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.

Colossians 3:18.

Imbuki ya kahayile kenako ihoyile nkila go mbuli. Imbuli guli ntugo uyo guli na kandila kadoo ukunuma. Giko lulu uluyusinzwa abhanhu b’agikalaga bhadatogilwe ugulya ungila gunuyo kunguno guli gudoo na hangi gudina na nama.

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.

Psalm 82:3.

Imbuki ya kahayile kenako ihoyelile bhanhu abho bhagasiminza lugendo mpaga gunoga amagulu gabho. Abhanhu bhenabho bhali nalugengo lulihu gete ulogusimzina mpaga bhunoga shiniko alugushiga ndubu kunguno ya bhulihu bho lugendo lunulo. Hunagwene bhagayiwila giki, “ilelo ib’inza malundi.”

Akahayile kenako kagalenganijiyagwa kubhazunya abho bhagiyumilijaga gusiminza lugendo lulihu ulo guja ng’wigulu, umukakile kabho. Abhazunya bhenabho bhagiyumilijaga gusiminza lugendo lulihu ulo guja ng’wigulu bho gugikalana chiza amalagilo ga ng’wa Sebha, kunguno ya bhutungulija bhobho bhunubho, umuwikaji bhobho. Abhoyi bhagasiminzaga na bhuyeji umulugendo lobho lunulo kunguno ya gwikala kimoja na Yesu bho gugikalana chiza amalagilo gakwe, umukikalile kabho kenako.

Abhazunya bhenabho bhagikolaga nabho bhagasiminza lugendo lulihu bho gwiyumilija mpaka bhunoga, kunguno nabhoyi bhagiyumilijaga gusiminza lugendo lulihu lo guja ng’wigulu Kihamo na Yesu, umuwikaji bhobho. Hunagwene bhagayombaga giki, “ilelo ib’inza malundi.”

Akahayile kenako kalanga bhazunya higulya ya gubhiza na wiyumilija bho gusiminza kimoja na Yesu bho gugikalana chiza amalagilo ga ng’wa Sebha, kugiki bhadule gushiga ng’wigulu.

KISWAHILI: LEO IVUNJA MIGUU.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea watu waliokuwa waliotembea safarini mpaka miguu yao ikachoka. Watu hao walikuwa na safari ya mwendo mlefu wa kutembea mpaka wakachoka hivyo bila ya kufika kwa sababu ya urefu wa safari hiyo. Ndiyo maana walisema kwamba, “leo ivunja miguu.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa waumini wale ambao huvumilia kutembea safari ya kwenda mbinguni, katika maisha yao. Waumini hao, huvumilia kusafiri mwendo mrefu wa kwenda mbinguni kwa kuyaishi maagizo ya Bwana, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wao huo, maishani mwao. Wao hutembea kwa furaha katika safari yao hiyo hiyo kwa sababu ya kuishi pamoja na Yesu kwa kuyaishi vizuri maagizo yake, katika maisha yao.

Waumini hao hufanana na wale waliotembea safari ndefu kwa kuvumilia mpaka wakachoka, kwa sababu nao huvumilia kutembea safari ndefu ya kwenda mbinguni pamoja na Yesu, maishani mwao. Ndiyo maana wao husema kwamba, “leo ivunja miguu.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha waumini juu ya kuwa na uvumilivu kwa kutembea pamoja na Yesu kwa kuyaishi vizuri maagizo yake, ili waweze kufika mbinguni.

1 Wafalme 19:7.

ENGLISH: TODAY IS BREAKING LEGS.

The origin of this saying refers to people who walked on a journey until their legs got tired. These people had a long trip to walk until they got tired without arriving. That is why they said that, “today is breaking legs.”

The saying is paralleled to believers who endure their journey to heaven, in their lives. These believers endure long trip to heaven by living the Lord’s instructions, because of their faithfulness, in their lives. They walk happily on their same journey because of living with Jesus by putting into practice his instructions, in their lives.

These believers are like those who walked a long trip by enduring until they got tired, because they also endure long trip to heaven with Jesus, in their lives. That is why they say that, “today is breaking legs.”

This saying imparts in believers an idea of being patient in walking with Jesus by living his instructions, so that they can reach heaven.
