כִּ֤י

that/for/because/then/when

For here introduces the reason for obeying the command stated in the previous verse. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate reason. Alternate translation: “Stop doing these things because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ֪יץ חָלָ֡ב י֘וֹצִ֤יא חֶמְאָ֗ה וּֽ⁠מִיץ־אַ֭ף י֣וֹצִיא דָ֑ם וּ⁠מִ֥יץ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם י֣וֹצִיא רִֽיב

churning milk produces butter and,pressing also/though produces blood and,pressing anger produces strife

Here, Agur mentions three cause-and-effect relationships in order to teach that doing what he described in the previous verse will have bad results. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile. Alternate translation: “just like the squeezing of milk brings out butter, and the squeezing of the nose brings out blood, and the squeezing of nostrils brings out strife, so does doing these things cause bad things to happen”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

מִ֪יץ חָלָ֡ב י֘וֹצִ֤יא חֶמְאָ֗ה

churning milk produces butter

Here, Agur refers to stirring liquid milk until it thickens into a solid substance called butter. If your readers would not be familiar with milk or the process for making butter, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “stirring some liquids causes them to harden”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠מִ֥יץ אַ֝פַּ֗יִם

and,pressing anger

Here, squeezing of nostrils refers to making people angry. The word nostrils means “anger” by association with the way that a person who is angry breathes heavily through his nose, causing his nostrils to open wide. Your language and culture may also associate anger with a particular part of the body. If so, you could use an expression involving that part of the body in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “and making people foam at the mouth” or “and angering people”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

י֣וֹצִיא רִֽיב

produces produces strife

Here, Agur refers to causing people to argue as if strife were an object that someone brings out. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “causes strife between people”
