to ministers to him,

to love the namet of the Lord,

and to be his servants,

all who keep the Sabbathu without desecrating it

and who hold fast to my covenant—

7these I will bring to my holy mountainv

and give them joy in my house of prayer.

Their burnt offerings and sacrificesw

will be accepted on my altar;

for my house will be called

a house of prayer for all nations.x”y

8The Sovereign Lord declares—

he who gathers the exiles of Israel:

“I will gatherz still others to them

besides those already gathered.”

“And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,

to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,

and to be his servants,

everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,

and holds fast my covenant—

these I will bring to my holy mountain,

and make them joyful in my house of prayer;

their burnt offerings and their sacrifices

will be accepted on my altar;

for my house shall be called a house of prayer

for all peoples.”

The Lord God,

As for the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord

to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,

and to become his servants—

all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it

and who hold firmly to my covenant—

I will bring them to my holy mountain

and let them rejoice in my house of prayer.

Their burnt offerings and sacrifices

will be acceptable on my altar,

for my house will be called a house of prayer

for all nations.”

This is the declaration of the Lord God,

who gathers the dispersed of Israel:

“I will gather to them still others

besides those already gathered.”

NLTNew Living Translation

“I will also bless the foreigners who commit themselves to the Lord,

who serve him and love his name,

who worship him and do not desecrate the Sabbath day of rest,

and who hold fast to my covenant.

I will bring them to my holy mountain of Jerusalem

and will fill them with joy in my house of prayer.

I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices,

because my Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations.

For the Sovereign Lord,

who brings back the outcasts of Israel, says:

I will bring others, too,

besides my people Israel.”

And the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh to serve him

and to love the name of Yahweh, to become his servants,

every one who keeps the Sabbath, so as not to profane it,

and those who keep hold of my covenant,

I will bring them to my holy mountain;

I will make them merry in my house of prayer.

their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar,

for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples,”

declares the Lord Yahweh, who gathers the scattered ones of Israel (still I will gather to him, to his gathered ones).

KJV 1900King James Version

Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord,

To serve him, and to love the name of the Lord,

To be his servants,

Every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it,

And taketh hold of my covenant;

Even them will I bring to my holy mountain,

And make them joyful in my house of prayer:

Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar;

For mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

The Lord God which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith,

Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
