Maori Reformatted Bible Te Paipera Tapu Trutone Blue

This newly reformatted edition of Te Paipera Tapu faithfully preserves the 1952 edition while enhancing it for today’s Māori language readers. Featuring added macrons for vowel clarity, updated punctuation, paragraphing, and helpful section headings, this edition greatly improves readability and accessibility. It follows the successful release of the bilingual New Testament in 2008, which was widely embraced across Aotearoa.

More than a decade in the making, this revision is the result of dedicated work by translators, Māori leaders, and language experts. With both historical significance and modern relevance, Te Paipera Tapu continues a powerful tradition of bringing God’s Word to life in Te Reo Māori—first published in 1868 and revised by a committee including Sir Apirana Ngata in 1952, this remains the standard Māori Bible text today.
