The sample was 35 students taken by cluster random sampling technique. The instruments in collecting the data were questionnaire and test. The questionnaire was used to collect the data of students motivation; while the objectives test was used to collect the data of students vocabulary and students translation. The techniques which were used to analyze the data were Single Correlation and Multiple Correlation. The results of the data analysis show that in the level of significance α = 0.05 (1) there is a positive correlation between students motivation and students translation (r x1y = > r t = 0.334); (2) there is a positive correlation between students vocabulary and students translation (r x2y = > r t = 0.334); and (3) there is a positive correlation between students motivation, students vocabulary, and students translation (R y12 = 0.63 and F o = > F t = 3.35). Based on the result of the study, it can be implied that motivation and vocabulary are important factors that give contribution to students translation. Both motivation and vocabulary have positive contribution in translation, it is 55.65%. Therefore, students motivation and students vocabulary should be considered in increasing students translation, although the factors are not only come from those variables.
