KISWAHILI: AMBALO HALIPO MACHONI MOYONI LIPO.

Msemo huo, huongelea juu ya maneno ya kuambiwa bila kuyaona.

Yule anayeusikia ukweli na kuuweka moyoni hufaidika maishani mwake, kwa sababu ukweli huo atabaki nao moyoni mwake. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “ambalo halipo machoni moyoni lipo.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufikiria kwa makini maneno anayoyasikia mpaga anauhafamu ukweli wake ndipo anayatunza moyoni mwake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hufayanyia utafiti kwa umakini yale yote anayoyasikia ili aweze kuyachambua yale yaliyo ya kweli na yale yaliyo ya uongo, kwa sababu hapendi kuutesa moyo wake kwa kushikilia maneno ya uongo. Yeye huishi kwa amani na watu wake kwa kuilea vizuri familia yake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule aliyeshikiria maneno ya ukweli katika moyo wake, kwa sababu naye huyatafakari vizuri maneno anayosikia ili ayahafamu yaliyo ya kweli na kuyaweka moyoni mwake. Ndiyo maana huwaambia watu kwamba, “ambalo halipo machoni moyoni lipo.”

ENGLISH: WHAT IS OUT OF EYESIGHT IT IS IN THE HEART.

The above saying talks about words which are said without seeing them. A person can be told words and keep them in his heart, which will later start to hurt him while he does not see them and does not know their truth. The one who hears the truth and keeps it in his heart benefits in his life, because he keeps such truth in his heart. That is why people say that, “what is out of eyesight it is in the heart.”

This saying is related to the person who thinks carefully about the words which he hears by memorizing the truth about them and keeps it in his heart. This person carefully researches everything that he hears so that he can analyze what is true and what is false, because he does not like to torture his heart by holding on to false words. He lives in peace with his people by raising his family well.

This person is similar to the one who holds the words of truth in his heart, because he also ponders the words he hears so that he remembers what is true and keeps it in his heart. That is he tell people that, “what is out of eyesight it is in the heart.”

This saying teaches people on how to carefully measure true words and take good care of them, in fulfilling their duties, so that they can raise well their family members.

KISWAHILI: AMEKUFA KIKONDOO.

Chanzo cha msemo huo, chotokea kwenye namna kondoo anavyokufa. Kondoo huyo, ni mfugo unayofugwa na watu pia ni nyama inayoliwa. Hivyo basi, kondoo huyo, hata akikamatwa na adui yake hufumilia tu mpaga kufa kwake kwa sababu ya uzubaifu wake huo. Ndiyo maana hata mtu anayepata tatizo na kukaa kimya mpaga anaumia huambiwa kwamba, “amekufa kikondoo.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huficha matatizo yake mpaka yanamuumiza, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hupata matatizo kama vile ugonjwa akavumilia tu bila kwenda kupata matibabu hospitalini wala kuwambia wenzake, kwa sababu ya kuogopa kuchekwa na watu, maishani mwake. Yeye huumizwa na matatizo hayo hata kufikia hatua ya kupoteza maisha, kwa sababu ya kuwaficha wenzake, matatizo yake hayo.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na kondoo yule aliyekamatwa na adui yake akavumilia mpaka kufa kwake, kwa sababu naye huwaficha wenzake matatizo yake mpaka yanamuumiza, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “amekufa kikondoo.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha kuyaficha matatizo waliyo nayo kwa kuwashirikisha wenzao, na kutafuta njia za kuyatatua, ili waweze kuulinda vizuri uhai wao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: HE/SHE HAS DIED LIKE A LAMB.

The cradle of this saying occurred in the way which a sheep died. The sheep is a livestock that is raised by people and it is a meat that can be eaten by them. Therefore, even if the sheep is caught by the enemy, only endures the suffering to the point of dying because of its cowardice. That is why even to a person who has a problem and stays silent when he is hurt is told that, “he/she has died like a lamb.”

This saying is compared to the person who hides his problems until they hurt him, in his life. Such person gets problems such as illness which he just endures it without going to get treatment at the hospital or telling his colleagues, because he is afraid of being laughed at by people, in his life. He is hurt by these problems to the point of losing his life, because of hiding his problems from being known his colleagues.

This person is like the sheep that was caught by its enemy that endured until its death, because he also hides his problems from his colleagues until they hurt him, in his life. That is why people tell him that, “he/she has died like a lamb.”

This saying teaches people to stop hiding the problems which they have by sharing with their peers, enough to find ways that can solve them, so that they can protect their lives well, in their lives.

ENGLISH: THAT IS MY FATE/ THAT IS MY DESTINY.

This saying speaks about a person who had some power in his life. Such man lived in the village of Ngeme who had an ability to do great work for surpassing his colleagues. His colleagues asked his to tell them the secret of what enables him to work in such way. That is why he responded to them by saying that, “that is my fate/ that is my destiny.”

This saying is compared to the person who knows his ability and uses it well in his life. Such person uses his creativity by striving to do all the works which he sees because he likes to bring development to his people. He also encourages his people to discover the talents given to them by God enough to use them well, in their lives.

This person is similar to the one who had the ability to do more work than his nobles, because he also uses his creativity by using all his talents given to him by God, he gets a lot of success in his life. That is why he tells people that, “that is my fate/ that is my destiny.”

This saying teaches people about trying to make good use of their talents by committing themselves to work well, so that they can get assets that can support them well, in their lives.

KISWAHILI: UNANIANGALIA JICHO LA INDA.

 Chanzo cha msemo huo, chatokea kwenye kuangalia vibaya kwa watu fulani waliokuwa wamekosana. Watu hao, walikosana kutokana na sababu mbalimbali walipokuwa wakiishi kwenye kijiji cha Gabale. Ugonji wao ulifikia hatua ya kuangaliana vibaya kila wanapokutana kwa sababu ya hasira ya kila mmoja wao ndani ya mioyo yao. Wao ikawa kila wanapokutana kila mmoja anamtazama mwenzake kwa jicho baya. Ndiyo maana walisema kwamba, “unaniangalia jicho la inda.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa watu wale ambao huwa hawawasamehi wale waliowakosea katika maisha yao. Watu hao, huwakasirikia wale waliokosana nao hata kama walikosana zamani kiasi gani, kwa sababu ya kutokusamehe kwao huko, maishani mwao. Wao huishi bila furaha katika familia zao, kwa sababu ya kushindwa kwao kusamehe katika mioyo, maishani mwao.

Watu hao, hufanana na wale walioishi katika ugonvi wa kufikia hatua ya kutazamana vibaya kila wanapokutana, kwa sababu nao huwa hawawasamehi wale waliowakosea katika maisha yao. Ndiyo maana wanapoonana husema, “unaniangalia jicho la inda.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na moyo wa kusamehe kila wanapokasana kwa kuangaliana vizuri katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, ili waweze kuzilea vizuri familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: YOU ARE LOOKING AT ME WITH INDA’S EYE.

The foundation of the above saying, came from a wicked look of some people who were in disagreement. Those people disagreed due to various reasons when they were living in the village of Gabale. Their anger reached at the point of looking at each other badly every time they met because of the present of anger in each other’s heart. It happened that every time they meet, each one looks at the other with a wicked eye. That is why they said that, “you are looking at me with inda’s eye.”

This saying is equated to people who never forgive those who have wronged them in their lives. These people get angry with those who disagreed with them no matter how long ago they disagreed, because of their absence of forgiveness in their lives. They live without happiness in their families, because of their failure to forgive others in their hearts.

These people are similar to those who lived in conflict to the point of looking at each other badly every time they meet, because they also never forgive those who have wronged them in their lives. That is why when they see each other, they say, “you are looking at me with inda’s eye.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of having a forgiving heart whenever they disagree in their lives by lovely looking at each other in implementing their responsibilities, so that they can nicely raise their families in their lives.
