9 And Jabez was more honoured than his brethren; and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bore him with pain.

10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, Oh that thou wouldest richly bless me, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God brought about what he had requested.

9 Entre lesquelles il y eut Jahbets plus distingué que ses frères; et sa mère lui avait donné le nom de Jahbets, parce que, dit-elle, je l'ai enfanté avec travail.

10 Or Jahbets invoqua le Dieu d'Israël, en disant : Ô! Si tu me bénissais abondamment, et que tu étendisses mes limites, et que ta main fût avec moi, et que tu me garantisses tellement du mal, que je fusse sans douleur. Et Dieu lui accorda ce qu'il avait demandé.
