Māori Oi ka tākina i te kawa Ko te kawa nui Ko te kawa tapu Ko te kawa tua ngāhuru mā whā Ko te kawa waerea Ko te kawa houhou Ki ā Papatūānuku Ki ā Papa-Ahurewa Ki ā Papa-i-te-Aro-Mea Tū ai te kawa Owhia te kawa Kia Tū rau ki te pūkenga tapu i hau noa mai i Hawaiiki
Eke panuku, Eke tangaroa Whano, whano Haramai te toki Haumi e, hui e Tāiki e!!
English I commence to settle a foundation A great one A continuous one A sacred one I draw forward the covenant fourteen The ritual of clearing The ritual of refreshing The purity of Earth mother She the eternal shrine She, the most creative Behind this covenant Awaken this covenant That one may be one hundred The supreme spirit of Hawaiiki Move forward with intention Draw together - surge forward As I draw my sacred adze By my power I gather you all Arise. For it has been accomplished.
