"Maaku anoo e hanga i tooku nei whare.
Ko ngaa pou o roto, he mahoe, he patate, ko te taahuuhuu he hinau
Me whakatupu ki te hua o te rengarenga
Me whakapakari ki te hua o te kawariki"
"I shall fashion my own house. The pillars inside will be of māhoe and pātete, and the ridgepole of hīnau. Those who inhabit the house will be raised on rengarenga, and nurtured on kawariki"
