Saying #8

-Vatwa vasekana zimbara -
vatwa - people of foreign origin, half-casts, of similar problems, living at the boundary
vasekana - laughed at each other, scorned one another

Vatwa na vandu vanakivara vataveye nuvurungi murimenya riavo. Na vandu vidikira mu vandi, varara vazia komenya mumiritu na vandi vazia muzihiri zindi.
Rwa vaganiraa yo, vogono vwo kumanya yavo na vandu vu l'lera l'lara korondekana ne riva riavo, vamaa vagirung'ana vatanga kosekeriza no komonya vandi. Vari vakonyane vamaa vagosana vava vasigu kari si vahereranaa mba. Numuteva wache aveendi amaa yegoiza amanyi mba noho amoroma mang'ana madamanu kuye.
Vuri mundu aveyange ne imbara yeye. Imbara iyi novogeheru vunakivara. Vunyara kuva vurwaye, vudaka, vusiza, vorema, vukungu noho vumanani vunavoreve. Rwa mundu atangaa koteta navora mang'ana madamanu ku undi amaa yiviriraa kandi naye aveye novogeheru. Genyaa mundu murimoroma ririe avore marahi, mang'ana gumbakaa, inditi ne viseno areke. Na ndio si varasekana zimbara mba navuza varayanguizana murimenya riavo.
