kugonga (to hit; to knock)
iliyotupwa (thrown)
kituo (base)
iliyopangwa (arranged)
mgongaji (batter)
mtupaji; mtupa-mpira (pitcher)
msimamisha-mpira (shortstop)
mwamuzi (umpire)
refe (referee)

Besiboli ni mchezo wa gongo na mpira kati ya timu mbili zenye wachezaji tisa: nia huwa ni kupata pointi (runs kwa Kiingereza) kwa kugonga mpira uliotupwa kwa kutumia gongo na kugusa baadhi ya vituo vilivyopangwa pembeni mwa kitovu cha uwanja wa besiboli wenye futi 90 kwa ukubwa. Mgongaji hugonga mpira; mtupaji (mtupa-mpira) hutupa mpira; msimamisha-mpira (shortstop kwa Kiingereza) huzuia mpira kati ya kituo cha pili na cha tatu na mwamuzi ni refa.

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport between two teams of nine players: the aim is to score "runs" by knocking a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of bases arranged at the corners of a 90-foot [baseball] diamond. The batter hits the ball; the pitcher throws the ball; the shortstop blocks the ball between second and third base and the umpire is the referee.

Watu-X #12 (The X-Men #12)

Mlokole Asiyezuilika (The Unstoppable Juggernaut)
Watu-X watawezaje kuzuia nguvu kama Mlokole Asiyezuilika?
(How will the X-Men be able to stop a force like the Unstoppable Juggernaut?) 
Note: His Swahili name Mlokole refers to his obstinate, fanatical attitude and unstoppable powers that derive from the god Cyttorak himself.

Baada ya kupokea ilani kuhusu kuwepo kwenye nguvu kwa Cerebro, Watu-X waweka mitambo ya ulinzi pande zote za jumba. Wakati mpinzani wao anapopitia kila mfumo wa ulinzi bila kuathiriwa, Profesa X asimulia wanafunzi wake kuhusu asili ya mhalifu huyo mpya.

After receiving an alert about a powerful presence by Cerebro, the X-Men erect defense mechanisms around the mansion. While their opponent breaches each line of defense unscathed, Professor X fills his students in on the origin of this new villain. 

Huyo ndiye kaka wa kambo wa profesa! Walipokuwa watoto, baba zao walikuwa wakifanya kazi pamoja katika mtambo wa utafiti wa nyuklia; na baada ya kifo cha Daktari Brian Xavier, mama wa Profesa X akaolewa na Daktari Kurt Marko, ambaye alitamani tu utajiri wa familia ya Xavier. 

He is the professor's very own step-brother! As children, their fathers worked together in a nuclear research plant; and after Dr. Brian Xavier's death, Professor X's mother got married to Doctor Kurt Marko who only desired the Xavier family's fortune.

Muda fulani baadaye, baba wa Cain na mama wa Profesa X pia walikufa, wakimwacha kijana Charles peke yake pamoja na kaka yake mkubwa wa kambo ambaye alikuwa mwana wa mke wa kwanza wa Daktari Marko. Kaka hao wawili, wanaoshindana sikuzote, walitumikia jeshini wakati wa Vita vya Korea, ambapo Cain alipata hekalu la kale lililofichika katika kina cha pango. 

Some time after, Cain's father and Professor X's mother died, leaving young Charles alone with his elder step-brother who was the son of Doctor Marko's first wife's. The ever-rivalling brothers both served in the Korean War, where Cain stumbled upon an ancient temple hidden deep in a cave. 

Ndani, aligundua rubi ya kichawi iliyomgeuza kuwa nguvu isiyozuilika inayojulikana kama Mlokole. Ghafla, mapango yaliporomoka; Cain alizikwa akiwa hai! Sasa hadithi ya Profesa yakatishwa; mwishowe Mlokole amefika kwenye jumba lao. Watu-X wajaribu kumzuia asiingie kwa nguvu zao zote, hata hivyo wote walitupwa pembeni tu. Sasa hakuna kitu kinachoweza kumzuia, Mlokole anapokaribia kumshambulia kaka yake wa kambo—Profesa X!

Inside, he discovered a magical ruby that changed him into an unstoppable force known as the Juggernaut. Suddenly, the caves gave in; Cain was buried alive! Now Professor X's story is interrupted; the Juggernaut finally has arrived at their mansion. The X-Men try to stop him with all their might, yet they are all simply tossed aside. Now nothing can stop him, as the Juggernaut is about to attack his step-brother—Professor X!

Watu-X #11 (The X-Men #11)

Mgeni (The Stranger)

Baada ya kugundua saini ya nishati yenye nguvu sana, Undugu na Watu-X pia wajaribu kuandikisha mtu mwingine mwenye jeni-X. Undugu wawasiliana naye kwanza, kwa hiyo Magneto na Bwana Akili wajaribu kumvutia mgeni huyo kwa uwezo wao. Mwishowe, wamkasirisha mwanachama wao mpya mtarajiwa, ambaye kisha ageuza Bwana Akili kuwa jiwe. Watu-X wafikapo, Mgeni ateka nyara Magneto na Jura pia na kutokomea mbali. Sasa kwa kuwa Magneto ametoweka, Zebaki na Mchawi Mwekundu waamini kwamba wamelipa deni lao kwa Magneto, kwa hiyo waamua kurudi katika nchi yao ya kuzaliwa barani Ulaya. 

Karibu na hapo, Watu-X wamfikia yule mtu mpya mwenye jeni-X ambaye ajifunua kuwa kiumbe kutoka anga la nje aitwaye Mgeni. Watu wa spishi yake wanapendezwa na mabadiliko jeni, na hivyo ndivyo Mgeni achungua Magneto na Jura wawe vielelezo vyake vipya, kwa kuwa walisisitiza kuungana naye tangu mwanzoni kabisa. Watu-X waweza kusimama na kutazama tu huku maadui zao wanapopaa angani. Tena nyumbani, Cerebro yatambua kwamba mtu mwingine mwenye nguvu nyingi yuko karibu sana.

After detecting a very powerful energy signature, both the Brotherhood and the X-Men attempt to recruit another mutant. The Brotherhood makes first contact, so Magneto and Mastermind try to impress this stranger with their abilities. They end up annoying their potential recruit, who then changes Mastermind to stone. As the X-Men arrive, the Stranger kidnaps both Magneto and Toad and vanish into thin air. Now that Magneto is gone, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch believe that they have worked off their debt to Magneto, so they decide to return to their native land in Europe.

Not far away, the X-Men catch up to the new mutant who reveals himself to be an extraterrestrial called the Stranger. The people of his species are interested in gene mutation, and thus the Stranger chooses Magneto and Toad as his new specimens, since they insisted on allying themselves with him in the first place. The X-Men can only stand by and watch as their enemies blast off into space. Back home, Cerebro detects the presence of another great power nearby.

Watu-X #10 (X-Men #10)

Ka-Zar na Nchi ya Washenzi (Ka-Zar and the Savage Land)

Hivi karibuni, ilitolewa taarifa kwamba mwanasayansi ameokolewa na mtu mshenzi barani Antaktika, Saiklopsi apanga misheni kwenda Antaktika kuchunguza kama mtu huyo wa mwituni ana jeni-X. Walipofika Antaktika, Watu-X wapeleleza zaidi jangwa lenye theluji karibu na mahali ambapo mtu huyo mshenzi alionekana. Wagundua msitu wa mvua wa kitropiki ndani ya pango kubwa sana lililofichika chini ya barafu. Mara waingiapo, washambuliwa na pterodactyl, wanyama wengine wa kabla ya historia, na pia na Watu wa Vinamasi—kabila la wawindaji wenye uwezo unaozidi ule wa wanadamu ambao hupanda mgongoni mwa wanyama wakubwa wanaofanana na ndege. 

Recently, a scientist was reported to have been rescued by a wild man in Antarctica, Cyclops takes charge as leader to set out on a mission to Antarctica to investigate if this jungle man is a mutant. Once in Antarctica, the X-Men go further into the snowy wastelands near where the wild man was spotted. They discover a tropical rain forest in a gigantic cave hidden deep below the ice. Upon entering, they are attacked by pterodactyls, other prehistoric animals, and also by the Swamp Men—a tribe of superior hunters who ride on the backs of giant avian beasts. 

Malaika na Msichana Ajabu pia watekwa na hao washenzi, wanaokusudia kuwatoa dhabihu kwa tyrannosaurus. Ili kuwaokoa wanatimu wao waliotekwa, Watu-X wengine waungana na Ka-Zar—mtu wa mwituni, ambaye walikuwa wakimtafuta, na mwenzake Zabu—chui mwenye meno ya kitara. Baada ya pigano fupi dhidi ya Maa-Gor—mtu sokwe, Watu-X na Ka-Zar waenda kijiji cha Watu wa Vinamasi. Kabla tu Malaika na Jean hawajatolewa dhabihu, Ka-Zar aita kundi la mastodoni lisaidie kushinda maadui zake. Mwishoni, Watu-X waondoka, na Ka-Zar aziba kabisa mwingilio uliofichika ambao uliotokea juu ya ardhi.

Both Angel and Marvel Girl are captured by these savages, who intend to sacrifice them to a tyrannosaurus. In order to rescue their captured teammates, the other X-Men ally themselves with Ka-Zar—the jungle man, whom they were seeking, and his companion Zabu—a sabretoothed tiger. After a brief battle against Maa-Gor—the ape man, the X-Men and Ka-Zar go to the Swamp Men's village. Just before Angel and Jean can be sacrificed, Ka-Zar calls a herd of mastodons to come help them defeat their enemies. In the end, the X-Men leave and Ka-Zar permanently seals off the secret entrance that lets out above ground.
