OET (OET-RV) Isn’t this exactly what we told you in Egypt when we said, ‘Just leave us alone and let us serve the Egyptians’? Because serving the Egyptians sounds a lot better to us than dying out here in the wilderness.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲלֹא־זֶ֣ה הַדָּבָ֗ר אֲשֶׁר֩ דִּבַּ֨רְנוּ אֵלֶ֤יךָ בְמִצְרַ֨יִם֙
?,not this the,word which/who spoke to,you in/on/at/with,Egypt
The Israelites ask this question to emphasize that this is what they had told Moses. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [This is exactly what we told you while we were in Egypt]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
בְמִצְרַ֨יִם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר חֲדַ֥ל מִמֶּ֖נּוּ וְנַֽעַבְדָ֣ה אֶת־מִצְרָ֑יִם
in/on/at/with,Egypt to=say let_~_alone from=him/it and,serve DOM from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt))s
If it would be more natural in your language, you could express the portion following saying as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [in Egypt? We told you to leave us alone so we could serve the Egyptians.]
14:5-14 Because there was no real repentance on the part of Pharaoh and his officials, once the immediate terror of their experience had worn off, their self-interest reasserted itself and they determined to recapture their slave labor.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
