E āku rangatahi o te wharenui o Ōrua Paeroa, me ō kōutou whānau, nei rā te mihi kau ana ki a koutou katoa. He mihi hoki ki a rātou kua ngaro ki te pō, haere atu rā, ki a tātou e noho ana i tēnei ao, tēnā tātou katoa.
Nei rā te tīmatanga o tō mātou pae tukutuku mō ngā akomanga reo Māori, i tēnei wā e noho haumaru ana tātou.
Kia ora and welcome to the learning site for all things Māori at Mairehau. You will find plenty of resources to guide you in your reo Māori journey - including karakia, waiata, haka, kupu hou, waihanga rerenga and many more tools to add to your kete.
Karakia for class
Karakia timatanga (Opening karakia)
Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai
E hi ake ana te atakura
He tio, he huka, he hau hū
Tihei! Mauri ora!
Karakia whakamutunga (Closing karakia)
Kia tau
Ki a tātou katoa
Te atawhai o tātou ariki a Ihu Karaiti
Me te aroha o te atua
Me te whiwhingatahitanga
Ki te wairua tapu
Ake, ake, ake
Amine

Karakia before food
E rongo, e rongo
Hōmai ngā tipu
Hei whakakī te tinana
Hei oranga
Au heke, au heke
Hui e, taiki e!
Kia ora
Kei te pehea koe?
Haere mai!
Ka pai!
He tika!
E tū mō te karakia
E noho
Titiro mai
Whakarongo mai
Ka kite!
He pātai?
