All Proverbs

ይስጡ ብሎ ከሰጠ ቆጥቦ የበላ በለጠ

✦

“He who gives expecting to receive, is outdone by him who ate sparingly.”

Meaning

This proverb suggests that it is better to be prudent and self-reliant, managing one's resources carefully (eating sparingly), than to give with the expectation of receiving something in return. It implies that transactional generosity, especially if it leads to one's own deprivation, is less commendable than wise self-preservation.

ትርጉም

አንድ ሰው ሌላውን በመመገብ ወይም በመስጠት ምትክ ነገር የሚጠብቅ ከሆነ፣ የራሱን ሀብት በጥበብ ቆጥቦ የሚኖር ሰው የተሻለ መሆኑን ያሳያል። እራስን ማስተዳደርና ያለ አላስፈላጊ ልግስና መኖር ይመረጣል ማለት ነው።
