uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

בַ֣עַר אָנֹכִ֣י מֵ⁠אִ֑ישׁ וְ⁠לֹֽא־בִינַ֖ת אָדָ֣ם לִֽ⁠י

stupid I from=man and=not understanding_of humankind to=me

Agur says these two clauses as extreme statements for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “I feel like I am more stupid than a man, and that the understanding of mankind is not mine”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

[30:2](../30/02.md)–[33](../30/33.md) is a long quotation of what Agur said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate this with quotation marks or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

בַ֣עַר אָנֹכִ֣י מֵ⁠אִ֑ישׁ וְ⁠לֹֽא־בִינַ֖ת אָדָ֣ם לִֽ⁠י

stupid I from=man and=not understanding_of humankind to=me

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than and in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “I am more stupid than a man; indeed, the understanding of mankind in not mine”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מֵ⁠אִ֑ישׁ & אָדָ֣ם

from=man & humankind

In this verse, man refers to people in general, not to a specific man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. Alternate translation: “than any person … any person”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בִינַ֖ת

understanding_of

See how you translated the abstract noun understanding in [1:2](../01/02.md).

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.
