It is possible to re-punctuate so that we read "Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with me in paradise" (Lk.23:43). Rotherham's Translation does actually place the comma after "today". This beautifully fits the context.
Inawezekana kutenga tena maneno kwa vituo na kuweza kusoma "Amini nakuambia leo hivi, utakuwa pamoja nami peponi" (Luka 23:43).Mnyang’anyi alikuwa anamwomba Yesu amkumbuke kwa wema kwenye siku ya hukumu; alijua ya kwamba alihusika kuhukumiwa, naye atatakiwa pale.
