Saying #7

-Navoregwa yita embongo
Navoregwa - nick name, belittled person, despised one (from the word regwa meaning the weak one, looser)
Yita - killed, triumphed
Embongo - mighty, buffalo.
Kare kwariho nu mundu navoreve wa vandu vari nivamunyega, vamuzarava, vamwisuha kandi vamukubiza kivi. Munduyu yamenya mukivara no vodedekere vuvura kegero si avura wacho anyara kumwambura nukumuha zinguru. Madiku gosi yakorerwaa kehenyahenye kutura kuvahindira kuduka ku vana. Rimenya ririe rizizagirira kuva ridinyu.
Mugamba gundi, kijira si vuchezaa karunu kuri vucha mugamba dave, embongo yavoreka eveye namurimi yononyiaa viukuria. Vandu vari visigatira mioyo kumang'ana ge embongo. Vosi vatia, avura muguru, viukuria vioneke, inzara yizi.
Vahaga vi ridara vinaza ku navuzwa niivatama nizinguru ma vazia kusiondokerera nakivanda. Vang'erere vatura miriviti. Avakere vahenzeraa ihare, avana vahaniywi muzidisi. Nirwo rwa Navoregwa yihinda kuritimu riari ria guga weve nasomoka kohenza wu muhaga yari.
Vandu vegosa vatanga kukuba zikwiri nukwigana nokovora 'Da, Navoregwa yaakenya rikuza.' Oyo si ajira muguru da, yatura ku mundu hasi murikubana minyika da, vuri rwosi yatega za zisindo, igasi yu mundu mudedekere.  Rwa yisundaa ashimbi nirwo rwa masahi ga vandu ganyaguraa mumiviri ni viritu viduya du du du. Kari vari vahenze yo vahenza harovega kijira embongo yinaza rovega rwa Navoregwa etee zinziga vurungi kumfudura mmboso no kummara bei.
Nirwo rwa Navoregwa yabima ritimu vurungi muvweni vwe embongo niriizumba vurahi ma rizia kozoma mukihanga chayo rihanda mu. Embongo yagoyana yivirira cha yari ku nitazanira hayari, nituungama ma nikuza. Isango ya vandu vaha Navoregwa yari yukutanga ni yukumaririza. Navoregwa nava anyoye ruyari ku vake kandi vahindira.
