UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youformal

מֵ⁠אִתָּ֑⁠ךְ

from,with,you

If your language has a formal form of you that it uses to address a superior respectfully, you may wish to use that form for you. Alternatively, it might be more appropriate in your culture to address God using a familiar form, such as friends would use with one another. Use your best judgment about which form to use.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

אַל־תִּמְנַ֥ע

not deny

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “please do not withhold”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אַל־תִּמְנַ֥ע

not deny

Agur is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “do not withhold these two things I am asking for”
