E tē Wāhi Ngaro e tuku atu mātou tenei reo whakawhetai whakamoemiti ki a koe mō tē putea i tukua mai ki tē whakatika ake i ngā nawe me ngā raruraru o ngā wahapū o te Waitemata, o Hauraki me Tīkapa Moana. Kei te haere tonu ngā whakawhetai mō aua kākano kua ruia mai e koe kia tino pai atu te oranga o te mauri o enei Moana tapu.

Nā reira e tē Wāhi Ngaro, kua ruia ngā kākano, kua puta nga kōrito o aua kākano, kua heke ngā pūtake, kua tupu tē kaupapa, tae noa ki tē whakatutukitanga i aianei Ko tenei tonu te whakawhetai te whakamoemiti i tou Ingoa Tapu me te whakahoki atu te kororia ki ā koe. Korōria ki Tou Ingoa Tapu mō enei manākitanga kua ūhia mai e koe ki runga i tenei kaupapa.

I te mea e anga atu nei ki te mutungā o tenei kaupapa, e inoi tonu atu nei ki a koe kia tau tonu mai Ou manākitanga ki runga i enei taonga wai kia ora pai ai tē mauri o enei moana mō ake tonu atu.

Mauri ora ki tē taiao mo enei Moana.
Kia tau tonu.
