KISWAHILI: KISWAHI FISI.

Kiwahi fiki ni pombe ambayo hutengenezwa wakati wa jioni kabla ya jua kuchwea. Pombe hiyo, huitwa hivyo kwa sababu watu huinywa mapema kabla fisi hawajaanza kutoka kwenda kujitafutia chakula. Yenyewe huwa ni kijulisho cha kuelewa kama pombe hiyo itaiva au hapana. Ndiyo maana watu huiita jina la “kiwahi fisi.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwahi kuzifanya kazi zake na kuziewa mapema kama zitaleta faida au hapana, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huamka asubuhi na kwenda kutekeleza vizuri kazi zake mpaka anazielewa kama zitamletea faida au la, kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo, maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mali nyingi kwenye familia yake kila mwaka kwa sababu ya umakini wake wa kuwahi kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake hizo, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo hufanana na ile pombe ya kutengenezwa na kutumiwa mapema kabla ya kuingia usiku, kwa sababu naye huwahi kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake mpaka anafanikiwa kupata mali nyingi katika familia yake, kila mwaka, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jila la “kiwahi fisi.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuwahi kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mali za kutosha kuwasaidia katika kuziendeleza vizuri, familia zao.

ENGLISH: WHAT HAS EVER BEEN EARLY HYENAS

This saying is about an alcohol which is made by people in the evening time before sunset. This alcohol is called ‘what has ever been early hyenas’ because people drink it early before hyenas start to go out looking for food. It is a sign which helps consumers to understand whether such liquor will be ripe or not. That is why people call it “what has ever been early hyenas.”

This saying is paralleled to a man who always does his work and thinks early whether it will bring profit or not, in his life. Such man wakes up in the morning and goes to carry out his works well until he understands whether they will bring profit or not, because of his thoughtfulness in his life. He earns a lot of wealth for his family every year because of his active responsiveness enough to always carry out his works well in his life.

This man is similar to the alcohol that is made and consumed early before nightfall, because he also always carries out his works well until he succeeds in obtaining a lot of wealth for his family every year in his life. That is why people call him the “what has ever been early hyenas.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of being so careful enough to fulfill their responsibilities well, so that they can earn a lot of wealth enough to support them in running their families.

Mtu huyo alijifunza tabia njema kwa kuishi na watu vizuri kwa sababu alifahamu kuwa, anaweza kupewa ufalme wakati wowote. Yeye alirithishwa ufalme huo baada ya kufariki mfalme huyo. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba ana, “ufalme wa kuzaliwa nao.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujifunza tabia njema ambayo yaweza kumsaidia katika kuwaongoza vizuri watu wake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huyaishi malezi mema ya wazazi wake kwa kuwasaidia watu anaoishi nao, kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo njema, maishani mwake. Yeye huwaongoza vizuri watu wa kijiji chake kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo njema, maishani mwake.

ENGLISH: KINGSHIP BY BIRTH.

The derivation of this saying is from a son of the king who inherited the kingdom after the king passed away. There was a man who was born into a royal family. Such man learned good manners by living well with people because he knew that he could inherit such kingdom at any time. He inherited the kingdom after passing away of the king. That is why people said that he had, “a kingship by birth.”

This saying is related to a person who learns good manners that can help him in leading his people in his life. Such person puts into place good upbringings of his parents by helping people whom he stay with, because of his good manners in his life. He soundly leads people in his village because of his good manners in his lifespan.

This person resembles the son of the king who learned good manners until he was given the kingdom when the king joined the ancestors, because he also puts into practice the good upbringings of his parents until he managed to healthily lead people of his village in his lifetime. That is why people tell him that he has, “a kingship by birth.”

This saying teaches people about being so careful enough to apply the good upbringings which they are taught by their elders, so that they can lead their people well in their service.

KISWAHILI: ALIPOSIKIA ALIPATA HASIRA KALI.

Hasira hali ni hali ya mtu kukasilika mpaga kupitiliza. Alikuwepo mtu aliyesikia neno fulani akakasilika mpaga akapitiliza hali iliyompelekea kutaka kupigana kwa sababu ya kuumizwa na neno hilo moyoni mwake. Yeye alikosa raha kwa sababu maneno huumiza zaidi kuliko yale ya kuona. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “aliposikia alipata hasira kali.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hana ukomavu wa kuyafanyia utafiti maneno ayasikiayo katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huumizwa na neno analolisikia bila hata kulifanyia utafiti wa kumsaidia kuelewa kama nila kweli au la uongo, kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kuyafikiria vizuri maneno hayo, akilini mwake. Yeye hushindwa kuilea vizuri familia yake kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini huo ya kuyafikiria vizuri maneno ayasikiayo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyekasilika mpaka akataka kupigana aliposikia neno fulani, kwa sababu naye hukosa raha anaposikia neno fulani bila hata kulifanyia utafiti wa kumsaidia kulielewa vizuri, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “aliposikia alipata hasira kali.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuyafanyia utafiti wa kutosha kuyaelewa maneno wayasikiayo, ili waweze kuyaelewa yale wawezayo kuwasaidia katika kuzilea vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: WHEN HE HEARD HE GOT STRONG ANGER.

An intense anger is a state of a person’s feeling of fury that goes beyond a point of resentment. There was a man who heard a certain word which caused him to feel a strong anger that led him to start fighting because his heart was by that word. He became unhappy in his life. That is why people said that, “when he heard he got strong anger.”

This saying is matched to a person who does not have maturity of researching words which he hears in his life. Such person is hurt by words which he hears without even researching them enough to help him understand whether they have truth or liars, because of not being attentive enough to think well about those words, in his mind. He fails to raise his family well because of not having such attention in his life.

This person is similar to the one who became angry to the point of starting to fight when he heard a certain word, because he also feels uncomfortable when he hears a certain word without even researching it enough to understand it well, in his life. That is why people say to him that, “When he heard he got strong anger.”

This saying imparts in people a clue of being careful to enough study words which they hear, so that they can help them in nurturing their families in their lives.

Wenyewe ukitupwa kwenye bwawa hukamata chochote kilichomo humo, kama vile kenge, nyoka na vingine vingi viishivyo majini. Vile vilivyokamatwa huweza kuukunja mtego huo.

Mtu huyo, huongea maneno yoyote yakiwemo yale ya uongo katika maongezi yake, kwa sababu anatabia mbaya katika maisha yake. Yeye huwagombanisha watu waiishio katika familia yake kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo mbaya ya kuongea maneno ya uongo maishani mwake.

That is why people call it, “the traps twister.”

This saying is matched to a person who twists any word, including dishonest ones in his communication. Such person speaks deceitful words, in his dialogue because of having wicked wont in his life.
