እንዳልተወው ወለድኩ እንዳልሰው ነደድኩ አለች ላም

ትርጉም

This proverb depicts a situation where someone exerts great effort and undergoes significant suffering for something, only for the outcome to be tragic or futile. The cow's lament expresses profound loss and a sense of wasted effort and sacrifice. She gave birth, suggesting effort and hope, but could not save the calf ("as if I didn't abandon it," implying she couldn't protect it or it was lost), and then she herself suffered ("as if I didn't save it, I burned," meaning she got burnt, perhaps trying to save the calf or in a related disaster). It symbolizes making a great sacrifice or enduring hardship, only to suffer a greater loss or complete failure.

ይህ ምሳሌ አንድ ሰው ለሆነ ነገር ብዙ ጥረት ሲያደርግና ሲሰቃይ፣ ነገር ግን የመጨረሻው ውጤት የሚያሳዝን ወይም የሚጠበቀውን ያህል ሳይሆን ሲቀር ያሳያል። ላሟ ልትወልድ ጥረት አድርጋለች፣ ነገር ግን ልጁን ማትረፍ አልቻለችም፣ እናም እራሷ ተቃጠለች። ይህ ከፍተኛ መስዋዕትነት የተከፈለበትን ነገር ማጣት ወይም ከባድ ውድቀትን ያመለክታል።
