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.

One of the current challenges of translation is translating of ironic statements from the source language to the target language. In the field oflanguage skills, it is clearto all unique roles of literary arrays especially the imaginative images such as simile, metaphor,metonym and their importancein more influencing on the addressee. However, thetranslation ofphrasesthat have connotations requiresspecialattention. Nowadays translator requires complete mastery of both origin and destination language in the translationformeeting the challengesahead.The sermons of the Nahjul Balaghah are a perfect example of the best literaryinterpretations and artistic imagery that in this article, Wehaveanalyzed five famous Persian translation of Nahjul Balaghah including Dashti, Ayati, Makarem Shirazi, Shahidi and Feyzoleslam translations. In this article, after a brief introduction to the concepts of metonym and translation theories or approaches, we will mention various methods of translation ofironicstatements and compare them together. Then we will study translationinnuendo“the world’’comparatively based onthe abovetranslations. The results show that we can not chooseatranslationto the others absolutely, but we can found partly the reason for the translation of ironic expressions in some versions of other translation. In spite of this, we can say briefly the translators have tended more to semantic and literal translation intranslating of sentences with irony of adjectivedue to thespecific languagetarget languageand they also tend to a literal translation in translation of the irony of noun. Therefore, they have chosenan expressive and suitableequivalent and sometimes there are relatively weak translation for lack of attention tosyntaxandrhetoricalsentence.
