Yeye huwaletea furaha watu wengi anaowasaidia katika kuyatatua vizuri matatizo yao, kwa sababu ya uwezo wake huo, maishani mwake.

KISWAHILI: KITENDAWILI – TEGA.

MTU KICHWA NGUMU HAPA NYUMBANI AMETUSHINDA SISI – NYUKI.

Chanzo cha kitendawili hicho, chaangalia maisha ya nyuki. Nyuki hao huingia na kuishi kwenye nyumba za watu wale ambao huwaruhusi kwa sababu ya kuwafikiria kuwa ni ndugu zao. Lakini siku wamekasirika huwauma hata mpaka kuwaua kabisa baadhi ya watu hao waishio kwenye nyumba hiyo. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “mtu kichwa ngumu hapa nyumbani ametushinda sisi – Nyuki.”

Kitendawili hicho, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huwa kimya lakini ndani ya moyo wake anahasira kali, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huishi pamoja na wenzake katika utekelezaji wa majukumu yao, ambaye akichokozwa kidogo tu hukasirika na kuanza kuwapiga watu wale anaoishi nao kwa sababu ya hasira yake hiyo kali. Yeye huwaumiza watu wengi wale wanaoishi naye, kwa sababu ya kiburi na hasira zake hiyo kali, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na wale nyuki waliokasirika na kuanza kuwauma watu wa kwenye familia ya pale walipo, kwa sababu naye pia huchokozwa kidogo tu na kuanza kuwapiga watu anaoishi nao. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “mtu kichwa ngumu hapa nyumbani ametushinda sisi – Nyuki.”

Kitendawili hiyo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuishi vizuri na watu kwa kuachana na hasira zisizo na maana katika maisha yao, ili waweze kusaidiana katika kuyatekeleza vizuri majukumu yao, maishani mwao.

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

A STUBBORN PERSON WHO HAS DEFEATED US AT HOME – BEE.

The origin of this paradox looks at the life of bees. The bees enter and live in houses of people who allow them because they think that they are their relatives. But when they are angry, they bite them until they completely kill some of the people who stay in that house. That is why people say that, “a stubborn person who has defeated us at home – bee.”

This paradox is compared to the person who stays silent but in his heart he is very angry, in his life. Such person lives with his colleagues in the execution of their duties, who if provoked just in a little matter gets angry and starts beating people whom he lives with because of his strong anger. He hurts many people who live with him, because of his pride and strong anger, in his life.

This person resembles the bees that got angry and started stinging the people who live in that family where they are, because he is also provoked just in a little matter and starts hitting people whom he lives with. That is why people tell him that, “a stubborn person who has defeated us at home – bee.”

This riddle teaches people on how to live well with people by letting go of unnecessary anger in their lives, so that they can help each other in carrying out their responsibilities well, in their lives.

Msemo huo, huangalia ubebaji wa mizega mizega wa mtu mkubwa. Mizega mizega hiyo, ni ubebaji wa mizigo miwili mabegani mwake mtu huyo. Mizigo hiyo, hushikiriwa na mti ambao huwekwa mabegani mwa mtu hiyo anapoibeba mizigo yake hiyo. Yenyewe hubebwa na mtu mkubwa kwa sababu ya uzito wake. Ndiyo maana watu husema kwamba, “mtu mkubwa ana mizega mizega yake.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye hufanya kazi nyingi, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huwa ametingwa na kazi nyingi kila wakati mpaga hufikia hatua ya kukosa hata muda wa kupumzika, kwa sababu ya juhudi yake hiyo kubwa ya kufanya kazi.

This person is always overwhelmed with a lot of works to the point of missing even have time to rest, because of his great effort to work. He gets a lot of success in his family because of his hard working mentality in his life.

TUPO PORINI WATU WAKUBWA TU WAWILI – JUA NA MWEZI.

Kitendawili hicho, chaongelea juu ya uwepo wa Jua na Mwezi vinavyosaidiana kufanya kazi. Jua na Mwezi ni vitu vikubwa vyote vifanyavyo kazi ya kuumulikia ulimwengu kwa kubadilishana. Jua huanza Mchana na Mwezi huangaza usiku. Hivyo vyote ni vitu vikubwa machoni pa wanadamu. Ndiyo maana watu huhadithiana wakisema kwamba, “tupo porini watu wakubwa tu wawili – Jua na Mwezi.”

ENGLISH: I HAVE A RIDDLE – LET IT COME.

WE ARE TWO BIG PEOPLE IN THE WILDERNESS – THE SUN AND THE MOON.

The overhead riddle talks about the presence of the Sun and the Moon that help each other to work. The Sun and the Moon are both large objects that work to illuminate the world in exchange. The Sun begins at Day and the Moon shines at night. So they are all great things in the eyes of people. That is why people tell stories to each other saying, “We are two big people in the wilderness – the Sun and the Moon.”

This paradox is compared to married people who live well in their marriage. These people, cooperate well enough to raise their children by providing them with good upbringing that can give to them a light of living well with others in their lives, because of their good cooperation. They raise their children in a good upbringing because they themselves live those good values in their lives.

These people are like the Sun and the Moon which help each other well in enlightening those who live on earth, because they also help each other well in bringing up their children in good values, in their lives. That is why they say that, “We are two big people in the wilderness – the Sun and the Moon.”

This riddle teaches married couples to cooperate well in raising their children in good morals, so that they can live in peace with others in their lives.

KISWAHILI: MTU MKUBWA LAKINI HANA MJI.

Msemo huo, huongelea mtu mkubwa ambaye hana mji. Alikuwepo mtu kwenye kijiji cha Ng’watuju aliyekuwa akifanya kazi zake kila wakati kwa sababu ya bidii yake kuyatekeleza majukumu hayo. Yeye hakuoa kwa sababu ya kazi zake hizo maishani mwake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “mtu mkubwa lakini hana mji.”

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule aliyeamua kumtumikia Mungu kwa kuishi maisha bila ndoa, katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, hujitolea kwa Mungu kwa kuishi maisha ya kumtumikia Yeye peke yake bila ndoa kwa sababu ya imani yake hiyo kubwa kwa Mungu, maishani mwake. Yeye huwasaidia watu wengi katika kumtumikia Mungu vizuri kwa kunruhusu kila mmoja kufuata wito wake, kwa sababu ya uaminifu wake huo, maishani kwake.

Mtu huyo, hufanana na yule aliyeacha maisha ya ndoa ili apate nafasi ya kufanya kazi zake vizuri, kwa sababu naye humtumikia Mungu kwa kuacha maisha hayo ya ndoa, katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu walimwambia kwamba, “mtu mkubwa lakini hana mji.”

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuuelewa wito wao na kuuishi vizuri, ili waweze kufika mbinguni, baada ya maisha haya ya hapa duniani.

Zaburi 55:22-23.

Mathayo 19:1-12.

ENGLISH: A BIG MAN BUT HAS NO FAMILY.

This saying speaks of a great man who has no family. There was a man in the village of Ng’watuju who was always doing his daily works because of his diligence in carrying out those duties. He did not marry because of his works in his life. That is why people told him that, “a big man but has no family.”

This saying is related to man who decided to serve God by living a life without marriage, in his life. This man dedicates himself to God by living a life of serving Him alone without marriage because of his great faith in God, in his life. He helps many people in serving God well by allowing each one to follow his/her calling, because of his faithfulness in life.

This person resembles the one who left the married life so that he could have a chance to do his works well, because he also serves God by leaving that married life, in his life. That is why people told him that, “a big man but has no family.”

This saying teaches people about understanding their calling and living it well, so that they can reach heaven after passing away.
