Translation of the song E to matou Matua artist The Lord's Prayer

Maori

E to matou Matua

English translation

Our Father

E to mātou Mātua i te rangi,

Our Father in heaven

Kia tapu tōu ingoa.

May your name be hallowed

Kia tae mai tōu rangatiratanga.

May your kingdom come

Kia meatia tau e pai ai ki runga ki te whenua,

May your wants be granted on the Earth

Kia rite ano ki to te rangi.

May it be as it is in heaven

Homai ki a mātou āianei he taro mā mātou mo tēnei rā.

Give us today our daily bread

Murua o mātou hara, me mātou hoki e muru nei

Pardon our sins, and we in return forgive

I o te hunga e hara ana ki a mātou.

(To) those who sin (against) us

Aua hoki mātou e kawea kia whakawaia;

Do not bring us to temptation

Engari whakaorangia mātou i te kino.

But save us from evil

Nou hoki te rangatiratanga, te kaha, me te kororia,

Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,

Āke, āke, āke

Forever and ever

Amine.

Amen.
