ENGLISH: THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF ASHES IN OUR HOUSE.

Ash is something that represents works of fire. These works include cooking food for people who take wood that is burned by fire until it remains as ashes when cooking the food.

Therefore, the family that does not lack ash belongs to those people who cook food for their people every day. That is why the people of that family say that, “There is no shortage of ashes in our house.”

This proverb is equated to a family of generous people in their lives. These people of that family take care of their people by cooking for them decent food every day, because of their generosity in their lives. They receive blessings of living with great happiness in their family because of their generosity of cooking respectable food for their people, in their lives.

These people are similar to those who cooked food for people every day, because they also take care of their people by cooking decent food for them every day, in their lives. That is why their people say, “There is no shortage of ashes in our house.”

KISWAHILI: AMUKENI HARAKA MTATOZWA FAINI.

Hapo zamani walikuwepo watu waliokuwa wakifanya kazi kwenye kijiji cha Busiya. Watu hao walikuwa wamekatazwa kukaa wakati wa kufanya kazi hiyo, kwa sababu walitakiwa kuimaliza mapema kazi hiyo. Mtu aliyeonekana amekaa kabla ya kuimaliza kazi hiyo, alitozwa faini. Ndiyo maana wafanyakazi hao walikuwa wakihimizana kuendelea kuitekeleza kazi hiyo kwa kusema kwamba, “amukeni haraka mtatozwa faini.”

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hukwepa kufanya kazi kwenye kijiji chake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa anakwepa kwenda kwenye matukio mbalimbali yakiwemo yale ya kuzika wafu au kuwasaidia watu waliokumbwa na matatizo kwenye kijiji chake, kwa sababu ya kutokujali kwake, maishani mwake. Yeye hukumbwa na matatizo ya kutengwa na wanakijiji hao mara kwa mara kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya utoro wake huo wa kuacha kujiunga na wenzake katika kutatua matatizo ya kijijini mwake wakiwa pamoja na wanzake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale waliokuwa wakitegea kufanya kazi kwa kukaa kabla ya kumaliza kazi yao, kwa sababu naye hukwepa kuhudhulia matukio ya wanakijiji wenzake katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “amukeni haraka mtatozwa faini.”

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha ukwepaji wa kwenda kufanya kazi za vijijini mwao, ili waweze kushirikiana vizuri katika kufanya kazi za kuwapatia mafanikio mengi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: WAKE UP QUICKLY OR YOU WILL BE FINED.

In the past, there were people working in the village of Busiya. These people were forbidden to sit while doing the work, because they were required to finish the work early. Anyone who was seen sitting before finishing the work was fined. That is why the workers used to encourage each other to continue doing the work by saying, “Wake up quickly or you will be fined.”

This proverb is compared to a person who avoids working in his village in his life. That person avoids going to various events including those to bury the dead or help people who have problems in his village, because of his carelessness, in his life. He suffers from the problems of being separated from the villagers from time to time in his family, because of his absence of joining his colleagues in solving the problems of his village while being with his colleagues, in his life.

This person is like those who used to stay up late to work because they avoid attending to the events of their fellow villagers in their lives. That is why people tell them, “wake up quickly, you will be fined.”

This proverb teaches people to stop avoiding going to work in their villages, so that they can cooperate well in doing the work that will bring them much success in their lives.
