A controversial aspect, however, goes to the methods and procedures applied in the translations of sacred texts such as The Quran or The Bible. The underlying reason for such debate might go back to the sensitivity of such texts. As an example, the French humanist Dolet was burned at the stake after being accused of blasphemy and condemned by the theological faculty of the Sorbonne University in 1546. The same happened to Tvndale and Wycliffe's works which were banned. Moreover, many other sad endings happened during the history of sacred text translation (as cited in Munday, 2008, p. 23).

The social contract model of justice assumed that there would be justice when people acting as rational agents accepted basic practices of society that would assure their mutual advantage in the long run. The impartiality or fairness model of justice, suggests the recognition of the intrinsic worth of people as entities deserving of respect, whose interests should be maintained in the interest of the overall common good. How do these theories apply to the African condition? These issues will be the thrust of this paper as we argue that the two models are not enough in solving the multifarious problems that Africa finds herself. These will be examined succinctly in arguing for the latent solution towards a sustainable social order that considers and puts everyone and the society towards attaining justice and development.

Translation studies have become a noteworthy movement during the past thirty years. Since translation is a newly-born academic major, there is no translation theory that all translators can apply in their own practices, so translation studies have been controversial from various viewpoints, such as the debate on what constitutes a good translation (Matrat, 1992 as cited in Iida, 2008).
