E maliu mai i nēia leo pule–
He leo haʻahaʻa,
A he leo hoʻomaikaʻi nō hoʻi;
E mālama mai iā mākou a palekana A puka i ke ao mālamalama.
A puka!
Take heed, oh eyes of the heavens,
Listen with favor to this prayerful voice–
A humble voice,
A grateful voice indeed;
Tend to us with protection
So that we might emerge forth into light.
Emerge!
This general prayer of gratitude is intended to be acceptable by people of broad ranges of faith in seeking blessings of protection and enlightenment.
