KISWAHILI: UGONJWA PALIZI YA MWILI.

Palizi ni uwepo wa majani mengi ndani ya shamba la mtu. Majani hayo huyazuia mazao kuzaa kwa sababu ya kuyamalizia maji. Mwenye shamba hilo hujitahidi huyapalilia mazao yake kwa kuyakata majani hayo kwa sababu yenyewe huyasonga mazao yake kama vile ugonjwa unavyoukosesha raha mwili mwa mtu anayeumwa. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “ugojwa palizi ya mwili.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huujali vizuri mwili wake anapougua, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwahi kwenda hospitalini kwenda kupata vipimo na dawa za kuweza kumponyesha haraka, kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo wa kuujali vizuri mwili wake, maishani mwake. Yeye hupona haraka anapougua kwa sababu ya kuujali vizuri hivyo mwili wake huo kwa kuuwahisha hospitalini kila anapougua, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyelijali vizuri shamba lake kwa kulipalilia palizi mpaka akapata mazao kwenye familia yake, kwa sababu naye huujali vizuri mwili wake kwa kuuwahisha hospalini anapougua kwenda kupata vipimo na dawa za kumsaidia kupona haraka, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “ugojwa palizi ya mwili.”

Msemo huo, hufundisna watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuijali miili yao kwa kuiwahisha hopitalini kila wanapougua, ili waweze kupona haraka na kuishi kwa furaha maishani mwao.

Marko 10: 46-49.

ENGLISH: SICKNESS A WEED OF THE BODY.

Weed is an unwanted leave in a person’s field. This leave prevents crops from producing yields because they drain water. The owner of the field strives to weed his crops by cutting these leaves because they themselves suffocate his crops just as a disease makes the body of a sick person uncomfortable. That is why people say, “Sickness a weed of the body.”

This saying is matched to a person who takes good care of his body when he is sick in life. This person sometimes goes to the hospital for getting medicines which can heal him quickly, because of his courtesy for taking good care of his body in his life. He recovers quickly when he is sick because he takes good care of his body by going to the hospital every time when he is sick in his life.

This person is like the one who took good care of his field by weeding it until it yielded crops for his family, because he also takes good care of his body by going to the hospital when he is sick for geting medicines which can help him to recover quickly in his life. That is why he says that, “Sickness a weed of the body.”

This saying teaches people to be careful enough to take care of their bodies by going to the hospital whenever they are sick, so that they can recover quickly and live happily in their lives.

KISWAHILI: HUYO ANAKO KAMWIBA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huangalia nyuki ambaye ana kamwiba akatumiako wakati wa kuuma. Kamwiba hako hufanana na kamwiba ka nyuki ambako hukaacha kwenye mwili wa yule aliyemuuma. Kenyewe hubakia kwenye mwili huo aliouuma yule nyuki mpaka wakang’oe. Nidyo maana watu husema kwamba, “huyo anako kamwiba.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa yule ambaye huishi kwa kutenda maovu aliyatenda zamani katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huyarudia maovu hayo aliyotenda, kwa kutukana watu na kuwachokoza kwa lengo la kutaka kupigana kwa sababu ya kukosa malezi ya kuishi na watu kwa upendo, maishani mwake. Yeye hubaki peke yake kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya kukosa malezi hayo mema ya kuishi na watu kwa upendo, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na kale kwa mwiba ka nyuki aliyemuuma mtu fulani, kwa sababu naye ana kamwiba ka kutenda maovu aliyoyatenda zamani, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “huyo anako kamwiba.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia ya kutenda maovu kwa kuishi na watu kwa upendo, ili waweze kusaidiana katika kuziendeleza vyema, familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THAT ONE HAS A STINGER.

The origin of this saying looks at a bee that has a stinger which it uses when stinging. This stinger is a bee stain that it leaves in the body of the one whom it stung it. It remains in the body that the bee stung until it is removed. That is why people say that, “that one has a stinger.”

This saying is matched to someone who lives by committing evil deeds which he committed in the past in his life. This person repeats evil deeds which he committed, by insulting people and provoking them with an aim of fighting because of lacking upbringing which can help him to peacefully live with people in his life. He remains alone in his family because of lacking such sound upbringing for living well with people in his life.

This person is similar to the bee stinger that stung someone, because he also has a stinger of doing evil deeds which he committed in his past life. That is why people say about him that, “that one has a stinger.”

This saying teaches people about forsaking habit of doing evil deeds by living peacefully with people in their lives, so that they can help each other in developing their families.

KISWAHILI: KUPAMBANA NA KICHAA KUWA NA AKILI NYINGI.

Kichaa ni mtu mweye akili pungufu katika maisha yake. Alikuwepo mtu aliyegombana na kichaa kwa sababu alikuwa hajazifahamu zilivyo akili zake. Mtu huyo alifikiri vizuri mpaka akamshinda kwa sababu ya kuwa na akili nyingi kuliko zake. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “kupambana na kichaa kuwa na akili nyingi.”

Mtu huyo, huyatekeleza majukumu yake yakiwemo yale ya kufanya kazi ngumu kwa kufikiri vizuri mpaka anayamaliza kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo wa kuitumia vizuri akili yake, maishani mwake.

KISWAHILI: MASHARIKI KWELI KWELI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea juu ya utafutaji wa mifugo wa mtu yule aliyeipoteza. Alikuwepo mtu ambaye alipoteza mifugo yakwe aliyokuwa akiichunga. Mtu huyo, alianza kuitafuta kwa kuwauliza watu kama waiona.

Wale walioiona mifugo hiyo walimwambia, “elekea mashariki kweli kweli.” Lakini hiyo mashariki kweli kweli haitofautishi upande upi anaotakiwa kuelekea kwa sababu yeye anaweza kwenda hata kwingine asikotakiwa kwenda. Ndiyo maana watu walianza kusema kwa mtafutaji yule asiyeewa dira vizuri, kwamba elekea “mashariki kweli kweli.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hana umakini wa kuvitunza vitu vyake, na hana uelewa juu ya dira za kumsaidia kuvipata vile alivyopoteza, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huzitelekeza mali zake mpaka zinapotea ambazo hushindwa pia kuzipata kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini huo, maishani mwake. Yeye hupoteza mali zake na kushindwa kuzipata kwa sababu ya kujisahau kwake na kukosa umakini wa kuelewa dira za kumsaidia kuzipata kule zilipo mali zake hizo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyepoteza mifugo yake ambayo alishindwa kuipata katika utafutaji wake, kwa sababu naye hujisahau mpaka anapoteza mali zake ambazo huitafuta mpaka anashindwa kuipata, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, aelekee “maishariki kweli kweli.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuwawezesha kuzitunza vizuri mali zao, ili ziweze kuwasaidia katika kuziendeleza vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: EAST INDEED.

The origin of this saying talks about a search for a lost steer. There was a man who lost his steer which he was herding. This man began to search for it by asking people if they had seen it.

Those who saw it told him, “head east indeed.” However, such east indeed does not distinguish which direction he should go because he can even go somewhere else where he should not go. That is why people began to say to the cattle seeker who does not use a compass properly, that he should head “east indeed.”

This saying is matched to a person who is not watchful enough to take care of his belongings, and does not understand compasses which can support him in getting back what he has lost in his life. This person abandons his possessions until they are lost which he also fails to get them back because of his lack of responsiveness in his life. He loses his possessions and fails to find them because of his forgetfulness and lack of sound courtesy enough to understand the compasses which can support him in finding where his possessions are in his life.

This person is like the one who lost his livestock which he failed to find in his search, because he also forgets himself until he loses his possessions which he seeks until he fails to find in his life. That is why people tell him that he should go towards “east indeed.”

This saying teaches people about being cautious enough to enable them take good care of their possessions, so that they can support them in developing well their families in lives.

KISWAHILI: KISWAHI FISI.

Kiwahi fiki ni pombe ambayo hutengenezwa wakati wa jioni kabla ya jua kuchwea. Pombe hiyo, huitwa hivyo kwa sababu watu huinywa mapema kabla fisi hawajaanza kutoka kwenda kujitafutia chakula. Yenyewe huwa ni kijulisho cha kuelewa kama pombe hiyo itaiva au hapana. Ndiyo maana watu huiita jina la “kiwahi fisi.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwahi kuzifanya kazi zake na kuziewa mapema kama zitaleta faida au hapana, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huamka asubuhi na kwenda kutekeleza vizuri kazi zake mpaka anazielewa kama zitamletea faida au la, kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo, maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mali nyingi kwenye familia yake kila mwaka kwa sababu ya umakini wake wa kuwahi kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake hizo, katika maisha yake hayo.

Mtu huyo hufanana na ile pombe ya kutengenezwa na kutumiwa mapema kabla ya kuingia usiku, kwa sababu naye huwahi kuzitekeleza vizuri kazi zake mpaka anafanikiwa kupata mali nyingi katika familia yake, kila mwaka, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humuita jila la “kiwahi fisi.”

ENGLISH: WHAT HAS EVER BEEN EARLY HYENAS

This saying is about an alcohol which is made by people in the evening time before sunset. This alcohol is called ‘what has ever been early hyenas’ because people drink it early before hyenas start to go out looking for food. It is a sign which helps consumers to understand whether such liquor will be ripe or not. That is why people call it “what has ever been early hyenas.”

This saying is paralleled to a man who always does his work and thinks early whether it will bring profit or not, in his life. Such man wakes up in the morning and goes to carry out his works well until he understands whether they will bring profit or not, because of his thoughtfulness in his life. He earns a lot of wealth for his family every year because of his active responsiveness enough to always carry out his works well in his life.

This man is similar to the alcohol that is made and consumed early before nightfall, because he also always carries out his works well until he succeeds in obtaining a lot of wealth for his family every year in his life. That is why people call him the “what has ever been early hyenas.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of being so careful enough to fulfill their responsibilities well, so that they can earn a lot of wealth enough to support them in running their families.
