uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἰπόντες τῷ Ἀαρών, ποίησον ἡμῖν θεοὺς οἳ προπορεύσονται ἡμῶν. ὁ γὰρ Μωϋσῆς οὗτος, ὃς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ἐγένετο αὐτῷ

˓having˒_said ¬the ˱to˲_Aaron (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰπόντες τῷ Ἀαρών Ποίησον ἡμῖν θεούς οἵ προπορεύσονται ἡμῶν ὁ Γάρ Μωϋσῆς οὗτος ὅς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμάς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ἐγένετο αὐτῷ)

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [They asked Aaron to make gods for them who would go ahead of them, because they did not know what had happened to Moses, who had brought them from the land of Egypt]

εἰπόντες τῷ Ἀαρών

˓having˒_said ¬the ˱to˲_Aaron

It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [They said to Aaron]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

ὁ γὰρ Μωϋσῆς οὗτος, ὃς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ἐγένετο αὐτῷ

¬the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰπόντες τῷ Ἀαρών Ποίησον ἡμῖν θεούς οἵ προπορεύσονται ἡμῶν ὁ Γάρ Μωϋσῆς οὗτος ὅς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμάς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ἐγένετο αὐτῷ)

It may be more natural to put the information about Moses at the end of the sentence. Alternate translation: [For we do not know what has happened to this Moses who brought us from the land of Egypt]
