KISWAHILI: KUBAYA KOTE.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, kilianzia kwenye upandaji wa miti ya miembe wa mtu fulani. Mtu huyo, alikuwa akiipanda miti hiyo ya miembe kwenye kijiji cha Ng’watuma kwa sababu alikuwa anazielewa faida za miembe hiyo katika maisha yake.

Lakini basi, watu wa kijiji hicho, walimwambia kwamba atakufa kabla miti hiyo ya miembe haijaanza kutoa matunda yake. Ndiyo maana walimwambia kwamba, “kubaya kote.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huvumilia kutenda mema hata kama watu watamdharau kiasi gani, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huyatekeleza majukumu yake vizuri, na kuwasaidia watu kuishi pamoja kwa sababu ya upendo wake kwao, maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mafanikio ya kuwa na mali nyingi ambazo huzitumia kuwasaidia hata wale wanaomdharau katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yake hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule mpandaji wa miti ya miembe ambaye watu walimdharau, kwa sababu naye huvumilia kwa kuendelea kutenda mema hata kama watu watamdharau kiasi gani, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo watu hao humwambia kwamba, “kubaya kote.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuvumilia kutema mema bila ya kujali maneno ya kudharauliwa na wenzao, katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: EVERYWHERE IS BAD.

This saying started from someone’s planting of mango trees. There was a man was planting mango trees in the village of Ng’watuma because he understood the benefits of them in his life.

But then, the people of that village, considered his work as a wastage of time by telling him that he could die before the mango trees begin to produce their fruits. That is why they told him that, “everywhere is bad.”

This saying is equaled to a person who endures to do good deeds no matter how people despise him, in his life. Such person performs his duties well, and helps people to live together because of his love for them, in his life. He achieves success of having many resources that he uses to help even those who despise him in the implementation of his duties.

This person resembles the mango planter whom people despised, because he also perseveres by continuing to do good deeds no matter how people look down on him, in his life. That is why those people tell him that, “everywhere is bad.”

This saying teaches people on how to tolerate spitting good deeds regardless of the disparaging words of their peers in fulfilling their duties, so that they can get a lot of success, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: NGOMA YA KIDEVU.

Walikuwepo watu waliokuwa wakila chakula kwenye kijiji cha Mangu. Watu hao, walikuwa wakivitikisha videvu vyao wakati huo wa kula mpaka vinakuwa kama vinacheza ngoma kwa sababu ya namna yao hiyo ya kula chakula hicho. Ndiyo maana watu waliita aina hiyo ya kula kuwa ni “ngoma ya kidevu.”

There were people who were eating food in the village of Mangu. Those people used to shake their chins while eating to the point of appearing as if they were dancing because of their way of eating that food. That is why people considered that type of eating as “a dance of the chin.”
