ગુજરાતીનિર્ગમન ૫:૧૪
ફારુનના મુકાદમોએ ઇઝરાયલીઓ પર દેખરેખ માટે જે ઉપરીઓને નિયુક્ત કર્યા હતા તેઓને ખૂબ માર મારીને પૂછવામાં આવતું હતું કે, “જેટલી ઈંટો અત્યાર સુધી તમે પાડતા હતા તેટલાં પ્રમાણમાં અગાઉની માફક કેમ પૂરી કરતા નથી?”
हिन्दीनिर्गमन ५:१४
और इस्राएलियों में से जिन सरदारों को फ़िरौन के परिश्रम करानेवालों ने उनका अधिकारी ठहराया था, उन्होंने मार खाई, और उनसे पूछा गया, “क्या कारण है कि तुम ने अपनी ठहराई हुई ईंटों की गिनती के अनुसार पहले के समान कल और आज पूरी नहीं कराई?”

In context

12So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

13The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”

14The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”

15Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?

16No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
