Lakini basi, walipotaka kuondoka mmoja wao alijisahau mpaka wenzake wakamuacha kwa sababu ya kujisahau kwake huko. Ndiyo maana watu wa kwenye familia hiyo walimuuliza kwamba, “wamekuacha wenzako utaenda na nani?”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujisahau kuzitekeleza kazi zake kwa kujali kazi zingine mpaka anachelewa kuzimaliza kazi hizo, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huenda kufanya kazi na kuchelewa kuzitekeleza kwa kuanza kuongelea mambo mengine, kwa sababu ya kujisahau kwake huko. Yeye hushindwa kuzimaliza kazi zake vizuri kwa sababu ya kujali mambo mengi Zaidi kuliko kazi zake hizo, maishani mwake.

ENGLISH: YOUR COMPANIONS HAVE LEFT YOU, WHO WILL GO WITH YOU?

This saying talks about an abandonment of one person who left by his companions who were on a journey. The trip was for three people who went to a family to get food because they were very hungry.

But then, when they wanted to leave, one of them forgot his trip by doing other things until his colleagues left him because of his doing of other things instead of traveling. That is why the people of that family asked him that, “your companions have left you, who will go with you?”

This saying is compared to the person who forgets to do his work by caring about other things until he is late to finish his required work in his life. Such person goes to work late by starting to talk about other things, because of his self-forgetfulness. He fails to complete his tasks well because of caring about other things instead of doing his tasks in his life.

This person resembles the one who forgot himself by doing other things until he was left by his companions on the journey, because he also loses time of work by caring about other things in his life. That is why people ask him that, “your companions have left you, who will go with you?”

This saying teaches people about taking care of their works by doing them well, instead of following other things in their lives, so that they can get more success in their lives.

KISWAHILI: MTU MKUBWA LAKINI HANA MJI.

Msemo huo, huongelea mtu mkubwa ambaye hana mji. Alikuwepo mtu kwenye kijiji cha Ng’watuju aliyekuwa akifanya kazi zake kila wakati kwa sababu ya bidii yake kuyatekeleza majukumu hayo. Yeye hakuoa kwa sababu ya kazi zake hizo maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “mtu mkubwa lakini hana mji.”

Mtu huyo, hujitolea kwa Mungu kwa kuishi maisha ya kumtumikia Yeye peke yake bila ndoa kwa sababu ya imani yake hiyo kubwa kwa Mungu, maishani mwake. Yeye huwasaidia watu wengi katika kumtumikia Mungu vizuri kwa kunruhusu kila mmoja kufuata wito wake, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo, maishani kwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeacha maisha ya ndoa ili apate nafasi ya kufanya kazi zake vizuri, kwa sababu naye humtumikia Mungu kwa kuacha maisha hayo ya ndoa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “mtu mkubwa lakini hana mji.”

ENGLISH: A BIG MAN BUT HAS NO FAMILY.

This saying speaks of a great man who has no family. There was a man in the village of Ng’watuju who was always doing his daily works because of his diligence in carrying out those duties. He did not marry because of his works in his life. That is why people told him that, “a big man but has no family.”

 This saying is related to man who decided to serve God by living a life without marriage, in his life. This man dedicates himself to God by living a life of serving Him alone without marriage because of his great faith in God, in his life. He helps many people in serving God well by allowing each one to follow his/her calling, because of his faithfulness in life.

This person resembles the one who left the married life so that he could have a chance to do his works well, because he also serves God by leaving that married life, in his life. That is why people told him that, “a big man but has no family.”

This saying teaches people about understanding their calling and living it well, so that they can reach heaven after passing away.
