Translation of "contrition" into Swahili

Their heartfelt contrition did not escape Jehovah’s notice.

Yehova alitambua toba yao ya kweli.

Job manifested a contrite spirit, saying: “I make a retraction, and I do repent in dust and ashes.”—Job 42:6.

Yobu alionyesha majuto, akisema: “Najichukia nafsi yangu, na kutubu katika mavumbi na majivu.”—Ayubu 42:6.

Repentant ones need not feel that they are beyond Jehovah’s mercy, for he does not reject a contrite heart.

Wenye kutubu hawapaswi kuhisi kuwa hawawezi kupata rehema ya Yehova, kwa sababu yeye haukatai moyo wenye huzuni.
