MAMAA ileni,
Satamu ke maai.
Alahana ioe ke lae mai.
Muola saemu eni deuleni qaolani ke lae oto,
iano ileu mala oto ileni.
Da mai siiri huniemi mui neula ke adona siiri.
Na oke sae asie huniemi mui roroana iemi,
mala iemi noone ko sae asie mui roroana ikire na munini ko haaroroaire huniemi.
Na mane o toliasi iemi hunie malaahonamami,
oke si haauriemi maania orahaala.
Ana o tooana alahana,
na nanamana na manikuluana,
oto di oto di. Amen.
