KISWAHILI: ANA ULIMI KAMA PANGA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chatokea kwenye matumizi ya ulimi wa mtu fulani aliyeutumia kama panga. Panga ni zana ya kufanyia kazi za aina mbalimbali kama vile kukata miti ya kujengea nyumba, kufyeka shamba la kulima na kadhalika. Ndiyo maana mtu anayeutumia ulimi wake kwa namna hiyo, huambiwa na watu kwamba, “ana ulimi kama panga.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huutumia ulimi wake vizuri, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huutumia ulimi wake kwa kuwapatanisha watu waliokosana katika jamii kwa sababu ya upendo wake mkubwa alio nao kwa watu wake, maishani mwake. Yeye huleta amani kwa familia yake kwa sababu ya kuongea kwake vizuri na watu, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na lile panga lililotumiwa vizuri kwa kuandaa shamba la kulima, kwa sababu naye huutumia vizuri ulimi wake kwa kuwapatanisha wale waliokosana ndani ya jamii. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “ana ulimi kama Panga.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuzitumia vizuri ndimi zao katika maongezi yao, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao, maishani mwao.

KISWAHILLI: UNAISIFIA MVUA UMENUNUA NINI?

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chatokea kwa mtu aliyekuwa akisifia mvua iliyokuwa ikinyesha wakati hajanunua chochote kupitia mazao yake. Kununua kitu  ni kupata mazao mengi na kuuza chakula au kubadilisha mazao hayo na mifugo kama vile ng’ombe, mbuzi, kondoo na kadhalika.

Hivyo basi, mtu yule ambaye hajanunua chochote haluhusiwi kuisifia mvua hiyo inayonyesha, kwa sababu bado ni mdogo. Mtu huyo, akiisifia mvua hiyo ikija itamkata afe. Ndiyo maana watu walimuuliza mtu huyo kwamba, “unaisifia mvua umenunua nini?”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hujifanya kuwa ni mkubwa wakati yeye ni mdogo, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa hapendi kufanya kazi ya kumwezesha kupata mali kwa bidii kubwa, kwa sababu ya uvivu wake huo. Yeye huwa maskini kila wakati kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu ya kujifanya kwake kuwa mkubwa, wakati yeye ni mdogo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeisifia mvua wakati bado hajanunua chochote, katika maisha yake, kwa sababu naye hujifanya kuwa mkubwa kwa kuacha kufanya kazi zake kwa bidii wakati yeye ni mtu mdogo tu, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humuuliza kwamba, “unaisifia mvua umenunua nini?”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya kujifanya wakubwa wakati wao ni wa kawaida, kwa kujibidisha kufanya kazi zao vizuri, ili waweze kupata mali za kutumia vizuri, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: YOU PRAISE THE RAIN WHAT DID YOU BUY?

The source of this saying can be traced back to a person who was praising the rain that was falling while he had not bought anything through his crops. To buy something is to get a lot of crops and sell food or exchange those crops with: cows, goats, sheep and so on.

Therefore, the person who has not bought anything is not allowed to praise the rain while it is raining, because he is still young. If such person praises the rain when it comes will cut him to death. That is why people asked such man that, “You praise the rain, what have you bought?”

This saying is compared to the person who pretends to be a big one while he is a small one, in his life. Such person does not like to work enough to enable him get wealth with great effort, because of his laziness. He is always poor in his family, because of his pretending to be big, while he is small, in his life.

This person is similar to the one who praised the rain when he has not yet bought anything in his life, because he also pretends to be big by stopping to do his work diligently while he is just a small person in his life. That is why people ask him that, “you praise the rain, what have you bought?”

This saying, imparts in people an idea of stopping pretending to be great while they are normal ones, by forcing themselves to do their jobs well, so that they can get many assets enough to run well in their lives.

KISWAHILI: UTAJIRI WA WENGINE TU LAKINI SISI HAKUNA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, ulianzia kwa watu waliokuwa wakiangalia ngoma kwenye kijiji cha Idisa. Ngoma hiyo, ilikuwa ya wagika na wagalu. Kila manju alikuwa na mashabiki wake.

 Ilipoisha ngoma hiyo, wale mashabiki wa pande zote mbili wakaanza kudai kwamba kila kundi limeshinda mpaka mwishowe wakataka kugombanga wakati wao ni watazamaji tu wa ngoma hiyo. Mamanju wa ngoma hiyo ndiyo waliochukua mali za hapo. Ndiyo maana mashabiki hao walisema kwamba, “utajiri wa wengine tu lakini sisi hakuna.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huutumia ovyo muda wake wa kufanya kazi, kwa kujali mambo yasiyo na faida kwake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huutumia muda wake kwenye michezo ya kuanzia asubuhi hadi jioni, bila kupata faida yoyote, kwa sababu ya kutokufikiri vizuri kwakwe. Yeye hukosa mali za kumsaidia katika kutunza familia yake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale mashabiki wa ngoma waliokuwa wakibishania ushindi wa ngoma mpaka wakataka kukosana bure, kwa sababu naye huupoteza muda wake wa kazi kwenye michezo ambayo haimletei faida yoyote, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana yeye alisema kwamba, “utajiri wa wengine tu lakini sisi hakuna.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuutumia muda wao kwa kufanya kazi ziwezazo kuwaletea faida yoyote, ili waweze kupata mali za kutosha kuwasaidia vizuri maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: ONLY OTHER PEOPLE’S WEALTH, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY.

The foundation of the above saying started from the people who were watching a game in Idisa village. Such dance was of Wagika and Wagalu group. Each leader of above groups had followers.

When the game ended, the followers of both sides started to claim that each group had won until finally they wanted to fight when they were just viewers of such game. The leaders of each group are the ones who took the properties there. That is why the followers said that, “only other people’s wealth, but we do not have any.”

This saying is compared to the person who wastes his working time by caring about things that are not beneficial to him in life. Such person, spends his time in watching games from morning to evening, without getting any benefit, because of his lack of good discerning. He lacks assets for helping him in taking care of his family life.

This person is similar to those game followers who were arguing about the victory of such game until they wanted to hurt one other for nothing, because he also wastes his working time by watching games that do not bring him any benefit in his life. That is why he said that, “only other people’s wealth, but we do not have any.”

This saying, teaches people about spending their time by doing jobs that can bring them profits, so that they can get enough assets to nicely run their lives.
