الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aimed at investigating the most serious problems that translators face when rendering collocation in religious texts namely, the Holy Quran, the Hadith and the Bible in light of the contextual theory.

The study raised the following questions: 1- What problems do graduate students majoring in translation encounter when translating collocations in religious texts? 2- What strategies do they employ in such translations? 3- Are there any differences between the translation of professional translators and that of M.A translation students? To achieve the goals of the study, the researcher selected a purposive sample that comprised 35 students enrolled in the M.A translation programs in Petra, Yarmouk and the University of Jordan.

The researcher also constructed a translation test that consisted of 45 contextually short sentences selected from the above-mentioned three religious texts and distributed as 15 sentences for each religious text.

The results of the study revealed that (i) translators encountered difficulties in lexical and semantic collocations due to ignoring the context.(ii) the strategies used by both students and translators were synonymy, generalization, deletion, paraphrasing and literal translation.(iii) the employed strategies were similar between professional translators and the students which resulted in making the same lexical and contextual errors.

The study concluded that translators of religious texts should be deeply aware of the nature of lexical and metaphoric collocations, the disparities between Arabic concepts and beliefs and Western ones, and always take the context into consideration.
