¿No es esto lo que te hablamos en Egipto, diciendo: Déjanos servir a los Egipcios? Que mejor nos fuera servir a los Egipcios, que morir nosotros en el desierto.
¿No es esto lo que te dijimos en Egipto: “Déjanos para que sirvamos a los egipcios”? Pues mejor nos habría sido servir a los egipcios que morir en el desierto».

Non è egli ciò che noi ti dicevamo in Egitto, dicendo: Lasciaci stare, che serviamo agli Egizj? perciocchè meglio era per noi di servire agli Egizj, che di morir nel deserto.
Não é esta a palavra que te falamos no Egito, dizendo: Deixa-nos, que sirvamos aos egípcios? Pois que melhor nos fora servir aos egípcios, do que morrermos no deserto.
