Kudada kwavari mugomo kukumbira vari pasi mapfiwa; Kudada kwavari mugomo kukumbira tsvairo vari mungan'a
Arrogance of those on the hill is to ask those on the plain for hearth-stones; It is mockery when mountain dwellers ask for hearth stones from these who live in the veld.
Tsanagudzo
Kukumbira chinhu chaunacho kuvanhu vasina uchiitira kuvatsvinyira nekuvadadira; Kana vane zvinhu (vapfumi) vakange vokumbira kune vasina (varombo) zvinoratidza kuvaseka nokuvasvora.
What the Words Say
Arrogance of those on the hill is to ask those on the plain for hearth-stones; It is mockery when mountain dwellers ask for hearth stones from these who live in the veld.
What It Means
It is arrogant for those who have plenty to beg from those who have little; One should do or say something that humiliates the less-priviledged.
