OET (OET-RV) Also, tell the people that because they wept in my hearing about not having meat to eat like you all did in Egypt, they must purify themselves for tomorrow, because I’ll provide meat for you all to eat.

וְאֶל־הָעָ֨ם תֹּאמַ֜ר הִתְקַדְּשׁ֣וּ לְמָחָר֮ וַאֲכַלְתֶּ֣ם בָּשָׂר֒ כִּ֡י בְּכִיתֶם֩ בְּאָזְנֵ֨י יְהוָ֜ה לֵאמֹ֗ר מִ֤י יַאֲכִלֵ֨נוּ֙ בָּשָׂ֔ר כִּי־ט֥וֹב לָ֖נוּ בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם וְנָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֥ה לָכֶ֛ם בָּשָׂ֖ר וַאֲכַלְתֶּֽם
and=near/to the,people say consecrate for,tomorrow and,you(pl)_will_eat flesh/meat that/for/because/then/when wept in,the_ears_of YHWH to=say who? will,he_cause_us_to_eat flesh/meat that/for/because/then/when good to/for=us in,Egypt and=he/it_gave YHWH to/for=you(pl) flesh/meat and,you(pl)_will_eat
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [And you shall say to the people that they must consecrate themselves for tomorrow, and they shall eat flesh, for they wept in my ears, asking who would feed them flesh and declaring that it was good for them in Egypt. Say to them that I shall give to them flesh, and they shall eat.]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
הִתְקַדְּשׁ֣וּ לְמָחָר֮ וַאֲכַלְתֶּ֣ם בָּשָׂר֒ כִּ֡י בְּכִיתֶם֩ בְּאָזְנֵ֨י יְהוָ֜ה לֵאמֹ֗ר מִ֤י יַאֲכִלֵ֨נוּ֙ בָּשָׂ֔ר כִּי־ט֥וֹב לָ֖נוּ בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם וְנָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֥ה לָכֶ֛ם בָּשָׂ֖ר וַאֲכַלְתֶּֽם
consecrate for,tomorrow and,you(pl)_will_eat flesh/meat that/for/because/then/when wept in,the_ears_of YHWH to=say who? will,he_cause_us_to_eat flesh/meat that/for/because/then/when good to/for=us in,Egypt and=he/it_gave YHWH to/for=you(pl) flesh/meat and,you(pl)_will_eat
If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about you shall eat flesh with the information about Yahweh shall give to you flesh, since these are related events that are separated by the reason For you wept in the ears of Yahweh. Alternate translation: [Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and Yahweh shall give to you flesh, and you shall eat it. For you wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Who will feed us flesh? For it was good for us in Egypt.”]

הִתְקַדְּשׁ֣וּ לְמָחָר֮ וַאֲכַלְתֶּ֣ם בָּשָׂר֒ כִּ֡י בְּכִיתֶם֩ בְּאָזְנֵ֨י יְהוָ֜ה לֵאמֹ֗ר מִ֤י יַאֲכִלֵ֨נוּ֙ בָּשָׂ֔ר כִּי־ט֥וֹב לָ֖נוּ בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since For you wept in the ears of Yahweh gives the reason for the result that consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh describes. Alternate translation: [You wept in the ears of Yahweh, saying, “Who will feed us flesh? For it was good for us in Egypt.” So, consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat flesh.]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּאָזְנֵ֨י יְהוָ֜ה
in,the_ears_of YHWH
Here, in the ears of represents that Yahweh heard what the people said. See how you translated this phrase in [11:1](../11/01.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [while Yahweh could hear]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מִ֤י יַאֲכִלֵ֨נוּ֙ בָּשָׂ֔ר
who? will,he_cause_us_to_eat flesh/meat
The Israelites are using the question form to express their strong desire for meat to eat. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [If only someone would feed us flesh!]
Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
כִּי־ט֥וֹב
that/for/because/then/when good
The word translated as For indicates that what follows is the reason why they asked the question. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [We ask that because it used to be]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
וְנָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֥ה לָכֶ֛ם בָּשָׂ֖ר וַאֲכַלְתֶּֽם
and=he/it_gave YHWH to/for=you(pl) flesh/meat and,you(pl)_will_eat
It might seem that the expression Yahweh shall give to you flesh, and you shall eat contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language since Yahweh has already said that they will eat flesh. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [And Yahweh shall give to you flesh]

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.
