Kia tau ki a tātou katoa

This karakia is found in the Paipara Tapu (the Māori Bible), used widely all around Aotearoa. The translation of the New Testament into Māori was primarily the work of early missionaries of the Church Missionary Society (CMS), most notably William Williams, who led the translation efforts to produce the first complete Māori New Testament in 1837 and subsequent editions. 2 Corinthians, 13:14
