Isaya 56:3-7
3
Usimwache mgeni aambatanaye na Bwana aseme, “Hakika Bwana atanitenga na watu wake.” Usimwache towashi yeyote alalamike akisema, “Mimi ni mti mkavu tu.”
4
Kwa kuwa hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Kwa matowashi washikao Sabato zangu, ambao huchagua kile kinachonipendeza na kulishika sana agano langu:
5
hao nitawapa ndani ya Hekalu langu na kuta zake kumbukumbu na jina bora kuliko kuwa na watoto wa kiume na wa kike: nitawapa jina lidumulo milele, ambalo halitakatiliwa mbali.
6
Wageni wanaoambatana na Bwana ili kumtumikia, kulipenda jina la Bwana, na kumwabudu yeye, wote washikao Sabato bila kuinajisi na ambao hushika sana agano langu:
7
hawa nitawaleta kwenye mlima wangu mtakatifu na kuwapa furaha ndani ya nyumba yangu ya sala. Sadaka zao za kuteketeza na dhabihu zao zitakubalika juu ya madhabahu yangu; kwa maana nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala kwa mataifa yote.”
