MAA igami ilani,
na Satamu ka abu.
Na alafalaa oe ka lea mai.
Na doo ragemu ani adealana ka maluda na,
iano isei ilinia ilani.
Falea mai taraina fuagami na fanala e bobola fai taraina.
O manata asia na nalilana gami ilini gami mi manata asia na nalilana gera.
Fasia lugasi gami laona ilitoola;
O lafuu gami fasia fualanaa.
Ana do oe na alafalaa, ma na mamana,
ma na rara, ka too ka tau. Amen.
