KISWAHILI: HATA UKISHIKA UTATELEZA.

Methali hiyo, humuongelea mtu aliyekuwa ameshikilia kwenye mti akateleza na kuanguka chini. Mtu huyo, alipanda kwenye mti wa miembe ili achume maembe ya kula. Kwa bahati mbaya aliteleza akaanguka chini, pamoja na kwamba alikuwa ameshikilia vizuri. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “hata ukishika utateleza.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hukosea kwa kusababishwa na wenzake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, ni mwanamifu ambaye hukosea kwa kusababishwa na wenzake wenye mtendo maovu kwa sababu ya kutembea nao, katika kazi zake. Yeye hupata matatizo ya kusababishwa na wenzake hao wenye matendo maovu, kwa sababu ya kufanya kazi pamoja nao, katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyekuwa ameshika kwenye mti akateleza na kuanguka chini, kwa sababu naye ni mwaminifu, ambaye hukosea kwa kusababishwa na wenzake ambao wana matendo maovu, katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “hata ukishika utateleza.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kujilinda na watu wanaofanya kazi pamoja nao, ili wasikoseswe na wao, katika maisha yao hao ya uaminifu.

ENGLISH: EVEN IF YOU HOLD ON YOU WILL SLIP.

The overhead proverb speaks of a man who was holding on to a tree who slipped and fell down. This man climbed a mango tree in order to pick mangoes to eat. Unfortunately he slipped and fell to the ground, even though he was holding on well. That is why he said that, “even if you hold on, you will slip.”

This proverb is equated to a person who makes a mistake because of his nobles, in his life. Such person is a miscreant who errs because of his colleagues who do evil because of being with them, in his work. He gets problems which are caused by those colleagues who have evil deeds, because of working with them, in carrying out of his duties.

This person is similar to the one who was holding on to a tree who slipped and fell down, because he is also honest, who errs because of his colleagues who have wicked deeds, in the enactment of his duties. That is why he says that, “even if you hold on, you will slip.”

This proverb teaches people on how to be careful enough to protect themselves and the people who work with them, so that they are not wronged by them, in their honest lives.

KISWAHILI: NYONGO IMEIVA.

Methali hiyo, huongelea juu ya nyongo iliyoiva. Nyongo hiyo, hupatikana tumboni mwa mifugo ambayo hufanya nyama iwe chungu endapo itapasukia ndani wakati wa kumchuna huyo mnyama. Yenyewe huiharibu hivyo hiyo nyama yote, asipokuwa na uangalifu mchunaji wa mnyama huyo. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “nyongo imeiva.”

Methali hiyo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hukasirika upesi mpaka kufikia hatua ya kukataa kuamriwa hata anapokesowa kwa jambo dogo tu, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hukasirishwa haraka na hata kwa jambo dogo tu, na kukataa kuamriwa kwa sababu ya hasira yake hiyo. Yeye huwahangaisha watu wa kwenye familia yake hiyo, kwa sababu ya ukali wake huo wa kukataa kuamriwa na wenzake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na ile nyongo ambayo huguswa kidogo na kupasuka mpaka inaiharibu nyama yote, kwa sababu naye hukasirishwa hata na jambo dogo tu, na kukataa kuamriwa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “nyongo imeiva.”

Methali hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha hasira ya kukasirika upesi kwa sababu ya jambo dogo tu na kukataa kuamriwa, ili waweze kuzilea vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THE GALL IS RIPE.

This proverb speaks of a ripen gall. The gall is found in a stomach of livestock, which makes the meat bitter if it bursts inside while slaughtering the animal. It itself destroys all the meat, if the slaughterer of such animal is not so careful. That is why people say that, “the gall is ripe.”

This proverb is compared to the person who gets angry quickly to the point of refusing to be ordered even when he is wronged in a small thing, in his life. Such person, gets angry quickly and even in a small thing that he refuses to be ordered because of his anger. He worries the people in his family, because of his harshness in refusing to be ordered by his colleagues, in his life.

This person is like the gall that is touched a little and bursts until it destroys all the meat, because he also gets angry even in a small thing to the point of refusing to be ordered, in his life. That is why people speak about him that, “the gall is ripe.”

This proverb teaches people about stopping getting angry quickly because of a small thing to the point of refusing to be ordered by others, so that they can raise their families well, in their lives.
