Luka 16:1-8.

KISWAHILI: HUYU NI KIONGOZI WA WAJANJA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo chatokea kwenye ujanja wa mtu mkubwa au kiongozi. Ujanja huo hujionesha kwa kuficha makosa yake kiongozi huyo. Kiongozi huyo akikosea neno humsingizia ng’wingine ambaye ni mdogo.

Watu huwa wanafahamu kwamba kiongozi huyo ndiye mwenye kosa, lakini huwa hawathubutu kumwambia kwamba amekosea, kwa sababu ni kiongozi. Ndiyo maana watu hao husema kwamba, ‘huyo ni kiongozi wa wajanja.’

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa watu ambao hutenda maovu na kuwasingizia wengine waliochini yao.  Watu hao huogopa kupoteza heshima yao kwenye uongozi walio nao kijijini mwao. Watu ambao wauelewa ujanja huo husema kwamba, ‘huyu ni kiongozi wa wajanja.’

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha ujanja wa kuwasingizia wengine uovu wao. Yafaa watu hao wawaongoze wenzao vizuri, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THIS IS A LEADER OF THE CUNNING ONES.

The source of the above saying comes from the cunningness of a great man or leader. This tactic manifests itself by hiding the leader’s mistakes. If the leader makes a mistake, he blames another person who is junior to him/her.

People often know that the leader is at fault, but they dare not to tell him/her that he/she is wrong because he/she is a leader. This is why those people say, ‘this is a leader of the cunning ones.’

The saying is compared to people who do bad things and accuse others who are junior to them. Such people are afraid of losing respect in their leadership. People who understand their tricks will say, ‘this is a leader of the cunning ones.’

This saying teaches people to stop shouldering their weaknesses to their subordinates. Such people need to behave well by admitting their mistakes.

KISWAHILI: HII NI SHIBE

Chanzo cha msemo huo chatokea kwenye ulaji wa chakula na kukiacha hovyo. Mwaka ukiwa mzuri, chakula hupatikana kwa wingi mpaka kingine huanza kuharibika hovyo. Hali hiyo kutokea kwa sababu ya kutelekezwa na watu walioshiba baada ya kukila. Ndiyo maana wakikiona chakula hicho watu wakithaminio, husema kwamba, ‘hii ni shibe.’

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu ambaye huwatendea wema watu, kama vile kuwapatia chakula, wakala na kukitelekeza hovyo. Baada ya kukila chakula hicho mpaka wakatosheka walikiacha, wakaenda kwenye shuguli zingine. Chakula hicho kilianza kuliwa na kuku. Alipofika mtu aliyewapatia chakula hicho, na kukuta kikiliwa na kuku, alisema kwamba, ‘hii ni shibe.’

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia za malingo ya kudhazau chakula walapo na kushiba. Yafaa watu hao wawapelekee chakula hicho watu walio na matatizo ya njaa.

ENGLISH: THAT IS SATISFACTION.

The source of the above saying comes from satisfaction after having enough food. When the season is good, food gets in abundance and sometimes it ends up rotting. This can happen because of having extra food. Therefore the rotting of food is a sign of satisfaction.

The saying can be compared to someone who does good things to people, such as giving them food. After eating the food to their satisfaction, they leave it for chicken to continue enjoying it. Such people are warned by telling them that ‘that is satisfaction.’

The proverb teaches people to stop misuse food. When they are satisfied, they need to keep safely the remaining ones for future use.

ENGLISH: MY MIND BEGINS WHERE YOURS ENDS.

The source of this saying is a person who thinks that he/she is more intelligent than others. Such a person is not likely to admit that there are other people who are more intelligent than him/her. They tend to boast themselves by saying ‘my mind begins where yours ends.’

This saying can be likened to a person who pretends to despise others in life. Such a person would like to silence others and be the only one to speak.

The saying teaches people to have the humility that enables them to understand that they are also ignorant in some of the things in life. They sometimes need to be open by accepting the teachings of others.

ENGLISH: AN OWL WAITED FOR THE SICKNESS OF ITS RELATIVE.
