KISWAHILI: NACHAMBUA TU.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa akipalilia palizi ya mahindi. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akipalilia palizi hiyo kwa umakini mkubwa sana kwa sababu yalikuwa hayajakua vizuri mahindi hayo. Ndiyo maana walipomuuliza watu waliopita pale alichokuwa akikifanya, alisema kwamba, “nachambua tu.”

Msema huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwahi kwenda kufanya kazi zake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huamka asubuhi na kwenda kufanya kazi kwa mguvu mpaga anaimaliza vizuri kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo wa kujibidisha kufanya kazi zake maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mali nyingi za kumsaidia vizuri katika familia yake hiyo, kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyepalilia shamba la mahindi madogo kwa umakini mkubwa mpaka akaimaliza vizuri, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana huwaambia watu kwamba, “nachambua tu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuwahi kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mali za kutumia vizuri katika familia zao hizo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I AM JUST ANALYZING.

There was a man who was weeding corn field. Such man was weeding the corn field very carefully because such corn had not grown well. That is why when people who passed by asked him what he was doing, he said, “I am just analyzing.”

This saying is equated to a person who always goes to do his work in his life. Such person wakes up in the morning and goes to work with great energy and finishes it well because of his attention to doing his work in his life. He earns a lot of wealth enough to help him well in his family, because of his attention, in his life.

This person resembles the one who weeded a small corn field with great attention until he finished it well, in his life. That is why he tells people that, “I am just analyzing.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of being attentive enough to always carrying out their duties well, so that they can earn decent wealth for using well in their family lives.

KISWAHILI: UGAAGAAJI WA KUKU.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huangalia ugaagaaji wa kuku. Kuku akitaka kuoga hujigalagaza kwenye mchanga au kwenye majivu tu anamaliza kuoga kwa sababu ya kutokujijali kwakwe. Ndiyo maana watu huuita uogaji wake huo kuwa ni “ugaagaaji wa kuku.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu mchafu anayeoga kwa kujimwagia maji tu anamaliza, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huishi na uchafu mwingi mwilini mwake ambao huwa hausafishi vizuri katika uogaji wake huo wa kujimwagia maji mwilini tu anamaliza, kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kujijali vizuri maishani mwake. Yeye husumbuliwa na magonjwa yatokanayo na uchafu kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya kutosa umakini huo wa kuoga vizuri katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule kuku anayeoga kwa kujigalagaza tu kwenye mchanga anamaliza, kwa sababu naye hujimwagia maji tu mwilini mwake anamaliza kuoga, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuitaji kwamba ni “ugaagaaji wa kuku.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na kumakini wa kuoga kwa kujijali vizuri mpaka wanakuwa safi, ili waweze kujikinga na magonjwa yatokanayo na uchafu, katika familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: CHICKEN’S PLAYING WITH DUST.

The origin of the over head saying looks at the debauchery of chickens. When chicken want to bathe, only debaucheries in the sand or ashes and finish bathing because of lack of self-care. That is why people call such debauchery as “Chicken’s playing with dust.”

This saying is equaled to a dirty person who bathes by pouring water on him/herself and finishes. This person lives with a lot of dirt in his body that does not clean properly in his bath of pouring water on himself because of a lack of attention to taking respectable care of himself in his life. He is troubled by diseases which are caused by dirt in his family because of such lack of responsiveness to bathing properly in his life.

This person is like the hens which bathed by pouring water only by water without nicely cleaning, because he also pours water on his body and finishes bathing, in his life. That is why people call him as “Chicken’s playing with dust.”

This proverb teaches people about being careful enough to bathe and take respectable care of themselves until they are clean, so that they can protect themselves from diseases which are caused by dirt, in their family lives.

KISWAHILI: UDELELE WA FISI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea fisi. Fisi huyo ni mnyama mlafi wa kula nyama kwa sababu humwaga udelele anapoiona nyama hizo. Yeye hutembea sehemu mbali mbali akitafuta nyama kwa sababu ya ulafi wake huo. Ndiyo maana watu humwita jina la “udelele wa fisi.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni mlafi wa kula nyama katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo hutafuta nyama kwenye familia za watu walioipika nyama hiyo kwa sababu ya ulafi wake huo maishani mwake. Yeye hushindwa kuiendeleza vizuri familia yake kwa sababu ya ulafi wake huo wa kutumia muda wake kwa kutafuta nyama kwenye familia za watu wanaoipika, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule fisi anayetafuta nyama za kula kwa kutembea sehemu mbalimbali, kwa sababu naye hutafuta nyama kwenye familia za watu mpaka anashindwa kuiendeleza vizuri familia yake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jina la “udelele wa fisi.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha ulafi wa chakula kwa kujibidisha kufanya kazi zao vizuri ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi kwenye familia zao, maishani mwake.

ENGLISH: HYENAS’ SALIVATING.

The source of this saying is about hyenas. Hyenas are voracious carnivores because they salivate when they see meat. They travel to different places looking for meat because of their greediness. That is why people call them as “Hyenas’ salivating.”

This saying is equaled to a person who is a voracious in his life. This person looks for meat in families of people who cook it because of his gluttony in his life. He fails to properly support his family because of his voraciousness in spending his time looking for meat in the families of people who cook it, in his life.

This person resembles the hyena which looks for meat to eat by walking to different places, because he also looks for meat in people’s families until he fails to properly support his family, in his life. That is why people call him as “Hyenas’ salivating.”

This saying teaches people about stopping gluttony by working hard enough to nicely do their jobs so that they can achieve great success in their family lives.

Zaburi 82:3.

KISWASHILI: UKO NYUMA KAMA MKIA WA MBUZI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea mkia wa mbuzi. Mbuzi ni mfugo ambayo huna ka mkia kadogo nyuma. Hivyo basi mbuzi huyo akichinjwa watu huwa hawapendi kula mkia huo kwa sababu ni mdogo na hauna nyama. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia mtu asiye na faida kwamba, “uko nyuma kama mkia wa mbuzi.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwacheka watu wasio na mali katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwadharau watu maskini kwa kuwacheka kwa sababu ya majivuno yakwe hayo maishani mwake. Yeye hukosa baraka za kuishi kwa furaha katika familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya majivuno yake hayo ya kuwacheka watu maskini, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo hufanana na wale waliomcheka yule ambaye walimuona hana faida kwao, kwa sababu naye huwacheka watu maskini mpaka anakosa baraka za kuishi kwa furaha katika familia yake hiyo, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana yeye humwambia mtu maskini kwamba, “uko nyuma kama mkia wa mbuzi.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya kuwacheka watu maskini kwa kuwasaidia vizuri, ili waweze kupata baraka za kuishi kwa furaha katika familia zao hizo, maishani mwao.

Luka 16:19 – 28.

Zaburi 82:3.

ENGLISH: YOU ARE BACK LIKE GOAT’S TAIL.

An origin of this saying refers to a tail of a goat. A goat is an animal that has a small tail on the back. Therefore, when this animal is slaughtered, people do not like to eat such tail because it is small and has no meat. That is why people say to a person who is not profitable that, “you are back like goat’s tail.”

This saying is matched to a person who laughs at people who have no money in his life. Such person despises poor people by laughing at them because of his arrogance in his life. He misses sanctification of living happily in his family because of his egotism of laughing at poor people, in his life.

This person is like those who laughed at the one whom they saw as useless to them, because he also laughs at poor people to the point of missing approvals of living happily in his family life. That is why he says to a poor person that, “you are back like goat’s tail.”

This adage imparts in people an idea of stopping habit of laughing at the poor people by nicely helping them, so that they can receive sanctification of living happily in their family lives.
