چکیده:
This article is dedicated to a precise and word-for-word comparison of seven versions of translations of Nahj al-Balagha. In addition, through this comparison, we understand the style and expression of each translator. We also find the translators' accuracy and meticulousness in choosing the closest equivalent words from the Persian language. The most prominent feature of the original version (Dr. Shahid's translation version) is observing conciseness and rhyming prose in the translated phrases. To prove this opinion, the number of words used in the translation of a phrase was counted in seven versions to show that the number of words in some versions is even more than twice that of other versions. With this comparison, we found that there are also differences in the Arabic text in terms of diacritics or moving words forward and backward. It should be noted that the translators were selected from two groups: religious scholars and academics, and the type of words and the style and expression of each group and spectrum are directly related to their scientific backgrounds and educational background.

259) (Total of 25 words) – Translation of the version of Hajj Mulla Saleh Qazvini: “So, oh wonder, what a wonder that I swear by God, it kills the heart and draws sorrow and grief from the gathering of the tribe (Muawiyah) on their falsehood, and your division and disagreement from your right – meaning they are united and agreed upon supporting falsehood, and you are divided and dispersed in supporting the truth.
“So when you were fleeing from heat and cold, then by God you swear you are more averse to the swords of enemies, for it is clear that killing and raiding are harder for a man than the intensity of har and bard” (version Fat) ـ In version 'Sh,' once again, observing the side of brevity, it is stated: “You who flee from heat and cold, how will you fight with a drawn sword?” The martyr professor has noted that the use of the expression 'Wallah' in many cases comes to emphasize and confirm the speaker's opinion or to better convey the intended meanings to the listener.
