KISWAHILI: MKONO UMENYOKA.

Chanzo cha msemo huo huongelea unyofu wa mkono wa mtu fulani. Alikuwepo mtu aliyekuwa akihangaika kuunyosha mkono wake uliokuwa umekunjika kwa muda mrefu kwa sababu ya kazi yake aliyokuwa akiifanya. Mtu huyo, alijibidisha kuunyosha mkono wake huo mpaka mwishowe ukanyoka vizuri. Ndiyo maana watu walipomuona walisema kwamba, “mkono umenyoka.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu mtafutaji wa mali ambaye huhangaika katika kujitafutia mali hizo mpaka mwishowe anazipata, katika kazi zake. Mtu huyo, huzitumia vizuri akili zake kwa kuamka mapema asubuhi na kwenda kufanya kazi vizuri mpaka anazimaliza kwa sababu ya bidii yake hiyo ya kufanya kazi, katika maisha yake. Yeye hupata mali nyingi sana katika familia yake kwa sababu ya bidii yake hiyo ya kufanya kazi zake vizuri, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyejibisha kuunyosha mkono wake mpaka mwishowe ukanyoka, kwa sababu naye hujibidisha katika kujitafutia mali kwa kufanya kazi mpaka anapafanikiwa, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “mkono umenyoka.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kutumia vizuri akili zao kwa kujibidisha kufanya kazi zao vizuri, ili waweze kupata mali za kuwawezesha kuziendeleza vizuri, familia zao.

ENGLISH: THE HAND HAS BEEN STRAIGHT.

The cradle of this saying denotes to an outstretched hand of a certain person. There was a man who was struggling to stretch his arm that had been bent for a long time because of a work which he was doing. He had to stretch his hand until finally it was straight. That is why when people saw him said that, “The hand has been straight.”

This saying is paralleled to a person who seeks wealth by struggling enough to find it for himself in his life. Such person makes a good use of his mind by waking up early in the morning and going to work well until he finishes it because of his hard working life. He gets a lot of treasures in his family because of working hard in his life.

This person is similar to the one who took it upon himself to stretch out his hand until it eventually became straight, because he also struggles to find prosperity by working hard until he succeeds in his life. That is why people tell him that, “the hand has been straight.”

This saying imparts in people a clue of using well their minds by forcing themselves to soundly do their jobs, so that they can acquire a lot of possessions enough to enable them nicely improve their families.

KISWAHILI: UMECHUCHUMAA BILA KUJISIKIA HAJA.

Msemo huo huangalia uchuchumaaji wa mtu ambaye hajajisikia haja. Mtu huyo, alichuchumaa ili kujisadia haja kubwa lakini alishindwa kujisadia kwa sababu ya kuchuchumaa bila kujisikia haja hiyo. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “umechuchumaa bila kujisikia haja.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwahi kufanya kitu fulani kabla ya wakati wake kufika, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujifanya kama anaumwa kwa kujilaza kwa sababu ya uvivu wa kufanya kazi kwenye familia yake. Yeye husumbuliwa mara kwa mara na tatizo la umaskini katika familia yake hiyo kwa sababu ya kutokufanya kazi kwa kisingizio cha kuumwa, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyechuchumaa kujisaidia bila kujisikia haja, kwa sababu naye hujisingizia kuumwa kwa kulala wakati haumwi, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “umechuchumaa bila kujisikia haja.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa wakweli kwa kujibidisha kufanya kazi zao vizuri, ili waweze kuziendeleza vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: YOU HAVE SQUATTED WITHOUT FEELING THE NEED.

The above saying refers to a squatting of a person who has not felt an urge. This man squatted to relieve himself but failed to do so because of squatting without feeling the need. That is why people told him that, “you have squatted without feeling the need.”

This saying is matched to a man who does something before reaching its time in his life. Such person pretends to be sick by lying down because of his idleness in working at his family. He constantly suffers from poverty problem at his family because of not working on a pretext of illness in his life.

This person is similar to the one who squatted to help himself without feeling the need, because he too pretends to be sick by sleeping when he is not sick in his life. That is why people tell him that, “you have squatted without feeling the need.”

This saying teaches people about being honest by forcing themselves to do their jobs well, so that they can soundly improve their families in their lives.

Ilyato jili jiseme ijo jigabhuchaga bhanhu nulu miligo japela bho gwelela muminzi. Ilyato linilo ligashindikagwa na mahuli ga minzi ayo gagabhukilaga lyabhiza ligimba litale.

KISWAHILI: KILA MASHUA NA WIMBI LAKE.

Ngalawa ni chombo bha kusafirishia watu au mizigo majini. Ngalawa hiyo husukumwa na mawimbi ya maji ambayo huinuka kama mlima na kuipiga katika safari zake. Lakini basi, kila Ngalawa husukumwa na Wimbi Lake. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “kila Ngalawa na Wimbi Lake.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu anavyopata matatizo yake katika maisha yake ambayo hutofautiana na yale wanayopata wenzake. Mtu huyo, hupata matatizo mbalimbali ambayo hutofautikana na yale anayopata mwingine, maishani mwake kwa sababu ya uvumilifu wake. Yeye hupambana na matatizo hayo mpaka anayamaliza kwa sababu ya uvumilifu wake huo, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na ile Ngalawa iliyosukumwa na mawimbi ya maji, kwa sababu naye hukumbwa na matatizo yake katika utelekezaji wa majukumu yake, maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “kila Ngalawa na Wimbi Lake.”

ENGLISH: EVERY BOAT AND ITS WAVE.

A ship is a vessel which is used to transport people or goods in water. This boat is pushed by waves of water that rise like a mountain and beat it in its travels. But then, every boat is moved by its Wave. That is why people say that, “every boat and its Wave.”

This saying is equaled to how a person experiences his difficulties in his life which are different from his fellows’ experience. Such person experiences various glitches that are different from those which are experienced by others, in his life because of his tolerance. He fights those hitches until he varnishes them because of his endurance in his life.

This person resembles the boat which was pushed by waves of water, because he also suffers from his difficulties in fulfilling his responsibilities in life. That is why people tell him that, “every boat and its Wave.”

This saying instills in people an idea of having strong persistence enough to solve their hitches in their lives, so that they can nicely raise their families in their lives.
