Ary Jabeza niantso an'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely hoe: Enga anie ka hotahinao tokoa aho, ka hohalalahinao ny fari-taniko, ary ho amiko ny tananao, ka harovanao amin'ny ratsy aho, mba tsy hampahory ahy izany. Ary dia nomen'Andriamanitra azy ny nangatahiny.
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
