ድሀ ካልጋረ ዶሮ ካልጫረ

✦

“If a poor person doesn't herd (flock), if a chicken doesn't scratch.”

Meaning

This proverb indicates that a poor person has nothing if they don't work or move, just as a chicken won't find food if it doesn't scratch. By comparing a poor person's life to a chicken's, it implies they must strive for their survival. In its context, it likely means a poor person should not be idle and must always work.

ትርጉም

ይህ ብሂል ድሃ ሰው ካልሰራ ወይም ካልተንቀሳቀሰ ምንም እንደሌለው፣ ዶሮም ካልጫረች ምግብ እንደማታገኝ ያሳያል። የድሀ ሰው ህይወት ከዶሮ ህይወት ጋር በማነጻጸር፣ ለህልውናቸው መትጋት እንዳለባቸው ያመለክታል። ምናልባትም የዚህ ምሳሌ አገባብ ውስጥ ድሀ ሰው ያለስራ መዋል የለበትም፣ ሁሌም ሊሰራ ይገባል የሚል ትርጉም አለው።
