Na ko kotou kia pure:

E to matou Metua i te ao ra,
Kia tapu toou ingoa.
Kia tae toou basileia.
Kia akonoia toou anoano i te enuaa nei,
mei tei te ao katoa na.
O mai i te kai e tau ia matou 'i teianei ra.
'E akakore mai i ta matou ara,
mei ia matou i akakore i ta tei ara ia matou nei.
'Auraka e akaruke ia matou kia timataia mai,
"e akaora ra ia matou i te kino.
"Noou oki te basileia, e te mana,
e te kaka, e tuatau ua atu."
Amene.
