Kia tau te rangimārie ki a tātou katoa
Kia maimoa ngā mana, ngā reo o tēnā
Kia mauri tau,
Hihiritia te hinengaro
Kia ako, kia hanga kia tohatoha
I roto i ngā mahi katoa
Kia eke pānuku kia eke tangaroa
(Tuturu whakamaua kia tina) tīna
(Haumi e hui e) Taiki e
Let peace transcend upon us all
Let us all cherish one another
Let us be calm
Awaken the mind
To learn, to create, to share
Within everything we do
To inspire and manifest success
Stand strong and true
Join and bind together, let it be done

Time to learn a new karakia for the morning. This is the karakia to start all Manaiakalani hui (meetings) so it is a valuable karakia for us to learn. This is also a waiata. You can listen to the audio and the waiata to help you to learn the karakia.
Whakataka te hau ki te uru. (Cease the winds from the west)
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga. (Cease the winds from the south)
Kia mākinakina ki uta, (Let the breeze blow over the land.)
Kia mātaratara ki tai. (Let the breeze blow over the ocean.)
Kia hī ake ana te atakura, (Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air,)
he tio, he huka, he hauhū (a touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day.)
Tihei mauri ora! (the breath of life)
E te Atua Whakapaingia enei kai
Hei oranga
mo matau tinana
Mo matau wairua hoki
