Peter writes in 2 Peter 1:20-21 "Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had it's origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."

Scripture is God breathed, it is the Word of God, it is inspired by the Holy Spirit, it is never from the will of men (or church), it is not even the prophet's interpretation, but God's. Are you now going to say that God cannot interpret his own writings?

I don't know the source of your translation, but here's the inter-lineal Greek /literal English text:
