ያባት ሞቱን አይወዱ ረድኤቱን አይሰዱ

Meaning

This proverb describes a hypocritical attitude: people don't openly wish for their father's death (which would be taboo), but they also don't provide him with the care or support he needs. It points to those who desire benefits (like inheritance) without fulfilling their responsibilities or showing genuine concern for the well-being of their elders.
