Interpreter's Workshop 传译员工作坊


The ministry of interpretation
1.       Call of God – Salvation, Sanctification, Service
2.       Gifts of Christ (Eph 4: 7, 11-13) – to build up the church (to build the body of Christ)
3.       Empowering of the Holy Spirit (1 Co 2: 3-5)

Isa 50: 4
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.
主耶和华赐我受教者的舌头,使我知道怎样用言语扶助疲乏的人。主每早晨提醒,提醒我的耳朵,使我能听,像受教者一样。

HUMILITY
·         God asks me sit down there and learn especially when I think that I am very good

It is not for self-gratification
·         All the more you have to humble yourself
·         If you are proud, you are plagiarizing, steeling the glory from God

It is not for financial gain
·         Therefore I have not interpreted outside the context of church. Not for financial/commercial purpose because if I am interpreting for a bad person, I am also a bad person myself.

Words of reminder/encouragement

·         I am also the second speaker
·         Therefore we do not take this calling lightly
·         If I am interpreting for a teacher/prophet, I am also a prophet/teacher
·         Not so much about the WORDS but the WORK of the Holy Spirit
·         传译不是讲解。Therefore the point of reference the time/sentences should not be longer than the speaker.
·         Understand the message and interpret the gist. Then you will be natural.
