Abstract

Speeches that have certain pragmatic meanings often become obstacles in translation processes because of the absence of acceptable equivalence in target language. Based on the fact, translation does not merely exchange semantic aspects into target language. Translation also diverts pragmatic aspects that are meant in speeches. This study is descriptive and oriented on translation as a cognitive product with the design of embedded case study. The sample was chosen purposively i.e. the imperative verses that contain certain pragmatic meanings. The data used in this study consist of respondent’s comprehension about the imperative verses translation measured by using cloze test. The analysis of this data is to show the degree of readability of the imperative translation verses. Other data cover the words, phrases, and clauses contained in 20 verses of the Quran’s imperatives and their translations. The analysis of this data is to describe the application of translation techniques used in translating the imperative verses. The result shows that the translation of imperative verses has the acceptable degrees of readability. The translation readability presents because of the application of proper translation techniques.
