የማይተማመኑ ባልንጀሮች እየወንዙ ይማማላሉ

Meaning

This proverb illustrates a fundamental lack of trust even among individuals who are supposedly friends. It shows that when genuine trust is absent, people resort to solemn oaths or external guarantees (swearing by a river, a traditional symbol of truth) to validate their agreements, rather than relying on their mutual word.

ትርጉም

እርስ በርስ የማይተማመኑ ጓደኞች፣ ስምምነታቸውን ወይም ቃል ኪዳናቸውን ለማጠንከር፣ ወንዝን የመሳሰሉ ትልቅ ቦታዎችን አስታክከው ይማማላሉ። በመካከላቸው እውነተኛ እምነት አለመኖሩንና በውጫዊ ማስረጃ ለመረጋገጥ መሞከራቸውን ያመለክታል።
