KETE TORU: A Collection of Maori Songs
Hymns 1. Te inoi ō te Ariki 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 Homai kia mātou āianei He taro mō 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 Ēngari whakaorangia mātou I te kino Nōu hoki te rangatiratanga Te kaha, me te kororia Ake, ake, ake Amine
The Lords Prayer Our father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done On earth As it is in heaven Give us this day Our daily bread Forgive our trespasses As we forgive those Who trespass against us Lead us not Into temptation But deliver us From evil For thou is the kingdom The power and the glory Forever and ever Amen
2. Ka Waiata kia Māria Ka waiata kia Maria Hine i whakaae Whakameatia mai Te whare tangata Hine pūrotu Hine ngākau Hine rangimārie Ko te whāea ko te whāea O te ao – o te ao
Let us sing to Mary Sing to Mary Who graciously assented To provide Her womb (figurative) Beautiful lady Lady of compassion Lady of peace Beloved mother Of the world 5
