ሆድ ወዶ አፍ ክዶ ክፉ ለምዶ

✦

“The stomach liked, the mouth denied, having adopted evil.”

Meaning

This proverb describes hypocrisy or a situation where one's inner desires or intentions ('stomach liked') contradict their outward expressions ('mouth denied'). It often implies that such a discrepancy leads to negative outcomes, especially when one has become accustomed to bad habits or deceit ('having adopted evil').

ትርጉም

አንድ ሰው በውስጡ የሚፈልገውን ነገር (ሆድ ወዶ) በአፉ ግን ሲክድ ወይም ሲቃወም (አፍ ክዶ)፣ በመጨረሻም በመጥፎ ልማድ ውስጥ ሲወድቅ (ክፉ ለምዶ) ይነገራል። ግብዝነትንና የውስጥ ፍላጎት ከውጭ ድርጊት ጋር አለመጣጣምን ያሳያል።
