The main objective of the paper <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">consists in investigating sacred texts as the object of translation studied in accordance with the communicative and translational aspects. The results of the carried-out research have proved that there exist common strategies and techniques <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">of interpreting and rendering religious texts.

The subject is the unique nature of sacred texts with their immanent features (coherence, cohesion and intertextuality). The immediate tasks <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">of the article have been predetermined by the above-mentioned objective and include respectively: the disclosure of the specifics of sacred text; the outline of the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">typologically common strategies and tactics of translating sacred texts.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The methodology of this research involved the inductive and deductive methods, the method of contrastive analysis and ethnic methodological conversation <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">analysis. In the course of the research it has been concluded and experimentally <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">and statistically proved that there exist common strategies and tactics of translating <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">sacred texts into different languages.
