KISWAHILI: MIMI N DREVA WA GARI.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa na kazi ya kuendesha gari. Mtu huyo aliiendedesha gari hiyo vizuri sana kwa sababu ya kuielewa vizuri kazi hiyo. Yeye alifanya kazi hiyo kwa muda wa miaka mingi sana kwa sababu aliipenda sana kazi hiyo, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana aliwaambia watu kwamba, “mimi ni dreva wa gari.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mwanamke yule ambaye huiongeza vyema familia yake katika maisha yake. Mwanamke huyo, huwapikia chakula vizuri watu walioko kwenye familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo, maishani mwake. Yeye huwalea vyema watu wa kwenye familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo wa kuwapikia watu wake chakula vizuri, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeendesha gari vizuri, kwa sababu naye huwaongoza watu wanaoishi kwenye familia yake vizuri, katika maisha yake hayo. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “mimi ni dreva wa gari.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uelewa wa kuzitunza vyema familia zao kwa kuwaongoza watu wao vizuri, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao hizo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I AM A CAR DRIVER.

There was a man who had a job working as a driver. He drove the car very well because he understood such work well. He did that job for several years because he liked it so much in his life. That is why he told people that, “I am a car driver.”

This saying is matched to a woman who adds well to her family in her life. This woman cooks decent food for societal members in her family because of her attention in her life. She rears individuals in her family well because of her responsiveness to the cooking of decent food for her persons in her life.

This woman is like the one who drove the car well, because she also leads the public by living peacefully in her family, in his life. That is why she says that, “I am a car driver.”

This saying teaches folks about having decent understanding enough to take good care of their families by leading their people well, so that they can nurture their families well in their lives.

KISWAHILI: NICHANJE HARAKA HARAKA.

Msemo huo huongelea mtu aliyeumwa na mdudu kama Nje, Nyoka na wengine wengi walio na sumu. Mtu akiumwa na wadudu kama hao huchanjwa chale ili kuweza kutoa sumu ya mdudu huyo, kwa sababu inaweza kuhatarisha maisha ya mtu huo isipotolewa mapema. Ndiyo maana mtu huyo aliyeumwa na yule mdudu alisema kwamba, “nichanje haraka haraka.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huenda kutibiwa hositalini haraka akiumwa, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huujali vizuri mwili wake kwa kuwahi kwenda hositalini kila anapougua, kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo wa kuujali mwili wake huo, maishani mwake. Yeye huwasaidia kupona haraka watu wanaoishi kwenye familia yake kwa kuwahisha kwenda kutibiwa hosipitalini wanapougua kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeumwa na mdudu akawahi kuchanjwa mpaka akapona haraka, kwa sababu naye huwahi kwenda kutibiwa hosipitalini akiumwa, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “nichanje haraka haraka.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuwahi kwenda kutibiwa hospitalini kila wanapoumwa ili waweze kupona haraka, maishani mwao

ENGLISH: QUICKLY CUT ME.

This saying refers to a person who has been bitten by an insect such as a snake, and several others which are poisonous. When a person is bitten by such insects, they are vaccinated to be able to remove the poison from such person, because it can endanger the life of that person if it is not removed early. That is why the person who was bitten by the insect said that, “quickly cut me.”

This saying is paralleled to somebody who goes to the hospital quickly after getting sick in his life. This person takes good care of his body by going to the hospital every time when he gets sick, because of his thoughtfulness of caring for his body in his life. He supports individuals who live in his family to recover quickly by sending them to the hospital when they get sick because of his responsiveness in his life.

This person is comparable to the one who was vaccinated until he recovered quickly after being bitten by an insect, because he also goes to the hospital when he gets sick in his life. That is why he says, “Quickly cut me.”

This saying imparts in persons a clue of being so cautious enough to go to the hospital whenever they are sick so that they can recover quickly in their lives

KISWAHILI: GHASIZA ZA PUNDA.

Hapo zamani alikuwepo mtu aliyefuga punda kwenye familia yake. Punda hao walikuwa wakitembea hovyo bila kutulia nyumbani kwa sababu ya kutokupumzika kula. Wenyewe walikuwa wakiwapigia kelele kila wakati kwa sababu ya kutokupumzika kula. Ndiyo maana watu waliwapa jina la “ghasia za punda.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwa hatalii kwenye familia yake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa anazurura kwa kutembelea nyumba za watu akitafuta chakula bila kufanya kazi katika familia yake hiyo, maishani mwake. Yeye hushindwa kuilea vyema familia yake kwa sababu ya kutumia hovyo muda katika kutembelea watu wengine, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale punda waliokuwa wakitembea hovyo bila ya kutulia nyumbani, kwa sababu naye hupoteza muda wake kwa kuwatembelea wenzake bila ya kufanya kazi nyumbani. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jila la “ghasia za punda.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kutulia kwenye familia zao bila ya kupoteza muda wao kwa kuwatembelea watu hovyo, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao hizo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: DONKEY RUDE.

Once upon a time, there was a man who kept donkeys in his family. These donkeys used to wander around without resting at home because they did not stop eating. They themselves used to shout at them all the time because of using all time for eating. That is why populaces called them “donkey rude.”

This saying is equated to a person who does not stay well with his family in his life. This person always wanders around visiting people’s houses looking for food to eat without working in his family. He fails to nurture his family well because he spends his time by visiting other folks, in his life.

This person resembles those donkeys who wandered around without resting at home, because he also wastes his time by visiting his colleagues without working at his home. That is why individuals call him the “donkey rude.”

This saying teaches people about settling down in their families without wasting their time by visiting public, so that they can rear their family members well in their lives.

KISWAHILI: NIKO MLIMANI JUU.

Walikuwepo watu waliokuwa wakipanda mlima uliokuwa mrefu sana. Watu hao walijibidisha wote katika kuupanda mlima huo kwa sababu kila mmoja wao alitaka kuwa wa kwanza kufika juu ya mlima huo. Ndiyo maana mmoja wao alipofisha kule juu aliwaambia wenzake kwamba, “niko mlimani juu.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwaongoza wenzake vizuri, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwaongoza watu kwa kujibidisha kufanya kazi vizuri na kuwasaidia watu wanaosumbuliwa na matatizo mbalimbali, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo maishani mwake. Yeye huishi na watu wengi katika familia yake kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo katika uongozi wake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule aliyewatangulia wenzake kufika juu ya ule mlima, kwa sababu naye huwaongoza watu wake katika kufanya kazi vizuri na kutenda mema, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “niko mlimani juu.”

Msemo huo huwafundisha viongozi wa watu juu ya kuwa na uaminifu wa kuongoza watu wao katika kufanya kazi zao vizuri na kutenda mema, ili waweze kuishi kwa kufuraha kubwa, katika familia zao.

ENGLISH: I AM ON THE MOUNTAIN.

There were individuals who were climbing a very high mountain. They all worked hard to climb it because each of them wanted to be the first to reach on its peak. That is why when one of them reached it, he told his friends that, “I am on the mountain.”

This saying is matched to an individual who leads his friends well in his life. This man leads general public by working hard enough to support his people who are suffering from various hitches, because of his honesty in life. He lives with various persons in his family because of his honesty in his leadership.

This person is like the one who preceded his friends to reach the top of the mountain, because he also leads his individuals in working well by doing respectable deeds in his life. That is why he says, “I am on the mountain.”

This saying instills in public’s leaders a clue on being honest in leading their societies by doing their jobs well and good, so that they can live with great joy in their families.

ENGLISH: I HAVE CLEARED.

This person strives to do his works well until he finishes them within a required time without delaying, because of his thoughtfulness in life. He earns a lot of wealth in his family because of his responsiveness in working hard until he finishes his works well in his life.
