9 And Jabez was honoured more than his brothers; but his mother had given him the name Jabez, saying, Because I gave birth to him with sorrow.

10 And Jabez made a prayer to the God of Israel, saying, If only you would truly give me a blessing, and make wider the limits of my land, and let your hand be with me, and keep me from evil, so that I may not be troubled by it! And God gave him his desire.

9 雅比斯在众兄弟中最受人尊重， 他母亲给他起名叫雅比斯， 意思说： "我生产时十分痛苦。"

10 雅比斯呼求以色列的 神说： "深愿你大大地赐福给我， 扩张我的境界， 你的能力常与我同在， 保护我免遭灾祸， 不受痛苦。" 神就应允了他所求的。
