11 Todos os servos do rei e o povo das províncias do rei sabem que, para qualquer homem ou mulher que, sem ser chamado, entrar no pátio interior para avistar-se com o rei, não há senão uma sentença, a de morte, salvo se o rei estender para ele o cetro de ouro, para que viva; e eu, nestes trinta dias, não fui chamada para entrar ao rei.

11 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

11 "All the king's officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king."
