UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

צְרוּפָ֑ה

flawless

Here Agur attests to the truth of the words of God by using a metaphor. He speaks of God's words as if his sayings were metal that someone had melted and from which the refining process had removed the "dross," or unwanted material. See how you translated the phrase “refined gold” in 8:19. Alternate translation: “is tested and proven to be true”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מָגֵ֥ן ה֝֗וּא

shield he/it

Here, Agur speaks of God protecting people as if he were a shield. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he is a protector”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לַֽ⁠חֹסִ֥ים בּֽ⁠וֹ

to_those,take_refuge in/on/over=him/it

Here, Agur speaks of people trusting God to protect them as if he were a shelter in which people take refuge. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for those who rely on him to protect them”
