KISWAHILI: MBALU MAHULE IMETUGHARIMU NG’OMBE.

Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa anafanya kazi yake aliyekuwa akiishi katika kijiji fulani. Mtu huyo, aliipenda sana kazi yake hiyo kwa sababu ilikuwa na faida kubwa sana maishani mwake.

Lakini yeye aliambiwa kwamba aache kuitekeleza kazi hiyo akakataa kwa kuapa kwa sababu ameigharimia ng’ombe kuipata kazi hiyo. Ndiyo maana alisema kwamba, “mbalu Mahule imetugharimu ng’ombe.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mkristo ambaye hataki kuiacha kazi yake ya kusali, katika maisha yake. Mkristo huyo, huyaishi vizuri maagizo ya Bwana kwa sababu anampenda sana Yesu, maishani mwake. Yeye hupata Baraka nyingi sana katika ukristo wake kwa sababu ya kuyaishi vizuri maagizo ya Bwana katika maisha yake.

Mkristo huyo, hufanana na yule aliyekataa kuiacha kazi yake aliyoipenda sana, kwa sababu naye hukataa kuuacha ukristo anaopenda sana, kwa kuyaishi maagizo ya Bwana, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana huapa kwa kusemakwamba, “mbalu Mahule imetugharimu ng’ombe.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha wakristo juu ya kuiishi kazi hiyo kwa kuyaishi maagizo ya Bwana, maishani mwao, ili waweze kupata Baraka za kuwafikisha Mbinguni.

ENGLISH: MBALU MAHULE IT HAS COSTED US A COW.

There was a man who was working and living in Sanjo village. Such man valued his job so much because it was accordingly profitable in his life.

But he was told to stop doing such job. He refused by swearing because he had cost a cow to get it. That is why he said that, “Mbalu Mahule it has costed us a cow.”

This saying is likened to a Christian who does not want to leave his work of prayer, in his life. Such Christian lives well the commandments of the Lord because he loves Jesus very much, in his life. He receives a lot of blessings in his Christianity because of living well the commandments of the Lord in his life.

This Christian resembles the one who refused to leave his job that he valued so much, because he also refuses to leave the Christianity that he likes so much, by living according to the commandments of the Lord, in his life. That is why he swears by saying that, “Mbalu Mahule it has costed us a cow.”

This saying imparts in Christians an idea living according to the Lord’s instructions in their lives, so that they can receive blessings that will take them to Heaven.

KISWAHILI: NIMELIWASHA NAMI.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea uwashaji wa moto wa mtu fulani. Mtu huyo alikuwa na wenzake waliokuwa wakiwasha moto wa kupikia kila mmoja unapofika muda wake, kwa sababu kazi hiyo ilionesha ishara ya kukua kwa mtu huyo. Ndiyo maana yule aliyeuwasha moto huo alisema kwamba, “nimeliwasha nami.”

Msemo huo hufananishwa kwa mtu yule aliyepewa jiko na wazazi wake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hupewa jiko na wazazi wake hao akioa na kuanza kujipikia kwenye jiko lakwe mwenyewe kwa sababu amejenga familia ya kuwapikia chakula cha kula watu wanaoenda pale, maishani mwake. Yeye hujenga familia ya kuwapatia watu malezi mema kwa sababu ya ukarimu wake huo alioupata kutoka kwa wazazi wake hao.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule aliyewasha moto wa kupikia chakula cha kula watu, kwa sababu naye amejenga familia ya kuwapikia watu chakula cha kula wanapofika pale, nyumbani kwake. Ndiyo maana yeye husema kwamba, “nimeliwasha nami.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwapatia wenzao malezi ya ukarimu wa kutunza wageni vizuri, ili waweze kuishi kwa furaha katika familia zao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE ALSO LIGHTED IT.

The origin of this saying refers to a lighting of a fire by someone. There were colleagues who lighted a cooking fire one by one. One of them waited for his time to do so because such task showed a sign of a person’s growth in life. That is why such person after lighting such fire said that, “I have also lighted it.”

The saying is likened to a person who got married in his life. Such person is given a chance by his parents to stay at his family house with her wife. They start cooking food at their own kitchen because of building such family for providing people who visit them with food in their lives. Such person builds a decent family enough to provide people with virtuous upbringings because of the generosity which he received from his parents.

This person is like the one who lit the cooking fire for people, because he also has built a family that can cook food for people to eat who visit at his home. That is why he says, “I have also lighted it.”

This saying imparts in people a clue of providing their neighbors with hospitality of taking respectable care of strangers, so that they can live happily in their families.

KISWAHILI: ANGALIA KICHWANI.

Msemo huo huongelea mtu aliyetumwa kwenda kuchukua kitu ambacho kilikuwa kichwani mwa kitanda. Mtu huyo alishindwa kukiona kitu hicho kwa sababu alikuwa akiangalia kwengine tu. Yeye hakuwa na umakini wa kusikiliza maelekezo ya yule aliyekuwa akimtuma kwenda kukichukua kitu hicho. Ndiyo maana yule mtu aliyemtuma alimwambia kwamba “angalia kichwani.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwa hasikilizi vizuri anapopewa kazi na wakubwa wake, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo huwa anawaza mawazo mengine anapopewa kazi na wakubwa wake, kwa sababu ya kutokusikiliza vizuri maelekezo maishani mwake. Yeye hukosa kazi za kumpatia mali kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini wa kusikiliza vizuri anapopewa kazi na wakubwa wake, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule ambaye hakusikiliza kwa umakini alipotungwa kwenda kuchukua kitu kilichokuwa kimekwa kichwani mwa kitanda, kwa sababu naye huwa hasikilizi kwa umakini anapopewa kazi na wakubwa wake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana wao humwambia kwamba, “angalia kichwani.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuzielewa vizuri kazi wanazopewa na wakubwa wao, ili waweze kuzitekeleza vziuri kazi hizo, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: LOOK AT THE HEAD.

This saying refers to a person who was sent to pick up something that was put at a bed head side. This person failed to see it because of looking elsewhere. He was not paying attention to an instruction of the one who sent him to pick it up. That is why such person told him to “look at the head.”

This saying is equated to a person who does not listen well to what is said when he is given a task by his superiors. Such person tends to think of other things when he is given a task by his seniors, because of not paying attention to the given instructions in his life. He misses chances that would provide him with wealth for his family developments because of not paying such attention to those instructions of doing a given task by his elders in his life.

This person is like the one who did not listen carefully what he was told when he was ordered to pick up something that was put at the bed head side, because he also does not listen carefully to instructions of doing a given task by his directors, in his life. That is why they tell him to “look at the head.”

This saying teaches people about being careful enough to understand directions of doing the assigned tasks to them by their seniors, so that they can nicely carry them out in their lives.

KISWAHILI: ANAKWEPA.

Alikwepo mkazi mmoja kwenye kijiji cha Mwatuju. Mkazi huyo alikosana na mwenzake kwa kuambiana maneno ya aibu, kwa sababu ya hasira zao hizo. Yeye alianza kukwepa kuonana na yule waliyekosana naye hata akiwepo kwenye kikundi fulani cha watu. Ndiyo maana watu walipomgundua alivyokuwa akikwepa kuonana naye walisema kwamba, “anakwepa.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huogopa kuwapa malezi mema watu wa kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya hutenda matendo ya aibu mbele yao, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hulewa pombe na kuanza kutukana watu na kukosana nao hovyo, kwa sababu ya kukosa umakini katika maisha yake hayo. Yeye huona aibu kuwapatia malezi mema watu wake hao, kwa sababu ya kutenda matendo hayo ya aibu mbele yao, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyekosana na mwenzake akawa anaogopa kuonana naye, kwa sababu naye hutenda matendo ya aibu na kuanza kuona aibu kuwapatia malezi mema watu wa kwenye familia yake hiyo, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu wake hao humwambia kwamba, “anakwepa.”

This saying is related to a person who is afraid to give decent upbringings to the people in his family because he commits shameful acts in front of them, in his life. Such person, drinks alcohol of the point of starting to curse people and quarreling with them carelessly, because of his lack of attention in his life. He feels ashamed to give respectable upbringings to his people, because of committing those shameful acts in front of them, in his life.
