Volume 4 / Part 2 — Introductory material (continued 4)

When Lonoikamakahiki heard this call for mercy, together with the cries of the people, he desisted and allowed the people to get away, and in the name of his regularly accepted law, “Mercy has rendered the law useless,” he withheld his hand and would not attack the people further. This was the beginning of the many hoopapa contests of Lonoikamakahiki. A lohe o Lonoikamakahiki i keia olelo, a me ka leo kahea maloko mai, alaila, hooko ae la oia aole e luku aku e like me kana noonoo mua ana, a ma ka inoa o kona kanawai mau, “Kai Okia Kanawai,” nolaila, aole he luku hou ana a Lonoikamakahiki i koe.

CHAPTER VI. The Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Contests, and the Arrival of Kaikilani. MOKUNA VI. Ka Hoopapa Alua ana, Akolu, Aha, ame ka Lima, ame ka Hiki ana Mai o Kaikilani.

After this defeat of Kakuhihewa by Lonoikamakahiki, Lanahuimihaku and his companion then said to Kakuhihewa: “Say, Kakuhihewa, since we have been beaten by the king of Hawaii in this contest, let this be his victory. Our idea is this: we think it a good plan that we go out fishing. It is more than possible that the king of Hawaii can be enticed to follow us out, and if he does, and he gets excited over the sport, he will surely ask us for hook, line and bait; then we will shame him, for he is a king without any knowledge of the art of fishing. If this can be done we will be able to defeat him, and you will then get his feather kahili.” Mahope iho o keia eo ana o Kakuhihewa ma ia Lonoikamakahiki, alaila, olelo aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma ia Kakuhihewa, me ka i aku: “E Kakuhihewa, he nani ia ua eo ae nei kakou i ke alii o Hawaii ma keia pili ana; o kana eo hoi ia. O ko maua manao, e pono ia kakou ke holo i ka lawaia, malia holo ae mahope o kakou. A ina e holo ae, a malia o lealea ua alii nei o Hawaii i ka lawaia, a noi ae paha i makau, i aho, i maunu; ia manawa oia e pakike ia aku ai. Eia la he alii ike ole i ka lawaia; alaila ma ka lawaia oia e eo ai ia kakou, o ka lilo ka hoi ia o kona kahili ia oe.”

Because of this, Kakuhihewa made up his mind to agree to this proposition expressed by Lanahuimihaku and his companion, so all doubts were removed from his mind as to his ability to win the feather kahili, and being easily led by Lanahuimihaku and his companion, Kakuhihewa of course consented. It was a common thing with Kakuhihewa to give in to the wishes of the two men, for he had the most implicit confidence in them. A no ia mea, hooholo ae la o Kakuhihewa i kona manao ae, mamuli o ka Lanahuimihaku ma olelo, me ke kanalua ole, no ka mea, o na mea a pau a Lanahuimihaku ma e olelo ai, malaila wale no o Kakuhihewa e hilinai ai.

On the morning of the day after, Kakuhihewa and his men made ready the double canoe and set out for the fishing grounds for a day of fishing. The fishing grounds they decided to go to that day were the ones called Akaka, directly out of Kailua, at a point from which Kahuku in Koolauloa and Mokuoniki on the east of Molokai could be seen. I ke kakahiaka o kekahi la ae, hoomakaukau ae la o Kakuhihewa ma i na waa, a holo aku la i ka lawaia ma ke koa lawaia i oleloia o Akaka, mawaho pono aku o Kailua, ma kahi e ike aku ana ia Kahuku, ma Koolauloa, a me Mokuoniki ma ka aoao hikina o Molokai.

When Lonoikamakahiki saw Kakuhihewa setting out for the purpose of fishing, he turned and said to his retainer, Loli: “I think it a good idea that we follow Kakuhihewa and his companions and look on while the king of Oahu does his fishing.” Loli replied to his ward: “You must not urge us to follow out to watch the fishing, for if you get stubborn I will get killed, because you do not know how to fish.” To this Lonoikamakahiki said to Loli: “Why should you get killed without any cause?” The attendant replied: “Here is the reason why I shall be killed: after we get to the fishing grounds you will see Kakuhihewa and his companions hauling in the fish, and you will get excited over the sport and will have a desire to do some fishing yourself. Because of that desire you will ask for hook and line, and they will refuse and insult you with such expression as this: ‘Where have you been that you should come here unprepared?’ Therefore you will be ashamed; and this will cause my death.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “Why should they refuse to give me hook and line? Only the ignorant will refuse to give hook and line.” The attendant said: “Yes, that would be the proper way of reasoning if things were right between you, but as things stand now they do not think well of you, for you have beaten them, and for this reason they will refuse giving you what you ask.” But with all this advice given by his attendant the king’s desire to go out was not abated; in fact, the desire became stronger, and Lonoikamakahiki finally demanded of his servant that they follow Kakuhihewa and his companions and look on while they fished. A ike aku la o Lonoikamakahiki e holo ana o Kakuhihewa i ka lawaia, alaila olelo aku la ua o Lonoikamakahiki i ke kahu ia Loli: “E aho paha e hahai kakou mahope o Kakuhihewa ma, e makaikai aku ai i ka lawaia a ke alii o Oahu nei.” I aku la o Loli i kana hanai: “Mai une oe ia kakou e holo i kai, ina e paakiki oe o ko’u make no ia, no ka mea, aole oe i ike i ka lawaia.” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki ia Loli “Heaha auanei kou kumu e make wale iho ai?” I aku la ke kahu: “Eia hoi kuu mea e make ai, o ka holo o kaua a ka moana nana aku oe i ka lawaia a Kakuhihewa ma, lealea aku oe i ka lakou la huki mai i ka ia. A nolaila, nonoi aku oe i na mea lawaia, pakike ia mai oe, me ko lakou la olelo mai: ‘I hea no hoi oe hele mai me kou makaukau?’ A nolaila hilahila oe, a oia kuu mea e make ai.” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “O ke aha auanei ko lakou mea e aua mai ai ke noi aku wau i na mea lawaia?

A ikaika loa ae la ko Lonoikamakahiki manao holo i ka nana i ka lawaia a Kakuhihewa ma.

A no ko ke alii manao paa loa, nolaila, olelo aku la o Loli ia Lonoikamakahiki: “Auhea oe?

A FEW WORDS OF EXPLANATION RELATING TO LOLI AND HAUNA. KA HOAKAKA ANA I KO LOLI ANO AME KO HAUNA.

In the first chapter of this story of Lonoikamakahiki the character of these two men, Loli and Hauna, is there told. Hauna and Loli were men who faithfully followed their religious rites and were true worshippers of the god of Keawenuiaumi, which was left in charge of Lonoikamakahiki. Ma ka mokuna mua o keia moolelo o Lonoikamakahiki, ua oleloia malaila ko Loli ame ko Hauna ano. He mau kanaka haipule o Hauna laua me Loli, ma ka inoa o ke akua o Keawenuiaumi a ili iho ia Lonoikamakahiki.

He mau kanaka kaulana laua ma na moku a puni, no ko laua mana a me ko laua malama ana i ke akua, a he hiki ia laua ke hana i na hana mana he nui, ma ka inoa o ko Keawenuiaumi akua. A nolaila i olelo ai o Loli, e pepehi ia ia i mau mea lawaia na ke alii na Lonoikamakahiki.

HOW LONOIKAMAKAHIKI FOLLOWED TO SEE KAKUHIHEWA AND HIS COMPANIONS FISH. KA HOLO ANA O LONOIKAMAKAHIKI E MAKAIKAI I KA LAWAIA A KAKUHIHEWA MA.

Lonoikamakahiki and his companions in due time caught up with Kakuhihewa’s canoe and together they arrived at the same fishing grounds; but Lonoikamakahiki, contrary to all rules about fishing, kept on going until his double canoe stood directly at the bow of Kakuhihewa’s double canoe, where he cast off the rock that served as his anchor. This rock was a very small one for the purpose, but to prove the supernatural powers of Hauna it served the purpose as an anchor, although a strong gale came up and for a short time it blew quite fiercely. When the storm was blowing, the rock that served as an anchor for the double canoe of Kakuhihewa was unable to hold the canoe and so it was carried off to the leeward of the fishing grounds for some distance. The double canoe of Lonoikamakahiki, however, never moved a bit, and the small rock held it as though a large anchor had been used. This was because of the supernatural powers of Hauna. Ia Lonoikamakahiki ma i holo aku ai i ka moana mahope aku o Kakuhihewa ma, ua kaulike ae la na waa o Kakuhihewa ma ma ke koa; aka, o Lonoikamakahiki, holo aku la laua, a mamua o na waa o Kakuhihewa ma, kiola ae la i kona pohaku hekau, he wahi pohaku lana uuku no ia; a i mea e ike ia ai ko Hauna mana, nolaila, he makani nui ikaika kai pa iho ia manawa; he wa pokole nae o ka pa ana a ka makani, alaila, pau. Ia manawa a ka makani i puhi ai, ua hemo ae la na pohaku hekau o na waa o Kakuhihewa ma; aka, o ko Lonoikamakahiki mau waa, aole he neeu aku oia mau paa no, me he heleuma i loko o ke one. Mamuli nae ia o ka mana o ke kahu, o Hauna.

When Kakuhihewa saw how the double canoe of the king of Hawaii was held by the small mooring rock he expressed the desire of possessing it, so he immediately made up his mind to name the rock in his next wager with Lonoikamakahiki. Ia manawa, makemake aku la o Kakuhihewa i ka pohaku hekau o ke alii o Hawaii. Alaila manao ae la oia (Kakuhihewa) o ko Lonoikamakahiki kumu pili ia e pili mai ai ia Kakuhihewa.

While Lonoikamakahiki and his companions were floating in the same place Kakuhihewa said to Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “What a wonderful rock the king of Hawaii must have.” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “Yes, we know of the rock that serves as the anchor of the double canoe of the king of Hawaii. We have seen several rocks like that.” Because of this answer given by Lanahuimihaku and his companion, Kakuhihewa thought he would send for one like it from Hawaii, but Lanahuimihaku and his companion said: “You cannot make use of that kind of rock, however, because your attendants do not possess supernatural powers. That rock holds that canoe because of the supernatural powers of Hauna.” Ia Lonoikamakahiki ma e lana ana maluna o na waa, i aku la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “Kupanaha ka pohaku hekau o ke alii o Hawaii.” I aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma: “Ae, ua ike maua i kela pohaku lana o ke alii o Hawaii, he nui wale ka pohaku i like me kela.” A no keia olelo a Lanahuimihaku ma, manao o Kakuhihewa e kii i pohaku nana i Hawaii. I ia aku e Lanahuimihaku ma: “Aole e pono kela pohaku, no ka mea, aole ou mana a me kou mau kahu. No ka mana o Hauna wale no ka mea i paa ai kela pohaku.”

When Lonoikamakahiki and his companions were moored directly at the bow of the double canoe of Kakuhihewa, Kakuhihewa was sore displeased, for he knew that such a thing was not considered right by all fishermen. This displeasure was so strong that he spoke of the matter and remarked that he did not at all like the way Lonoikamakahiki’s double canoe was moored. But Lanahuimihaku and his companion, however, said: “Don’t at all mind it. If the king of Hawaii has any fishing implements with him then it would be wrong.” This reply satisfied Kakuhihewa for he thought no more of the matter. Ia Lonoikamakahiki ma e lana mai ana ma ko lakou wahi, he mea pono ole nae ia i ko Kakuhihewa manao, no ka mea, he mea mau i na lawaia, aole e pono e kauia kekahi waa mamua o kekahi waa. A nolaila i manao ai o Kakuhihewa, he pono ole ia Lonoikamakahiki ke kau mamua o na waa o lakou. I aku nae o Lanahuimihaku ma: “Mai manao oe pela. Ina he mau mea lawaia ka ua alii la o Hawaii alaila hewa io.” Alaila pau ae la ko Kakuhihewa manao ana pela.

Ia manawa a Kakuhihewa ma e kamailio ana me Lanahuimihaku ma, lou ana ka ia ia Kakuhihewa. I aku la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “E! Lou ka ia, heaha la?” I aku o Lanahuimihaku ma: “He ulua. Ninau ia aku ke alii o Hawaii.” A no ia mea, kahea aku la o Kakuhihewa: “Ahaha! E, ke alii o Hawaii, he aha ka ia?” I aku o Loli ia Lonoikamakahiki: “Koho ia aku he mano.” I aku la o Lonoikamakahiki e like me ka Loli olelo: “He mano.”

Because Lonoikamakahiki had named the fish to be a shark Kakuhihewa asked of Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “Is it a shark?” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “It is not a shark. The king of Hawaii deceives himself. Here we have been fishing on these grounds many times and we never have caught a single shark. You also know that these fishing grounds have been dedicated to our god and no shark can come here. Make a wager with him. You will for the first time beat the king of Hawaii now.” A no ke koho ana aku a Lonoikamakahiki he mano, nolaila, ninau ae la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “He mano io anei?” I aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma: “Aole he mano, ua wahahee ke alii o Hawaii, lawaia auanei hoi kakou i keia koa a kakou e lawaia nei, he mano kekahi. Kai noa, ua hoolaaia keia koa i ke akua, aole e komo ka mano i keia koa. Piliia aku, akahi hana ana a ke alii o Hawaii e eo ai.”

Because of these words of Lanahuimihaku and his companion, Kakuhihewa said to Lonoikamakahiki: “Say, King of Hawaii, we had better make a wager. If it is a shark you beat us; but if the fish I hold should prove to be an ulua, then we beat you.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “What shall our wagers be?” Kakuhihewa said: “From Leahi to the Kaena point, I will place against your mooring rock.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It is a bet.” Kakuhihewa then pulled on his line and when the fish was almost to the surface, Kakuhihewa said to Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “It is a shark. We have lost to the king of Hawaii.” Lanahuimihaku and his companion then looked down and when they saw it was a shark they nodded to Kakuhihewa to let go the line so as to allow the shark to break away and in that way get rid of it before the others could see it. But Lonoikamakahiki had seen the nod and at once saw the intention of Kakuhihewa and his companions to allow the fish to break away from the line; so he called out to Kakuhihewa and the others: “Say, King of Oahu, don’t play false and allow the fish to get away by letting go of the line. If you don’t see the shark, pull it in to be certain.” Kakuhihewa was therefore forced to pull on the line and after a while they all saw plainly that it was a shark. Because of this Kakuhihewa said to Lonoikamakahiki: “You have won. It was because we were certain that no sharks came to these fishing grounds that we made the wager with you.” A nolaila, ma ka olelo a Lanahuimihaku ma, olelo aku la o Kakuhihewa ia Lonoikamakahiki: “E ke alii o Hawaii, e pono no paha ke pili, ina no hoi he mano, ua eo makou ia oe, aka hoi he ulua ka ia e paa nei i ka makou makau, alaila ua eo oe ia makou.” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “I aha ka pili?” I aku o Kakuhihewa: “Mai Leahi a hiki i ka lae o Kaena, mau i ko wahi pohaku lana.” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Ua mau.” Alaila huki ae la o Kakuhihewa i ke aho, a i ke kokoke ana ae i luna, alaila i aku o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “He mano. Ua eo kakou i ke alii o Hawaii.” Nana ae la o Lanahuimihaku ma, a ike iho la he mano, alaila, kunou aku la o ua o Lanahuimihaku ma ia Kakuhihewa, e hookuu aku i ke aho i moku aku ai ka mano i ole ai e ike ia ae. Aka, ua ike aku la o Lonoikamakahiki ia Kakuhihewa ma e hana ana pela, nolaila i kahea aku ai o Lonoikamakahiki ia Kakuhihewa ma: “E! E ke alii o Oahu, mai kalohe iho oe, aole ke kuu aku i ke aho o moku aku auanei ka makau. Ike ole ia aku ka mano, huki ae ka mano i akaka.” O ka huki ae la no ia o Kakuhihewa i ke aho, a ike ia ae la he mano. A no ia mea, i mai o Kakuhihewa ia Lonoikamakahiki: “Ua eo, no ko makou ike maoli ana he koa mano ole keia, nolaila wale no makou i pili ino aku ai.”

It was a well-known fact that no sharks were caught on these fishing grounds, as the place was dedicated to the gods, hence no sharks were supposed to get there, as the gods had charge of the place; but by the supernatural powers of Loli and Hauna the fishing grounds known to be without sharks became a place infested with them. Having won the wager, Kakuhihewa lost to Lonoikamakahiki that portion of Oahu from Leahi to Kaena point, which became the property of Lonoikamakahiki. He oiaio he koa mano ole kela, no ka mea, ua hoomanamanaia kela koa i mua o ke akua, aole e komo mai ka mano. Aka, ma ka mana o Loli a me Hauna, ua lilo ke koa mano ole i koa mano. A eo ae la o Kakuhihewa ia Lonoikamakahiki, a lilo ae la kekahi hapa o Oahu nei ia Lonoikamakahiki, mai Leahi a Kaena.

After this had taken place the desire to take a hand at fishing overcame Lonoikamakahiki, so he said to Kakuhihewa: “Say, King of Oahu, let me have a hook, line and some bait and also a sinker.” Kakuhihewa replied: “Why did you not come prepared when you came out to fish? Did you suppose that we were to supply you with these things necessary for a fisherman?” Loli, the attendant, then said: “My king, you have been shamed. This is what I expected and therefore warned you that we had better not come out. Now, therefore, you must kill me.” Mahope iho o keia mau mea, kupu ae la ko Lonoikamakahiki manao lealea i ka lawaia, alaila, olelo aku la o Lonoikamakahiki ia Kakuhihewa: “E ke alii o Oahu! Homai hoi kau wahi makau, i wahi aho mai me ka maunu, a i paka mai no.” I aku o Kakuhihewa: “I hea no hoi kou makaukau hele pu mai oe, o ka makou ka kau mea i manao ai, i anei kou lako?” I aku ke kahu o Loli: “E kuu alii! A, hilahila oe; kai noa o ka’u ia e olelo aku ana ia oe, aole kaua e holo mai i kai nei; a nolaila, pepehiia iho wau.”

In obedience to the former instructions of his attendant, Lonoikamakahiki proceeded to kill Loli and to make use of the different parts for his fishing apparatus, then lowered the whole thing into the sea. He then called the words taught him by Loli, saying: “Say, Loli! Say, Loli, the fish without eyes of the sea!! Catch us a fish, Loli.” At that very moment, as soon as the last word was spoken, an ahi bit his hook. As soon as he felt the bite Lonoikamakahiki called out: “Say, Kakuhihewa, what kind of a fish have I caught?” Kakuhihewa hesitated for a while, then asked of Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “What kind of a fish has the king of Hawaii caught?” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “Name it a shark, because the first fish caught being a shark there must be a lot of them down below.” Because of this, and in accordance with the words of Lanahuimihaku and his companion, he answered Lonoikamakahiki, saying: “It is a shark.” Lonoikamakahiki answered back: “No, you are mistaken, King of Oahu.” Kakuhihewa then asked Lonoikamakahiki: “And what do you say it is?” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “This is not a shark, it is an ahi.” A e like me ka olelo mua a kona kahu, pepehi iho la o Lonoikamakahiki ia Loli, a hana iho la e like me ka Loli aoao ana. A kuu iho la i ke kai, a olelo iho la e like me ka Loli olelo mua: “E, Loli! E, Loli e, ka ia maka ole o kai! I paa ka kaua ia e, Loli.” Ia manawa koke no, mahope iho o ka pau ana o kana kamailio ana; mau ana ke ahi. Nolaila kahea aku la o Lonoikamakahiki: “E Kakuhihewa e, heaha ka’u ia?” Noho o Kakuhihewa a liuliu olelo aku la ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “Heaha ka ia a ke alii o Hawaii?” I aku o Lanahuimihaku ia Kakuhihewa: “Kohoia aku he mano, no ka mea, ai ae la ka mano i ka makau mua, lalakukui aku la ka mano o lalo.” A no ia mea, e like me ka Lanahuimihaku ma olelo, pela no oia i olelo aku ai ia Lonoikamakahiki: “He mano.” I mai o Lonoikamakahiki: “Aole, lalau ke alii o Oahu nei.” Ninau hou aku o Kakuhihewa ia Lonoikamakahiki: “A heaha la kau?” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Aole keia he mano, he ahi keia ia.”

Because of this reply made by Lonoikamakahiki, Kakuhihewa therefore asked of Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “Is the fish caught by the king of Hawaii really an ahi?” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “The king of Hawaii is deceiving us. Don’t you know that everybody knows that no ahi can be caught in Oahu, and that such fish can only be caught at Niihau and Hawaii fishing stations? Make a wager with him.” Kakuhihewa then called out: “Say, King of Hawaii, let us settle on a wager then. From the Kaena point to the Kaoio point as against your mooring rock.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It is a bet.” A no keia olelo ana aku a Lonoikamakahiki pela, alaila, ninau ae la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “He ahi io anei ka ia a ke alii o Hawaii?” I mai o Lanahuimihaku ma: “Ua wahahee ke alii o Hawaii. Kai noa ua ike no kakou aole he mau koa lawaia ahi o Oahu nei, o Niihau ame Hawaii wale no na aina koa ahi; pili ia aku.” Kahea aku la o Kakuhihewa: “E ke alii o Hawaii e! E pili no hoi paha; mai ka lae o Kaena a ka lae o Kaoio, mau i ko wahi pohaku lana.” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Ua mau.”

As soon as the wager was settled Lonoikamakahiki pulled on the line and when the fish was almost to the surface he allowed it to pull away directly below the double canoe of Kakuhihewa and his companions. At this time Kakuhihewa and his men made out that the fish caught by Lonoikamakahiki was an ahi. As the fish was plainly seen Lanahuimihaku and his companion said to Kakuhihewa: “We are beaten by the king of Hawaii, for here it is; the fish is really an ahi.” Alaila, ma ka pau ana o ka pili a laua, huki ae la o Lonoikamakahiki i ke aho, a kokoke e ikeia ka ia, ia manawa, ahai pono aku la ua ia nei a Lonoikamakahiki malalo pono o na waa o Kakuhihewa ma. Ia manawa ike maopopo ae la ua o Kakuhihewa ma he ahi io ka ia a Lonoikamakahiki. Alaila, i aku o Lanahuimihaku ma ia Kakuhihewa: “Ua eo kakou i ke alii o Hawaii, eia la he ahi io ka ia a ke alii.”

When the fish came up to the side of the canoe of Lonoikamakahiki, Lonoikamakahiki took a wreath of lehua blossoms and a wreath of hala, which had been made ready beforehand for this purpose, and put them around the gills of the fish, and then called out to Kakuhihewa: “Say, King of Oahu, this fish must have come all the way from Hawaii, for it is the yellow-gilled ahi of Umulau, for it is wearing wreaths of hala and of lehua.” A pili ae la ka ia ma ka aoao o na waa o Lonoikamakahiki ma, lawe ae la o Lonoikamakahiki i ka lei lehua a me ka lei hala i hoomakaukau mua ia, a hookomo ae la ma ka api o ka ia, ma na aoao elua, a kahea aku la ia Kakuhihewa: “E ke alii o Oahu e! Mai Hawaii loa mai nei ka keia ia. O ke ahi mahaoo o Umulau, eia la ke lei mai nei i ka lei hala a me ka lei lehua.”

When Kakuhihewa heard these words of Lonoikamakahiki he, as well as those with him, was surprised and therefore asked of Lanahuimihaku and his companion, saying: “Do you two know that the ahi of Hawaii wear wreaths of lehua and hala?” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “The king of Hawaii is deceiving us. Make another wager.” A lohe o Kakuhihewa i keia olelo a Lonoikamakahiki, he mea kupanaha ia ia Kakuhihewa ma. Alaila olelo aku la, ia Lanahuimihaku ma, me ka ninau aku: “Ea, ua ike anei olua, he lei mai no ko Hawaii ahi i ka lehua a me ka hala?” I aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma: “Ua wahahee keia hana ana a ke alii o Hawaii. Piliia aku.”

In obedience to this Kakuhihewa therefore called out: “Say, King of Hawaii, let us make a wager. From the Kaoio point to Mokapu I will place against your mooring rock.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It is a bet.” As soon as the bet was made the stern of the double canoe of Lonoikamakahiki was turned toward the double canoe of Kakuhihewa, the fish was then made fast and Lonoikamakahiki showed the wreaths to Kakuhihewa, so that he was beaten. A ma keia olelo, alaila kahea aku la o Kakuhihewa: “E ke alii o Hawaii e! E pili. Mai ka lae o Kaoio a Mokapu, mau i ko wahi pohaku lana.” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Ua mau.” A holo ka laua olelo, alaila, hoohuli muku ae la na waa o Lonoikamakahiki, a kamakamaka ae la i ka ia a paa, alaila, hoikeike ae la i ka lei lehua a me ka lei hala i mua o Kakuhihewa ma, a eo ae la o Kakuhihewa.

After Kakuhihewa had been beaten, Lanahuimihaku and his companion said to Kakuhihewa: “We have been beaten in all our wagers, and the island of Oahu is almost wholly gone. Now, therefore, we had better do this: let us wager the rest of the island, from Mokapu to Leahi, as against the mooring rock, and let us have a canoe race. The canoe that will reach dry land first shall be the winner. If the king of Hawaii should agree to this then we will surely win, because he has but two rowers.” Mahope iho o keia eo ana o Kakuhihewa, olelo aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma ia Kakuhihewa: “Eo ae la kakou ma keia mau mea, a aneane pau loa o Oahu nei. Nolaila, eia ka pono; e pili aku kakou i kahi i koe, mai Mokapu a Leahi, mau i kahi pohaku lana. E heihei hoe waa, aia no o na waa e kau koke i ka maloo. Ina e ae mai ke alii o Hawaii, alaila, o ke eo no ia ia kakou, no ka mea, elua no ana mau hoe waa.”

Because of these words of Lanahuimihaku and his companion Kakuhihewa called out: “Say, King of Hawaii, let us make another wager for the rest of the island.” Lonoikamakahiki then asked: “What shall we do?” Kakuhihewa replied: “Let us have a canoe race. Let the double canoe that will reach dry land first be the winner, and let that portion of the island of Oahu that is left be placed against your mooring rock.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It is a bet.” After the bets had been made, Lonoikamakahiki said to Kakuhihewa: “You had better go on ahead.” When Lanahuimihaku and his companion heard Lonoikamakahiki ask of Kakuhihewa to proceed on ahead, they urged Kakuhihewa to order the rowers to go ahead. The order was therefore given and they started off. A no keia olelo a Lanahuimihaku ma, olelo aku la o Kakuhihewa: “E ke alii o Hawaii, hoopauia aku kou aina i puni.” I mai o Lonoikamakahiki: “E aha kaua?” I aku o Kakuhihewa: “E heihei waa kakou, aia no hoi o na waa e kau e i ka maloo, nana ke eo; o kahi no hoi i koe a mau i ko wahi pohaku lana.” I aku la o Lonoikamakahiki: “Ua mau.” Mahope iho o ka laua pili ana, kena aku la o Lonoikamakahiki ia Kakuhihewa: “Holo e aku mamua.” A lohe o Lanahuimihaku ma i keia huaolelo kena a Lonoikamakahiki, i aku la ia Kakuhihewa, me ka hoolale koke aku o Lanahuimihaku ma ia Kakuhihewa e olelo aku i na hoe waa e hoe. A o ka holo iho la no ia.

After Kakuhihewa and his companions had started Lonoikamakahiki ordered his rowers to partake of some food. The men then took some food. By this time Kakuhihewa and his companions were almost out of sight. When they finished their meal Lonoikamakahiki ordered his rowers, Kaiehu and Kapahi, to row away. At the order the men began to row, taking the Koolauloa way and by way of Kona and then on in toward Waimanalo. After going for some time Kakuhihewa and his men laid to and awaited for the approach of Lonoikamakahiki, thinking that when they came up nearer they would then make land. A hala aku la ko Kakuhihewa ma mau waa; alaila, kena aku la o Lonoikamakahiki i kona mau hoe waa e paina; alaila, paina lakou. Aka o Kakuhihewa ma, ke aneane aku la e nalowale lakou mai ko Lonoikamakahiki ma mau maka aku. Ia manawa, hoolale koke ae la o Lonoikamakahiki i kona mau hoe waa elua, ia Kaiehu a me Kapahi, e hoe. Alaila o ka holo iho la no ia, ma Koolauloa ka holo ana a hiki ma Kona, a hoea ae maloko o Waimanalo. Aka, o Kakuhihewa ma, hoolana iho la lakou, me ke kali o ka hoea mai mahope o lakou, me ka manao a kokoke mai alaila hoopae loa na waa i ka maloo.

While they were waiting, Lonoikamakahiki, on the other hand, was coming inside of the Waimanalo reef and was almost at Kailua. When Lonoikamakahiki and his men were about to get to the landing place Kakuhihewa for the first time caught sight of them, so he said to Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “I want you two to look and see what double canoe that is that is entering the landing place.” Lanahuimihaku and his companion then looked and said: “That canoe is Lonoikamakahiki’s. We are beaten.” Kakuhihewa then said to Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “Where did they come from?” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “They must have come by way of Koolau, then by way of Waianae and Kona.” Kakuhihewa said: “I thought you said that we were to win this race; but here it is we are beaten. You two are indeed strange. Here the whole of the island is gone, all through your advice, which I have always obeyed. Now my kingdom is lost to Lonoikamakahiki.” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “We were made bold to make a request for a canoe race with the king of Hawaii because we saw we have sixteen rowers while the king of Hawaii has but two.” When Kakuhihewa lost this last wager he lost the whole of the island of Oahu to Lonoikamakahiki. Ia manawa a lakou e kali la, aia nae o Lonoikamakahiki e holo mai ana maloko o Waimanalo, a hiki ae i Kailua. Ia Lonoikamakahiki ma e holo ae ana a kokoke i ke awa, ia manawa ko Kakuhihewa ike ana aku, alaila, olelo aku la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “E nana ae olua i keia mau waa e holo ae la maloko.” I aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma: “O Lonoikamakahiki kela mau waa, ua eo kakou.” I aku la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “Mahea ae nei hoi ko lakou holo ana?” I aku o Lanahuimihaku ma: “Ma Koolau ae nei a ma Waianae, a ma Kona loa ae nei paha.” I aku o Kakuhihewa: “I ae hoi oe na kakou ke eo ke heihei, eia mai nei ka hoi na lakou la. Kupanaha olua; he puni wale ae no koe o ka aina; mamuli o ka olua mau olelo wale no makou e hoolohe nei, a lilo ko’u noho aimoku ana ia Lonoikamakahiki.” I aku o Lanahuimihaku ma: “I aa aku maua i ka heihei me ke alii o Hawaii, no ko maua ike iho, he umikumamaono ko kakou mau hoe waa, a elua wale no o ke alii o Hawaii.” A eo ae la o Kakuhihewa, pau loa o Oahu ia Lonoikamakahiki.

After this last wager Kakuhihewa wagered his daughter with the expectation of winning back his lands. The game they played, however, was the game of konane. Kakuhihewa was an expert at the game; in fact this was the one thing in which he excelled in all the games he had made a study of, and knowing this Kakuhihewa challenged Lonoikamakahiki. This challenge Lonoikamakahiki accepted. Lonoikamakahiki, on the other hand, was not an expert in the game of konane, for the only time he played the game was when they were staying at Kalaupapa, where he played with his cousin, his wife. Mahope iho o keia mau mea, pili aku la o Kakuhihewa i ke kaikamahine ana, e hoi ka aina iaia, ma ke konane nae. O Kakuhihewa hoi, o ke konane kana mea oi o ke akamai mamua o kana mau hana apau i ao ai, nolaila, aa aku la o Kakuhihewa e konane me Lonoikamakahiki. A ae mai no o Lonoikamakahiki. Aka, o Lonoikamakahiki, aole oia i ao i ke konane, o kona manawa i ike iki ai, oia no kela noho ana ma Kalaupapa me kona kaikuahine wahine.

After the bets had been made the stones were placed in position. Lonoikamakahiki then said to Kakuhihewa: “You make the first move.” Kakuhihewa therefore made the first move, and Lonoikamakahiki followed with the next. Kakuhihewa made another move, and Lonoikamakahiki made his. Kakuhihewa made several moves and so did Lonoikamakahiki. After this Lonoikamakahiki had his own way with the game. Of course Kakuhihewa was beaten in the first game, but since they had agreed before the start that two games must be won before the winner can claim the wager, the stones were again placed on the board and Lonoikamakahiki made the first move. In this second game Lonoikamakahiki proved to be the best player, and the game was almost won when it was stopped because of the arrival of Kaikilani at Kailua from Hawaii. Hoomaka ae la na pili a laua a pau, alaila, kau na iliili apau, olelo aku o Lonoikamakahiki ia Kakuhihewa: “O kau lawe mua.” Nolaila, lawe ae la o Kakuhihewa i ka iliili mua, a lawe o Lonoikamakahiki, kui mai la o Kakuhihewa, a holo aku o Lonoikamakahiki ia Kakuhihewa: “O kau lawe mua.” Nolaila, lawe ae la o Kakuhihewa i ka iliili mua, a lawe o Lonoikamakahiki, kui mai la o Kakuhihewa, a holo aku o Lonoikamakahiki, a holo pu me Kakuhihewa, alaila lilo ka hauna hope ia Lonoikamakahiki. Ma ia konane ana, make iho la o Kakuhihewa, a ua hooholo hoi laua i ka olelo aia a elua hauna ana, alaila eo kekahi o laua. A nolaila, kau hou ka papa konane a pau na iliili i ke kau, lilo ia Lonoikamakahiki ka lawe mua o ka iliili; a ma ia konane ana a laua, aneane no e make ia Lonoikamakahiki; ia manawa, ia laua e konane ana, hiki mai la o Kaikilani ma Kailua, mai Hawaii mai.

When the people saw a double canoe approaching they mentioned the fact and Lonoikamakahiki looked up and saw that it was Kaikilani, but not wanting to see her, in order to live up to the law laid down by him while in Molokai, after he had beaten Kaikilani, he therefore kept his face down onto the board so that he would not see her. A ike aku la na kanaka i na waa, nana aku la o Lonoikamakahiki, a ike aku la o Kaikilani keia, alaila, aole he makemake e ike aku i ko Kaikilani mau maka, a i mea e like ai me kona kanawai i kau ai i Molokai mahope iho o kona pepehi ana ia Kaikilani, nolaila, hoolilo loa iho la o Lonoikamakahiki i kona mau maka i ka papa konane, i ole ai oia e ike aku ia Kaikilani.

Kaikilani, on the other hand, when she came ashore approached the wall surrounding the house and on coming to the railing she saw Lonoikamakahiki playing konane, with his face turned toward the inside of the house. Upon seeing Lonoikamakahiki, Kaikilani recited the chant in his honor, similar to the one that appears in Chapter V. The chant was recited by her as follows: A o Kaikilani hoi, iaia i pae mai ai iuka, hele aku la oia a ku mawaho o ka pa, ma ka paehumu hoi, ike aku la oia ia Lonoikamakahiki e konane ana, ua huli aku ke alo iloko o ka hale. Ia manawa, hana aku la o Kaikilani i ka inoa o Lonoikamakahiki e like me ka mea i hoikeia ma ka Mokuna V. A penei kana kahea ana aku:

There are two of Honokeana Keana;

There are two caves of Opihi;

There are three Kahana;

Two Mailepai;

Two Honokawai;

Kekaa making the third.

There are four Mahinahina

On the top of Alaeloa.

There are four lands containing Hono:

That makes four lands containing Hono.

The foundation, the joining together of the isles.

They join and hug like lovers.

Scrape away, scrape away.

There is Hilo

Thatching,

Ridging;

There is your lover

Passing by.

The mouth is closed,

The hand beckons,

The eyes also beckon,

Else he will be ashamed

And weep at

The quiet cliffs.

Water is on Oahu,

It shows there above.

Kaunuohua is low

Like a crawling hill at Nihoa.

That cliff,

This cliff,

That fence of wood.

The great one there below,

He sits;

He sits, he stands,

He points, he sticks out his tongue,

Kukahaulani.

He has the eyes of a bird,

Head of a bird,

Beak of a bird,

Tongue of a bird,

Neck of a bird,

Breast of a bird,

Wing of a bird,

Body of a bird,

Leg of a bird,

Tail of a bird,

Knee of a bird,

Feet of a bird,

Claws of a bird,

Feathers of a bird,

Neck of a bird,

Crop of a bird,

Liver of a bird,

Intestine of a bird.

Since you are a small bird,

Out you must go

In the upland wilderness,

For such is the way you dwell in Kona.

And catch the spawn of the Ii

And carry the spawn of Keaau.

O thou Hanalei!

Hanalei, the source of the rains,

Made low from carrying such a burden,

Who has stood on the hill top

Whose shadow has reached the bottom.

They are greatly wearied by the roughness [of the sea].

Lift up the canoe,

Get aboard, paddle away, get on.

Let the people get aboard

With the sounding sticks,

With the binding ropes,

With the floaters.

The canoe master is aboard;

It is Lelepahu of Hawaii;

It is the large Hawaii of Kane;

It is Hilo of Kane of Kapu;

It is Hilo with the high cliffs;

It is Ku, the Lehua-eater;

The bosom companion of Kalalea and others

Who dwell there.

The house stands in Kona,

The front faces Koolau,

The wall faces Tahiti.

The posts were from Halawa

In Kauhuhu of Pele, of Peue.

Molokai is the back,

Lanai the front,

Molokini the thatching ropes.

Wailuku is the source of the flying clouds.

It is a broad plain where councils are held.

The ridging is Lanakila.

Kaluanui of Kaluanui,

It stands by the twin hills,

The palm houses of Kane

Which were thatched for me at Auwahi.

The potatoes of Puukamaele,

Of Kipapai, of Honokaupu,

Of the Oopu of Waikolu.

I am going home to partake of some food.

The kala shall be my fish

Until satisfied.

It is a fish sacred to my god.

Let the canoe enter

At Kaluakoi,

The barren coast of Puumomi,

At the entrance of Wailau,

Of Umipiilani.

It is the mirage of Mana;

It is as though following behind;

The water is following;

The water of Kamakahou is following;

The water that is not water,

The water of Mana.

Like the sea is the water,

Like the water is the sea.

The sugar-cane trash from my eating

Was cast away, left behind, forgotten.

After I had gone beyond

I failed to recognize.

What was seen behind, again appears in front.

The iliau has wilted in the sun

[As] the plentiful dew of the morning.

What was seen behind, again appears in front

Of Laauhaele.

Passed are the emblems of the god of the year,

Gone to bury the dead

[On] the barren sands of Nonohili.

The coconut grove bends low seaward of Pokii,

In reverence to [the god] Makalii.

Dearly I love the icy waters of Malama.

Lonoikamakahiki is growing.

It is Kamakahikikaiakea

Of the plain of Kohala of Wakiu,

Of Lanikaula,

My isle of the sea.

Say, Lono,

I have recognized your back;

I have sung to you; the hearing,

The seeing is yours. Say, Lono,

At the close of Kaikilani’s call or chant in honor of the name of Lonoikamakahiki he turned around and pretended as though it was the first time he had seen his cousin who had been standing outside of the enclosure. At sight of her, Lonoikamakahiki could scarcely contain himself, and his love for her was such that, try as he would, he could not withhold his tears; he was, however, able to refrain from crying out aloud. Apau ka Kaikilani kahea ana mai i ka inoa o Lonoikamakahiki, alaila huli mai la o Lonoikamakahiki i hope, i nana aku ko ia nei hana, o ke kaikuahine keia ona e ku nei mawaho; ia manawa nui ae la ko Lonoikamakahiki aloha, aole nae e hiki ke hoomanawanui i kona uwe ana, aka, aole nae oia i uwe me ka leo, ma ke kulu o kona mau waimaka i ike ia ai kona uwe ana.

As his cousin had chanted in honor of his name, it was for him to respond by chanting her name; but being unable to recall the chant at that time he looked steadily at Lanahuimihaku and his companion, for he knew that these two men were familiar with the chant, and knowing this Lonoikamakahiki looked at them with the hope that they would realize his inability to recite the chant and they do it for him. But Lanahuimihaku and his companion, however, did not wish to come to his assistance, for they were supporters of Kakuhihewa. A no ke kahea ana mai o ke kaikuahine i ko Lonoikamakahiki inoa, alaila nana pono aku la ua o Lonoikamakahiki ia Lanahuimihaku ma, no ka mea, ua makemake oia e hana aku i ko Kaikilani inoa, aka, aole he loaa, a oia ko Lonoikamakahiki mea i nana pono aku ai ia Lanahuimihaku ma, na mea i loaa ko Kaikilani inoa. Aka aole nae he makemake o Lanahuimihaku ma e hana aku i ka inoa, no ka mea, aia ma ko Kakuhihewa aoao ko laua manao nui.

After a time, however, the first four lines of Kaikilani’s chant came to his memory, and together with a few lines which he picked up Lonoikamakahiki chanted the following response to the chant in his honor: Ia manawa, loaa ae la ia Lonoikamakahiki na lalani mua eha o ko Kaikilani inoa, a huipu ae la me na lalani mele apo wale a ua o Lonoikamakahiki, alaila haliu aku la a kahea aku la i ka inoa o ke kaikuahine ma ke mele penei:

My cliff of lehua at Kilou, My land of lehua there below, My man of lehua on the cliff, Lehua of my land. You must tell the others That I am your cousin. Yes—. Yes—. Yes—. I was at that hill, I was at this hill, Muss up your apparel. The cliff of lehua looked on As I was jumping down. Kuu pali lehua i Kilou, Kuu aina lehua i lalo-e, Kuu kanaka lehua i ka pali, Lehua o kuu aina. E i ae oe ia lakou la He keikunane wau nou. Ae—. Ae—. Ae—. A kela puu wau, A keia puu au, Lumilumi i kou aahu. Nana mai ka pali lehua Owau e lehei aku ana.

When Kakuhihewa heard Lonoikamakahiki’s response to the name of his cousin, Kakuhihewa remarked: “Lonoikamakahiki is chanting somebody else’s name instead of his own.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It is done. I am going to recite it, but I must first weep with the stranger.” A lohe o Kakuhihewa i ka hana a Lonoikamakahiki i ka inoa o ke kaikuahine, i mai la ua o Kakuhihewa: “Aia o ua o Lonoikamakahiki, ke hana ala i ko hai inoa, aole i hana mai i kona inoa.” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Ua hana hoi; kai noa e hana aku ana, e uwe ae hoi me ka malihini.”

Ia manawa, hele mai la o Kaikilani a honi i ka ihu o Lonoikamakahiki, a uwe iho la. A no ka hoolale pinepine mai o Kakuhihewa ia Lonoikamakahiki e hana i ka inoa o ua o Lonoikamakahiki, alaila, ninau aku la o Kaikilani ia Lonoikamakahiki: “Heaha kela a lakou la e olelo pinepine mai nei ia oe e hana ae?” I aku la o Lonoikamakahiki: “E olelo mai ana lakou la ia’u e hana wau i kuu inoa, no ka mea, ua olelo o Lanahuimihaku ma, he alii inoa ole au.” I aku o Kaikilani: “Uoki ka uwe a kaua, hana ia aku ka lakou la koi.” Alaila, haliu aku la o Lonoikamakahiki a kahea aku la imua o ka aha i kona inoa, a hana pu aku la no hoi me Kaikilani. Oia kela mele maluna ae.

A pau ka Lonoikamakahiki ma hana ana i ua inoa nei ona, alaila, olelo aku la o Lonoikamakahiki ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “He oi olua o na kanaka lapuwale nui wale. No’u paha auanei ka noho a lilo ia’u keia moku o Oahu nei, koli ola ia olua e a’u.”

CHAPTER VII. The Dispute Between Kakuhihewa and Lonoikamakahiki About Hauna. MOKUNA VII. Ka Hoopapa Hou Ana o Kakuhihewa me Lonoikamakahiki no Hauna.

The dispute between the king of Oahu and the king of Hawaii which ended in a contest, spoken of in this chapter, was the last one engaged in by the two, after which Lonoikamakahiki and Kaikilani returned together to Hawaii. O ka hoopapa ana a ke alii o Oahu me ke alii o Hawaii, i olelo ia ma keia mokuna, o keia ka laua hoopapa hope loa, a hoi pu aku la o Lonoikamakahiki me Kaikilani i Hawaii.

The cause of this dispute was entirely about Hauna. It came about in this wise: After Lonoikamakahiki had acquired Oahu through their former contests, Kakuhihewa begged of Lonoikamakahiki to restore to him the island of Oahu, going about it in a way as though he still owned the island, saying: “Say, King of Hawaii, I think you had better restore back to me the lands you have won and let our former wagers be done away with. I think you ought to propose another contest between us, and in case you should beat me in the new contest then the whole of Oahu shall be yours, including the men of high rank and those of the low rank.” O ke kumu o keia hoopapa, no Hauna wale no; no ka mea, mahope iho o ka lilo ana o Oahu ia Lonoikamakahiki ma na pili mua ana, ua noi mai o Kakuhihewa ia Lonoikamakahiki, e hoihoi hou o Oahu iaia; a penei ka Kakuhihewa olelo: “E ke alii o Hawaii, e aho e hoihoi ka aina ia’u, a e hoopau kela pili mua, ame kela eo mua ana. E noonoo hou mai oe i kumu hoopapa hou na kaua, a ina e eo wau ma ke kumu hoopapa hope, alaila, lilo pau loa o Oahu nei ia oe, mai kanaka nui a kanaka liilii.”

This request for a new contest, made by Kakuhihewa, was really the wish of Lanahuimihaku and his companion, for they had heard the remark made by Lonoikamakahiki that they would be put to death by being cut to pieces. This is the reason why Lanahuimihaku and his companion had urged Kakuhihewa to beg of Lonoikamakahiki for a new contest. To this request made by Kakuhihewa, Lonoikamakahiki did not give a subject for their contest. O keia olelo ana a Kakuhihewa pela, no Lanahuimihaku ma, no ka mea, ua olelo o Lonoikamakahiki, e koli ola ia Lanahuimihaku ma. A oia wale no ke kumu i olelo aku ai ua o Lanahuimihaku ia Kakuhihewa, e noi aku ia Lonoikamakahiki e imi hou i kumu hoopapa; aka, aole nae o Lonoikamakahiki i hai aku i kumu hoopapa na laua.

Shortly after this, however, Lonoikamakahiki took up his calabash, which contained his personal effects as well as other things, and placed it in front of him, and then said to Kakuhihewa: “Say, King of Oahu, this calabash is filled with the bones of the chiefs who were killed in the battle on the top of Puumaneo, because there were six district chiefs that were slain by my father and their bones are in this calabash.” Aka, mahope koke iho oia wa no, lawe ae la o Lonoikamakahiki i kona hokeo a ku imua o kona alo, a olelo aku la ia Kakuhihewa: “E ke alii o Oahu nei, o keia hokeo la, ua piha i ka iwi o na ’lii i make i ke kaua i luna o Puumaneo, no ka mea, eono alii aimoku i make i ke kaua a kuu makuakane e waiho nei i loko o ka hokeo.”

Kakuhihewa upon hearing this said: “How you deceive! Who has taught you that that calabash could ever hold the bones of six chiefs?” Lonoikamakahiki said: “I say it. Tomorrow my foster-father Hauna will arrive and he will tell you people about the matter.” Kakuhihewa then said to him: “And who has brought you word that Hauna is to arrive tomorrow?” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “I, myself, say so because of my knowledge.” Kakuhihewa then asked of Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “Say, are the words spoken by the king of Hawaii true, that he can see the future and that Hauna is to arrive tomorrow?” Lanahuimihaku replied: “It is a lie; he has no knowledge of the future. We were the two men who were able to tell him of the future from the time of his father, and this Hauna, who is living on Hawaii, and the attendant whom he killed when we were out fishing were the only men who could tell of the future; but the king there knows nothing at all about the matter.” Kakuhihewa then again asked: “Is it true that Hauna is going to arrive here tomorrow?” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “It is not true. Make a wager with him.” Olelo aku la o Kakuhihewa: “Wahahee wale! Owai kai ao mai ia oe, he pau na ’lii eono iloko o na hokeo?” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Owau no. Aia apopo hiki mai kuu makuakane o Hauna, nana e hai aku ia oukou.” I aku o Kakuhihewa: “A nawai mai nei hoi na olelo au e puka mai ana o Hauna i ka la apopo?” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Na’u no, a na kuu ike.” Ia manawa ninau ae la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “Ea, he oiaio anei kela a ke alii o Hawaii e olelo mai la, he ike kona; a e hiki io mai ana anei o Hauna i ka la apopo?” I aku o Lanahuimihaku: “He wahahee, nawai kona ike; o maua no paha kona mau kanaka ike, mai kona makuakane mai, a o ua o Hauna e noho mai la i Hawaii; a o ke kahu no ona i pepehi ai ia kakou i kai, pau ae la no na kanaka ike; a o ua alii la ea he ole loa.” I hou aku o Kakuhihewa: “He oiaio, e puka mai ana anei o Hauna i ka la apopo?” I aku ua o Lanahuimihaku ma: “He wahahee. Piliia aku.”

Kakuhihewa then said to Lonoikamakahiki: “Say, King of Hawaii, since we have at last found a subject for another contest—the matter of the arrival of Hauna tomorrow—let us, therefore, have one.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “What have you to offer as your wager? A good contest can only be made when one has something to place as a wager.” Kakuhihewa said: “Why not let Oahu be offered as against Hawaii?” Lonoikamakahiki made answer: “When you know that I have already won Oahu you come and again offer it for a wager.” Kakuhihewa said: “You must put away such thoughts, King of Hawaii. It was the small Oahu that we wagered before, and large Oahu is still my own.” Lonoikamakahiki then replied: “It is well, then. The stakes are the island districts. Oahu containing six districts and Hawaii also containing six.” After this bet was made and agreed on, that night Hauna arrived in Kailua, and so the next morning Lonoikamakahiki said to Kakuhihewa: “Hauna has arrived on Oahu.” I aku o Kakuhihewa ia Lonoikamakahiki: “E ke alii o Hawaii-e. He nani ia ua loaa ae la ka kaua kumu hoopapa o Hauna, o kona hiki mai i ka la apopo.” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Auhea kau kumu e pili ai? I ku hoi nei mea o ka pili i ka loaa o ke kumu e pili mai ai.” I mai o Kakuhihewa: “Kai noa no hoi o Oahu nei no a mau ia Hawaii?” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Aia ka a lilo o Oahu nei ia’u, pili mai no?” I hou mai o Kakuhihewa: “Alia hoi ia manao ou e ke alii o Hawaii. Kai noa o Oahu iki ka kaua i pili iho nei, koe no o Oahu nui?” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Ua pono. Ma na moku okana nae ka pili, eono moku o Oahu nei, eono no hoi o Hawaii.” A holo ae la ka laua olelo, ia po iho hiki ae la o Hauna i Kailua, a ao ae, hai aku la o Lonoikamakahiki ia Kakuhihewa: “Ua hiki ae la o Hauna eia i Oahu nei.”

When Kakuhihewa heard these words from Lonoikamakahiki, he sent out his messenger, Kuleonui, a man famous for being a very fast runner, and told him: “You must go around Oahu and look for Hauna. When you find him, kill him, and seize all his property, so that we may be able to defeat the king of Hawaii.” At this Kuleonui started on his trip around the island of Oahu; but he was unable to find Hauna. He therefore returned and reported to Kakuhihewa, saying: “I have made a circuit of Oahu but was unable to find Hauna. He has not arrived even, nor is there a canoe to be seen at sea coming this way, nor is there one hauled up on the shore; none at all.” At this Kakuhihewa began to think that he would beat Lonoikamakahiki. Kakuhihewa then went to Lonoikamakahiki and again asked him: “Has Hauna arrived?” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “He has arrived.” A lohe o Kakuhihewa i keia olelo a Lonoikamakahiki, alaila, kena ae la oia i kana elele ia Kuleonui, he kanaka kaulana oia i ka mama, a olelo aku la: “E hele oe e nana a puni o Oahu nei, a ina i ike oe ia Hauna, alaila e pepehi iho, a hao ae i ka waiwai, i eo ke alii o Hawaii ia kakou.” Alaila holo ae la o Kuleonui a puni o Oahu nei; aole i loaa o Hauna. Hoi aku la, a olelo aku la ia Kakuhihewa: “Hele aku nei wau a puni o Oahu nei, aole i loaa o Hauna, aole no i puka mai, aole he waa holo mai ma ka moana, aole no hoi he waa hekau i ke kai, aole he waa kau i uka, he ole loa no.” Ia manawa i manao ai o Kakuhihewa, e eo ana o Lonoikamakahiki. Alaila, hele aku la o Kakuhihewa a olelo aku ia Lonoikamakahiki, me ka ninau aku: “Ua hiki mai nei anei o Hauna?” I aku o Lonoikamakahiki: “Ua hiki ae la.”

When Kakuhihewa heard this from Lonoikamakahiki, he again sent Kuleonui to make another circuit of Oahu. Again Kuleonui started out and returned to the king to whom he reported, saying: “I have not found him. He has not even arrived,” repeating what he said at the other time. Lohe ae la no o Kakuhihewa i keia olelo a Lonoikamakahiki, kena hou aku la no ia Kuleonui, e holo a puni o Oahu. Alaila, holo hou aku la no, a hoi aku la, hai aku la i ke alii, me ka hoole aku: “Aole i loaa, aole no i hiki mai.” E like no me kana olelo mua.

But, on the first circuit made by Kuleonui on that day, Hauna had already arrived in Kailua and was playing konane with a couple of women when Kuleonui came by, and was recognized by Hauna as a person out looking for some one, by the way he was glancing around. By this, Hauna knew that Kuleonui was a messenger and was able to conceal his identity and was in this way missed by the sharp eyes of the messenger of Kakuhihewa. Aka, ma ke kaapuni mua ana a Kuleonui i ua la la, ua hiki mua ae o Hauna ma Kailua, e konane ana me na wahine; ike aku nae o Hauna ia Kuleonui e holo ana, me ka alawa o na maka, mao a mao, i ike aku ai oia i kona mea i hoounaia mai ai, aole nae oia i ike aku ia Hauna, aka, o Hauna kai ike mua aku ia Kuleonui, a nolaila oia i pee ai, a pakele aku la i na maka o ka elele a Kakuhihewa.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT HAUNA. HE WAHI OLELO NO HAUNA.

While Hauna was living on Hawaii he thought he would come in search of Lonoikamakahiki, so he therefore made ready his personal effects and placed them in his canoes. The chief articles of value that Hauna placed on the canoes, however, were a large number of feather cloaks. The canoes were loaded from stem to stern with these articles. These were the only things in the canoes. Ia Hauna e noho ana i Hawaii, manao ae la oia e imi mai ia Lonoikamakahiki, a nolaila, hoomakaukau ae la oia i na ukana a pau e hooili maluna o kona mau waa. A ka ukana nui o luna o na waa o Hauna, he ahuula. Ua hoopihaia na waa mai mua a hope i ka ahuula, a oia hookahi no ka ukana.

On this voyage from Hawaii he made land at Kailua, where he saw a couple of women playing konane with their husbands. When Hauna saw the game he knew at once by the position of the stones that the men were beaten, so he said to the women: “You two are beaten, providing I was to play you women. I know I can beat you two.” The women replied: “Here is the konane board, go ahead and play.” Hauna said: “Let us delay the game for a while until the messenger of Kakuhihewa passes by; after he passes we will continue with the game. We must, however, cover up the board with a piece of kapa; after that we can discuss as to our wagers, and when that is settled we will begin.” Ia holo ana mai mai Hawaii mai a kau ma Kailua, ike aku la oia e konane ana elua wahine me ka laua mau kane. Ia ike ana aku a Hauna, ua honu ka papa konane, alaila, i aku o Hauna: “Ua make olua, ina owau ko olua hoa konane, make olua ia’u.” I mai ua mau wahine la: “Eia mai no hoi ka papa konane, konane mai.” I aku o Hauna: “Alia kakou e konane, aia a hala aku ka elele a Kakuhihewa, alaila, konane kakou; e pono nae ke uhi i ke kapa ka papa konane, alaila, olelo ka pili mamua, a holo, alaila konane.”

After Kuleonui had passed the place the bet was discussed and agreed on in the following manner: the women said to Hauna: “We have nothing to offer on our side excepting ourselves. If you beat us in this present unfinished game you can take us as your property.” Hauna then said: “I have two double canoes filled with things that are valuable; the chief articles of value on the canoes, however, are a large number of feather cloaks. If you two beat me, you two shall have the goods in the canoes together with the men on board.” The women replied: “It is a bet.” Hauna then said: “Let me make the first move.” A hala aku la o Kuleonui, olelo ae la lakou no ka pili, a hooholo ae la lakou. A penei ka pili ana. Olelo mai na wahine ia Hauna: “Aole a maua kumu e ae e pili aku ai, o na kino wale no o maua, a ina no hoi ua make maua ia oe ma ka hauna o ka papa mua, alaila, lilo no hoi maua nau.” I aku la o Hauna: “He mau waa kaulua ko’u elua, ua piha i ka waiwai; o ka waiwai nui nae o luna, he ahuula, a ina i make wau ia olua, no olua ka waa ame ka ukana o luna apau, a me na kanaka pu o luna.” I mai la na wahine: “Ua mau.” Olelo aku la o Hauna: “Ia’u ka uhau mua i koe.”

It was a fact that before the game was continued, and before the bets were settled and the board covered with the piece of kapa, Hauna knew very well that he was beaten; but upon seeing Kuleonui it gave him an excuse to propose that the board be covered over until the messenger of Kakuhihewa passed by. According to his request the board was covered over. But when the kapa was removed, in order to continue the game, Hauna caught up some of the stones which gave the women the best advantage with the kapa. Hauna then made the first move and after a few more moves the women were beaten. At this he said: “I have won you two.” The women replied: “We have husbands of our own and we cannot see how we can straighten out this difficulty.” The husbands of the two women replied: “You two had better not consider us, because you made your own bet and have lost it yourselves.” The husbands then said to Hauna: “You can take the women as your own property, for you have won them; they were not staked by others; they made the bet themselves.” He oiaio, ma ko lakou hahau mua ana, mamua o ko lakou pili ana, a me ka uhi ana i ke kapa, ua maopopo ia Hauna e make ana oia; aka, no ka ike ana aku ia Kuleonui, nolaila, oia i olelo ai, alia e uhau a hala aku ka elele a Kakuhihewa, e uhi ia ka papa i ke kapa. Aka i ka hoomaka ana e lawe ae i ke kapa, lilo pu ae la me ka iliili a na wahine i ike ai he maikai, ma ka lima o Hauna. Alaila, hahau ae la o Hauna, a make iho la na wahine. I aku la o Hauna: “Ua lilo olua ia’u.” I aku ua mau wahine nei: “He mau kane ka maua, pehea la auanei maua e pono ai?” I aku na kane: “Aole a olua olelo kuhikuhi no maua, no ka mea, ua lilo olua.” Alaila kahea ae la na kane a ua mau wahine la ia Hauna: “Lawe ia na wahine nau, ua eo ia oe, no ka mea, aole na hai aku ka laua mea i pili ai, na laua no.”

Because of this Hauna took the women and tied them together with a loin cloth and led them to the place where the canoes were lying. Because these women were led by Hauna, the place where this act took place was given the name of Kaohao and it so remains to this day. The place is in Kailua, Koolaupoko, Oahu. A no ia mea, lalau aku la o Hauna i na wahine a nakii ae la i ka malo i kekahi wahine ame kekahi wahine, a kauo aku la i kahi a na waa e kau ana. A no ia kauo ana o Hauna i na wahine, nolaila, ua kapaia ka inoa o kela wahi o Kaohao, ma Kailua, Koolaupoko, Oahu, a hiki mai i keia la.

The women were taken by Hauna to the canoes where he said to one of them: “This canoe shall be yours with everything in it from stem to stern, including the men. The men shall be your servants; they are not for you to sleep with.” And as he had spoken to her, so in like manner he spoke to the second woman. He then left the women and proceeded to meet Lonoikamakahiki. Hele pu aku la ua mau wahine nei me Hauna a hiki i na waa, olelo aku la i kekahi wahine: “Eia kou waa a me na ukana o luna mai mua a hope, a eia kou mau kanaka, he mau kanaka lawelawe nou; aole he mau kanaka moe aku nau.” A e like me ka olelo i kela wahine, pela no ka ia nei olelo ana i ka lua o ka wahine. A haalele iho la oia i na wahine, a hele aku la e halawai me Lonoikamakahiki.

CHAPTER VIII. How Lonoikamakahiki Revealed the Bones of the Chiefs Killed by Keawenuiaumi. MOKUNA VIII. Ka Hoike ana a Lonoikamakahiki i ka Iwi o na ’Lii i Make ia Keawenuiaumi.

When Hauna went up to meet Lonoikamakahiki, Lonoikamakahiki said to him: “If you had not arrived this day I would have been cooked in the umu, for it is now ready.” Hauna replied: “You have won. Show them the bones of the chiefs killed in the battle in the time of your father, Keawenuiaumi.” A hiki aku la o Hauna a halawai me Lonoikamakahiki, i aku la o Lonoikamakahiki: “Ina e hiki ole mai nei oe i keia la, o ka pau no ia o’u i kalua, eia la ua makaukau ka umu no’u.” I aku o Hauna: “Ua eo ia oe, hoike ia aku na iwi o na ’lii i make i ke kaua i ka wa o ko makuakane o Keawenuiaumi.”

Ia manawa, lalau ae la o Hauna i na iwi o ko Kohala alii, ua hakuia i ka hulu, ua kamaahaia a paa, a olelo aku la ia Lonoikamakahiki: “Eia keia alii o Palahalaha, ko Kohala alii, ka Wohilani keiki. Me makou no ka noho ana, a ike i ko makou uuku haalele, a i ke kaua nei a ko makuakane i luna o Puumaneo, make no ia makou, lilo na iwi ia makou, komo iloko o ka hokeo.”

Ia manawa lalau aku la o Lonoikamakahiki, a kiola aku la ma ke alo o Kakuhihewa, a kani aku la ke oli:

Level indeed Lies Kohala, Face down. The fragrance is wafted to me Of the flower of Koolau, of Moolau. Low indeed lies Puakea, With Kukuipahu by its side. Here are some more! Palahalaha wale Ka moe a Kohala, I lalo ke alo. Ehuehu mai ana ia’u, Ka pua o Koolau, o Moolau. Kai mai ana ka waiho a Puakea, Kakaako ana Kukuipahu. I na mai ua mea-la!

As this bundle which Lonoikamakahiki threw reached Kakuhihewa he said to Lanahuimihaku and others: “Who is this?” Lanahuimihaku and the others said: “This is Palahalaha, the chief of Kohala, the son of Wohilani. He resided with Keawenuiaumi, and seeing how few we were, left, and at the battle of Keawenuiaumi on Puumaneo we slew him. He was also a younger brother (cousin) of Keawenuiaumi. Kohala is a beautiful country and is a large district.” I ka waiho ana o keia mea a Lonoikamakahiki i hoolei aku ai ma ke alo o Kakuhihewa, alaila, ninau, aku o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “Owai keia?” I aku o Lanahuimihaku ma: “O Palahalaha, o ko Kohala alii, ka Wohilani keiki; me Keawenuiaumi no kahi i noho ai, a ike i ka uuku o makou, haalele, a ke kaua a Keawenuiaumi iluna o Puumaneo make no ia makou. He kaikaina no nae no Keawenuiaumi. He aina maikai o Kohala, he moku nui no.”

Then Hauna again spoke to Lonoikamakahiki: “Here is another chief, and also a younger brother (cousin) of your father’s. He also resided with us, and learning how few we were, left us and fought on the side of the rebels expecting that we would be vanquished, and at our battle on Puumaneo we killed him and stripped his bones and put them away in the gourd.” Alaila, olelo hou aku o Hauna ia Lonoikamakahiki: “Eia hou no keia alii, he kaikaina no no ko makuakane, me makou no kahi i noho ai, a ike i ko makou uuku, haalele ia makou, hele a kipi mai ma kekahi aoao, manao e hee makou, a ke kaua a makou iluna o Puumaneo, make ia makou pau na iwi i ka holehole, komo iloko o ka hokeo.”

Lonoikamakahiki, having heard of these facts, took the bones of the chief of Hamakua, which were plaited with feathers similar to those of the chief of Kohala, and held them in his hands and, before throwing them before Kakuhihewa, began to chant: A lohe o Lonoikamakahiki i keia olelo, alaila lawe ae la oia i na iwi o ke alii o Hamakua a paa i ka lima, ua haku ia no i ka hulu e like me ka hana ana i ko Kohala. A mamua o ko Lonoikamakahiki kiola ana aku ia mea i mua o ko Kakuhihewa alo, alaila oli aku la oia:

You have one, jump in;

You have two, jump in.

They go here and there,

The men in the rain,

The plovers about.

Listen to the raindrops of Hilo.

Canst thou dare

Eat in company?

Akahi au opu mai;

Alua au opu mai.

O Keau wale-a,

A kanaka i ka hele i ka ua,

Kiki a kolea.

He hoolono pakaua o Hilo.

He aa mai oe

E ai pu no-e?

Eia mai ua mea-la!

Waiho keia mea ma ke alo o Kakuhihewa. Ninau ae la ua o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “Owai keia?” Alaila hai aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma: “O Pumaia keia, ke keiki a Wanua, ko Hamakua alii ia, he kaikaina no no Keawenuiaumi, me makou no ka noho ana, a ike i ko makou uuku, haalele, a i ke kaua a makou iluna o Puumaneo, make no ia Keawenuiaumi lilo na iwi ia makou, komo iloko o ka hokeo, oia na mau iwi.”

Hauna drew out the bones of another chief from the calabash and said to Lonoikamakahiki: “Here is another uncle (father) of yours, Hilohamakua, the chief of Hilo, child of Kulukulua, a younger brother (cousin) of your father. He also lived with us, and because there were so few of us left and joined the rebels on the other side, and at the battle fought on Puumaneo your father slew him, stripped his bones and put them in the gourd.” Then Lonoikamakahiki reached for it and chanted: Lalau hou iho la no o Hauna i ka iwi o kekahi alii, mai loko ae o ka hokeo, a olelo aku la ia Lonoikamakahiki: “E! Eia hou no keia makuakane ou, o Hilohamakua, ko Hilo alii, keiki a Kulukulua, he kaikaina no no ko makuakane, me makou no kahi i noho ai, a no ko makou uuku haalele ia makou, hele a ma kekahi aoao, kipi mai, a i ka hoouka kaua a makou i luna o Puumaneo, make no i ko makuakane, pau na iwi i ka holehole, komo iloko o ka hokeo.” Alaila, lalau aku la o Lonoikamakahiki, a oli ae la:

That is Hilo! That is Hilo! That is Hilo of the incessant rains, The increasing rains, The ceaseless rains of Hilo. That is Hamakua of the steep cliffs. The ti leaf of Kamae is tramped down, Hamakua is indeed withered. Here are some more! O Hilo ia, o Hilo ia, O Hilo ia o ka ua kina, Ka ua kinakina, Ka ua mao ole o Hilo; O Hamakua ia he pali, Pepe ka lauki o Kamae, Kamae loa Hamakua. Eia mai ua mea la!

Placing the bundle in front of Kakuhihewa, he asked Lanahuimihaku and others: “Who is this?” They answered: “It is Hilohamakua, Kulukulua’s child, the chief of Hilo, a younger brother (cousin) of Keawenuiaumi. He lived with us, and ascertaining how few we were, went away, and at the battle fought on Puumaneo was slain by Keawenuiaumi. His bones were stripped, put away in the container, and this is he.” Waiho ana ma ke alo o Kakuhihewa. Ninau ae kela ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “Owai keia?” I aku o Lanahuimihaku ma: “O Hilohamakua ia, ka Kulukulua keiki ia, ko Hilo alii ia, he kaikaina no no Keawenuiaumi, me makou no ka noho ana, a ike i ka uuku o makou, haalele, a i ka hoouka kaua a makou iluna o Puumaneo, make no ia Keawenuiaumi, pau na iwi i ka holehole, komo iloko o ka hokeo, oia na.”

Thus three chiefs were accounted for, leaving three more, when Hauna spoke up: “Here is another chief, another uncle of yours, being a younger brother (cousin) of Keawenuiaumi. He resided with us, and because of our meagerness, deserted, and at the battle fought on Puumaneo he was slain by Keawenuiaumi. The bones were stripped and also put away in a gourd.” A pau ae la ekolu alii i ka hoikeia, koe ekolu alii i koe, i hou aku o Hauna: “Eia hou no keia alii, he makuakane no nou, he kaikaina no no Keawenuiaumi, me makou no ka noho ana, a ike i ko makou uuku haalele ia makou, a i ka hoouka kaua a makou i Puumaneo, make no ia Keawenuiaumi, pau na iwi i ka holehole, komo iloko o ka hokeo.”

Lonoikamakahiki then took up Lililehua, the child of Hua-a, the chief of Puna and chanted before Kakuhihewa: Alaila lawe ae la o ua o Lonoikamakahiki ia Lililehua, ka Hua-a keiki, ko Puna alii hoi; a oli aku la i mua o Kakuhihewa:

Lililehua

Is drifting to Waimea,

For Molokai is storm-bound.

My husband then enters the house at Mana.

We two reposed at Wawaenohu

Here are some more!

O Lililehua la

Ko e papai Waimea,

Molokai ua ino.

A pa koolau wahine o lalo,

Komo kuu kane hale Mana.

Momomoe aku maua i Wawaenohu

Ike maua i ka uwe a ke akua la.

Eia mai ua mea la!

This bundle was placed before Kakuhihewa, who inquired who it was. Lanahuimihaku and the others answered: “This is Lililehua, the chief of Puna, the child of Hua-a. He had a beautiful country where even the pandanus and the lehua enter the sea, being the only sweet-scented land on Hawaii. This chief had his home with us; a younger brother (cousin) of Keawenuiaumi, but knowing our numerical weakness, deserted us, and at the battle fought on Puumaneo we slew him, stripped all his bones, put them in a container, and this is he.” A waiho aku la keia mea ma ke alo o Kakuhihewa, alaila ninau ae la o oia: “Owai keia?” I aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma: “O Lililehua ia, o ko Puna alii, ka Hua-a keiki; no ia nei ka aina maikai, o ka hele no ia o ka hala a me ka lehua a luu i ke kai, o ka aina aala hookahi no keia o Hawaii, me makou no ka noho ana o keia alii, he kaikaina no no Keawenuiaumi, ike i ko makou uuku, haalele ia makou; a i ka hoouka kaua a makou iluna o Puumaneo, make no ia makou, pau na iwi i ka holehole ia, komo iloko o ka hokeo, oia na.”

Hauna again produced the bones of another chief from the gourd, the chief of Kau, and said to Lonoikamakahiki: “Here is another chief, that of Kau. He is also an uncle (father) of yours and a younger cousin (brother) of Keawenuiaumi. He also lived with us, and seeing how few we were, deserted, and at the battle of Puumaneo was slain by Keawenuiaumi. We secured his bones and put them away in the gourd.” A pau keia, lalau hou no o Hauna i ka iwi o kekahi alii iloko o ka hokeo, i ko Kau alii, a olelo aku la ia Lonoikamakahiki: “Eia hou no keia alii, o ko Kau alii, he makuakane no nou, he kaikaina no no Keawenuiaumi, me makou no kahi i noho ai, a ike i ka uuku o makou, haalele; a ke kaua iluna o Puumaneo, make no ia Keawenuiaumi, lilo na iwi ia makou, komo iloko o ka hokeo.”

Lonoikamakahiki, holding the bones in his hands, chanted: Alaila, lawe ae la o Lonoikamakahiki a paa ma ka lima, alaila oli aku la:

Dear is the house of Milo in the sun,

The elevated house of Moanauli.

Your skin is bruised without cause,

Bruised as though by a lover.

This lover is from Hanalei,

My lover of the awa leaf of Puna.

Here are some more!

Aloha Kahalemilo o ka la la,

Hale pakaiaulu o Moanauli.

Uli hewa ka ili,

Mehe mea i moe a ipo la.

No Hanalei nei aloha,

No kuu kane lau awa o Puna.

Kumoena kalukalu Kapaa,

Ohai huli Papiohuli.

Eia mai ua mea la!

Lonoikamakahiki tossed the bones to Kakuhihewa and asked of Lanahuimihaku and others: “Who is this?” Lanahuimihaku and the others answered: “This is Kahalemilo, the child of Imaikalani, the chief of Kau. He was also a younger brother (cousin) to Keawenuiaumi, and he was also one of those who resided with us, and finding out how few we were, left us and took to fighting us on Puumaneo, but he was also slain, and this is he.” Hoolei aku la ua o Lonoikamakahiki i na iwi haule ana ma ke alo o Kakuhihewa. Alaila, ninau ae la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “Owai keia?” I aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma: “O Kahalemilo keia, o ka Imaikalani keiki, ko Kau alii, he kaikaina no no Keawenuiaumi, me makou no kahi i noho ai, a no ko makou uuku, haalele ia makou, a manao e kaua mai ia makou, a luna o Puumaneo, make no ia makou, oia na.”

Hauna again produced the bones of the chief of Kona and said to Lonoikamakahiki: “Here is another chief, Moihala, the child of Heapae, the chief of Kona. He was also a younger brother (cousin) of your father. He lived with us, and because we were few, deserted and went elsewhere; he rebelled against Keawenuiaumi, and at your father’s battle on Puumaneo was also slain, the bones stripped and put into the gourd.” Alaila, lawe hou ae la no o Hauna i na iwi o ko Kona alii, a olelo aku la ia Lonoikamakahiki: “Eia hou no keia alii, o Moihala ke keiki a Heapae, ko Kona alii, he kaikaina no no ko makuakane, me makou no ka noho ana, a no ka ike i ko makou uuku, haalele, hele a ma kahi e, kipi mai ia Keawenuiaumi, a i ka hoouka kaua ana a ko makuakane iluna o Puumaneo, pau no ia makou i ka make, holeholeia na iwi, komo iloko o ka hokeo.”

Lonoikamakahiki, holding the bones in his hands, chanted thus: Alaila, lawe ae la o Lonoikamakahiki a paa ma ka lima, a oli aku la:

This is Moihala, Inquiring of the wind, The bird of Kuolohia. Waialeale, the mountain, Waialeale, the mountain. Kawaikini is flowing, Of Kane in the calm. I, the lover, shall follow To Waialua where I leave her, Leave her in the home of friends. It was there I found friends, Where I may visit. Here are some more! O Moihala nei, Ke nonoi ae la i ka makani, Ka manu o Kuolohia. O Waialeale, i ka mauna, O Waialeale, i ka mauna. Kahe Kawaikini, A Kane i ka lai. E ukali aku au o ka ipo, Waialua la waiho, I waiho i ka hale makamaka. Loaa ke kauna, Kahi e kipa aku ai. Eia ua mea la!

Lonoikamakahiki threw the bones in front of Kakuhihewa, who inquired of Lanahuimihaku and the others who it was. They answered: “This is Moihala, the chief of Kona, a large division of Hawaii. Moihala was also a younger brother (cousin) of Keawenuiaumi. He resided with us, and finding out how few we were, left, went to the opposite side, a rebel. He thought by rebelling he would be safe, but when putting in an appearance at our battle at Puumaneo he was slain by Keawenuiaumi.” Hoolei aku la o Lonoikamakahiki, pahu ana ma ke alo o Kakuhihewa; alaila ninau ae la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “Owai keia?” I aku la laua: “O Moihala keia, o ko Kona alii, he okana nui keia o Hawaii. He kaikaina no nae o Moihala no Keawenuiaumi; me makou no ka noho ana, a no ka ike i ko makou uuku, haalele ia makou, hele a ma kekahi aoao, kipi mai kuhi ia kipi ana ana e pakele; i pii ae ka hana i ka hoouka kaua a makou iluna o Puumaneo make no ia Keawenuiaumi.”

After the final production made by Lonoikamakahiki of the bones of the chief of Kona, Lonoikamakahiki conquered the whole of Oahu. Following this incident, Lonoikamakahiki spoke to Kaikilani: “Inasmuch as we have made the circuit of Oahu, you, of us, had better remain; it is good land, with inhabitants both large and small.” Kaikilani answered: “It is agreeable to me; but we had better go to put Hawaii on a satisfactory basis, then return again to Oahu. There are the chiefs of Hawaii; they have rebelled and have confiscated everything. As for yourself, upon arriving at Hawaii, wage battle, as the men have been thickly arrayed from Anaehoomalu to the front of Kauhola.” Ma keia hoike hope ana a Lonoikamakahiki i ko Kona alii, o ka pau loa no hoi ia o Oahu nei ia Lonoikamakahiki. Mahope iho o keia manawa, olelo aku la o Lonoikamakahiki ia Kaikilani: “He nani ia ua puni ae nei Oahu nei ia kaua, noho oe o kaua, eia la he aina oluolu, he kanaka iki, kanaka nui.” I aku la o Kaikilani: “Ua pono ia, aka, e hoi kaua e hooponopono ia Hawaii a pono, alaila hoi hou mai ia Oahu nei; aia na ’lii o Hawaii la ua kipi, ua hao ae la na ’lii a pau, ia oe, o ko hiki no i Hawaii o ka hoouka no ia o ke kaua; pania mai la no e na kanaka mai Anaehoomalu a ka lae o Kauhola.”

Because of this remark of Kaikilani, Lonoikamakahiki had the canoes prepared immediately and departed. On this voyage Lonoikamakahiki did not touch at Kohala but proceeded on to Kealakekua. Upon arrival there with his men, the chiefs of Kona and the men were all at Kohala awaiting the arrival of Lonoikamakahiki there to be slaughtered by them. Upon Lonoikamakahiki’s arrival he sent a messenger to Kau to get Pupuakea to come to meet his elder brother (Lonoikamakahiki) to consult concerning putting to an end the rebellious chiefs of Hawaii. A no keia olelo ana aku a Kaikilani pela, hoolale koke ae la o Lonoikamakahiki i na waa, a holo aku la lakou. Ma keia holo ana a Lonoikamakahiki, aole nae i holo aku ma Kohala, aka, mawaho loa no a hiki i Kealakekua. Ia hiki ana aku o Lonoikamakahiki ma ua pau mai na ’lii o Kona a pau a me na kanaka i Kohala, no ke kali no ia Lonoikamakahiki o ka puka aku no ma Kohala o ka luku no. Aka ia Lonoikamakahiki i hiki aku ai, hoouna aku la oia i elele i Kau, e kii aku ia Pupuakea, e hele mai e halawai me kona kaikuaana (Lonoikamakahiki) i kuka ai laua no ka luku aku i na ’lii kipi o Hawaii.

After Pupuakea arrived, they held a council of war and a decision was arrived at. Pupuakea then sent a messenger calling upon all the men to come to do battle. Kau was the only district which had not rebelled, because Pupuakea took up his residence there after Lonoikamakahiki departed for Oahu. The men having been informed, came over by the upper part of Kau to upper Kona, but the messenger that was sent reached Kealakekua, where Lonoikamakahiki and Pupuakea were living. After receiving the information that the men had come overland, Lonoikamakahiki and Pupuakea went to intercept them at Puuanahulu, and that was the place where the men were arrayed in battle formation. About this time, however, the rebels who were down at Anaehoomalu observed that the clinkers at Puuanahulu were red with people, which was a matter of surprise to the rebels. Some of them thought there was a battle being fought, while others conjectured they were some of their own men, being under the impression that Lonoikamakahiki was still at Oahu, for no news had been received that he, Lonoikamakahiki, had arrived at Kealakekua. A i ka hiki ana mai o Pupuakea, kuka ae la laua a holo, alaila hoounaia aku la kekahi elele e Pupuakea, e kii aku i na kanaka a pau e hele mai no ke kaua. No ka mea, o Kau, oia wale no ka okana i koe aole i kipi, no ka mea, malaila no o Pupuakea kahi i noho ai, mahope iho o ko Lonoikamakahiki holo ana i Oahu. A lohe ae la na kanaka, alaila, hele mai la lakou mauka o Kau a mauka o Kona, a o ka luna hoi i hoounaia, hiki mai la ia ma Kealakekua, ma kahi e noho ana o Lonoikamakahiki laua me Pupuakea. Mahope iho o keia lohe ana ua hala ae na kanaka mauka, alaila, hele aku la o Lonoikamakahiki laua o Pupuakea, a halawai aku la me na kanaka i Puuanahulu, a malaila kahi i hoonoho ai o ke kaua. Aka nae, ia manawa, ike mai la ka aoao kipi i kai o Anaehoomalu i ka ula o ke a o Puuanahulu i na kanaka, he mea haohao nae ia i na kipi. Manao nae kekahi poe kipi, he kaua; a ma ka manao hoi o kekahi poe, he poe kanaka no no lakou (na kipi), no ka mea, ua manaoia, aia no o Lonoikamakahiki i Oahu, no ka mea hoi, aole he poe nana i olelo aku, ua puka ae o Lonoikamakahiki i Kealakekua.

During the night of the day on which the rebels were surprised, Lonoikamakahiki and his younger brother Pupuakea, together with the men, came down prepared to give battle. On the night the men left Puuanahulu to go down, the rebels realized there was to be war, because there were in the hands of the men torches burning from the van to the rear of the war procession of Lonoikamakahiki. Then it was that the rebels made preparations for battle, sending out messengers to inform the men and the chiefs on their side that had been stationed from Anaehoomalu to distant Kohala. Ma kela la a na kipi e haohao la, a ma ia po iho, iho aku la o Lonoikamakahiki me kona kaikaina me Pupuakea, a me na kanaka a pau i makaukau no ka hoouka kaua. I kela po, i na kanaka i iho aku ai mai Puuanahulu aku, ia manawa, manao ae la na kipi he kaua keia, no ka mea, aia ma ka lima o na kanaka, na lama (he mau ihoiho kukui) e a ana mai mua a hope o ka huakai kaua a Lonoikamakahiki. Nolaila, hoomakaukau ae la na kipi i ke kaua, a hoouna aku la i luna e hai aku i na kanaka a me na ’lii o ka aoao kipi i hoonohoia mai Anaehoomalu a Kohala loa.
