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.

10 Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border! May your hand be with me, and may you keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!"

God granted him that which he requested.
