Note 1 topic: writing-poetry

שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה הֵ֭מָּה נִפְלְא֣וּ מִמֶּ֑⁠נִּי וְ֝אַרְבָּעָ֗ה

three they(emph) wonderful too_~_for,me (Some words not found in UHB: three they(emph) wonderful too_~_for,me and,four not understand,them )

This is poetic language. If your language has a way to indicate poetry, you could use it here. To make a comprehensive statement, Agur is using a rhetorical device in which the speaker names a number that should be sufficient to illustrate his point and then increases that number by one for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar use of Three things and four in [30:15](../30/15.md). Alternate translation: “These four things are absolutely too wonderful for me”
