Timothy Brindle
The Interpreter
Intro: “The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself: and therefore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly.” (Westminster Confession of Faith 1.9)

Verse 1 - Scripture Interprets Scripture

When you search His Word, and it’s meaning at first is blurred
You can turn to other verses to discern and learn
It’s Sure and Firm
The same Spirit who wrote it is the interpreter of His perfect Word!

Ukawerenga mawu komano osawamvetsa
Fanizira ndi ma verse ena kuti umvetsetse
Mawu ndiowona- alibe ma mistake-
Mzimu yemwe anawaremba- amawatanthauziranso- clear clear
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you read Sincerely
But it’s meaning is seemingly hidden so that you’re still grieved and weary
God’s people, hear me:
Please turn to other parts of Holy Scripture that speak more clearly!

Ukadzikhuthula mawu ukumasanthula
Koma tanthauzo ndikukhala ngati likuvuta
Anthu amulungu apa tcherani makutu
Onaninso ndime zina kuti muvetse mwatchutchu
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A supposed contradiction?
Look close what God has written
The problem isn’t Scripture, bro the problem is within men!
- My lying wretched flesh
But His Truthful Words passed His own Character's Lie Detector Test!
Hhm? Mawu khala ngati akuzitsutsa?
Awerengenso bwiinobwino memba
Alibetu chilema- mtima wanga ndwomwe uli ndi matenda
Malemba ali true ngati umunthu wa namalenga
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:

He’s the Interpreter who gives interpretation
Of His perfect works, He took the curse to save men
Opereka tanthauzo yemweyo ndi tanthauzo
La ntchito zake zangwiro, mpulumutsiyo aaah

None have ever seen God the Father - no men
Only Christ - who makes Him known for us to know Him
Palibe anawona Mulungu atate Njee
Koma Khristu- yemwe amatidziwatsa za iye
----------------------------------------------------------

Verse 2 - Jesus Christ: the Interpreter of Redemptive History

Posanthula Malemba tipeza ichi
Lemba lililonse limachokera kwa Jesus (Yesu)
Mabukhu onse 66 amagwirizana
Kuti umvetse Baibulo Yesu ndiye Keys

As we search we will see this, every word is from Jesus
So all 66 books are in perfect agreement
It isn’t hard to see their harmony
To unlock the Bible’s meaning, the Son of God’s the Key
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ukawerenga chi-/ pangano chakale ndi-/
Chabe chitsanzo cha mtima oleza ba-si? (hhu))/
24 ya Luka/ Mawu ndi opatulika/
Yesu ndi tanthauzo la mawu anawaluka!!!
When you read the Old Testament, and turn its pages
Is it just examples for learning patience?
Luke 24 - Christ’s Words are sacred:
Behold - the Author of Scripture’s interpretation!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mabuku amuchipangano chakale- paliponse
Amakamba za imfa ya Yesu ndi kuwuka kwake
Popanda Yesu- mpingo sungamvetse kalikonse
Luke 24 ndi phunziro la m’mene tingatanthauzile mawu ake

So the Law, Psalms, and Prophets - yes, every section
They stress and mention His death and resurrection
Without Jesus, ALAS! the Church is clueless
But Luke 24 is His class on Hermeneutics!
--------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:

Opereka tanthauzo yemweyo ndi tanthauzo
La ntchito zake zangwiro, mpulumutsiyo aaah
He’s the Interpreter who gives interpretation
Of His Perfect Works, He took the Curse to Save Men

Palibe anawona Mulungu atate Njee
Koma Khristu- yemwe amatidziwatsa za iye
None have ever seen God the Father - no men
Only Christ - who makes Him known for us to know Him
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 3 - Pentecost: the Reversal of Babel

As descendants of Adam, every man’s a brother
But after Babel, we can’t understand each other
Because God scattered the nations - confused their tongues
But God will gather through Abram - that is through his son

Ndife pachibale ngati mbumba ya Adamu
Koma after Babulo sitimvana chiyankhulo
Yahweh anawamwaza nkuwapatsa ziyankhulo
Koma kudzera mwa Abramu/ mwana wake adzasokhanitsa
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The precious Cross, Christ died for many lost
Then ascended to pour out the Spirit at Pentecost
When the nations understood each other’s words, they are baffled
-- Thus Pentecost is a reversal of Babel!

Atafera anthu ake khristu anakwera kumwamba
Kukatumiza Mzimu pa tsiku la Pentecosto
Maiko anamvana chiyankhulo anadabwa - ooh no!
Pentecosto ndikutembenuza kwa Babulo
------------------------------------------------------

Claim you’re a Prophet who makes known His Will?
Well, in the O.T., false prophets were stoned and killed!
Receive revelation outside His Perfect Word?
If you could speak in tongues, you’d need an Interpreter!

Your deceitful heart will shout lies to trick ya -
But now the (Holy) Spirit never speaks outside of Scripture
Mtima wanu onyeng’a ‘funa kukusocheretsani
Koma Mzimu sayankhula kunja kwa mawu man

When He returns, unending revelation
We’ll respond, “everything that has breath, let’s praise Him!”
Akadzabwera mpomwe vumbulutso silidzatha
Tidzayankha, “zamoyo zonze zimulemekeze”
-----------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:

He’s the Interpreter who gives interpretation
Of His perfect works, He took the curse to save men
Opereka tanthauzo yemweyo ndi tanthauzo
La ntchito zake zangwiro, mpulumutsiyo aaah

None have ever seen God the Father - no men
Only Christ - who makes Him known for us to know Him
Palibe anawona Mulungu atate Njee
Koma Khristu- yemwe amatidziwatsa za iye
