Abstract

This article investigates the relevance of the religious science of Tafsir in the translation of the meanings of the holy Qur`an. The study aims to highlight the significance of exegesis / Tafsir in elucidating the contents of the Qur`an through the analysis of selected translations of Quranic verses which display semantic ambiguity that requires reference to Tafsir for clarification. A qualitative, descriptive, and analytical approach is adopted to highlight the need for exegesis in explaining their meanings. The study provides context and exegesis for each verse according to different sources. Afterward, the English translations of these verses are analyzed and compared to the source text to ensure that the intended meanings, according to the provided exegesis, are considered and preserved in the rendered texts. This study underscores the critical finding that translating the Holy Qur’an requires referring to the most important books of Tafsir to explain and interpret the verses at different levels. This research thus aims to contribute to a deeper understanding that collaboration across various disciplines, mainly Islamic religious and translation studies, is essential to uncover the hidden meanings within the Quranic text.
塔夫西尔和古兰经翻译
本文探讨了宗教科学塔夫西尔在翻译《古兰经》含义方面的相关性。研究旨在通过分析《古兰经》中语义含糊、需要参照塔夫西尔加以澄清的部分经文译文,强调训诂学/塔夫西尔在阐释《古兰经》内容方面的意义。本研究采用了定性、描述和分析的方法,以突出训诂学在解释其含义方面的必要性。本研究根据不同的资料来源提供了每节经文的上下文和注释。随后,对这些经文的英文译文进行了分析,并与原文进行了比较,以确保根据所提供的训诂,译文考虑并保留了原意。本研究强调了一个重要发现,即翻译《古兰经》需要参考最重要的塔夫西尔(Tafsir)书籍,从不同层面解释和诠释经文。因此,本研究旨在帮助人们更深刻地认识到,不同学科(主要是伊斯兰宗教和翻译研究)之间的合作对于揭示《古兰经》文本中隐藏的含义至关重要。
