9 Byl pak Jábez slavnější nad bratří své, a matka jeho nazvala jméno jeho Jábez, řkuci: Nebo jsem ho porodila s bolestí.

10 Kterýžto Jábez vzýval Boha Izraelského, řka: Jestliže štědře požehnáš mi, a rozšíříš meze mé, a bude ruka tvá se mnou, a vysvobodíš mne od zlého, abych bolesti netrpěl. I učinil Bůh, začež žádal.

9 And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it be not to my sorrow! And God granted him that which he requested.
