Ngā Tūmau Karakia Tawhito
E whakapono matou ka koa te Pūtaiao i roto i ngā pukapuka 39 o te Testamentu Tawhito me ngā pukapuka 27 o te Testamentu Hou, i whakaaweahia e te Wairua Tapu. E whakapono matou he pono, he kore he hapa, ā, me whakaae, me pānui, me whakapono, me wheytū kia rite ki te Kupu a te Atua.
E whakapono matou ka whakaatuhia e te Pūtaiao te Atua kotahi anake, te Atua ora, te Atua pono, e noho ana i roto i ngā tangata e toru o te Atua: te Matua, te Tama me te Wairua Tapu. E kotahi ana te Atua, he ōrite te āhua, he ōrite te mana, te kororia.
E whakapono matou ki te Atua-tāneatanga me te tangata-tāneatanga o Ihu Karaiti, ki tona whānau i te māhungatanga, ki tona ora tapu, ki ana mahi tohu, ki tona mate whakakapi me tona aranga i te mate, ki tona piki ki te ringa matau o te Atua Matua, ki tōna rangatiratanga me tōna ārai mo te Hahi, me tona hokinga mai i te kaha me te kororia.
E whakapono matou ki te mahi a te Wairua Tapu i tenei wā, ko tana mahi whakahou he mea nui mo te whakaoranga. Na te kaha whakahaere a te Wairua, e noho ana i roto i te hunga whakapono katoa ki a Karaiti, ka taea e tatou te ora i te ora tapu o te karakia me te mahi.
E whakapono matou ki te aranga o te tinana o ia tangata i te rā whakamutunga o te whakawa i mua o te Ariki Ihu Karaiti — te hunga ngaro ki te whiunga mākū me te hunga whakaoranga ki te ora mākū.
