ከሰጠሽ ስጪኝ ካልፈለግሽ ፈግጪው ተቀምጠሽበት ከምትደፈጥጪው
“If you are to give, give it to me; if you don't want it, throw it away, rather than sitting on it and crushing it.”
Meaning
This proverb advises that if you possess something (an object, an opportunity, or a resource), you should either share it generously or completely let it go. It suggests that instead of holding onto something you don't use or appreciate, potentially causing envy or resentment in others, it's better to either give it to someone who wants it or discard it. It particularly emphasizes that if something could be beneficial to others but is not useful to you, it's preferable to give it away to those who need it rather than holding onto it in vain. It condemns selfishness and hoarding, promoting generosity and the practical use of resources.

ይህ ብሂል አንድ ነገር ወይም እድል ካለህ፣ ወይ በልግስና ተካፈለው ወይም ፈጽሞ ተወው ማለት ነው። በሌሎች ላይ ምቀኝነትን ወይም ቅናትን በመፍጠር ነገሩን ሳትጠቀምበት ከምትይዘው፣ ወይ ለሌሎች አሳልፈህ ስጥ ወይም ንቀህ ጣለው የሚል መልእክት አለው። በተለይ ለሌሎች ጠቃሚ ሊሆን የሚችልን ነገር ለራስህ የማትፈልገው ከሆነ፣ በከንቱ ከመያዝ ይልቅ ለሚፈልጉት መስጠት የተሻለ መሆኑን ያሳያል።
