Basic prayer for food in Cook Islands Māori is as follows: "Te Atua e, akameitaki mai te manga ta matou ka kai, ei akamatutu to matou kopapa, kia ora matou iakoe, Amene".

Translated as: Heavenly father, bless this food we are about to eat, to strengthen our bodies, may we live in your grace, Amen.
