Transcript for "Folktale: The stolen vegetables 2"

Nono bakhale sebekhalanga sa nebabana engo nebaloma bali.

The elderly did not just sit with their children at home saying that.

Mwanawase yikhala ano.

Sit here my child.

Waye chikhafu, yaani bakhale sabekhalanga busa nebabana nebabalekha busa nebaba mumima kimibi tawe, babasomianga chingila chekhunyola bukesi.

The elderly did not leave their children to misbehave, they thought them ways to be intelligent.

Nga lubeka lwe basoleli.

Like for the boys.

Basoleli babarechangakho nebacha nebaya chikhafu ne bakhana nabo bamanya khulinda munju mube muli mulayi.

The boys were tasked to look after the cows and girls were to make the house clean.

Lundi basinga chingubo, bacha kamechi sababamo nesileka ta.

Also to wash clothes and fetch water without being rude.

Nono ndaloma endi.

Now I want to say that.

Fwesi lwasayi.

All of us now.

Enyekhana khukope kimima kie babandu bakhale.

We are supposed to emulate the behavours of the elderly.

Ili omwana woo akhonekha ta obona omwana.

For your child not to get spoiled.

Obona omwana.

You will see a child.

Kafwarire engubo, kafwarire bubi newewe maayi namwe papa.

Dressed inappropriately, yet you as a mother or a father.

Sokhowenya khwikhasia asi omwa woo mala omukelekele kimima nikio enyekhana abemo ta.

You do not want to sit your child down and advise him/her on how to behave.

Nono abwenao nobona lwibulo lwoo nolutongoyana namwe nalucha lubeka.

From there, you will see your generation get out of line.

Oloma omwana wase naoyu oyu niye omulokile mala salikho niye ta.

Then you will begin to falsely accuse innocent people to have bewitched your child.

Eli kimima kioo.

It is your character.

Nende khulinda omwana owoo.

And how you take care of your child.

Namwe obona sanasana papa aloma ali omwana yuno kimifuki kiebukhochawe.

Mostly the father links bad behavour of a child in line with the child's maternal relations.

Nikio kikila nakhola kufwani nga kuno, namwe nakhola kwima kurikuri mali sakulikho kuriokurio ta, eli ewewe papa nende maayi.

It is you the father and the mother, not the maternal blood relations, that make a child misbehave.

Khubukula omwana yuno wamwikhasia asi omukambile, omueleselie nga sibala siefwe siakenya nga khasichililila.

Take this child, sit him/her down and explain to the child how our country Kenya is operating.

Khubela nokhamubolele ta mbao nga alalonda lilaka liekhusibala khuno ta.

Because if you do not tell the child, there is no way the child will follow the rules in this country.

Ata mbao nga alalonda kamalaka koo nga olalomaloma ta.

He/she will not follow the word rules and your advice.

Nono nekakhali enyekhana.

So it is supposed.

Khube barekerefu khubana befwe khubeumbe alala nga obonanga chingokho nebalilile binywinywi biayo.

We have to be safeguarding to our children just like how the chicken protects its chicks.

Neloma eli bana base bakhaulila embeo ta ili babe nekamani namwe bachoe munganakani chili chindayi.

Saying its children should not get cold but grow up strong with a good mind.

Wabone nono bapapa, nono enyekhana.

Fathers, you should see that.

Khube nende riria lili liyali nende sisomelo sili silayi khubana befwe.

We should have good respect and education to our children.

Nolabona oli.

You will see that.

Chinyinga khachicha echichi ewewe olaba nende kamase kamakali sana.

The coming days you will be too old.

Olaba wakofule ata khokendela khusimbo somanya.

And using a walking stick not knowing.

Ata yaani.

Even.

Kamani mumakumba mbamo ta, okendakho sa kamani wolakhokhao oela, lakini omwana woo yuno nomusomisie musisomelo sili silayi namwe nomurere.

With no energy in the bones to walk around but when you have taken your child to a good school or if you have put the child in.

Mumimama kili kimilayi kili nende.

With good behaviours.

Kimima kili kimilayi nikio bandu boosi bachirani nebabonakho nebabona bali omwana wa naoyu bamusomia kimima kimilayi nobona omwana yuno alecha nakhuenjela.

Good behaviours that even the neighbours desire, you will see this child being responsible.

Nakhurerera nolia.

The child will be taking care of you.

Sikila wamusomia mumima kimilayi lakini nomulekha natongoyana obona sa omwana kalekhulile sa elong'i yekhile sa mumasikamo asi.

Because you taught the child well but if you leave him to be ruined, you will see the child with sagging trousers almost to their knees.

Lakini papa olola busa oli omwana wase ali mubise bibiabwe nono sembona acha khulosia nenaye ta.

As a father you assume the child is enjoying his youthful time and you do not see the need of talking to him.

Ili niye akhakhola khulondekhana nende.

The child will be doing that according to.

Khulondekhana nende.

According to.

Kimiko kiewe ngali, lakini kimieneko sakili kimiko kiewe nga ali ta, kweneko kukwima kuli kumayanu.

That is misbehaving for his age.

Kukharera liambani musirekere namwe ata liambani mulimenya ta.

The misbehaviour does not bring peace in the village and in life.

Ata bamaayi bano obona maayi kekhale nomwana wewe omukhana.

Even these mothers can be seated with their daughters.

Omwana wewe omukhana papa yesi alio, obona omwana wewe omukhana yuno kachile chingila chili chimayanu mala kamurere.

The daugther will live a promiscuous life in the presence of the father.

Eshida, namwe ata kamurere chikhabi sebechanga eshida ta.

A problem or blessing because its not always a problem.

Chikhabi sikila samanya ali omwana wewe yesi.

Blessings because the parent does not know that her child.

Sekelo senisio anyala kaba munafasi ng'eneyo ta, nono omwana yuno namayile kanyola sisombo sino.

At that age the child will be in such a position, when this child gets pregnant.

Sabolakho omwana ali maayi bona wambambia chisoni musirekere ta.

She will not question the child for embarassing her in the village.

Bachirani baloma bali aah omwana wa naoyu oyu.

The neighbours will start talking.

Sisombo nanu wamuwele, lakini maayi ewe wiwulila sa omwana woo nga asutile sisombo mungo.

On who impregnanted your daughter, yet you as a mother will be proud of your daughter for having unplanned pregnancy.

Papa oyosi kekhale babiranakho sa, safwara chingubo chili chindayi ta, kekhela karandabare sa kokesia kimima kimibi nakhaloma ali.

The child dresses inappropriately in the presence of her father who does not care about it.

Ali mubise bili bibiebwe.

He thinks the daughter is going through her youthful life.

Bienebio sabilikho bise bili bibiewe ta, yenyekhana musisomelo sino.

Which is not the case, from this story.

Khusomesiane kimima kili kimilayi, noli nekimima kimilayi nobona nonyola ekasi yoo namwe nonyola.

We teach each other good behaviours, when you have good behaviours you will get your job or you will get.

Bubwami bwoo, bubwami bwonebwo ata obira khungila yesi alakhwinamila khubela khokhola sisindu sili sisienyekhana.

Leadership where anyone passing by will salute you because you will be doing something very useful.

Wabone, nono ese nekhasimile basale nobona omundu.

As friends I am wishing that when you see someone.

Nakhacha.

When going.

Kimima kimibi namwe nakhakhola bikholwa bikhenyekhana ta enyekhana omukolola, nokhamukolola ta naye.

Rectfify him/her when misbehaving, if you do not rectify the child.

Ali nende kalamukolola, sikila nobona.

They will get rectified out there.

Owana yuno keyama ali maayi nise olile chinyenyi, ata andi sakakwa muluchi omwomwo mala kacha ta.

If this child admitted that it was her that ate the vegetables, she would not have fallen in that river and died.

Nobona basasi balala omwana ali mungila ya bubufwi.

Some parents' children are thieves.

Lakini maayi atilila omwana ali omwana wase sakebanga ta, katilile khakokho khabene karere mwikunia.

But the mother will defend the child from stealing while the child will have someone's chicken in the suck.

Oli omwana wase sakebanga ta, ewe khakhurerera kholia.

Insisting their children do not steal because he/she brings them the food.

Khora muningilo eya etotokhela kholia lakini somanya engokho yino yamile khungila sina ta, nono lilifwi lino maayi.

As a mother stealing is when you put chicken in the pot to cook without wanting to know how your child got the chicken.

Niye sana sana okisanga omwana wewe, nono ndi khwasimile maayi ne papa mwikhala alala mwekhasia asi omwana wenywe yuno mwamukachusia.

The mother is the one mostly defending her child, the parents should sit down the child and talk to him.

Okhaulila.

Who does not listen.

Okhaulila.

Who does not listen.

Nebilile lusimo luno, okhaulila ka nini ta.

I have forgoten the parable. Who does not listen.

Okhaulila niko babola ta.

Who does not listen what they say.

Omwene alifwa nesibala mala chinyinga chenechi olibona.

Will be taught a lesson by the world, those days you will see.

Khaumia, nono ese nekhasimile sa ndomasa ndi khube nende riria khubandu bakhulu.

They will suffer. I will love to say that we should respect the elders.

Ata omwene sa kumubili kwoo, omanye nomaya waba nende riria khumubili kwoo.

Respect your body because if you respect your body.

Ata nokenda enje eyi wakhafwana oriena baloma sa bali omwana wanaoyu ali ne kimima kimilayi.

People will respect you out there saying you are a disciplined person.

Mumatiti ako, wele amulinde.

For the few I have said, may God protect you.
