The Ideology in the English-Indonesian Translation of Imperative Utterances in Al-Quran Surah Al-Baqarah

This research examines the English-Indonesian translations of imperative utterances in Al-Quran Surah Al-Baqarah, focusing on the themes, the translation techniques, and translation ideologies. Employing qualitative methods and discourse analysis, 30 imperative utterances were examined to investigate the relation between linguistic fidelity and cultural adaptation. The common themes found in the imperative utterances of Al-Quran Surah Al-Baqarah are obedience to Allah, manifested through Obedience and Worship of Allah; Social Responsibility and Ethical Conduct; Dietary and Behavioral Guidance; Economic Justice; and Personal Accountability and Striving in Faith. The study breaks down four principal translation techniques: literal translation, adaptation, communicative translation, and transference. The study also demonstrated the close connection between domestication and foreignization, emphasizing their impact on the clarity and religious accuracy of the translations. The results indicate the necessity of incorporating various methodologies to guarantee that Quranic translations are accurate and pertinent to intended audiences.
