Siogopi jua wala mvua, nikiitengeneza kesho yangu
Siogopi maumivu Wala majeraha, maana yote ni ya muda
Jua kali na kazi ndiyo desturi yangu, ili kheri kuja maishani
Machinga,mkulima, makuli na mvuvi wao na jua, Ili kuitafuta kesho
Mchumia juani, hulia kivulini bado nakitafuta kivuli.
Ni mchana jua la utosi, kichwani nina mavuno, jasho linatiririka
Jua limezama Sasa kasia ufukweni, hoi kitandani, nyavu zi baharini
Nyumbani mtaa wa nne, nahodha wa familia surubu nivute kheri
Jua Sasa la chomoza, Kiguu na njia kulitafuta tonge
Mchumia juani, hulia kivulini bado nakitafuta kivuli.

Chose promise, chose due
A thing promised is a thing owed.
Долг платежом красен, а займы отдачею.
The beauty of a debt is its payment
Alternative translation: A debt is beautiful when it is paid off, and loans when repaid.
Pacta sunt servanda
Agreements must be kept (an important principle of international law)
口說無憑
Spoken words are no guarantee.
Your word is your bond
I was very Hungry; it was so late; “a watched pot is slow to boil,” as Poor Richard says.
Better than never is late - The Canon's Yeoman's Tale
There was no end to it; tribunes of the commons and patricians could not subsist in the same state; either the one order or the other office must be abolished; and that a stop should be put to presumption and temerity rather late than never. - Livy, History of Rome, Book 4
जब जाति तब सवेरे
Whenever you wake up, that’s your morning
Don't close the stable door after the horse has bolted
Imagine you woke up late for a job interview. What would you do? Would you scramble to get dressed and make it to the meeting as quickly as possible? Or would you think "Forget it, it's not worth going at all now"? Next time you think "It's too late" try telling yourself "Better late than never." For example, this Proverb of the Day was posted late, but at least you're reading it now - Thanks!
'Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire;'
'Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves;'
'Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath.'
'Who chooseth me must give and hazard all he hath.'
'Who chooseth me shall get as much as he deserves.'
'Who chooseth me shall gain what many men desire.'
All that glitters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscroll'd:
Fare you well; your suit is cold.
