Karakia Timatatanga

Nō wai te winiwini,

Nō wai te wanawana,

Nō wai te mātauranga o te whare tū taua e!

Nō ahau ano e tu e uru mai ki ahau tautauira

Ka puta ai te maramatanga ki te mau taiaha

Ki te hopu tangata

Ki te patu hoariri

Ki te tu parekura

Ka puta ki te whai ao ki te ao marama Hui e, Tāiki e!

Derived from Tumatauenga and given to the world of Man comes the knowledge of Power and Fear. It is I your student O God of War, who evokes your knowledge of Taiaha, of the Patu, and of the Parekura. All that which hath entered the world of light and understanding. O harken to the breath of life.

Karakia Whakamutunga

Kia tau ngā manaakitanga a te mea ngaro

ki runga ki tēnā, ki tēnā o tātou

Kia mahea te hua mākihikihi

kia toi te kupu, toi te mana, toi te aroha, toi te Reo Māori

kia tūturu, ka whakamaua kia tīna! Tīna!

Hui e, Tāiki e!

Let the strength and life force of our ancestors

Be with each and every one of us

Freeing our path from obstruction

So that our words, spiritual power, love, and language are upheld;

Permanently fixed, established and understood!

Forward together!
