Wandugu,
Hii nimeidaka toka mtandaoni. Nikidhani sisi WAAFRIKA, ndio wanawake tudhalilishwao zaidi kuliko wote duniani, kumbe, kuna wenzetu wametungiwa na tungo kama hizi hapa nilizowatafsiria: (Ukitaka kusoma zaidi tembelea: http://nepaldemocracy.org). Misemo hii pia nimeihifadhi http://tujienzi.blogspot.com
MISEMO YA UDHALILISHAJI WANAWAKE NCHINI NEPAL - 23/3/2010
Imeandikwa na: SAPANA PRADHAN MALLA (http://nepaldemocracy.org)
Beliefs Reflecting the Derogatory Attitude Towards Girl Child/Women including the following:

Uzee kitu adhimu, huo ninauingia
Ujana sasa adimu, Shabani aliusia
Maungoni mwangu humu, uzee unanijia,
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Mbali ninamuachia, rafiki yangu ujana,
Miaka inakimbia, ya leo siyo ya jana,
Nabaki nakumbukia, nilipokuwa kijana
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Shabani aliandika, kaulilia ujana,
Ni vipi unamtoka, kashindwa kuung’ang’ana,
Meno yalimdondoka, na nguvu tena hamna,
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Taratibu waingia, uzee wabisha hodi,
Siwezi kuukimbia, hata niwe mkaidi
Hata nikitukania, ndivyo napigwa baridi,
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee
Mvi sasa zanijia, nimejaribu kung’oa
Kidevu zasalimia, na miye nazichomoa,
Nikitoa zazidia, nami nazidi kutoa!
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Mapensi nayaachia, na macheni ya shingoni,
Hereni nilivalia, kwenye sikio jamani,
Mwendo nilibadilia, nilivyonesa njiani,
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Niliwapata mademu, tena wengine kwa zamu,
Nikaitwa mtaalamu, wa mambo yale matamu
Sasa yanitoka hamu, nanyimwa hata salamu!
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Nilenda nilipotaka, wasiponitaka nilenda,
Sikuwa na hata shaka, ati mtu kunidunda,
Leo naogopa paka, ninavutwa kama punda,
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Mwendo wa kudemadema, nikishika natetema,
Uso umenikunjama, natembea nikihema,
Magoti nayo yauma, uzee si lele mama!
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Kumbe maisha ni hivi, uzee haukwepeki,
Ninazikubali mvi, hata kama sizitaki,
Uzee siyo ugomvi, ujana haushikiki,
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Kweli nilifurahia, enzi zile za ujana,
Kamwe sintoyarudia, yalopita naagana,
Uzee nakumbatia, kwani lingine hakuna,
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!
Nasubiri wajukuu, nione na vitukuu,
Nakunja miguu juu, na mshukuru Mkuu
Kuona umri huu, enzi hizi ni nafuu,
Na miye nakusalimu, mgeni wangu uzee!

TUIENZI LUGHA YETU ADHIMU YA KISWAHILI
Subject: [www.eThinkTankTz.org], posted on 2 March, 2010.
Maneno Magumu ya Kiteknolojia
We are asking for your help on a quick, important project intended to
improve access to computer technology in East Africa. The task is
simple: look through a list of English terms that are used in
information technology, and vote on the Swahili translations or suggest
your own.
Twaomba msaada wako kwenye mradi muhimu unaolenga kuboresha matumizi ya
teknolojia za tarakilishi katika Afrika ya Mashariki. Shughuli ni
rahisi: tazama orodha ya maneno yanayotumiwa kwenye teknolojia ya habari
na mawasiliano, na kupigia kura tafsiri zilizoko za Kiswahili au
pendekeza neno lako (unalofikiri ni sawa).
We need volunteers with good knowledge of information technology and the
Swahili language. To get started, just visit
https://sites. google.com/ site/manenomagum u
Tunahitaji watu kujitolea ambao wana ujuzi wa teknolojia za mawasiliano
na pia lugha ya Kiswahili. Kuanza, tembelea:
https://sites. google.com/ site/manenomagum u
Several efforts have been made to produce Swahili ICT vocabularies, but
three big problems remain. First, many terms have been given poor
Swahili equivalents because the original concept was misunderstood.
Second, many terms have been given different Swahili equivalents in
different translation projects; the same English term might have five
different Swahili translations, depending on whether you are using
Microsoft, Google, KiLinux, Facebook, or Wikipedia! Third, many terms
have not yet been translated, and new terms keep appearing as ICT
continues to evolve.
Kumekuwepo juhudi mbalimbali za kuandaa istilahi ya teknolojia kwa
Kiswahili, lakini matatizo matatu bado yangalipo. Kwanza, maneno mengi
yalitafsiriwa vibaya kwa sababu ya maana asili kutoeleweka. Pili,
maneno mengi yalitafsiriwa tofauti katika miradi tofauti tofauti ya
utafsiri; inawezekana kuwa neno lile lile la Kiingereza kuwa na tafsiri
tano, kutegemea ikiwa unatumia Microsoft, Google, KiLinux, Facebook, au
Wikipedia! Tatu, maneno mengi hayajatafsiriwa bado, na maneno mapya
yanazidi kuvumbuliwa teknolojia inavyozidi kuwa.
The Kamusi Project is working to harmonize the various "localization"
efforts, in order to have unified, consistent Swahili ICT terminology as
we head into the next decade. Excitingly, we have the encouragement of
both Microsoft and Google, usually big competitors, which are both
interested in greatly expanding access to their services for Swahili
speakers.
Kamusi Project inafanya kazi ya kuunganisha juhudi hizi za
"Uswahilishaji" , ili kuwa na orodha moja inayokubalika, ya istilahi ya
kiteknolojia kwa Kiswahili, tunapoingia enzi ya tarakilishi katika Afika
ya Mashariki. Kinachosisimua ni kwamba tunaungwa mkono na Microsoft na
Google, ambao kwa kawaida ni washindani, ambao wanataka kuongeza sana
huduma zao kwa wanaozungumza Kiswahili.
We have inspected all of the existing ICT terminology lists that we know
of, from which we have produced several "packs" of difficult terms. Now
we are seeking community participation to help reach agreement on how to
express each term in Swahili going forward. The first five packs are
available at https://sites. google.com/ site/manenomagum u
Tumekagua orodha zote zinazopatikana za istilahi ya kiteknolojia, na
tumetayarisha mafurushi kadhaa ya maneno magumu. Sasa tunatafuta jamii
kuchangia ili kufikia makubaliano ya namna ya kusema kila neno kwa
Kiswahili. Mafurushi yapatikana https://sites. google.com/ site/manenomagum u
A few more packs will be added later this week, but we want to start the
community review project immediately so that we can get rapid feedback
if we need to adjust the process. This is an experimental project: as
far as we know, this is the first time that any linguistic community has
invited to help develop the ICT terms that will be used for their
language in the future. If the experiment is successful, we will use
the experience as the basis for more formal terminology development in
the future, for Swahili and other African languages.
Mafurushi mengine machache yataongezwa mwisho wa wiki hii, lakini
tunataka kuanza juhudi hii moja kwa moja ili tupate maoni ya jamii
wanaochangia, kama ni lazima kubadilisha jinsi ya kuendelea. Bidii hii
kweli ni ya majaribio: tunadhani kwamba ni mara ya kwanza kwamba
wasemaji wa lugha yo yote wanakaribishwa kusaidia kwenye maendeleo ya
istilahi ya kiteknolojia itakayotumiwa katika lugha yao. Majaribio
yakifaulu, tutatumia uzoefu huu kama msingi wa maendeleo rasmi zaidi ya
istilahi za kisayansi, kwa Kiswahili na lugha nyingi za Kiafrika.
So, for several reasons, it is very important that we have the
participation of as many people as possible who (a) have a good
understanding of the concepts involved in information technology, and
(b) have good knowledge of the Swahili language.
Kwa hiyo, kwa sababu nyingi, ni muhimu sana tukiwa na watu wengi
watakaojitolea ambao (a) wanaelewa vizuri maswala ya kiteknolojia, na
(b) wanaelewa vizuri Kiswahili.
Please join us, or tell other people who you think might be interested.
The project will end on 7 March, so please contribute this week if
you want your voice to be counted in Swahili localization! Again, the
website is https://sites. google.com/ site/manenomagum u
Twaomba uungane nasi, au ueneze taarifa kwa watu wengine. Juhudi hii
itamalizika 7 Machi, kwa hivyo ni muhimu uchangie wiki hii ikiwa unataka
sauti yako ipate kusikika katika Uswahilshaji wa teknolojia. Tena,
tovuti ni https://sites. google.com/ site/manenomagum u
Notice: this project is only for volunteers who are interested in
promoting the Swahili language. No payments or prizes are available.
This effort is organized by Kamusi Project International
(http://kamusi. org) and ANLoc, and is NOT officially affiliated with
Microsoft, Google, BAKITA, or KiLinux. All suggestions are highly
appreciated, and will be given the most serious consideration in the
production of a harmonized Swahili ICT terminology set that will be made
freely available online within the next few months.
Tangazo: juhudi hii ni kwa watu wa kujitolea wanaotaka kuendeleza
Kiswahili. Hakuna malipo wala tuzo. Bidii hii imepangwa na Kamusi
Project International (http://kamusi. org) na ANLoc, na hauna mahusiano
rasmi na Microsoft, Google, BAKITA, au KiLinux. Tutashukuri kwa
mapendekezo yoyote, na yatafikiriwa sana wakati wa kuandaa istilahi ya
kiteknolojia katika Kiswahili. Istalahi itapatikana bila malipo kwa
wote baada ya miezi michache.

MOLA MBARIKI MAMA (SHAIRI)
LIMECHANGIWA NA NASRA MOHAMED WA ZANZIBAR
28.2.2010.
M O L A M B A R I K I M A M A
Ya Rabbi Mola Rahima, mwenye kumiliki enzi,
Pokea yangu kalima, ewe usiye na mwezi,
Dua langu nalituma, kwa usiye ni vikwazi,
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Mola mbariki mama, kwa yake bora malezi,
Lolote nitalosema, halitoshi kumuenzi,
Alivyonilea vema, na kunifuta machozi
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Amenifunza hekima, vipi niishi na wenzi,
Na pia bora heshima, nisifate wapotozi,
Hii ni kubwa neema, gizani huwa kurunzi,
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Nilipopigwa na homa, udogoni hizo enzi,
Mama kucha husimama, kwa ule wangu ulizi
Kwa zake nyingi huruma, humiminikwa machozi.
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Kumbatio lake mama, lilinipa utulizi
Kwa sauti yake njema, aliniimbia tenzi
Na kunifunza kusema, mie wake mwanafunzi
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Alinilaza kwa hima, niwapo na usingizi,
Japo awe anahema, kwa kuzidiwa makazi,
Hakika zake huduma, ni pendo lililo wazi,
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Ni nini nimpe mama, kulilipa lake penzi,
Dhahabu kama mlima, ibebwe na wachukuzi,
Haitoshi ninasema, kwa huyu mwema mzazi,
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Beti hii nasimama, bila kufanya mapozi,
Machache niliyosema, mama kumpa pongezi,
Hakika yake karama, kuisahau siwezi,
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi.

Ya Rabbi Mola Rahima, mwenye kumiliki enzi,
Pokea yangu kalima, ewe usiye na mwezi,
Dua langu nalituma, kwa usiye ni vikwazi,
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Mola mbariki mama, kwa yake bora malezi,
Lolote nitalosema, halitoshi kumuenzi,
Alivyonilea vema, na kunifuta machozi
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Amenifunza hekima, vipi niishi na wenzi,
Na pia bora heshima, nisifate wapotozi,
Hii ni kubwa neema, gizani huwa kurunzi,
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Nilipopigwa na homa, udogoni hizo enzi,
Mama kucha husimama, kwa ule wangu ulizi
Kwa zake nyingi huruma, humiminikwa machozi.
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi
Kumbatio lake mama, lilinipa utulizi
Kwa sauti yake njema, aliniimbia tenzi
Na kunifunza kusema, mie wake mwanafunzi
Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi

Mola mbariki Mama, Mama ni wangu kipenzi.
