KISWAHILI: ALISHINDIA KIWILIWILI CHA MWISHONI KABISA.

 Chanzo cha msemo huo, huangalia ushindiaji wa kiwiliwili wa mtu fulani. Mtu huyo, aliwakuta wenzake wakimalizia kula chakula kikiwa kimebakia kidoto tu.

Chakula hicho kidogo, hulinganishwa na kiwiliwili cha panzi ambacho kiko sehemu ya mwisho wa mwili wa panzi huyo. Yeye alikomea kula kiwiliwili hicho tu akalala. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “ameshindia kiwiliwili cha mwishoni kabisa.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huchelewa kufika kwenye kazi zake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huenda kwenye kazi zake hizo kwa kuchelewa kila siku kwa sababu ya uvivu wake huo. Yeye hushindwa kupata chakula kingi kila mwaka kwa sababu ya kuchelewa kulima kwake huko kwenye familia yake hiyo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyewakuta wenzake wakila akakomea kula kiwiliwili tu, kwa sababu naye huchelewa kwenda kwenye kazi zake mpaka mwishowe anashindwa kupata chakula cha kutosha kila mwaka. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “ameshindia kiwiliwili cha mwishoni kabisa.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwahi kwenda kuyatekeleza majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi katika kazi zao hizo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: HE TRULY SPENT THE WHOLE DAY AFTER EATING JUST A LAST BODY PART.

 This saying looks at spending day of a certain person who ate a small portion of food. Such man found his colleagues finishing eating who only ate a small left portion.

This little portion of food is equated to a body of a grasshopper which is at an end of its body. He only ate that body and fell asleep. That is why people said that, “he truly spent the whole day after eating just a last body part.”

This saying is related to a person who is always late to his works in his life. Such person goes to his work late every day because of his laziness. He fails to get much food every year because of such delay in his family farming.

This person is like the one who found his colleagues finished eating food who ate only the small last body part, because he is also late to his works until finally he fails to get enough food every year. That is why people tell him that, “he truly spent the whole day after eating just a last body part.”

This saying teaches people about ever going to carry out their duties on time, so that they can get a lot of success in their works, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: KAMERINGA KAMA KWELI MNO.

Hapo zamani alikuwepo mtu aliyeishi katika kijiji cha Ng’watuju. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akitembea akiwa ameangalia juu bila kuwasalimia watu aliokutana nao njiani, kwa sababu ya kutaka kuwahi kufika katika safari yake. Ndiyo maana watu waliongea juu yake kwamba, “kameringa kama kweli mno.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwa haongei vizuri na wenzake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujali shughuli zake kwa kuacha kuongea na watu anaoishi nao, kwa sababu ya majivuno yake hayo, maishani mwake. Yeye hukosa watu wa kumsaidia anapopata matatizo katika familia yake kwa sababu ya kuacha kuongea na wenzake hivyo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyetembea akiwa ameangalia juu bila kuwasalimia wenzake, kwa sababu naye hujali shughuli zake tu bila kuongea na wenzake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuongelea kwamba, “kameringa kama kweli mno.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha kuwadharau watu wao kwa kuongea nao vizuri katika maisha yao, ili waweze kusaidiana vizuri, katika kuzilea familia zao.

ENGLISH: ONE IS PROUD AS IF IT IS TOO TRUE.

Once upon a time there was a man who lived in the village of Ng’watuju. Such man used to walk looking upwards without greeting the people whom he met on the way, because he wanted to arrive on time in his journey. That is why people said about him that, “one is proud as if it is too true.”

This saying is related to a person who does not talk well with his colleagues in his life. That person cares about his activities enough to stop talking to people whom he lives with, because of his pride, in his life. He lacks people to help him when he has problems in his family because he stops talking to his colleagues like that, in his life.

This person is similar to the one who walked looking upwards without greeting his colleagues, because he also only cares about his activities without talking to his colleagues, in his life. That is why people talk about him saying, “one is proud as if it is too true.”

This saying teaches people about stopping belittling their people by talking to them well in their lives, so that they can help each other well, in raising their families.

Waebrania 12:14.

KISWAHILI: HIKI NI KIPANDE.

Kipande ni sehemu ndogo ambayo mtu huifanyia kazi ili aweze kumaliza hicho na kuchukua kingine ndani ya shamba kubwa. Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa akipalilia palizi kwenye shamba kubwa kwa kukata kipande kidogo kidogo anakimaliza na kuanza kingine mpaka mwishowe akalimaliza kulipalilia shamba lote. Ndiyo maana watu walisema juu ya hicho kisehemu kuwa “hiki ni kipande.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi kubwa kwa kutumia ubunifu na uvumilivu wake mpaka mwishowe anaimaliza vizuri, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huamka asubuhi na kuanza kuyatekeleza majukumu yake hayo makubwa kwa kukata kidogo kidogo mpaka anayamaliza vizuri kwa sababu ya kuutumila vizuri ubunifu na uvumilivu wake, maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mali nyingi sana katika familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya kuutumia vizuri huo ubunifu na uvumilivu wake, katika kufanya kazi kubwa mpaka anazimaliza vizuri, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyepalilia shamba kubwa kwa kukata kipande kidogo kidogo mpaka akalimaliza shamba lote, kwa sababu naye hufanya kazi kubwa kwa kutumia ubunifu na uvumilivu wake, mpaka anazimaliza vizuri, katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yake hayo. Ndiyo maana yeye huwaambia watu kwamba, “hiki ni kipande.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kufanya kazi kubwa kwa kutumila ubunifu na uvumilivu wao vizuri mpaka wanazimaliza, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi katika familia zao.

ENGLISH: THIS IS A PIECE.

A piece is a small part that a person works on so that he can finish it and take another part in a large field. There was a man who was weeding a large field by cutting a small piece and finishing it and starting another one until he finally finished weeding the whole field. That is why people said about that part that “this is a piece.”

This saying is equaled to a person who does a great job by using his creativity and patience until he finally finishes it well, in his life. Such person wakes up in the morning and begins to carry out his big tasks by cutting little by little until he finishes them well because of using his creativity and patience in his life. He gets a lot of wealth in his family because of using well his creativity and patience, in doing great works until he finishes them well, in his life.

This person is similar to the one who weeded a large field by cutting a small piece until he finished the whole field, because he also does a great job by using his creativity and patience, until he finishes them well in implementing his duties. That is why he tells people that, “this is a piece.”

This saying teaches people about doing great works by instilling their creativity and patience well until they finish them, so that they can get a lot of success in their families.

KISWAHILI: HUU NI UGONJWA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea juu ya mtu aliyekuwa na ugonjwa kwa muda mrefu. Ugonjwa huo ulikuwa ukimhangaisha kila wakati kwa sababu ya kutokupona kwake haraka. Ndiyo maana watu waliutambua kwa kusema kwamba “huu ni ugonjwa.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hutenda matendo maovu katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hutendo matendo hayo maovu kwa makusudi na kukataa ushauri wa kuyaacha kwa sababu ya tabia yake hiyo mbaya, maishani mwake. Yeye huwafundisha watu walioko kwenye familia yake kutenda matendo maovu kwa njia ya matendo yake, kwa sababu ya tabia hiyo ya kuzoea kutenda maovu, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyesumbuliwa na ugonjwa mara kwa mara, kwa sababu naye hutenda matendo maovu mara kwa mara, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu huitaja tabia yake hiyo kwa kusema kwamba, “huu ni ugonjwa.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya kutenda matendo maovu kwa kutenda matendo mema kila wakati, ili waweze kuzilea vyema, familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THIS IS A DISEASE.

The cradle of the overhead saying talks about a person who had been sick for a long time. This disease was always worrying him because of its slow recovery. That is why people recognized it by saying that “this is a disease.”

This saying is equated to a person who commits evil deeds in his life. Such person does those evil deeds on purpose and refuses an advice of stopping them because of his wicked behavior, in his life. He teaches people in his family to do evil deeds through his actions, because of that habit of doing evil, in his life.

This person relates to the one who suffered from a disease for long time, because he also commits immoral deeds from time to time in his life. That is why people refer to his behavior by saying, that “this is a disease.”

This saying imparts in people an idea about giving up a habit of doing wicked deeds by always doing good deeds, so that they can raise their families well in their lives.
