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.

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.

Και επεκαλεσθη ο Ιαβης τον Θεον του Ισραηλ, λεγων, Ειθε μετ' ευλογιας να με ευλογησης και να εκτεινης τα ορια μου, και η χειρ σου να ηναι μετ' εμου και να με φυλαττης απο κακου, ωστε να μη εχω λυπην. Και εχαρισεν ο Θεος εις αυτον οσα εζητησε.
