የሚበላው ካጣ ይበላለት ያጣ

✦

“If one who eats (has plenty) lacks, then one who lacks (everything) eats (benefits from it).”

Meaning

This proverb suggests a reversal of fortune or an unexpected opportunity for the disadvantaged. If those who are typically well-off ('one who eats') suddenly experience a lack, it might create an opportunity or benefit for those who usually have nothing ('one who lacks'). It implies that scarcity for the privileged can sometimes open doors or provide gains for the less fortunate.

ይህ ብሂል በንብረት ወይም በሃብት የበለፀገው ሰው የሆነ ነገር ሲያጣ፣ ለሌላው የሌለው ሰው የጥቅም ምንጭ ሊሆን እንደሚችል የሚያሳይ ነው። ወይም ሀብታሙ ሲቸገር፣ ድሀው ሊጠቀምበት የሚችልበትን አጋጣሚ ያመላክታል።
