ምን ያመጣ ድሀ ምን ያገሳ ውሀ

✦

“What does a poor person bring? What does roaring water bring?”

Meaning

This proverb rhetorically questions what a truly destitute person can offer or bring, implying 'nothing of value.' Similarly, 'roaring water' (like a flood) is destructive and carries away, rather than bringing anything useful. It emphasizes extreme poverty and the inability to contribute when one has nothing.

ትርጉም

ልክ እንደ የሚያጓራ ውሃ (ጎርፍ) ትንሽ ጠቃሚ ወይም ጠቃሚ ነገር እንደማይሸከም ሁሉ፣ በጣም ድሃ ሰውም የሚያቀርበው ወይም የሚያበረክተው ምንም ዋጋ ያለው ነገር የለውም። የከፍተኛ ድህነትን እና የሀብት እጥረትን ሁኔታ ያሳያል።
