Haere mai e te manuhiri tuarangi
Haere mai, haere mai, haere mai ra
Welcome distinguished visitors
Welcome, welcome, welcome

Haere atu ra nga tini aitua o nga marama o nga tau
Haere ki tua te arai, hoki atu ki te kainga tuturu o nga tipuna
Haere, okioki ki te ariki, te timata me te whakamutunga hoki
o nga mea katoa

Farewell to those who have passed on during the past months, the prevailing years
Farewell thee beyond the veil of life and into the world of the spirit,
return to the true home of our ancestors farewell,
rest within the bosom of the creator whom is the beginning and the end
the author also of all things

Kapiti hono tatai hono te hunga mate ki te hunga mate
Kapiti hono tatai hono tatou te hunga ora ki te hunga ora
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, huri noa te motu, tēnā tatou katoa

HER MAJESTY VICTORIA Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland regarding with Her Royal Favour the Native Chiefs and Tribes of New Zealand and anxious to protect their just Rights and Property and to secure to them the enjoyment of Peace and Good Order has deemed it necessary in consequence of the great number of Her Majesty's Subjects who have already settled in New Zealand and the rapid extension of Emigration both from Europe and Australia which is still in progress to constitute and appoint a Functionary properly authorised to treat with the Aborigines of New Zealand for the recognition of Her Majesty's Sovereign authority over the whole or any part of those island

Her Majesty therefore being desirous to establish a settled form of Civil Government with a view to avert the evil consequences which must result from the absence of the necessary Laws and Institutions alike to the native population and to Her Subjects has been graciously pleased to empower and to authorise me William Hobson a Captain in Her Majesty's Royal Navy Consul and Lieutenant Governor of such parts of New Zealand as may be or hereafter shall be ceded to her Majesty to invite the confederated and independent Chiefs of New Zealand to concur in the following Articles and Conditions.

Tihe Mauri Ora!
