KISWAHILI: UKIONA MAZIWA YA MBUZI UTASEMA YA KONDOO, UKIONA YA KONDOO UTASEMA YA MBUZI.

Msemo huo huangalia maziwa. Maziwa ya mnyama yeyote huwa yamefanana kwa sababu yote ni meupe ambayo mtu hawezi kuutofautisha weupe wake. Kwa hiyo basi, maziwa ya mbuzi na yale ya kondoo hufanana kwa sababu yote ni meupe kwa vile ni ya wanyama. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “ukiona maziwa ya mbuzi utasema ya kondoo, ukiona ya kondoo y utasema ya mbuzi.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni mwenye moyo mwema ambao ni mweupe katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwapokea watu wa aina mbalimbali, wema na waovu kwa sababu ya wema wa moyo wake huo. Yeye huwaunganisha vizuri watu waliokosana kwa kuongea nao vizuri kwa sababu ya unyoofu wa moyo wake huo katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na maziwa meupe hayo kwa sababu naye ana moyo mwema unaomsaidia katika kuishi na watu vizuri. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “ukiona maziwa ya mbuzi utasema ya kondoo, ukiona ya kondoo utasema ya mbuzi.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na moyo mwema wa kuongea vizuri na wenzao maishani mwao, ili wawezi kuzilea vyema familia zao.

ENGLISH: IF YOU SEE GOAT’S MILK YOU WILL SAY SHEEP’S MILK, IF YOU SEE SHEEP’S MILK YOU WILL SAY GOAT’S.

This saying refers to some milk of animals.  The Milk of any animal is the same because they are all white that one cannot distinguish their whiteness from that of one animal to another. Therefore, goat’s milk and sheep’s milk are similar because they are all white because they belong to animals. That is why people say that, “if you see goat’s milk you will say sheep’s milk, if you see sheep’s milk you will say goat’s.”

This saying is related to a person who has a good heart who is white in his life. Such person receives different kinds of people, good and bad ones because of the goodness of his heart. He unites people who are at odds by talking to them well because of the sincerity of his heart in his life.

This person looks like such white milk because he also has a good heart that helps him to live well with people. That is why people say that, “if you see goat’s milk you will say sheep’s milk, if you see sheep’s milk you will say goat’s.”

This saying teaches people on how to have a good heart to speak well with their nobles in their lives, so that they can raise their families well.

KISWAHILI: MEZA MATE.

Alikuwepo mtu mmoja aliyetamani kula nyama ambayo hakuwa na uwezo wa kuipata. Mtu huyo, aliwaambia watu wengi juu ya tamaa yake hiyo ya kula nyama kwa sababu alifikiri kwamba wale wangeweza kumsaidia. Lakini watu hao, hawakumsaidia chochote. Ndiyo maana walimwambia kwamba, “meza mate.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hutegemea kupata kitu kile ambacho hana uwezo wa kukipata katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hushinda akiwa amekaa akisubiri kupewa na wenzake kitu kikiwemo chakula bila kufanya kazi, kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wake huo. Yeye husumbuliwa na tatizo la njaa katika familia yake kwa sababu ya kusubiri kupewa kitu na wenzake bila ya kufanya kazi, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyetamani kula nyama ile ambayo hakuwa na uwezo wa kuipata na bila kufanya kazi, kwa sababu naye husubiri kupewa kitu fulani na wenzake bila kufanya kazi katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba “meza mate.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuachana na tabia ya kuendelea kutamani kitu kile ambacho hawana uwezo wa kukipata, ili waweze kujibidisha kufanya kazi zao za kujipatia mahitaji yao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: SWALLOW SPIT.

There was a man who wanted to eat meat that he could not find. Such man told a good number of people about his desire to do so because he thought that they could help him. But those people did not help him. That is why they told him that, “swallow spit.”

This saying is compared to a person who depends on getting something that he is not able to get in his life. Such person spends his time by sitting and waiting for his colleagues to give him something, including food, without working, because of his lack of attention. He suffers from problem of hunger in his family because of waiting to be given something by his colleagues without working, in his life.

This person resembles the one who desired to eat some meat that he could not get without working, because he also waits to be given something by his colleagues without working in his life. That is why people tell him that “swallow spit.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of stopping habit of desiring something that they are not able to get without working for it, so that they can do their own works enough to get their basic needs, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: NIKO PABAYA SUBIRI NISIMAME PAZURI.

Msemo huo ulianzia kwa watu waliokuwa wakiongea kwa kutumia simu. Watu hao walibaini kwamba, hawaelewani vizuri katika maongezi yao hayo. Ndipo mmoja wao aliamua kutafuta sehemu nzuri ya kumwezesha kuelewana vizuri na mwenzake katika maongezi yao hao. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “niko pabaya subiri nisimame pazuri.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huongea vizuri na watu wake katika maisha yake.

Yeye hufahamiana na watu wengi ambao huwafundisha tabia njema za kuishi vizuri na wenzao, kwa sababu ya unyofu wake huo wa moyo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyetafuta sehemu nzuri ya kuongea vizuri na mwenzake, kwa sababu naye hutumia lugha na kauli nzuri ya kumwezesha kuelewana vizuri na wenzake, katika maongezi yake. Ndiyo maana husema kwamba, “niko pabaya subiri nisimame pazuri.”

KISWAHILI: NIMEZIDIWA NISAIDIENI.

Alikuwepo mtu mmoja aliyekuwa akivuka mto kwenye kijiji cha Mwatuma. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akifikiri kwamba angeweza kuuvuka mto huo kwa sababu ya utalaam wake wa kuogelea. Alishtukia ule mto ukaanza kumzidi nguvu mpata mwishowe alilazimika kuomba msaada kutoka kwa watu wengine kwa sababu ya yeye kuanza kuishiwa nguvu.  Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “nimezidiwa nisaidieni.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujidai kujua kila kitu kwa kuwadharau wenzake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujifikiria kwamba ana akili nyingi kuliko wenzake wote kwa sababu ya dharau yake hiyo kwa watu. Yeye hupata matatizo ya kuishiwa chakula kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya kuwadharau watu wale ambao wangemsaidia, katika maisha hake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyetaka kuvuka mto uliotaka kumpeleka mpata akasaidiwa na watu, kwa sababu naye huwadharau wenzake ambao wanaweza kumsaidia katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “nimezidiwa nisaidieni.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na heshima kwa watu kwa kuachana na dharau kwa wenzao, ili kila mmoja aweze kuufikia wito wake, na kupata mafanikio mengi, katika maisha yake.

ENGLISH: I HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMED, HELP ME.

There was a man who was crossing the river in the village of Mwatuma. He thought that he could manage crossing it because of his swimming skills. He was shocked that the river started to overpower him until he finally had to ask for help from other people because he started losing his strength. That is why he said, “I have been overwhelmed, help me.”

This saying is equated to a person who claims to know everything by despising his colleagues, in his life. Such person thinks that he is more intelligent than all his nobles because of his contempt to them. He experiences problems of running out of food in his family, because of despising the people who could help him, in his life.

This person resembles the one who wanted to cross the river that overhelmed him until he got help from people, because he also despises his colleagues who can help him in his life. That is why he says, “I have been overwhelmed, help me.”

This saying teaches people about having respect to people by stopping despising them, so that they can get a lot of successes in their lives.
