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 Иавис был знаменитее своих братьев. Мать дала ему имя Иавис, сказав: я родила его с болезнью.

10 И воззвал Иавис к Богу Израилеву [и] сказал: о, если бы Ты благословил меня Твоим благословением, распространил пределы мои, и рука Твоя была со мною, охраняя [меня] от зла, чтобы я не горевал!.. И Бог ниспослал [ему], чего он просил.
