In Māori mythology, as in other Polynesian traditions, Māui is a culture hero and a trickster, famous for his exploits and cleverness. He possessed superhuman strength, and was capable of shapeshifting into animals such as birds and worms. Māui is credited with catching a giant fish using a fishhook taken from his grandmother's jaw-bone; the giant fish would become the North Island of New Zealand, known as Te Ika-a-Māui. In some traditions, his canoe (waka) became the South Island, known as Te Waka a Māui.

  • في الميثولوجيا الماورية، كما هو الحال في بقية الأساطير البولينيزية، ماوي بطل ثقافي ومحتال مشهور بمآثره وذكائه. امتلك ماوي قوًى خارقة، وكان قادرًا على التحول إلى حيوانات مثل الطيور والديدان. وُلد قبل أوانه وألقته والدته في المحيط، حيث شكّلته الموجات ليصبح طفلًا حيًا. اكتشفه جده وانتقل لاحقًا ليعيش مع أشقائه. تبع والدته في يوم من الأيام إلى العالم السفلي حيث قابل والده، ماكياتوتارا، الذي عمّد ماوري بطريقة خاطئة. عقابًا على هذه الحادثة، حكمت الآلهة أن يكون الموت مصير ماوي وكامل البشرية. يُعزى إلى ماوي اصطياد سمكة عملاقة باستخدام شص مصنوع من عظم فك جدته؛ صارت السمكة العملاقة الجزيرة الشمالية من نيوزيلندا، المعروفة باسم تي إيكا آ ماوي. في بعض التقاليد، صار زورقه (الواكا) الجزيرة الجنوبية، المعروفة باسم تي واكا آ ماوي. تضمنت حيلته الأخيرة، والتي أدت إلى وفاته، الإلهة هيني نوي تي بو. في محاولة لتحصيل الخلود للجنس البشري، تحول ماوي إلى دودة ودخل في مهبلها، ناويًا الخروج من فمها وقتما تنام. لكنه سُحق بين أسنان مهبلها المصنوعة من السبج.

  • In Māori mythology, as in other Polynesian traditions, Māui is a culture hero and a trickster, famous for his exploits and cleverness. He possessed superhuman strength, and was capable of shapeshifting into animals such as birds and worms. He was born premature and cast into the ocean by his mother, where the waves formed him into a living baby. He was discovered by his grandfather and later went to live with his siblings. One day he followed his mother to the underworld where he met his father, Makeatutara, who baptised Māui incorrectly. As a punishment from the gods for this mishap, Māui and all of humanity were doomed to die. Māui is credited with catching a giant fish using a fishhook taken from his grandmother's jaw-bone; the giant fish would become the North Island of New Zealand, known as Te Ika-a-Māui. In some traditions, his canoe (waka) became the South Island, known as Te Waka a Māui. His last trick, which led to his death, involved the goddess Hine-nui-te-pō. While attempting to win immortality for mankind, Māui entered her vagina, intent on leaving through her mouth while she slept. However, he was crushed by the teeth in her vagina, which were made of obsidian. In myth, Māui constantly breaches tapu (ritual restrictions) and his name sounds like maui, meaning 'left-hand side', the side associated with tapu's opposite, noa. (en)

  • Never mind; let him be our dear brother. In the days of peace remember the proverb, 'When you are on friendly terms, settle your disputes in a friendly way; when you are at war, you must redress your injuries by violence.' It is better for us, brothers, to be kind to other people. These are the ways by which men gain influence – by laboring for an abundance of food to feed others, by collecting property to give to others, and by similar means by which you promote the good of others.
