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.

10 A i karanga a Tapete ki te Atua o Iharaira, i mea, Aue! me i pono rawa tau manaaki moku, me i whakanuia e koe te wahi moku, kia tata mai ano hoki tou ringa ki ahau, kia araia atu hoki e koe te kino i ahau, kei mamae toku ngakau! Na ka homai e te Atua tana i inoi ai.
