Transcript for "Proverbs 1"

Esese lisina Alita Makokha ndi nende kimiaka sitina mbili.

My name is Alita Makokha, I am 62 years old.

Khwaluno luri ndikho nichakho nende lusimo, nelusimo luno.

Today I want to tell you about some parable.

Lwechanga mala yabechanga sikambilo siefwe silayi po, omubukusu kaloma ali nanda okhaulila.

The parable used to guide us. As a Bukusu saying goes, "someone who does not listen to the advice.

Oliulila.

You will hear.

Chingikwa bikwa, ne efwefwe babukusu yaba.

The consequences, us Bukusu's when.

Banaloma bali papa rura aundu, rurayo.

When warmed about a place, you should listen.

Bali nanda kambilwa alikona khumwanda kwenjoli, aba bakhukambila mungo soulila ta.

If you do not listen when being guided the right way, you will end up messing up your life.

Bakhukambila mungo soulila ta, balebe barera chilomo chichamila kandokando baloma aah.

Your family and relatives give you advice but you never listen.

Wangila, eeh omwana woo yuno khunaulilanga salakendanga bulayi, kambila omwana.

Wangilia, "we are hearing bad stories about your child, please talk to him"

Omwana nga mbolelakho mawe nandi maayi, "ewe omwana yuno bona bali khabaloma chilomo chimulikho sechili chilomo chindai ta"

I told the mother about the rumoured bad behavour of her child.

Nomanye chimbikwa nechikwa chiro aba sachikwila yeng'ene ta.

When one child is misbehaving, it does not mean the other children are not misbehaving.

Nokambila owoo ata omufubi yesi nekakhale aba olikhomukambila. Yesi liru nanda ulila murwe kwasu.

When you advice your child in the presence of an orphan child, it means the other child will also benefit from the dvice.

Akhachungila musibwili kumurwe sakutubundukhanga ta sibuno siong'ene nono aba niye omwana.

When a child does not listen to the elders, it is difficult to handle him/her.

Niyo okambilanga bali nanda kambilwa alikona khumwanda kwenjoli aba niye omwenoyu, wakahabola saulila ta.

The child that does not listen to the elders advice ends messing up in life.

Oli mawe alomaloma saulila ta, oilulila sa bali eeeh omwana wa Waswa niye balomanga.

When the child is also being disrepectiful to the mother, you will hear people talk about Waswa's notorious child.

Oyosina bamuunile abundu kumusakhu akonile namwe barerire bamwatile aundu, mala kang'ali nga ocha onyola kamamonywe kalikho.

The child will get stabbed and dropped somewhere and when you want to confirm it, you find ants feasting on the child's body.

Kalilkho kalila eeeh!

The ants moarning.

Kundu papa khukambilanga soulilanga ta nono akho wakabona, sowakona.

"Kundu my son I have been telling you to listen, now see you are dead"

Papa sebuli bulayi ta, esese Alita Makokha embakha eyo yawelelao. Olwo nilwo lusimo lubofu olwosi.

It is not a good thing. I am Alita Makokha, My story ends there. That was a big parable.
