There are various emphatic devices in the holy Qur'an, like oath that used in various forms. "Lā ̕qsem-o" is the most controversial structure. Study of this structure as a syntactic- emphatic device in Qur'an translation reveals their unbalanced equivalents based on existing theories of translation science. Because of the position of this structure in source language, its assessment based on House Textual Theory can lead to their precise translation. The most likely chosen interpretional theories by most of translators are considering "Lā" as additional letter and "̕qsem-o" as oath or the whole of "Lā ̕qsem-o" structure as one of oath methods. In real the equivalents of most of translators is according to these interpretional theories. As general, despite lexical balance, the major imperfection and weakness of majority of translators equivalents with various interpretational attitude is unbalanced grammar translation of "Lā ̕qsem-o" i.e. not finding emphatic equivalent to "̕qsem-o" itself. Though felicitous miracle of the Qur'an, linguistics differentiates and the translator role, himself, have effective role about balanced or unbalanced translation of this structure, but based on linguistic position of this structure in source language, it is possible to translate this structure, equivalent by using House overt translation method and "I do swear by".
