ራስ ተላጭቶ ወለባ ልባልባ ታጥቆ አዛባ

✦

“After shaving his head, he tied on a 'weleba' (headband) and spoiled (it/himself).”

Meaning

This proverb describes someone who, after making a significant change or sacrifice (like shaving the head for a new commitment), immediately undermines their own effort with trivial or contradictory actions. It implies hypocrisy or a failure to commit fully to a new path.

አንድ ሰው አንድ ትልቅ ውሳኔ ወይም ለውጥ ካደረገ በኋላ፣ ከለውጡ ጋር የማይሄዱ ወይም የሚጻረሩ ጥቃቅን ነገሮችን በማድረግ የራሱን ጥረት ወይም ውሳኔ የሚያበላሽበትን ሁኔታ ይገልጻል። ግብዝነትን ወይም ለውጥን ሙሉ ለሙሉ አለመቀበልን ያሳያል።
