TE INOINGA NUI

The Great Invocation in Maori:
TE INOINGA NUI

Na te maramatanga kei te
ngakau o Te Atua
Kia koha te maramtanga ki te
ngakau o te tangata
Kia koha te maramatanga ki te ao.

Na te aroha kei te ngakau
0 Te Atua
Ki horapa te aroha ki te
ngakau o te tangata
Kia hoki mai ano te Karaiti
ki to ao

Na te mauri o Te Atua
Kia marama te haere a te tangata
I te huarahi o Te Atua.

Na roto mai i te Tangata
Ma te maramatanga me te aroha
tatau e arahi
A ma tenei e pa kuaha ki te Klno.
Ma te Maramatanga, ma te Aroha,
ma te Kaha e whakau
te whakaaro nui te ao.

"This Invocation or Prayer does not belong to any person or group, but to all Humanity. The beauty and the strength of this Invocation lies in its simplicity, and in its expression of certain central truths which all people, innately and normally, accept – the truth of the existence of a basic Intelligence to whom we vaguely give the name of God, the truth that behind all outer seeming, the motivating power of the universe is Love, the truth that a great individuality came to earth, called by Christians, the Christ, and embodied that love so that we could understand, the truth that both love and intelligence are effects of what is called the Will of God, and finally the self-evident truth that only through humanity itself can the Divine Plan work out."
