Nahj al-Balaghah is one of the most important and authentic religious sources that has come to the fore of knowledge and bounty since its creation. Several translators have been devoted to explaining this valuable masterpiece by Amir al-Mu'minin (AS). But the question is, how far have these translations been able to introduce and transmit the miracle, power, and acceptance of the Amir's words to the Persian language community in the best way? The present study was conducted by descriptive-analytical method with the aim of evaluating the quality of translation from Nahj al-Balaghah by Mohammad Dashti. Among the various patterns of translation quality assessment, the Garcias model, which is relatively more comprehensive than the other proposed models, is considered as a research framework. This model includes four levels of lexical semantics, syntactic, cognitive, discursive-functional, and cognitive (practical) style. Each of these levels has subcategories and specific components whose translations are evaluated based on them. In this research, the translation of the first Khotbeh and the Hekamts one to twenty from the so-called translator are selected and evaluated for qualitative evaluation. After determining the abundance of each subgroup in the quadric levels according to the Garcias model, the results are plotted. The result of the evaluation based on the positive, negative and neutral techniques indicates that the translation of the plain has a criterion of acceptability and is of high quality.

This research aims at studying and criticizing Mohammad Dashtee’s selections in his translation from Nahjolbalaghe according to meaning and terminology level of Garces translation assessment. For this purpose, Garces thesis has been introduced, then the elements that were applicable to Dashtee’s translation had been explained in details. The main findings of this research based on analytical-descriptive approach show that Dashtee in his lexical selecting is relying usually on the lexical extension at different models and above all on interpretive and ideological explanation. He has removed lexical ambiguities of Emam Ali’s speech or interpreted them according to his opinion, and tried not to be any ambiguous words in his work.
