Examining the Translation of Munajat Sha’baniyah Based on House’s Model and Using Translations of the Holy Qur’ān

Despite extensive scholarship on texts such as Munajat Sha’baniyah, a systematic translation into a widely spoken international language remains absent. This study seeks to provide an accurate translation of key phrases, particularly those that parallel expressions found in the Holy Qur’an. Employing a qualitative analytical-documentary approach, the research evaluates existing translations using Juliane House’s (۱۹۹۷) theoretical model for translation quality. The original Munajat Sha'baniyah is analyzed within House’s framework, alongside a potentially machine-generated translation, with particular attention to the dimensions of field, mode, and tenor. Based on this analysis, the researcher produces a new translation, informed by various Qur’anic renditions, which is subsequently assessed using the same criteria. The findings highlight significant discrepancies in field, mode, and tenor between the machine translation and the researcher’s version, emphasizing the limitations of current machine translation technologies in handling complex religious texts.
