All Proverbs

ነገሩ ነው እንጅ ቢላዋ ሰው አይጎዳም

✦

“It's the matter (the intent), not the knife itself, that harms a person.”

Meaning

This proverb shows that problems arise not from things themselves, but from people's use, intent, or evil thoughts. Although a knife is a tool, it indicates that it is the person's evil intention, not the knife itself, that harms a person.

ይህ ምሳሌ ችግር የሚመጣው ከነገሮች እራሳቸው ሳይሆን፣ ከሰዎች አጠቃቀም፣ ፍላጎት ወይም ክፉ አሳብ መሆኑን ያሳያል። ቢላዋ መሳሪያ ቢሆንም፣ ሰውን የሚጎዳው የሰውዬው ክፉ ዓላማ እንጂ ቢላዋው በራሱ እንዳልሆነ ያመለክታል።
