uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עַ֤יִן ׀ תִּֽלְעַ֣ג לְ⁠אָב֮

eye mocks at,father

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: “Concerning an eye that mocks a father”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

עַ֤יִן & יִקְּר֥וּ⁠הָ & וְֽ⁠יֹאכְל֥וּ⁠הָ

eye & pecked_out,it & and,eat,it

Although eye here refers to the whole person, it refers to the eyes of that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “A person … will peck that person’s eyes out and … will eat those eyes”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠אָב֮ & אֵ֥ם

at,father & mother_of

Here Agur implies that a father and a mother are the parents of the person who mocks and shows contempt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “that person’s father … to that person’s mother”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

עֹרְבֵי־נַ֑חַל & נָֽשֶׁר

ravens_of valley & vultures

Both the ravens and the vulture refer to large birds that eat dead animals. If your readers would not be familiar with these types of birds, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “birds that scavenge in the valley … other birds that scavenge” or “scavengers … scavengers”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִקְּר֥וּ⁠הָ עֹרְבֵי־נַ֑חַל

pecked_out,it ravens_of valley

Since ravens and vultures usually eat dead animals, Agur implies here that this person will be killed before the birds eat him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “that person will die and the ravens of the valley will peck that person’s eyes out”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

בְנֵי־נָֽשֶׁר

sons_of vultures

Here Agur refers to young vultures as if they were sons from the vulture family. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the young vultures”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
