Te Whare O Ngāpuhi, Tāmaki Makaurau ki Te Rerenga Wairua. Ko ngā paatu ko Ngāti Whātua, Te Rārawa, Te Aupouri, Ngāti Kahu, Ngāpuhi ki roto. Ko ngā Rarangi Maunga ngā Poutokomanawa i hikia te Tahuhu o Te Whare O Ngāpuhi.

The house of Ngāpuhi stretches from Tāmaki Makaurau in the south to Cape Reinga in the north, its walls are the sub-tribes: Ngāti Whatua in the south, Te Rārawa in the west, Te Aupouri in the north and Ngāti Kahu in the east, Ngāpuhi holds the centre of the House, and the mountains of significance within Ngāpuhi are the pillars or poupou, which hold the ridgepole aloft.

He mea hanga tōku whare, ko Papatuānuku te paparahi.

Ko nga maunga nga poupou, ko Ranginui e titiro iho nei, te tuanui.

Pūhanga-tohora titiro ki Te Ramaroa e whakakurupaeake ra i te Hauāuru.

Te Ramaroa titiro ki Whīria, te Paiaka o te riri, te kawa o Rāhiri.

Whīria titiro ki Panguru, ki Papata, ki te rākau tū papata ki te tai Hauāuru;

Panguru, Papata titiro ki Maungataniwha.

Maungataniwha titiro ki Tokerau.

Tokerau titiro ki Rākaumangamanga.

Rākaumangamanga titiro ki Manaia, e tu kohatu mai ra i te akau.

Manaia titiro ki Tutamoe.

Tutamoe titiro ki Maunganui.

Maunganui titiro ki Pūhanga-tohora.

Ehara aku maunga i te maunga nekeneke, he maunga tū tonu, tū te Ao tū te Po.

Ko te Whare Tapu o Ngāpuhi tenei, tihei mauri ora.

The house is constructed thus being

The sky father is the roof

The earth mother is the floor

The mountains are the posts

Pūhanga Tohorā faces Te Ramaroa

Te Ramaroa faces Whiria

The taproot of strife, the custom of Rāhiri

Whiria faces Panguru-Papata, the trees bent by the western wind

Panguru-Papata faces Maungataniwha that hears

both the eastern and western coasts

Maunga Taniwha faces Tokerau

Tokerau faces Rākaumangamanga

Rākaumangamanga faces Manaia

Manaia faces Tūtāmoe

Tūtāmoe faces Maunganui

Maunganui faces Pūhanga Tohorā

This is the sacred house of everlasting Ngāpuhi.
