Nitumie email yake nitamtumia tafsiri yake...senator06@yahoo.com...(my email)
ReplyDeleteDear Arlene,
ReplyDelete"Riziki ni mafungu kutoka kwa Mungu" translated literally (ie, word-by-word following the Swahili syntax) would be "Riches are heaps(or bundles) from God"
But translated in the right context it means "Riches come in stages from God"
Welcome again to Tanzania.
Yours
Rafiki
it means all good things are comming from God. i think that can help you to get meaning at least.
ReplyDeletecheers bye.
hello
ReplyDeletemichuzi
Its Will from coventry
kuna maneno mengine hayawezi kuwa translated from swahili to english but we can find a meaning relevant to the one your looking for here we go
" DESTINY IS FROM GOD GIVEN TO AN INDIVIDUAL"
i tried my best michuzi
Hi Arlene,
ReplyDeleteBefore I translate the sentence, let me give you the meaning of each word.
Riziki means "Reward"/"Gift"
Ni means "Is"
Mafungu means bundles (singular is Fungu)
Kutoka means "From"
Kwa means "The"
Mungu means "God"
However based on the sentence itself, the word bundle could be replaced by the word gifts or parcels to give more meaning.
So in a simple translation, we can say "Reward is a Gift from God" OR
" Reward is a Parcel from God"
Thanks,
Matola
good fortune comes from God
ReplyDeletegood fortune comes in packages sent from God
ReplyDelete'riziki'-good fortune
'ni'- is/are
'mafungu'-packages
'kutoka kwa'- from
'Mungu'- God
ohh pleas ur doing my head early this morning.we cant translate one language to another.
ReplyDeleteLet me try na umaimuna wangu:-
Destiny is what we have been given by god in indiviadual cases.almost similar is it?

Blessings are a gift from from God
ReplyDeleteDear Arlene,
ReplyDeleteRiziki = Our daily bread (what is meant for you to have/own)
ni = is
mafungu = smaller pieces put together...
toka kwa = from...
Mungu = God
Go on put them words together...swahili comes in mafungu ya mafumbo!
Imani - bham
god's blessings are portion from god
ReplyDeleteNadhani kuna tafsiri za aina mbili kwenye usemi huu wa "Riziki ni mafungu kutoka kwa Mungu".
ReplyDeleteKwanza ni kutafsiri hoja yenyewe, ambayo ni "God provides for your daily needs through his own mysterious ways".
Na pili ni kuyatafsiri maneno yenyewe "The receipt of daily bread is God's riddle".
Pengine wadau wengine watapenda kuchangia zaidi?
Prosperity comes in portion given by god
ReplyDeleteHi Arlene
ReplyDeleteI will also try to help to the best of my knowledge,I was born and raised by swahili family and these are mainly coastal people and not kiswahili as a language and they use phrases in their daily life,you might be left out if you dont understand the phrases,riziki as I know it,is destiny in terms of your wealth and this could be riches or rags,is quite simply your possession whether big or small comes from God and it comes in portions.And the swahili also say or believe the portions comes in stages which they believe there's 7 when they will come nobody know.
I hope it's useful information for you.

hahahaha huyu anaongea kiingereza kigumu.Kweli hapa si Michuzi tu ambaye inglish is not richebo.Wala sitaki kujiingiza kwenye huu mjadala.
ReplyDeleteLeo nimesoma vituko Michuzi,hata nilichokua nataka changia imebidi nisichangie.
ReplyDeleteMaana wachangiaji naona wametoa sumu kabisa,binafsi sidhani kama wanaukweli. Maana RIZIKI NI MAFUNGU TOKA KWA MUNGU. Huwezi tafsiri kwa kila neno,haiwezekani kwa baadhi ya sentence.
Lakini pia watoaji maana wengi wanaonesha kufikiri RIZIKI inaendana na utajiri tu. Wengine riziki ni award, gift, mmmmmmhhh... contradicting.
Nafikiri katika huo msemo,upatacho ni riziki toka kwa Mungu,kama hujapata pia ni riziki japo ni riziki hasi.
Ndugu yangu Michuzi badala ya kumpelekea huyo dada hizo sumu za wachangiaji, ningeshauri tafuta mtu wa Idara ya Kiswahili atoe maana au English department hapo UDSM (hope it's there) wanaeza changia.
Ni hayo tu... Chris.
wadau wengine wamenichekesha kweli,huyu Arlene inaonyesha si mswahili anaomba maana,halafu waswahili wanatoa maelezo kwa kiswahili hamuoni mnazidi kumchanginyi.
ReplyDeletekuna mtu anajiita matola amesema neno 'kwa' in english ni 'the', is this right?????
ReplyDeletei think Arlene has got the idea on what it means
kweli kaka umesema wazi inglish is not reachable lakini na kiswahili je? ...nadhani tungejaribu kuona maana ya hilo fumbo kwanza kabla yakutafakari...sidhani fumbo lina maana ya kuwa destiny kama wengi walivyosema
ReplyDeleteNadhani ina maana kuwa kwa aliyejaliwa kuwanacho yeye anasema "ukiniona nimejaliwa leo ni bahati yangu tu na wewe subiri yako kesho mungu atakupa fungu lako..."....Na asiyena bahati anamweleza aliyejaliwa usiringe sana riziki ni mafungu kesho na mi mi mungu atanijalia nitapata kama wewe..." nadhani ndio maana yake hiyo fumbo...sasa umweleze kwa kidhungu
Waswahili bwana kwa maneno tuu hatujambo. Tumepewa sentensi tutafri ila naona maneno tu mengi mara ooohh "Kwa " kwa kiingereza ni "the" duh!! Mjibuni binit wa tatu wengine mmeanza gia za email ..ya nini andika hapa tuone. Lugha...lugha bado tatizo sana
ReplyDeleteMaana yake ni "BWANA AMETOA, BWANA AKATWAA, MAPENZI YA BWANA YATIMIZWE"
ReplyDeletenaomba basi hiyo email ya huyo dada nitumie kwa sirbzeg@yahoo.com
Poa
Kaka michu mimi kwa ufahamu wangu mdogo napenda umueleze mtasha huyo kua katika kiswahili kuna misamiati pia kama ilivyo katika kingereza mfano: "mtu akikufungia mlango huu, Mungu anafungua dirisha lile". If someone close the door here, God open the window there. Kwa hiyo RIZIKI MAFUNGU SABA inawiana sana na msamiati huo pia.
ReplyDeletenayma
jamani hii mijadara ya vingereza msinihusishe kabisaaaa.sitaki nimesema.
ReplyDeleteBWANAE MAMBO MENGINE NI KAMA CHEMSHA BONGO FLAN HIVI ANYWAY NAMI NGOJA NI TRY KUMSHAIDIA HUYU DADA AU KUMCHANGANYA KAMA WALIVYO FANYA WENGINE
ReplyDeleteRIZIKI = BLESSINGS
MAFUNGU= BANDLES
SO RIZIKI NI MAFUNGU TOKA KWA MUNGU MEANS BLESSINGS COMES IN BANDLES FROM GOD; NAMI NIMEJARIBU KAMA HAJELEWA SHAURI YAKE

Bw. michuzi hilo fumbo halina tafsiri ya moja kwa moja. Hilo fumbo ni sawa na methali hizi mbili za kiingereza:
ReplyDelete1.Every dog has has its day.
2.Every cloud has a silver lining.
Hii maana yake ni kwamba kila mtu ana shea yake ya bahati/riziki toka kwa mungu.
Mtumie hizo methali mbili za kizungu umwambie kwamba hayo maandishi ya kwenye kanga yake ni sawa ha hizo methali mbili za kizungu (lugha yake).
