Tumupu from Atiu

E rua manako no Maui taku i kite. Kua manako ia a maui no te au enua ki runga.

Te ra teta manako kua nanako ia teia Maui no avaiki mai. te ra te tumu, Kua tae mai aia, e mea tiki na ia, no te mea e toa aia.

Ko taua Maui, te ra tona ingoa i te katoato. Ko Maui tikitiki a te rangi; Ko te Maui toia i kitea ai te ai a tetai tangata.

Ko te ai a teia tangata e potanga rakau.

Ko te vairanga o taua ai nana tei raro ake i tona urunga i roto i te kimi ravenga a Maui e tona pakari kua kitea te ai a teia tangata i topa ia ai tona ingoa ko Maui tikitiki a te rangi.
