KARAKIA TIMATANGA

Whakatuwheratia mai te kuaha

Whakatuwheratia mai te kuaha,

o te pono, o te tika, o te matauranga, me te aroha.

A ma matou e whakamoemiti

e whakakororiatia tou ingoa tapu

ake, ake, ake

Amine

Open the door

of truth, righteousness, of knowledge and love

through us, we are praising

glory to your name

forever and ever

Amen

Whakataka te hau ki te uru

Whakataka te hau ki te uru,

Whakataka te hau ki te tonga

Kia makinakina ki uta

Kia mataratara ki tae

E hi ake ana te atakura

He tio, he huka he hauhunga

Tihei Mauri Ora

Cease the winds from the West

Cease the winds from the South

Let the breezes blow over the land

Let the breezes blow over the ocean

Let the red-tipped dawn come

With a sharpened air, a touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day

Behold the breath of life

Whiti ora ki te whei ao

(http://www.cybersoul.co.nz/tauihu/karakia.html)

Cross over to life in the changing world

in the world of light and understanding.

Cross upwards, cross downwards.

Turn to the rock

turn to the tree

leaning to this side

leaning to that side.

He honore, he kororia ki te Atua

He honore, he kororia ki te Atua

He maungarongo ki te whenua

He whakaaro pai ki nga tangata katoa

Hanga e te Atua, he ngakau hou

Ki roto, ki tena, ki tena matou

Whakatongia to wairua tapu

He awhina, hei tohutohu i a matou

Hei ako hoki i nga mahi i tenei ra

Amine

All honour and glory to God

Let there be peace on earth and tranquility

Goodwill to all people

Amen

KARAKIA WHAKAMUTUNGA

Kia tau, ki a tätou katoa

Kia tau, ki a tätou katoa

Te atawhai o tö tätou Ariki a Ihu Karaiti

Me te aroha o te Atua

Me te whiwhingatahitanga ki te wairua tapu

Amine.

May we all join peacefully

Through the love and support of our Lord, Jesus Christ

and the love of God

and the unity as one through the holy spirit

Amen

KARAKIA MO TE KAI

Whakapaingia ēnei kai

E te Atua

Whakapaingia ēnei kai

Hei oranga mō o mātou tinana

Whangaia o mātou wairua

Ki te tara o te ora

Ko Ihu Karaiti

Hoki to matou kai whakaora

For our physical well being

Also feed our spirits

Amen

E tö mätou matua

We turn to you

To express our thanks for this food

KARAKIA A TE ATUA (The Lord's Prayer)

E to matou matua i te rangi

Kia tapu tou ingoa

Kia tae mai tou rangatiratanga

Kia meatia tau e pai ai

Ki runga ki te whenua

Kia rite ano ki to te rangi

Homai ki a matou aianei

He taro ma matou mo tenei ra

Murua o matou hara

Me matou hoki e muru nei

I o te hunga e hara ana

Ki a matou

Aua hoki matou e kawea kia whakawaia

Engari whakaorangia matou i te kino

Nau hoki te rangatiratanga te kaha me te kororia

Ake, ake ake

Amine

Our Father which art in Heaven

Hallowed by Thy name

Thy Kingdom come

Thy will be done

In Earth

As it is in Heaven

Give us this day

Our daily bread

Forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive

Those who trespass

Against us

Lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from Evil

The strength and the glory

Forever and ever

Amen

Karakia / Blessing to set up our day.

Written by Patrick Gemmell for Pt England School

Ki ngā hau o ngā rangi mai tawhiti

E rere iho nei ki te moana

Kawea nei i o mātou whakaaro

Hei whetū mārama

Mo ngā mahi kei te whai mai.

Kōkiri tōku hāere

I te ao e, i te ao e …

To the prevailing wind which ascend from afar

Toward a coastal tide

Carry with you our inner thoughts

Imprint them among the heavens, as a guiding constellation

For the tasks ahead

To strengthen my journey

Each day, each day …
