ለሚስት ያጎርሷል ለተመታ ይክሷል

Meaning

This proverb depicts the actions of an irresponsible or foolish person. While feeding one's wife and compensating someone one has harmed are good deeds individually, the proverb highlights a disconnect. It implies that the person might be balancing out their wrongdoing (hitting someone) with a positive action (feeding their wife), perhaps as a way to rationalize their behavior or fulfill obligations without genuine repentance for the harm caused. It points to a situation where responsibilities are met, but in a way that suggests a cycle of causing harm and then rectifying it, rather than preventing harm in the first place.

ይህ ምሳሌ የሚያሳየው ኃላፊነት የጎደለውና አላዋቂ ሰው ድርጊት ነው። በትክክል ሚስትን መመገብና የጎዱትን ማካካስ መልካም ተግባር ቢሆንም፣ ምሳሌው የሚያመለክተው ግለሰቡ ሚስቱን እንደሚያጎርስ ሁሉ የጎዳውንም ማካካስ እንዳለበት ያሳያል። ነገር ግን ሚስትን መመገብና ሰውን መምታት አቻ ተግባራት አይደሉም። ይህ ምናልባት ግለሰቡ ግዴታውን የሚወጣው እንደ ማስቀየሪያ ሊሆን ይችላል።
