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 Jabez invocou ao Deus de Israel, dizendo: Oxalá que me abençoes, e estendas os meus termos, que a tua mão seja comigo e me preserves do mal, de modo que não me sobrevenha tristeza! Deus concedeu-lhe o que lhe tinha pedido.
