In the original language, the word that is translated as “repent” or “relent” is the Hebrew expression “to be sorry for.” Being sorry for something does not mean that a change has occurred; it simply means there is regret for something that has taken place.
Katika lugha ya asili, neno lililotafsiriwa kama, “kutubu” au “akapokea” ni usemi Kiebrania kuwa pole. Kuwa pole kwa kitu haina maana kwamba mabadiliko yametokea, ni tu ina maana kuna majuto kwa kitu kwamba imechukua mahali.
