E Io Matua Kore, e ngā Atua, e ngā Tūpuna,

Kia mau te rangimārie ki roto i a mātou.

Karakia/Waiata :
Te Inoi a te Ariki
(The Lords Prayer)
Waiata Version
E tō mātou Matua i te rangi,
Kia tapu tōu ingoa.
Kia tae mai tōu rangatiratanga.
Kia meatia tāu e pai ai ki runga ki te whenua,
kia rite anō ki tō te rangi.
Hōmai ki a mātou āianei
he taro mā mātou mō tēnei rā.
Murua ō mātou hara,
Me mātou hoki e muru nei
i ō te hunga e hara ana ki a mātou.
Aua hoki mātou e kawea kia whakawaia;
Engari whakaorangia mātou i te kino.
Nōu hoki te rangatiratanga,
te kaha, me te korōria,
Āke, āke, āke.
Āmine.
Purpose: A prayer of faith, surrender, guidance, provision, forgiveness, and relationship with Atua.
Karakia Whakamutunga / Waiata Whakamoemiti
Karakia: He Hōnore (Waiata Version)
He hōnore, he korōria
Ki te Atua.
He maungārongo ki te whenua.
He whakaaro pai ki ngā tāngata katoa.
Āke, āke, āke.
Āmine.
A song of praise, thanksgiving, honour, and glorification of Atua; commonly us
Listen to the Karakia.
Read along with the captions.
Repeat the words aloud.
Practise regularly until the flow becomes natural.
Speak from the heart rather than striving for perfection.
That reinforces confidence for those who may feel nervous about pronunciation.
