KISWAHILI: LIMELIPUKIA ARDHI GANI?

Chanzo cha msemo huo huangalia wachimbaji wa Alimasi. Watu hao huwa wanaulizia mahali ambapo Almasi hizo zimeonekana kwa sababu ya umakini wao wa kutaka kufahamu vizuri kule zilipoonekana ili waende kuzichimba huko. Ndio maana watu hao huwa wanauliza kwamba, “limelipukia Ardhi gani?”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya utafiti mkubwa wa kila kazi anayotaka kuifanya kabla hajaianza kuitekeleza katika kazi zake. Mtu huyo huufanya utafiti huo kwa kuulizia kwa watu wanaoifahamu vizuri kazi hiyo kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo wa kutaka kuifahamu vizuri kazi hiyo kabla ya kuianza, maishani mwake. Yeye hupata mafanikio mengi katika familia yake kwa sababu ya umakini wake huo wa kuifanyia utafiti kila kazi anayotaka kuifanya kabla hajaianza kuitekeleza, katika kazi zake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na wale walioulizia vizuri kule zilipopatikana zile Almasi ili waende kuzichimba huko, kwa sababu naye huifanyia utafiti kila kazi anayotaka kuifanya kabla hajaianza ili afahamu faida zake ndipo aianze kuitekeleza, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana mtu huyo huuliza kwamba, “limelipukia Ardhi gani?”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na umakini wa kuifanyia utafiti kila kazi ile wanayotaka kuifanya kabla hawajaianza kuitekeleza, ili waweze kupata mafanikio mengi katika kazi zao.

ENGLISH: WHICH LAND HAS IT EXPLODED?

Such person does research by asking people who know the job well because of his good attention enough to clearly know the job before starting it in his life. He gets a lot of success in his family because of his focus on researching every job which he wants to do before implementing it in his jobs.

This person is similar to those who asked well where the Diamonds were found so they could go there to mine them, because he also researches every job which he wants to do before starting it so as to know its benefits enough to implement it, in his life. That is why he asks that, “Which Land has it exploded?”

This saying teaches people about being careful enough to research every job which they want to sort out before doing it, so that they can get a lot of success in their jobs.

KISWAHILI: AMEPAMBANA NA NG’WATYA.

Ng’watya ni mti wa dawa kali inayoitwa Ng’watya. Dawa hiyo ni kali sana kiasi kwamba mtu akiivuta atapiga chafya kwa sababu ya ukali wake huo. Ndiyo maana watu humuambia mtu huyo aliyeuvuta kwamba, “Amepambana na Ng’watya.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwachokoza watu ambao humzidi nguvu mpaka kufikia hatua ya kumuumiza, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo huwachokoza watu wenye nguvu kuliko yeye ambao huwadharau kwa sababu ya kiburi chake hicho. Yeye hupigwa mpaka anaumizwa na watu hao wenye nguvu kupita yeye, kwa sababu ya kiburi chake hicho cha kuwadharau watu, katika maisha yake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule aliyevuta dawa kali ya ng’watya akapiga chafya, kwa sababu naye huwacholokoza watu ambao humzidi nguvu mpaka wanamuumiza, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “amepambana na Ng’watya.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuachana na kiburi cha kuchokoza hovyo watu wao, ili waweze kuishi kwa furaha kubwa maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: HE HAS FOUGHT WITH “NG’WATYA.” (SUKUMA TRADITIONAL NAME OF A MADICINAL TREE).

Ng’watya is a Sukuma name which is given to a strong medicinal tree. Such medicine is so strong that if someone inhales it, will sneeze because of its severity. That is why people tell the person who inhales it that, “He has fought with Ng’watya.”

This saying is matched to a person who provokes people who overpower him to the point of hurting him, in his life. Such person provokes stronger people than him by looking down on them because of his egotism. He is beaten until he is hurt by those people who are stronger than him, because of his arrogance of despising people in his life.

This person resembles the one who inhaled a strong medicinal tree until he sneezed, because he also irritates people who defeat him to the point of hurting him in his life. That is why people tell him that, “he has fought with Ng’watya.”

This saying imparts in people an idea of ending pride of recklessly provoking their people, so that they can happily live in their lives.

KISWAHILI: HAYA NI MANENO YA BURE.

Maneno ya bure ni maneno yasiyo na ukweli ndani yake. Alikuwepo mtu aliyeishi kwenye kijiji fulani. Mtu huyo alikuwa akiongea maneno mengi lakini maneno yake hayo yalikuwa ya bure kwa sababu hayakuwa na ukweli. Ndiyo maana watu walisema kwamba, “haya ni maneno ya bure.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huongea maneno ya uongo katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huongea maneno ya uongo katika maongezi yake kwa sababu ya uongo wake huo maishani mwake. Yeye huwagombanisha watu waliopo kwenye familia yake kwa sababu ya kuongea maneno ya uongo katika maongezi yake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyekuwa akiongea maneno yasiyokuwa na ukweli, kwa sababu naye huongea maneno ya uongo katika maongezi yake. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “haya ni maneno ya bure.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa wa kweli kwa kuongea maneno ya kweli katika maongezi yao, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: THESE ARE EMPTY WORDS.

Idle words are words that have no truth in them. There was a man who lived in a certain village. He was speaking voluminous words, but his words were useless because they had no truth. That is why people said that, “these are empty words.”

This saying is paralleled to a person who speaks made-up words in his life. Such person says deceitful words in his discourse because of his lies in life. He quarrels people who stay in his family because of saying made-up words in his communication.

This person resembles the one who used to speak words that had no truth in them, because he also speaks deceitful words in his life. That is why people say that, “these are empty words.”

This saying imparts in people a clue of being true by speaking the truth in their lives, so that they can nurture their families well in their lives.
