የአባትህ ቤት ሲዘረፍ አብረህ ዝረፍ

✦

“When your father's house is being looted, loot with them.”

Meaning

This is a cynical and opportunistic proverb. It suggests that when a system or a group is failing, and everyone else is taking advantage, you should also take your share to avoid being the only one losing out. It's about self-preservation in a chaotic or corrupt environment, even if it means participating in the wrongdoing.

ይህ ብሂል የክፉ አጋጣሚነትን እና ምቹ አጋጣሚን የመጠቀምን አስፈላጊነት ያሳያል። አንድ ሥርዓት ወይም ቡድን ሲወድቅ እና ሁሉም ሰው ጥቅሙን ሲያገኝ፣ ከሌሎች ጋር በመሆን የእርስዎን ድርሻ መውሰድ እንዳለብዎት ይገልጻል፤ ይህም ብቸኛ ተጎጂ እንዳይሆኑ።
