Translation

Traducción

Even maidservants who are constantly engaged in rendering service to the husband are honored by the husband, and thus they have nothing for which to lament. Our position, however, is that we are maidservants of the maidservant. Therefore we are most unfortunate.

Hasta las sirvientas que se ocupan constantemente en servir al esposo son honradas por él, de forma que no tienen de qué lamentarse. Nosotras, sin embargo, hacemos de sirvientas de la sirvienta; somos enormemente desdichadas.
