A Review of Some Persian Translations of the Quran Study case: the la al-Nafiya lil-Jins

Offering precise translations of the Quran to other languages including Persian, requires much knowledge about the principles of translation and then application of them as well. One of the linguistic principles in this regard is the translation of the la al-Nafiya lil-Jins as one of the negative structures in Arabic. This structure has been used 112 times in the Quran. It is necessary for every translator to know and apply the difference between this structure and other negative structures in Arabic. In the present paper we have tried to compare 9 Persian translations of the Quran in the way they have translated this structure. Based on the findings of this study the translation of Mr. Rezaie Esfahani with 107 cases of proper translation is in the top and the translation of Mr. Hadad Adel with 19 cases, stands second.
