| Ko Makemake te tagata he ra'e. | Makemake is the first. | |
| He-to'o-mai Makemake i te kaha vai, he-hakapú, he-tuki; i-ava, i-paroparoko; ina kai rivariva teaga. | Makemake took a water gourd, he made a hole in it and he fecundated the water; only the small fishes called paroko were plentiful; his travails had been in vain. | |
| He-to'o-hakaou-mai Makemake i te ma'ea, he-hakapú, he-tuki; ina kai riva tako'a, ihoiho kiko mea. | Then he took a stone, he made a hole in it and fecundated it; nothing happened again4 | |
| He-hoki-hakaoa-mai Makemake, he-pute i te oone, he-hakapú, he tuki; he tagata mo noho i tekaiga. | Makemake went back to work, he piled up some dirt, made a hole in it, and fecundated it; Man resulted, who was to live on the earth. |
