Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

ગુજરાતીનિર્ગમન ૧૪:૧૨
અમે મિસરમાં જ તને નહોતું કહ્યું કે, ‘અમને લોકોને અમે જેમ છીએ તેમ રહેવા દે, મિસરવાસીઓની સેવા કરવા દે? અમારે માટે અહીં અરણ્યમાં મરવા કરતાં મિસરવાસીઓની ગુલામી કરવી એ વધારે સારું હતું.”
हिन्दीनिर्गमन १४:१२
क्या हम तुझ से मिस्र में यही बात न कहते रहे, कि हमें रहने दे कि हम मिस्रियों की सेवा करें? हमारे लिये जंगल में मरने से मिस्रियों कि सेवा करनी अच्छी थी।”

In context

10When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to the LORD.

11They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?

12Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”

13Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.

14The LORD will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
