mate to marry him.

He danced until he finally managed to find the life partner. They got married, and then he stopped dancing. Of such a person, people woud “You dance with a goal to achieve, unless you realise it, you will not stop.”

That’s why, when people people make reference to people like that they would say, “You dance with a goal to achieve, unless you realise it, you will not stop.”
