Al-Faraj Bad al-Shedda is one of the narrative works that revives a huge part of ancient popular culture and literature. This book contains many popular stories in the form of fourteen chapters, in which more than two hundred life stories of trapped people are depicted in the form of stories with moral themes. Dehestani has a high reputation for his translation of Al-Faraj Bad al-Shedda. Today, with the expansion of translation studies, translation criticism aims to evaluate the translation compared to the original text and measure its quality, as well as find out how the translator works in translation. One of the appropriate models of translation criticism is Katarina Rice's model, which has been less studied by researchers. Considering the comprehensiveness of translation criticism techniques in Katarina Rice's model compared to other translation models, the present research can provide a comprehensive analysis of the Persian translation of the book Al-Farj after Al-Shada from two linguistic and meta-linguistic perspectives, while applying Rice's model; Because the structural difference of the two languages is definitely significant and undeniable in the translation process, and this issue can be useful in translation research and linguistic studies. Considering the volume of the book, its first chapter was examined as the body of the research. The result of the research showed that Dehestani's translation is an adapted translation of " Al-Faraj Bad al-Shedda".

Jean-Rene Ladmiral, a well-known French theorist, considers components to face translation problems which should be announced and respected by the translator. This target-oriented theorist believes that limiting translation to simple encoding is not correct and paraphrasing should accompany translation. In this case, the translator will produce meaning or new creation. The following query by the use of descriptive-analytical method tries to review the translation of Tasouji from basic story of "Thousand and One Nights" according to the applicable theory of Ladmiral that will evaluate translator's performance in the translation of source text. By accepting this principle that the most suitable method for translating the book of "Thousand and One Nights" is target-oriented and free one that pays attention to the meaning and sense rather than vocabularies and phrases, Writers of this article consider Ladmiral theory as the most congruous theory with this principle. Therefore, they have used Ladmiral nominated components as the basic standard to review and evaluate Strengths and weaknesses of Tasouji Translation. The result of the study indicates that Tasouji translation has considerable alignment with Ladmiral theory and translator could create beautiful artwork which is in accordance with the cultural context of target language while considering recreation and producing sense as well.

One of the most important issues in the process of translation is achieving balance and equality in translation which this will be done through the study of various aspects of the source languageand one of the most important fields of research in translational balance is lexical equality. However, it is not fully accessible between the source and target language due to various linguistic possibilities.But the translator must try as far as possible to provide precise lexical equivalents. One of the ways to achieve the equality of words in the process of translation is paying attention to different layers of meanings of the words and phenomena such as the comprehensive of meaning and Polysemy and context of the word and position of words.Therefore, we can get the correct translation of wordsin addition to recognizing the semantic field of wordswith term equal division into five parts.These five types are:one to one equality, one to several equality, several to one equality, one to component equality and one to zero equality. In this study, we want to study comparatively five Persian translation of the sermon of Nahj ul-balagha including translations of Dashti, Shahidi, Feiz ul-Islam and Jafari and we measure the success of mentioned translators in realization of lexical equality.The result of research shows that some translators couldn't provide an accurate translation due to lack of awareness of the different layers of words meaningand lack sufficient knowledge of some semantic components such as the phenomenon of polysemy and absolute and relative meaning of the words.
