na Magreth Lazaro Mafie 🇹🇿 🏆 Shindano la Insha ya Methali 🥉 Mshindi wa Tatu
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.

Dhibiti kinywa chako kwa uangalifu ...[ILIKATA]... na ufanye moyo wako kuwa mzito(?), kwa maana neno linalosemwa ni kama ndege, naye alitamkaye ni kama mtu asiye na ...[ILIKATA]... ufundi wa maneno una nguvu zaidi kuliko ufundi wa ...[ILIKATA]...

My son, a sheep's foot in thine own hand is better than the whole shoulder in the hand of a stranger; better is a lambkin near thee than an ox far away; better is a sparrow held tight in the hand than a thousand birds flying about in the air; better is a hempen robe, that thou hast, than a robe of purple, that thou hast not.
Un tiens vaut mieux que deux tu l'auras

Today's 50 over tomorrow's 100
Meglio un uovo oggi che una gallina domani
Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow

I hate to be a kicker,
I always long for peace,
But the wheel that squeaks the loudest,
Is the one that gets the grease.
We still have judgment here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice
To our own lips. (Macbeth Act I, Scene 7)
As you sow, so shall you reap (Galatians 6:7)
善有善報,惡有惡報
Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil.
Wie man in den Wald hineinruft, so schallt es heraus
What you shout into the forest, will echo out again
