Fijian passage to translate
Could someone kindly translate this Fijian text, printed on an old souvenir spoon from that country some 60 years ago:
REYEVAKA NA KALOUKA DOKA NA TUI
(The print is very small but I think that's right.)
Thanks.

Bula! (Hi!)
I can't speak Fijian but I think I can help. It looked familiar and, sure enough, my memory was right - it's the Fijian motto from the coat of arms! It means "Fear God and honour the King" (and aparently didn't change since Fiji became a republic!).
It should be
REREVAKA NA KALOU KA DOKA NA TUI
Greetings,
Brad
