I am not sure what you are asking, but the LXX appears to capture well the 
flavor of
the Hebrew text.  EPISTPEYIS can mean turn around, return, or repent, even 
turn the
mind toward.  APOKATASTHSW can mean return to a former position or bring back 
to a
point,  a restoration.  Like the Hebrew of Jeremiah, "tashuv wa'ashivkha," I 
think
both carry the sense:
"If you repent, I will restore you." (NIV)
