Karakia mo te Toki

Māori
Toki nui te toki
Toki roa te toki
Ko te toki nā Tu tēnei toki
Ki te toki nā Rongo

Ueue te mana
Ka hinga te rākau, ka takoto kei roto
Kei ngā mano i runga i raro
Ka pā te toki kei Hawaiiki
Ka patu ka noa
Tēnei te hau o te tonga
Ko te hau mātaratara
Waerea ki runga
Waerea ki raro takoto

Whāno, whāno,
Ara mai te toki

Haumi ē! Hui ē! Tāiki ē!

English
The adze is immense
The adzeis extensive
The adze belongs to Tū & Rongo (Whose powers are linked to humans)
Who posses the adze

The power and might exude from the adze (when the forces of Tū and Tāwhirimātea combine to overcome Tāne)

Sending Tāne plummeting to the ground

Witnessed by the myriads above and below
Bind this adze as it ritualistically impacts in timeless Hawaiiki at its origins
And simmultaneously register in the here and now

There indded is the vital essence personified and cobined in Tū and Tāwhirimātea (That links our mana with the source of all spiritual powers to divine order out of chaos)
So that clarity, light, peace and order prevail above and below, inner and outer. Lie down indeed, ready to be resurrced incarved form.
