The Lord’s Prayer from English to Cook Islands
Our Father who art in heaven
E to matou Metua I te Ao ra
Hallowed be Thy Name
Kia Tapu toou ingoa
Thy Kingdom come
Kia tae toou Basileia
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Kia akono ia toou anoano I te Enua nei, mei tei te Ao katoa ana
Give us this day our daily bread
Omai I te kai e tau ia matou I teianei ra
And forgive us our trespasses
E akakore mai I ta matou ara
as we forgive
Mei ia matou
those who trespass against us
I akakore I ta tetai ara ia matou nei
And lead us not into temptation
Auraka e akaruke ia matou Kia timata’ia mai
but deliver us from the evil
E akaora ra ia matou mei te kino
For Thine is the Kingdom,
Noou oki te Basileia
the Power, and the Glory
E te Mana, e te Kaka
Forever and ever
E tuātau uatu
Amen , Amene
