“To intercede for a lion, carrying a shield; to stab a hyena, taking a donkey as cover.”

Meaning

This proverb depicts misguided courage, recklessness, or performing a dangerous task with a foolish, ineffective, or cowardly approach. Interceding for a lion is already perilous, and trying to stab a hyena while using a vulnerable donkey as a shield highlights a complete misjudgment of the situation, a lack of true bravery, or an ineffective strategy. It speaks to poorly conceived plans in the face of danger.

ይህ ምሳሌ አደገኛና ከባድ ሥራን በተሳሳተ መንገድ ወይም በብልግና መንገድ መሞከርን ያሳያል። ለአንበሳ አማላጅ መሆን በራሱ ሞኝነት ሲሆን፣ ጅብን ለመውጋት አህያን ጋሻ ማድረግ ደግሞ የፍርሃትና የብልግና ተግባር ነው። አንድን ነገር በጥበብና በድፍረት ሳይሆን በስህተት መሞከር እንደማይቻል ይገልጻል።
