E hāngai ana tēnei whakatauki ki te ngā mahi kua tutuki i te rangi nei. Ko tāku, he timotimo hāere i aku akoranga mai te wiki, ngā wiki kua pahure ake. Hoianō mā te ruku hōhonu ake ki ngā mahi ka mārama, ka waia hoki ngā mahi. Ehara tēnei i te mea kai pāraoa engari mā te mate ururoa e eke panuku.

Kātahi nā te taupānga ko tēnei! Ahakoa ihu hūpe au ki tēnei tumomo mahi, he āta rawekengia te mahi e pakari ai taku mōhiotanga. E hika kua waiho māku, hei hanga i te paetukutuku mō te Tari Māori inā hoki te ihu hūpe ōku hoa kaimahi. Nā reira he nui ngā mahi kei mua i te aroaro, ā, mā te pakaru rawa o ūpoko.
He maringa nui ki tōku mirumiru Māori kua whāngaia, kua tohaina a rātau rauemi ki ahau hei tīmatanga, hei whai whakaaro ki te whakatakotoranga me ngā pānui o roto. Ko te whāinga matua mōku i te wā nei, he whakatika i te whārangi kainga, kia kauaka e mātotoru ngā kupu me ngā pikitia. Kia whakangāwari ake te āhua, kia mārama ngā akonga kei whea te aha. ka mutu he noho tahi me ōku hoa mahi i roto i te tari Māori ki te wānanga ngā kaupapa hei urutomo atu ki tā tātau paetukutuku.

ReplyDeleteE rere tonu ana aku mihi nui ki a koe. Te āhua nei kua pai i a koe ngā pūkenga matua mō te taupanga paetukutuku o Kūkara, ā, ko tō paepaetukutuku ki taunakitanga mō aku kupu whakanui. Ko te tō mahi nei te whakatinanatanga o taua whakataukī rongonui.
Ngā mihi anō
