Selecting appropriate equivalence in translation is an essential and sensitive process that requires the translator's high precision and mastery of both source and target languages. Seyyed Jafar Shahidi's translation of the Nahj Al-Balaghah, according to many experts, is one of the best translations of this book so far. This translation was introduced as the selected book of the year in 1990, and many scientific and literary societies have praised it. In this research, the authors chose the translation of the Qasea sermon from this book, compared it with its Arabic text based on the text-oriented approach, and analyzed it on two levels of lexical and textual context. The findings of this research show that, despite many efforts that have been made in the translation of this precious book, and despite all the beauty and elegance used in it, it seems that Shahidi in selecting equals for referential meaning as well as the contextual and textual meaning of some words has not been very precise.

Imam Ali`s (a) speeches in the letters of Nahj al-Balaghah include a lot of explanatory fashions; however, translators in most cases have used limited words facing such a vast variety of explanatory words of the main text and, in some cases, have used only a small number of the explanatories to prevent these limited words from being repeated. As explanation is one of the methods for convincing the addressee, it is necessary for translations to be of the same extent of explanatory fashions as the main text and to avoid repeating limited words. Using descriptive and analytical method and studying Jowayni, Kashani, Feiz al-Islam, Emami and Ashtiyani, Shahidi and Dashti`s translations, the paper has found that equality of explanatory fashions in older translations is more satisfying than those in the newer. Later translators have reflected the explanatory fashions only to the degree that the whole structure of the speech be not exposed to the frequency of explanatory words; while variety of explanatory words in Farsi and explanatory meaning of some Arabic explanatory fashions in Farsi has prepared the ground for this equality in the field.
