| Let us go to Waiheke. |
Tatou ka haere ki Waiheke. |
| Call Hemi and Hori to go with us. |
Karangatia a Hemi raua ko Hori hei hoa mo taua. |
| Launch the boat. |
Toia te poti. |
| The boat is afloat. |
Ka manu te poti. |
| Fetch the oars. |
Tikina nga hoe |
| Leave the sail: there is too much wind. |
Waiho atu te ra: he nui no te hau. |
| There is too much sea for us to get over. |
E kore tatou e whiti i te ngaru. |
| The boat will be full of water presently. |
Akuanei ka ki te poti i te wai. |
| Bale out the water. |
Taia te wai. |
| We will land here. |
Me whakau te poti ki konei. |
| This is a fair wind to go back with. |
E tika ana te hau mo te hokinga atu. |
| Set the sail. |
Whakaarahia te ra. |
| It is low water. |
Kua timu te tai. |
| Keep outside lest we should get aground on the sandbank. |
Waiho i waho, kei eke tatou ki te tahuna. |
| Take down the sail. |
Turakina te ra. |
| Drag up the boat on shore. |
Toia ake te poti ki uta. |
