Interesting topic!
I will go with this one.

"Siku ya kufa nyani miti yote huteleza"

Translated as "The day a monkey is destined to die all the trees get slippery"

You cannot avoid your fate.

Asifuye mvuwa imemnyea. He who praises rain has been rained on.

Asiye kuwapo na lake halipo.If you are absent you lose your share

Dalili ya mvua mawingu. Clouds are the sign of rain

Kila mlango na ufunguwo wake.Every door with its own key
