By this chant recited by Kamapuaa, Hina began to think that this must be Kamapuaa himself, and so she became afraid, because it was she who went to Kalihi and there lost her calabash of crabs. Ma keia oli ana a Kamapuaa, noonoo o Hina, o Kamapuaa keia. Makau iho la, nokamea o Hina no ka wahine i hele i Kalihi, a lilo ai ka ipu papai.

Nolaila, wahi aku ana o Hina i ke kua o ka hale, i wahi e puka ai i waho, no ka mea, ua paa ka puka ia Kamapuaa. A hemo o Hina i waho o ka hale, holokiki aku la ia e olelo ia Kahikiula a me Kahikihonuakele. E mama awa ana nae laua. I aku o Hina: “E! O Kamapuaa ei ae, ua hiki mai nei.” Nolaila, hele aku la lakou e aloha me ka hoohaahaa i mua o Kamapuaa, a oli aku la o Hina i ka inoa o Kamapuaa, i mea e oluolu mai ai.

In the top of the kukui on Hanunanuna, On the shores of Waimalu, My sire, it is raining. I have no gifts to offer so as to appease your anger, For there is but the insufficient heavens, For the tears are coming down as rain. It is raining; I am wet; My body is wet with the rain, My son of the cliffs carried on the bosom. I luna kukui o Hanunanuna, I ke kaha o Waimalu, Kuu kane ua—e! Aohe makana i ko inaina e! Eia ka lani poko la, He waimaka ke ua iho nei, Ke ua iho nei a pulu la, Pulu kuu kino i ka manao la, Kuu keiki o ka pali hii e!

Hina then approached Kamapuaa and laid down at his feet, and Kamapuaa sat on her. Kahikiula then chanted a mele in honor of Kamapuaa, saying: Hele aku la o Hina a moe malalo o Kamapuaa, noho iho la o Kamapuaa i luna o Hina. Oli mai la o Kahikiula i ka inoa o Kamapuaa:

In the top of the kukui on Hanunanuna, On the shores of Waimea, My sire, it is raining. I have no gifts to offer so as to appease your anger, The only gift is my tears. It is raining; I am wet. I luna kukui o Hanunanuna, I ke kaha o Waimea, Kuu kane ua—e! Aohe a’u makana i ko huhu, Hookahi makana o ka waimaka, Ke ua iho nei e, a pulu la.

Kahikiula then approached Kamapuaa and laid down at his feet like Hina. Kahikihonuakele then chanted his mele in honor of Kamapuaa, saying: Hele aku la o Kahikiula a moe iho la malalo o Kamapuaa, e like me Hina. O Kahikihonuakele, kau mai la i kana mele ia Kamapuaa:

Your son was born a bundle.

This is indeed your name,

Which grew in the uplands of Kaliupeapea,

The hala and the lehua were in the uplands,

Which sprouted in the uplands of Kaliuwaa.

This is your name; make answer.

Hanau ae no apopo ka olua keiki,

O kou inoa no ka hoi keia,

O iliala i ka hau anu o Kaala,

Ko ili mahuna i ka awa,

O ka ua kilinoe hau o Keke,

O kou inoa ia e o mai.

Kaulu Seeks His Kind Brother.—Encounters Ghosts and Other Obstacles.—He Drinks up the Sea.—Awakes Makalii for Aid.—Kaaona Foiled.—Shark Kalakeenuiakane.—The Sea Restored.—Of Haumea.—Lonokaeho of Eight Foreheads Overcome.—Mokolii, the Wizard, Killed. Kaao no Kaulu. Imi Kaulu i ke Kaina Oluolu.—Paio me na Uhane Lapu me na Pilikia.—Inu Oia i ke Kai.—Hoala ia Makalii no ke Kokua.—Hoka o Kaaona.—Mano, Kalakeenuiakane.—Hoi hou ke Kai.—No Haumea.—Hee Lonokaeho o na Lae Ewalu.—Make Mokolii, ke Kupua.

He keiki opiopio o Kaulu, no Kailua, i Koolau, Oahu. O Kukaohialaka, ka makuakane. He pauku kaula ia i kona hanau ana, a he mau kaikuaana kona elua. O Kaholeha, ka mea aloha ia ia, hookahi kaikuaana huhu loa ia ia. A o ke kaikuaana aloha ia ia, oia kai lilo ia Kane laua o Kanaloa, lawe ia a ka moku o Kuaihelani, noho. A mahope imi o Kaulu a hiki i Kuaihelani. Ma keia hele ana a Kaulu, he nui kona mau hoapaio. O ka mua o ka nalu nui; o ka lua o ka ale moe; o ke kolu o Kuilioloa; o ka ha o Keaumiki a me Keauka; o ka lima o ke ’kua.

A hiki o Kaulu i Kuaihelani, hele aku la ia a loko o ka ao loulu hou e owili ana, pee iho la ia. A ahiahi, hemo mai la kona kaikuaana i waho, hele aku la o Kaulu e launa pu. Ninau aku o Kaulu: “Pehea kou noho ana?” Olelo mai o Kaholeha: “Aohe pono.” I aku o Kaulu: “I ka wa ahiahi heaha ka oukou hana?” I mai ke kaikuaana: “He inu awa.” “Ae,” wahi a Kaulu. “Ina inu ka awa, olelo aku oe i ke ’kua, o ko lakou awa mua ke inu, a mahope kou. A inu oe i kou apu awa, e papa aku oe i ke ’kua, aole make walaau, a noho malie lakou, alaila, kahea ae oe, penei: ‘E ke ’kua e! eia ka awa o kaua.’ Na’u ia e olelo aku: ‘Inu hia. O ka ona wale ana ko’u.’ ”

Hoi aku la ke kaikuaana a hana pela. I mai la ke ’kua: “He oi ka hoi kou o ke ’kua leo nui. He hea okoa mai no.” Pela no ka hana ana, a uluhua o Kana a me Kanaloa. Hoouna i na elele, e lele i luna e ninau ia Makalii i ke ano o keia mea. He kanaka paha, he ’kua paha.

When the messengers came in the presence of Makalii, they informed him of the nature of their mission. He replied: “The voice is not the voice of a god; it is the voice of a man, Kaulu by name.” When the messengers arrived back in the presence of Kane and Kanaloa, they reported what they had been told by Makalii. When the two heard the report, they became very angry with the brother of Kaulu, and so the two devised a way of getting Kaholeha into trouble. After they had thought out a plan they tempted Kaholeha to go down with them into the sea for a bath and to ride the surf. When they came to the place where the surf was breaking Kaholeha was caught by a shark and eaten. Therefore Kaulu went down to the seashore [in search of him]. A hiki ua elele i o Makalii la, olelo aku la ia ia, a lohe ia, olelo mai la: “Aohe akua, he kanaka, o Kaulu ka inoa.” A hiki na elele i mua o Kane laua o Kanaloa. Hai aku la i na olelo a Makalii. A lohe laua, huhu iho la laua i ke kaikuaana o Kaulu, nolaila, imi hala laua ia Kaholeha. Nolaila, hoowalewale o Kane laua me Kanaloa ia Kaholeha, e hele e auau kai, e heenalu. I ka hiki ana i kahi heenalu, ua pau o Kaholeha i ka ai ia e ka mano, nolaila, hele o Kaulu a hiki i ke kai.

HOW KAULU DRANK UP THE SEA. KA MONI ANA O KAULU I KE KAI.

When Kaulu arrived at the beach he stooped down and drank up the sea until the whole ocean was dried up and all the fish were exposed. Kaulu then proceeded to kill all the sharks and other kinds of fish. In this search for Kaholeha, Kaulu killed several fish without being able to find him, so he flew up to Makalii and asked him. When Kaulu arrived at the home of Makalii, he found him asleep with his face turned up, for Makalii was a very old man, but possessed of great powers and was very strong. When Kaulu saw him, he went up to him and pinched his leg, causing Makalii to wake up and cry out in pain. Wehe ae la o Kaulu i ka waha ona, omo ia ke kai a pau i loko a maloo iho la ke kai, ahuwale na ia a pau loa. Noke o Kaulu i ka luku i ka mano, a me na i’a e ae. Ma keia imi ana a Kaulu, aole i loaa o Kaholeha. Nolaila, lele aku la ia i luna i o Makalii la e ninau ai. A hiki o Kaulu i o Makalii la, e moe ana o Makalii i luna ke alo, nokamea, he elemakule ia, aka, he mana nae, a me ka ikaika loa. Lele iho la o Kaulu iniki i ka opi o na uha, a puoho ae la o Makalii me ka uwe i ka eha.

RELATING TO KAAONA. NO KAAONA.

Oia ke kaikaina huhu o Makalii, ike mai la ia ia Kaulu. Amo mai la ia i ka pohaku nui, o Ikuwa ka inoa, ua like me Maui ka nui o ka pohaku. Nana aku la o Kaulu a ike. Ninau aku la ia Makalii: “Owai keia kanaka me ka pohaku nui e amo mai nei?” I mai la o Makalii: “O kuu kaikaina huhu.” A hiki o Kaaona i mua o Kaulu, hoonee iho la i ka pohaku i luna o Kaulu, me ka manao e pepe i ka pohaku. E koo ae ana o Kaulu: “Ea! paa ka pohaku a ua kanaka ikaika, a hea hoi haule iho?” Holo aku la o Kaaona me ka makau o make ia Kaulu.

Sometime after this Kaulu inquired of Makalii, saying: “Where is my older brother? Tell me who killed him, that I may know the person.” Makalii replied: “Your older brother is within the king of all the sharks.” Kaulu again asked him: “Tell me clearly who eat my brother.” Makalii replied: “He is in the great mound of coral rock which has an opening at the top, which is in reality a shark.” A mahope o keia, ninau aku o Kaulu ia Makalii: “Auhea kuu kaikuaana, e hai mai oe i ka mea nana i pepehi i ike au.” Olelo aku o Makalii: “Aia ko kaikuaana i loko o ke ’lii o na mano a pau loa.” Ninau aku o Kaulu: “E hai pono mai oe i ka mea nana i ai kuu kaikuaana?” Wahi a Makalii: “Aia i ka pukoa nui, e hamama ana o luna, he mano ia.”

KALAKEENUIAKANE. KALAKEENUIAKANE.

He mano nui ia, oia ke ’lii o na mano a pau loa o loko o ke kai, a nana i moni ola ke kaikuaana o Kaulu. A pau ka Makalii olelo ana ia Kaulu, hoi mai la o Kaulu a hiki i mua o Kalakeenuiakane. Ninau aku la: “Ea! Ua ike auanei oe i kuu kaikuaana?” “Ae, ua ike, ua pau, ua hulu, ua kukae.”

I aku o Kaulu: “He ikaika no?” “Ae.” “Pehea kou ikaika?” I mai o Kalakeenuiakane: “Ina e hamama kuu waha, o ke a luna i ka lani, o ke a lalo i ka honua.” Alaila, ninau iho o Kaulu i na lima ona: “E Limakaukahi a me Limapaihala, he ikaika io anei keia?” Hoole mai na lima: “Aole!” Hamama ka waha o ka mano, paa no ke a luna i ka lani, o ke a lalo i ka honua. Kahea aku la o Kaulu ia loko o ka opu e hele mai, oili mai ana o Kaholeha, ua pau ka lauoho i ka helelei, e ola ana no nae. Mahope o laila, hoi mai la o Kaulu me ke kaikuaana.

HOW THE SEA WAS RESTORED. KA HOI HOU ANA O KE KAI.

When they were ready to come away, Kaulu said to his brother: “You go on ahead, I will follow behind.” Kaulu then urinated and the sea was restored to its former condition. But it was salty and has smelled bad to this day; it was not so before. I aku o Kaulu i ke kaikuaana: “Mamua aku oe, mahope aku nei au.” Ia wa mimi o Kaulu i ke kai, a hoi hou ke kai e like me mamua. Eia nae, ua hohono a awaawa ke kai a hiki i keia la, aole pela mamua.

RELATING TO HAUMEA. NO HAUMEA.

Hoi mai la o Kaulu ma mai Kuaihelani mai me kona kaikuaana a hiki i Moanalua. Hoonoho o Kaulu i ke kaikuaana i laila, hele mai la oia i ka makaikai a hiki i Niuhelewai, Kapalama, e noho ana o Haumea i laila.

He ’kua o Haumea, aohe mea koe ia ia i ka ai ia, he wahine. A hiki o Kaulu, e moe ana o Haumea, hoala ae la o Kaulu a ala o Haumea. Ninau mai la o Haumea: “E hele ana oe i hea?” I aku o Kaulu: “I ka makaikai.” “Aole pono ke hele, he kapu keia wahi ia’u, he make.” I aku o Kaulu: “He ikaika no oe?” “Ae!” pela mai o Haumea. I aku o Kaulu: “Ae, e hoi au, a popo hiki mai au, hakaka kaua.” Ae mai o Haumea.

Eia ko Kaulu manao ia Haumea ma laila i loaa ona koko e paa ai o Haumea, oia na koko a Makalii, o Maoleha ma. Lele aku la o Kaulu a hiki ia Makalii, nonoi aku la i na koko. Ae mai la o Makalii, hoi mai la o Kaulu a hiki, ia wa e moe ana o Haumea. Nolaila, hoopuni o Kaulu i na upena maloko o ka hale, a eha puni i ka upena, a elua hoi puni o ka hale i na koko a Makalii ia Maoleha ma. A ike o Kaulu ua puni ka hale o Haumea i ka upena. Kahea aku la o Kaulu me ka leo nui:

Wake up Haumea, It is daylight, the cock has crowed, Darkness has fled, Pleiades has risen. Here I am, Kaulu, Your opponent. You must wake up. E ala e Haumea! Ua ao, ua kani ka moa, Ua lele ka okai o ke ao, Aia i luna ka Huhui, Eia au la o Kaulu, Ko hoa hakaka. E ala oe.

When Haumea heard the call, she woke up and looking about saw that she was entirely surrounded with nets. She then began to tear them with her teeth. After cutting through the four thickness of fish nets she came to the nets of Makalii, Maoleha and its mate. At these nets Haumea was unable to cut them, and became so entangled and exhausted that she went to sleep. While asleep Kaulu set the house on fire, which consumed Haumea, killing her. A lohe o Haumea, ala mai la. I nana ae ka hana, ua paa o waho i ka upena. E noke aku ana i ke aki i ka upena, o ka hele ia a pau na upena eha, koe o na koko a Makalii, o Maoleha ma. Ia lalau ana aku o Haumea ia mau koko, e hao mai ana na koko paa o Haumea, pela no a luhi o Haumea hoi e hiamoe. Ma keia hiamoe ana, e puhi ae ana o Kaulu i ka hale o Haumea, pau o Haumea i ke ahi, a make iho la.

RELATING TO LONOKAEHO. NO LONOKAEHO.

A make o Haumea, pii aku la o Kaulu mai Niuhelewai aku a hiki i Nuuanu, mai laila aku a hiki i Koolau. E noho ana o Lonokaeho, ia ia o Koolau ia wa. Nona na lae ewalu, he mau lae oi a me ka ikaika loa. A hiki o Kaulu i mua o Lonokaeho, ninau mai o Lonokaeho: “Mahea mai oe?” I aku o Kaulu: “Maanei mai nei no wa’u.” Olelo mai o Lonokaeho: “Aole mea a maalo mai maanei, he kapu, he make, no ka mea, he kapu keia wahi ia’u, a he makau ia au a hiki i keia la e noho nei. Ina he ikaika oe, alaila ola oe i na la; ina aole make oe ia’u. I aku o Kaulu: “No kuu ikaika hiki au ianei.” Ia wa, hoike mai o Lonokaeho i na lae ewalu ona, he pohaku, he pahoa, he laau, he ohia, he nahele, he maile, he ieie, he hala, he lehua ko luna. A ike o Kaulu i na lae o Lonokaeho, ninau iho o Kaulu i na lima ona, ia Limakaukahi a me Limapaihala: “Pehea na lae ewalu o Lonokaeho.” I ae na lima: “Aole e pakele ia maua.” Ia wa, olelo aku o Kaulu ia Lonokaeho: “A hea la hoi ooki ou lae ewalu?” I mai o Lonokaeho: “Ooki no make oe, aole oe e ola.” E iho iho ana ka lae mua he pahoa oi ia, e alo ae ana o Kaulu hala, haule ka lae i lalo. E hao iho ana ka ieie me ka maile i ka hihi, me ke kolo paa i lalo. E oni ae ana ka lae, aole e hiki i luna. Pela no a pau na lae ewalu o Lonokaeho, lilo ae la o Koolau a puni ia Kaulu. Hele aku la o Kaulu a hiki i Kualoa ma ka lae o Kaoio, e noho ana o Mokolii i laila, he kupua, he iole ia.

RELATING TO MOKOLII. NO MOKOLII.

This wizard was a very evil person and no one, man or woman, was saved who came within its reach; all would be eaten. It was customary with this wizard to sit and watch by the wayside for people to cunningly coax and deceive them to come nearer. When Kaulu arrived at the place, Mokolii inquired of him: “Where are you from?” Kaulu replied: “I came along this way.” “Yes, you will become my food for this day.” Kaulu made reply: “You can have me if you are strong.” Mokolii then jumped on Kaulu and held him with its teeth. Kaulu then flew up with Mokolii, and when they got into the blue sky Mokolii came falling down, breaking every bone in its body, killing it. The place thus became the property of Kaulu. He kupua ino keia, aohe kanaka koe ia ia i ka ai ia, aohe wahine koe. He mea mau ia ia ka noho i ke alanui e kiai ai, a e hoopunipuni ai me na olelo maalea. A hiki o Kaulu, ninau mai la o Mokolii: “Mahea mai oe?” I aku o Kaulu: “Maanei mai nei no.” “Ae, he mea ai oe na’u no keia la.” I aku o Kaulu: “Aia no hoi paha i ka ikaika.” E hao mai ana o Mokolii ia Kaulu, paa i na niho. Ia wa o Kaulu i lele ai i luna me Mokolii, a ke ao uli, haule o Mokolii a okaoka liilii, a make iho la ia Kaulu. Lilo ae la ia wahi no Kaulu.

He kanaka koa loa o Palila, a he kanaka ikaika loa, ma ke kaua ana, ua hiki ia ia ke ku imua o na kanaka he lehulehu, e kue mai ana. No Alanapo i Humuula, ma Koloa i Kauai o Palila. He heiau kapu o Alanapo na ke ’kua mai ka po mai. A ma laila o Palila i hanai kapu ia ai, e ke ’kua, me ke ao ia i ke ano o ke koa.

O Kaluaopalena ka makuakane o Palila, o Mahinui ka makuahine, o Hina ke kupunawahine o Palila, nana i lawe i loko o Alanapo e noho ai. O Namakaokalani ke ’lii o kekahi aoao o Kauai, o Kaluaopalena, ko kekahi aoao. E kaua ana laua, a kokoke o Kaluaopalena e pio, a lilo loa o Kauai no Namakaokalani.

O kahi a na kanaka e kaua ana, o Paa ka inoa o ka aina, malaila na ’lii me na koa, a me na kanaka he lehulehu loa. Ia lakou e kaua ana, ala mai o Palila mai loko mai o Alanapo, a hopu i kana laau palau o Huliamahi ka inoa. Hele mai la a ku i ke ahua e nana ai ia kai o Paa, o Komoikeanu ka inoa o ia ahua. Nana aku la ia a noonoo, no ka makuakane kela kaua o kai. Ia wa, oniu hema keia i ka laau palau ana, o Huliamahi. A pahu aku la i kai o Paa. O ka honua, nei ka laau me ka hina i lalo. Na ka laau i luku na koa o Namakaokalani, a lohelohe hina iho la maluna o na kanaka ka laau. Ma keia hina ana o na laau ia Palila, ua pio o Namakaokalani, a makau ia Kaluaopalena ka makuakane o Palila, a ua puni o Kauai ia ia.

THE SECOND BATTLE OF PALILA. KAUA ALUA A PALILA.

Upon the arrival of Palila in Ewa, at Waikele, there he met Kamaikaahui, a human shark of two natures, that of a human being and that of a shark. A hiki o Palila i Ewa, ma Waikele, e noho ana o Kamaikaahui, he mano kanaka, elua ona ano, he kanaka a he mano.

Kamaikaahui belonged to the land of Mualea in Hana, Maui, and he was a man who lived on the flesh of other men. His mouth was at his back containing several rows of teeth like the shark. It was from Mualea that he came and made his home at Waikele. As was his practice while living on Maui, so did he indulge on Oahu. Every time he got a chance he would secretly kill men and eat them up. When Ahuapau, who was king of Oahu at this time, saw this, he and his people became afraid of the man. He therefore made a decree, that the man who could drive Kamaikaahui away from Oahu would be made king and given the privilege of first entering the temple of Kanelaauli, built at Kahehuna, below Punchbowl. No Mualea i Hana, Maui o Kamaikaahui, he kanaka ai kanaka. Aia ma ke kua kona waha, a me na niho mano, a mai laila mai kona hele ana mai a noho ma Waikele. E like me kona hana i Maui, pela kona hana i Oahu nei. Ka ai i ke kanaka, a ke nahu. Nolaila, makau ke ’lii o Oahu nei, o Ahuapau, a me na kanaka. Nolaila, olelo ke ’lii, o Ahuapau, o ke kanaka e holo ai o Kamaikaahui, e lilo ia i alii, a e komo i ka heiau o Kanelaauli ma Kahehuna, malalo o Puowaina.

When Palila heard the king’s decree, he made the remark, saying: “If I look at him once he will run away.” Soon after this Palila met Kamaikaahui who, upon seeing Palila with the war club, Huliamahi, ran and tried to jump into the sea. Palila then struck at the man preventing him from falling into the sea, and every time he tried to jump Palila would strike him. This was continued until Kamaikaahui was killed. Ma keia olelo a ke ’lii, ua lohe o Palila. Nolaila, olelo o Palila: “Ina e ike aku au iaia, alaila, holo.” Ia wa, hoike o Palila me ka laau palau ana o Huliamahi, holo o Kamaikaahui a lele i loko o ke kai. Hahau aku o Palila i ka laau palau, lele hou i uka, pela ka hana ana a make o Kamaikaahui, ia Palila.

RELATING TO OLOMANA.—PALILA’S THIRD BATTLE. NO OLOMANA.—KAUA AKOLU A PALILA.

Olomana was a noted warrior, famous for his great strength and his enormous height. Ahuapau, the king of Oahu, was in fear of this man and because of this he never traveled to Koolau. From the Makapuu point to the Kaoio point, at Kualoa, was kapued and sacred to Olomana. He koa kaulana o Olomana, i ka loihi a me ka ikaika. Ua makau o Ahuapau ke ’lii o Oahu nei ia ia. A nolaila, aole e hele aku ma Koolau, mai ka lae o Makapuu a ka lae o Kaoio ma Kualoa, ua kapu ia Olomana.

He umikumamalua kaha-ku o Olomana, ma ke kua, ke ku pololei a kaha mai ke poo mai a na wawae.

Penei nae ke ano, akolu kapuai ma ke kaha hookahi, ua like me kanakolukumamaono na kaha he umikumamalua. Ke hoonui ia (eono anana ia).

Ia Palila i hiki ai i ka pali o Nuuanu, hoomoe aku la ia i kana laau palau, a holo aku la a hiki i Kaelepulu kahi o Olomana e ku ana. Ma keia holo ana o ka laau, paa aku la o Palila mahope o ka welau, a hookahi ka lele ana i luna, a ku ana o Palila i ka poohiwi o Olomana, a ike o Olomana, ninau ae la ia Palila: “Nohea oe e nei keiki hookano, no ka mea, aohe o’u mea nana i hehi, a ia oe iho nei hehi ia.” I aku o Palila: “No ka heiau kapu wau, no Alanapo i Humuula, Kauai, o Palila ko’u inoa, he koa.” A lohe o Olomana, makau iho la ia Palila, a nonoi aku la ia Palila e ola. Hoole mai o Palila: “Aole oe e ola ia’u.” Ia wa, papai o Palila ia Olomana, a lele ae la kekahi aoao a kaawale, oia o Mahinui, o kekahi aoao, oia o Olomana puu e ku nei a hiki i keia la.

This was the way Olomana was killed by Palila, and in this way Ahuapau, the father-in-law of Palila, came in possession of the whole of Oahu. Pela i make ai o Olomana ia Palila, a pela i puni ai o Oahu nei ia Ahuapau, ka makuahunowai o Palila.

THE FOURTH BATTLE OF PALILA. KAUA AHA A PALILA.

When Palila arrived at Kaawalii, in Hilo, Hawaii, he made it his home and lived there for some time. At the time of his arrival a battle was being fought between Kulukulua the king of Hilo and Wanua the king of Hamakua; and Kulukulua was about to be beaten by Wanua, for Wanua had three famous warriors with him who were noted for their great strength; they were Moanonuikalehua, Kumuonuiaiake and Puupuukaamai. When they came together, Palila swung his club but once so strong that the earth shook to its very foundation and the club was buried deep into the ground and all three were killed. He after this began the slaughter of the men and went as far as Kukaiau in Hamakua, making the victory complete. A hiki o Palila ma Kaawalii, i Hilo, Hawaii, noho iho la. Ia wa, e kaua ana o Kulukulua ke ’lii o Hilo me Wanua, ke ’lii o Hamakua, kokoke e pio o Kulukulua ia Wanua. No ka mea, ekolu koa kaulana o Wanua i ke koa a me ka ikaika, o Moanonuikalehua, o Kumuonuiaiake, o Puupuukaamai. I ko lakou hui ana me Palila, hookahi no laau a Palila, nei ka honua, nakolo i ka lepo, pau i ka make, a me ka luku ia e Palila, i ka aina o Kukaiau ma Hamakua, pela i lanakila ai.

Kihapiilani, after being insulted by his brother, took it into his mind to leave Maui and go to Hawaii to see his brother-in-law, Keawenuiaumi, who was the husband of Piikea, his sister.

The cause of the battle that was fought sometime after this was because the salt water from a dish of fish was thrown into the eyes of Kihapiilani by his older brother, the king who was then reigning over Maui.

When Kihapiilani arrived on Hawaii, Keawenuiaumi asked him: “What is the cause of this journey?” “I am after some one to be my avenger. My older brother has thrown the salt water from a dish of fish into my eyes.”

O ke kumu o keia kaua ana, o ka miko ana o na maka o Kihapiilani i ke kai paakai a kona kaikuaana, ke ’lii ia ia o Maui. A hiki o Kihapiilani i Hawaii, ninau mai o Keawenuiaumi: “Heaha kau huakai?” “He makaia no’u. Ua kapi ia kuu maka e kuu kaikuaana i ke kai o ka paakai.”

Ia wa, holo na luna e kala ma Hawaii a puni, e kalai ka waa, e kalai ka ihe, ka pololu, ka elau, e imi ka niho mano. Eono mahina makaukau na mea a pau loa.

After the preparations were completed they set sail for Maui. The canoes on this expedition were so many that it covered the ocean from Hawaii to Maui and the people used them as a road to cross over on. It is said in Hawaiian history that the number of canoes used in this expedition was the greatest known. Mahope o laila, holo mai la na waa he nui loa, mai Hawaii a Maui. Ua paa ka moana i na waa, a ua lilo i alanui hele, no na kanaka. A ua kapaia ma ka moolelo o Hawaii nei, oia ka waa nui o ka helu mua ia.

HOW PIIMAIWAA WITH HIS WAR CLUB CLIMBED THE HILL. PII O PIIMAIWAA ME KANA LAAU PALAU.

At last Piimaiwaa decided to make an attempt to see this big man for himself. When he came near the man he took his war club and began twirling it, but the man refused to respond. Piimaiwaa then took the club in his left hand and again twirled it, but the man would not so much as move his club. A kokoke o Piimaiwaa, halalo aku la ia me ka hookaa i kana laau palau, aole o iala hookaa, hoi keia ma ke hema hookaa, aole o iala hookaa.

This victory gave Maui completely into the hands of Kihapiilani and he became its king. It was by him that the famous roadway, which is seen going through the forest of Oopuola, was built, as well as the shell road which was built around Molokai, traces of which can be seen to this day. Nolaila, puni o Maui ia Kihapiilani, a noho alii iho la, a nana i hana kela alanui kaulana maloko o ka nahele o Oopuola, a me ke alanui pupu i Molokai, a hiki i keia la.

RELATING TO IMAIKALANI. NO IMAIKALANI.

Imaikalani was a blind chief; he was without sight, but he had other men to serve him and to act as his eyes. He also had some birds who helped see things for him. He was a chief who was very skillful in the use of all weapons of warfare and particularly so in the use of the war club. Imaikalani, he ’lii makapo ia, aohe ona mau maka, aka, he kanaka kona maka, a he manu, aka he ’lii akamai loa ma ke kaua ana, a ma ke kaka laau ana me ka hoapaio.

When the capture of the hill was completed, Umi ordered Omaokamau to go and fight Imaikalani. When Omaokamau heard this he proceeded to the home of Imaikalani. When Omaokamau was drawing near the home of Imaikalani the birds sounded a note. At this note of warning from the birds Imaikalani said to his men: “Say, there is a man.” The men said: “There is nobody.” Imaikalani remarked: “Watch out.” While the two men were watching, Omaokamau soon after appeared. The men then said to Imaikalani: “Yes, there is a man, he is coming, and he carries a war club in his hand.” Imaikalani said: “That is Omaokamau, one of the warriors of Umi; he is well versed in the art of throwing the spear; his main strength is in his right arm, his left is weak; watch him and see when he twirls his war club.” When Omaokamau came up to the men he stood and twirled his war club. When the two men saw this, they said to Imaikalani: “Say, the man is twirling his club.” When Imaikalani heard the report of his two men, he stood up and began twirling his club. The two men kept on twirling their clubs all the time until they struck at each other. Omaokamau struck his club to his right, but somehow Imaikalani warded off the blow by the use of his club and the first blow aimed by Omaokamau missed. They again twirled their clubs and after a time Omaokamau struck to his left, but again his blow was warded off and he again missed Imaikalani. After this second miss Omaokamau turned around and returned to Umi. When he came up to Umi, Umi asked him: “How was your trip to the home of Imaikalani?” Omaokamau replied: “I don’t know what to say. The eyes of Imaikalani are both sightless but his thinking powers are faultless. I fought him for a time, but he warded off my blows so skilfully that I was afraid of him and so I came back.” Kena aku la o Umi ia Omaokamau, e hele e kaua me Imaikalani, a lohe o Omaokamau, hele aku la ia a hiki i kahi o Imaikalani. Ia Omaokamau nae e kokoke aku ana e hiki i kahi o Imaikalani, kani e ae la na manu, ma keia kani ana a na manu, olelo aku o Imaikalani i kona mau kanaka: “E! he kanaka.” Hoole aku na kanaka: “Aohe kanaka.” I aku o Imaikalani: “Nana ia aku.” Ia laua e nana ana, hiki mai la o Omaokamau, alaila, olelo aku la laua ia Imaikalani: “Ae, he kanaka, ei ae la, ke hele mai nei me ka laau palau i ka lima.” I aku o Imaikalani: “O Omaokamau na, he koa no Umi, he kanaka akamai i ka pana laau, he ikaika nae ka pana akau, a ma ka hema he nawaliwali, nana ia aku nae ke kaa mai i ka laau palau ana.” A hiki o Omaokamau, ku iho la ia a o kaa ae la i kana laau palau, a ike na kanaka, olelo aku la laua ia Imaikalani: “E! kaa ua kanaka nei i ka laau ana.” Ia lohe ana o Imaikalani i ka olelo a na wahi kanaka ku ae la ia i luna, a olokaa i kana laau palau. Kaa iho la na laau a laua a elua a hiki i ka hahau ana, hahau iho la o Omaokamau i kana laau palau, ma ka akau ona, e ohiu ae ana o Imaikalani i kana laau, hala ka laau a Omaokamau; aole ia i pa. Olokaa hou laua a hahau hou o Omaokamau ma ka hema, i kana laau palau, aole no i pa o Imaikalani. Alaila, hoi aku la o Omaokamau, a hiki i mua o ke ’lii o Umi, ninau mai la o Umi: “Pehea kau hele ana aku nei i kahi o Imaikalani?” I aku o Omaokamau: “Pehea auanei kau, he makapo na maka o Imaikalani, aka, o ka noonoo he pololei, hana mai nei maua, a no koiala akamai, makau mai nei au a hoi mai la.”

While Omaokamau was reporting to Umi, Koi spoke up: “Of course you could not kill Imaikalani; you were not counted of any consequence while we were in Hawaii any way. I am the one that is of consequence.” Koi then started off and went as far as the place where the birds were stationed. When he heard the birds give the note of warning, which was also heard by Imaikalani, he was puzzled to know what this meant. When Imaikalani heard the notes of the birds he sent his two men to go and see who it was. When the men came out they saw a man, so they reported to Imaikalani: “It is a large man with dark skin and the hair on his head is curly.” Imaikalani replied: “That is Koi; he is also very skillful in the use of the war club, but he is strong in the left arm and weak in the right; he is just like Omaokamau.” Ia Omaokamau e olelo ana ia Umi, pane mai la o Koi: “Aole no paha e make o Imaikalani ia oe, no ka mea, aole oe i helu ia mai Hawaii mai nei a kakou i holo mai nei. Owau no ka i helu ia.” Alaila, hele aku la o Koi a kahi a na manu e kau ana, kani ae la na manu, lohe no o Imaikalani, kena aku la i na kanaka e nana aku, a ike laua. Olelo aku la laua ia Imaikalani: “He kanaka nui, ili kou, he piipii ka lauoho o ke poo.” I aku o Imaikalani: “O Koi na, he kanaka akamai no i ka pana laau, he ikaika hema kona, a he nawaliwali ka akau. Ua like no laua me Omaokamau.”

When Koi came up to his opponents he began twirling his war club and as he came within striking distance he raised his club and let it come down with all his might on Imaikalani, but it was warded off by Imaikalani as though it was nothing. Again Koi raised his club and let it come down on his left, but again he was foiled. When Koi saw that he could not get the best of Imaikalani, he turned around and returned to Umi. When he came in the presence of Umi, Umi asked him: “How did you get along with your trip to Imaikalani?” Koi replied: “No warrior can stand before Imaikalani, for I have seen him with my own eyes. What Omaokamau has said and all the things which we have heard are perfectly true, and I must therefore give the same report. After I had twirled my club once on the second time I struck at Imaikalani, but from what I could see it was as nothing to him. After the first blow I gave him another one but that, too, was as nothing to Imaikalani. I therefore became afraid and returned.” While Koi was giving his account of the encounter, Piimaiwaa spoke up to Koi: “The bones of a youngster like you could not be old enough; here are the bones that are well matured.” Piimaiwaa then stood up, took up his club and started off. When he came up with Imaikalani, he heard the birds. His appearance was then reported by the men to Imaikalani, that another warrior was coming. As Piimaiwaa stood in the presence of Imaikalani, Imaikalani stood up ready to defend himself. After trying his skill against Imaikalani Piimaiwaa saw that he was unable to best his opponent, so he too returned to the king and told him of what he had done, which was the same thing reported by Omaokamau and Koi. A hiki o Koi, kaa ae la ia i kana laau palau. Ku ae la no hoi o Imaikalani, a kaa i kana laau. Hahau iho la o Koi i kana laau palau me ka ikaika loa, he mea ole ia ia Imaikalani, a pela no hoi ma ka akau. Mahope o laila, hoi aku la o Koi a hiki i mua o Umi, ninau mai o Umi: “Pehea kau hele ana aku nei i o Imaikalani la?” I aku o Koi: “Aohe koa e hele aku i mua o Imaikalani, ua ike pono aku nei au, ua like no me ka Omaokamau olelo a kakou i lohe ai, pela no ka’u ike ana aku nei. Hookahi a’u kaa laau ana, i ka lua, hahau au ia Imaikalani, he mea ole ia i ka’u ike aku. A pau ia, hoi hou no wau, he mea ole no ia Imaikalani. Nolaila, makau au a hoi mai la.” Ia Koi e olelo ana, pane mai la o Piimaiwaa ia Koi: “Aole no paha i oo ka iwi o kamalii, eia mai na iwi i oo.” Alaila, ku ae la o Piimaiwaa, a hele me kana laau palau, a hiki. O ka Imaikalani hana no ka olelo e like me mamua. Ku o Piimaiwaa me kana laau palau, ku o Imaikalani, i ko laua hana ana, aohe make o Imaikalani, ia Piimaiwaa, alaila, hoi aku la ia a hiki i ke ’lii la, hai aku la i kana mau olelo a pau loa. Ua like no ka Piimaiwaa olelo me ka Omaokamau ma.

On account of the failure on the part of Umi to kill Imaikalani, Imaikalani was greatly feared and they all but decided to abandon the fight and leave Imaikalani alone. Ma keia mau mea a pau loa a lakou i hana ai, ua makau loa ia o Imaikalani, a ua manao lakou e haalele i ke kaua ana ia ia.

After the lapse of some tens of days, after the incidents recorded above, Omaokamau met a man who was born and raised on the place, who asked him: “Why is it that Imaikalani has not been slain by your people?” Omaokamau answered: “I don’t know why.” The man said: “He can be slain, it can be done easily. It will not take much of an exertion.” Omaokamau then asked him: “Will you tell me how it can be done?” The man then said to Omaokamau: “Say, if you obey what I will tell you, then I will do what you want.” Omaokamau then again asked him: “What do you want me to do?” The man said: “Don’t speak a word about me and never repeat to any one that I told you how to get the best of Imaikalani, because I am his own immediate servant, a backbone; I am one of his kahili bearers.” Omaokamau then gave his promise, that he would not tell any one, not to the king, not to his own brothers nor to any other person. “If you should hear or know that I have broken my promise, then my life shall be forfeited,” continued Omaokamau. Because of this promise made by Omaokamau, the man said: “The birds which sit on the outside are his eyes, and it is by them that he is warned of the approach of any person. On hearing this warning he prepared himself for the conflict. The men with him are also his eyes; they are the ones who tell him when the enemy is near and this gives him a chance to use his wits and to defend himself. But if the birds and the men are first killed then Imaikalani can be slain, he will not escape.” He mau anahulu i hala ma keia noho ana, launa aku la o Omaokamau me kekahi kanaka kamaaina. I mai la ke kamaaina: “Heaha ka mea e make ole nei o Imaikalani ia oukou?” I aku o Omaokamau: “Heaha hoi.” I mai kela: “Ua make, he wahi iki wale no, aole i mahuahua.” Alaila, nonoi aku la o Omaokamau ia ia: “E hai mai i kahi e make ai, o Imaikalani,” a ae mai la kela. Olelo mai ke kamaaina ia Omaokamau: “E! auhea oe, ina oe e hoolohe i ka’u olelo, alaila, hoolohe au i kau.” I aku o Omaokamau: “Pehea kau olelo?” “Penei ka’u olelo ia oe. Mai olelo iki oe ia’u, na’u oe i hai aku i kahi e make ai o Imaikalani, no ka mea, owau nei la, he iwikuamoo ponoi au nona, he paa kahili.” Alaila, ae aku la o Omaokamau, a hoohiki aku la, aole ia e olelo ia hai, aole hoi i ke ’lii, aole hoi i kona mau hoahanau ponoi, aole i kekahi mea e ae. Wahi a Omaokamau: “Ina e lohe ia, a e ike ia keia mea, alaila o kona ola ke pani.” Ma keia mau olelo a Omaokamau, hai aku la ke kamaaina. “O na manu e kau la mawaho, oia kona mau maka, oia hoi ka mea e maopopo ai ia he kanaka ke hiki aku ana, a oia kona mea e makaukau mua ai no ke kaua, a pela e noonoo ai o Imaikalani; aka, ina e make na manu, alaila, make o Imaikalani, aole e ola.”

When Omaokamau heard this from the man, he stood up and started off to carry out the advice given him. When he came up to the place where the birds generally sat he crept up cautiously and struck them with his club, killing them. But before Omaokamau had the chance to kill the birds, they gave their warning note and Imaikalani heard it; so he asked his men to look and see if a man was coming. The men then looked and saw that it was Omaokamau. When Omaokamau came up to the guards, they thought he had come to do battle with Imaikalani, and that he would come to the battle ground and there make his stand, when Imaikalani would get ready to fight him; but in this they were mistaken, for Omaokamau did not go to the battle ground but came right along fearlessly with his war club in his hand. As soon as he came up to the two men he struck them with his war club, killing them. He then turned to Imaikalani and poked him in the stomach with the point of his club, killing him. A lohe o Omaokamau i keia mau olelo a ke kamaaina, ku ae ia a hele, a hiki i kahi e kau ana na manu, hili ae la ia i na manu i kana laau palau, a haule iho la i lalo, a make iho la na manu. Eia nae, ia Omaokamau i hili ai i na manu, mamua o kona hili ana, kani ae la na manu, a lohe aku la no o Imaikalani. Nolaila, hoolale aku la ia i na kanaka kiai, i nana aku ka hana, o Omaokamau ke hele mai ana. Ma keia hele ana a Omaokamau, e manao ana na wahi kanaka kiai, e hele la o Omaokamau a ke kahua kaua, alaila, la ku. Makaukau o Imaikalani, aka, aole nae o Omaokamau i hana pela. I ka wa a na kanaka kiai e nana pono mai ana ia Omaokamau, ia wa no o Omaokamau i hele aku ai me ka wiwo ole, a me ke ano koa loa, me ka laau palau i kona lima. A launa aku la ia me na wahi kanaka, hahau aku la ia i kana laau palau i luna o laua, a make iho la. Pela no hoi o Imaikalani, hou aku la ia i ka welau o kana laau palau i ka opu o Imaikalani, a make iho la ia.

Omaokamau then returned to Umi, the king, and told him of the death of Imaikalani, slain by his hands. When Umi and the rest of the people heard this, they asked him how he was able to kill the great and famous Imaikalani. Omaokamau then said to them: “This is how I was able to slay Imaikalani: Yesterday on going down to the stream of Mauoni for a bath, I met a Maui man who asked me: ‘Have you people killed Imaikalani?’ I said, ‘No.’ Then he said to me: ‘Yes, it is only a small thing to kill him.’ When I heard this, I asked him to tell me how it could be done, while I promised him at the same time that I would keep his name and identity a secret. He then told me how I was to do it; said he, ‘Here is the way to kill Imaikalani: You must first kill the birds and the two watchmen, who are Imaikalani’s guards and who give him warning of the approach of any person. Kill the birds and the men, then you will be able to kill Imaikalani.’ That is how I was able to kill him.” Hoi aku la o Omaokamau a hiki i mau o ke ’lii o Umi, olelo aku la i ka make ana o Imaikalani ia ia, a lohe o Umi a me na mea a pau loa, ninau mai la lakou i ke kumu o ka make ana. Hai aku o Omaokamau ia lakou: “Penei ke kumu o ka make ana o Imaikalani ia’u. I nehinei, hele aku la au i ka auau ma ka wai o Mauoni, i laila, loaa ia’u he kamaaina no Maui nei. Ninau mai la ia ia’u, ‘Ua make iho nei o Imaikalani ia oukou?’ Hoole aku wau ‘aole.’ Alaila, olelo mai kela: ‘Ae, he uuku wale no kahi e make ai.’ A lohe au i keia olelo ana, nonoi aku la au ia ia e hai, me kuu hoohiki pu, ae mai la kela. Eia ka mea e make ai o Imaikalani: ‘E pepehi i na manu a make loa, no ka mea, oia ko Imaikalani leo;’ a oia ke kumu i make ai ia’u.”

Legend of Kepakailiula. Kaao no Kepakailiula.

CHAPTER I. Search for a Suitable Wife. MOKUNA I. Huli no ka Wahine Kupono.

Oia kekahi o na keiki ikaika o Hawaii nei, nana i hele mai Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kauai. E hiki ia ia ke ku i mua o ka lehulehu a hakaka, a pepehi, a lanakila maluna o kona poe enemi. He huamoa o Kepakailiula, o Keaau i Puna, Hawaii, ka aina hanau. O Ku, ka makuakane, o Hina, ka makuahine, o Kiinoho a me Kiihele na kahu hanai o Kepakailiula. O Paliuli ka aina i hanai ia ai o Kepakailiula, a nui.

When Kepakailiula reached the age of twenty years, it was seen that he was very handsome and pleasant to look upon. He was without blemish; he was perfect from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head. Because of this great beauty, Kiinoho sent Kiihele to travel around Hawaii in search of a wife for Kepakailiula. A hiki kona mau makahiki i ka iwakalua, he kanaka maikai loa o Kepakailiula ma kona kino. Aohe ona kina mai ka manea o kona wawae a kona piko poo. A no kona kanaka maikai loa, kena aku o Kiinoho ia Kiihele, e hele ma Hawaii a puni, e imi i wahine na Kepakailiula.

Kiihele was a very fast runner and could make three complete circuits of the island of Hawaii in one day. Starting from Paliuli he went first through the district of Hilo, where he found Kukuilauania, a very beautiful woman, but her eyes bulged out, so he left her and continued on his way to Hamakua; then on to Waimea and then to Kohala. From this point he retraced his steps and returned to Paliuli in Puna. When he arrived home his older brother, Kiinoho, asked him: “How was your journey? Have you not found a wife in all your journey?” “No, not one,” said Kiihele. Kiinoho then said to him: “You go toward the rising of the sun, toward Puna.” Kiihele assented to this and started out. All this was on the same day. He kanaka mama loa o Kiihele, ekolu puni o Hawaii i ka la hookahi ia ia, holo mai la ia mai Paliuli mai a Hilo, loaa o Kukuilauania he wahine maikai, hookahi kina o ka puu o na maka, haalele o Kiihele. Haalele aku la o Kiihele ia Hilo, hele mai la ia a hiki i Hamakua. Malaila mai a Waimea, a Kohala, hoi hou a hiki i Paliuli, ma Puna. Ninau mai kona kaikuaana o Kiinoho: “Pehea aku la kau huakai?” “Aohe loaa o kau wahine i imi aku nei?” “Aole,” wahi a Kiihele. I mai o Kiinoho: “E hele oe e imi i wahine ma ka hikina a ka la, ma Puna aku nei.” Ae mai la o Kiihele. O keia hele ana, eia no i ka la hookahi.

Hiki aku la o Kiihele i Puna e noho ana i laila, he wahine maikai o Kahala ka inoa. He nani no, he onaona na maka, a he maikai ka oiwi, hookahi hewa, o ka puupuu o ka lemu, e like me ke ano o ka hala a hiki i keia la.

He keu ae ia mamua o’u.” A lohe o Makolea i keia olelo a Kiihele, i aku la ia: “E hoi oe a lawe mai i kau kane.” Ae aku o Kiihele. Ninau hou mai o Makolea i ka la e hiki mai ai. Olelo aku o Kiihele: “E hoi au a hala elua la, a i ke kolu hiki mai au me ko kane.” Ae aku o Makolea.

Hoi aku la o Kiihele a hiki ma Paliuli. Ninau mai la o Kiinoho: “Pehea kau huakai?” I aku o Kiihele: “Ua loaa ka wahine.” “Owai ia wahine?” “O Makolea.” “Ae,” pela mai o Kiinoho, “he wahine maikai ia. Ua palama ia nae a na Kakaalaneo ke ’lii o Maui, no ka makau ia, i ke kuku o ka ihe, i ka puamauu, i ka ukulele, i ka naonao.” Moe laua a ao ae, uwe laua ia Paliuli, i na laau, i na mea kanu, a pau ke kanikau ana, hoihoi i ka aina o Paliuli i ke ’kua, a hiki i keia la.

Hele aku a kahi e noho ai, i hoolohe mai olua ia’u a i make au, o ke ala no ia hele aku.”

After they had been living together for about six days and while they were fast asleep, late on the morning of the last of the six days, Keauhou and Kahaluu, the parents of Makolea came to the house where Makolea was living and found her sleeping with a husband. This angered the parents so much that they took up Makolea and placed her in a canoe and took her to Kakaalaneo, the king of Maui. A hala na makua, noho iho la o Kepakailiula me Makolea, eono la i moe ai laua. Ia laua i pauhia ai i ka moe hiki mai la o Keauhou a me Kahaluu.

A hana aku la o Makolea peia, a moe iho la laua mahope o na waa. Ia wa pauhia loa o Kakaalaneo i ka ona o ka awa, a hiamoe loa iho la. Lalau iho la o Kepakailiula ia Makolea a lawe ae la a ka nahelehele moe laua ilaila. Uwe mai o Makolea ia Kepakailiula, i ka make ia Kakaalaneo. Ninau aku o Kepakailiula: “Heaha keia au e uwe mai nei?” Wahi a Makolea: “E uwe aku ana au ia oe no kuu minamina i ka make i kuu kane, ia Kakaalaneo, aole e hala kana ihe, i ka pua mauu, i ka naonao, i ka uku lele, aole hoi ou he aka nui kou.” I aku o Kepakailiula i kana olelo kaena, a hooio, penei:

He has fruit, I have fruit, He has testes, I have testes, He is a male person, I am a male person. No one can tell of the outcome, Whether he will win or I will win. He hua kona, he hua ko’u, He laho kona, he laho ko’u, He kane ia, he kane au, Aole i ike ia na ai a maua, Nana paha na’u paha.

After this they again fell asleep. At the first crow of the cock, Kepakailiula said to Makolea: “I am returning to Hawaii and at the end of three days I will come again. I want you, therefore, to stand a flag wherever you are and within its sacred precincts gather all whom you love and wish to be saved.” Momoe iho la laua, a kani ka moa mua. Olelo aku o Kepakailiula i ka wahine. “Ke hoi nei au a Hawaii, noho a hala ekolu la, alaila, hiki hou mai au. Nolaila, e kukulu oe i lepa nou, a o kau poe e aloha ai e lawe mai oe maloko o ka lepa.”

Early that morning Kepakailiula boarded his canoe and set out on his journey back to Kohala, where he arrived in good time and went to sleep. Hoi aku la o Kepakailiula a pae i Kohala. Komo aku la i loko o ka hale a moe iho la, a ao ae la lakou paina a pau loa.

At daylight the next day they came together and had their morning meal. At the end of the meal he said to his young wife, Kapuaokeonaona: “Say, I have a word for you and it must be between ourselves only. Are you a favorite with your father?” “Yes,” said she. “I am a favorite. Everything I will ask he will do.” “Yes? Then tell your father to bring all the canoes of Kohala together, gather all the people, leaving no one behind, from the largest to the smallest, and then let the people accompany me to Maui on a journey of sightseeing, after which we will return.” When Kukuipahu heard the wish of his daughter, the officers and runners were sent out all over Kohala, from one end to the other carrying the orders of the king. On the third day everything was ready. On the fourth day, the whole army set out for Maui. A pau ka paina ana, olelo aku la ia i kahi wahine uuku ana, ia Kapuaokeonaona. “Ea! he wahi olelo ka’u ia oe, o kaua wale no. He punahele no anei oe i ko makuakane?” “Ae, he punahele au. O ka’u mea e olelo aku ai, o kana ia e hana ai.” “Ae, e olelo aku oe i ko makuakane, e hoakoakoa i na waa a pau loa o Kohala nei, a me na kanaka a pau loa, aohe mea a noho aku. Mai ka mea liilii a ka mea nui, e holo me a’u i kuu huakai makaikai i Maui, a hoi mai.” Ia wa lohe aku la o Kukuipahu. Holo aku la na luna, ma o, maanei o Kohala a puni, mai ke kahi a hiki i ke kolu o ka la, ua makaukau na mea a pau loa. I ka ha o ka la, holo mai la lakou i Maui. Ma keia holo ana, ua pani ia ka moana o Alenuihaha e na waa. Ua olelo ia, mai ka lae o Upolu a ka lae o Kauwiki, ka paa i na waa. Ma keia holo ana, komo aku la na waa mua i Hana ma Maui, i laila o Kakaalaneo kahi i noho ai me na ’lii, a me na kanaka.

On this voyage the whole channel of Alanuihaha was covered with canoes, there being so many. It was said that they covered the whole distance from the Upolu point to the point of Kauiki. On the trip across the canoes headed for the harbor of Hana where the king, Kakaalaneo, was then living with the chiefs and people.

A kokoke e lele i uka, olelo mai o Kepakailiula i na mea a pau loa: “E, i kai no oukou e lana ai. Owau ke lele ae iuka, i nana ae oukou ia’u a i make au, o ke ala no nei hoi ia Hawaii. Aka, i ola au, lele ae i uka.” Lele aku la o Kepakailiula me kana laau palau, a hele aku la i ke one maka, a ke one maloo, a hala ia a ka pohuehue, ka alaalapuloa. Ku ana o Kakaalaneo me na ihe elua. Hookahi o ka lima hema, hookahi o ka lima akau. Mai ka lele ana aku a Kepakailiula, a kona ku ana me Kakaalaneo, uwa na kanaka o uka, i ke kanaka maikai o Kepakailiula. A o kekahi poe hoi, uwe lakou no ka make ia Kakaalaneo.

CHAPTER III. THE BATTLE. MOKUNA III. KE KAUA ANA.

When Kakaalaneo was almost up to Kepakailiula, he said in a haughty and insulting manner: “My spear shall eat of your flesh this day, for my spear never misses a grass blade, an ant or a flea.” After this Kakaalaneo asked: “Who shall have the first chance? Shall it be the son of the soil or the stranger?” Kepakailiula replied: “Let the son of the soil take the first chance and the stranger the last.” Kakaalaneo then threw the spear that was in his right hand at Kepakailiula. When the spear came near Kepakailiula, he opened out his elbow and allowed the spear to enter in between the arm and the body, and when it was half way through he brought his arm to his body and held the spear. The spear came at such speed that when it was held it quivered for some time. Olelo mai o Kakaalaneo me ka hookano ia Kepakailiula: “I keia la, ai kuu ihe i ko io, no ka mea, aole e hala ana kau ihe. I ka pua mauu, i ka naonao, i ka uku lele.” Pane mai o Kakaalaneo: “Ia wai mua, i ke kamaaina paha, i ka malihini paha?” I aku o Kepakailiula: “I ke kamaaina mua, he hope ka ka malihini. Pahu mai la o Kakaalaneo i ka ihe ma ka lima akau ia Kepakailiula. A kokoke wehe ae la o Kepakailiula i ka poaeae, a komo aku la ka ihe mawaena, a puliki ae la ka lima, paa ka ihe ma waena konu o ke kino. He oi ka ikaika o ka makani o ka ihe, a me ke kolili o ka maka i ka lele ana mai.

After the spear had left his hand, Kakaalaneo, thinking that Kepakailiula had been struck, chanted these words: Ma keia lele ana o ka ihe, paha mai o Kakaalaneo me ka manao ua ku o Kepakailiula, penei:

You will not escape my spear, because My spear can pierce a blade of grass, an ant, a flea. How can you escape, you having a large shadow? Aole no paha oe e pakele i kuu ihe, no ka mea Ua ku ka’u ihe i ka pua mauu, i ka naonao, i ka uku lele, A pehea hoi oe e pakele ai he aka nui.

After Kepakailiula had held the spear until its quivering had ceased, he took it and threw it to the dung heap. Ma keia paa ana o Kepakailiula i ka ihe, a maalili, kuu aku la ia i kiona, kahi hooleina moka.

When Kakaalaneo saw this, he said: “What is it that has caused the point of my spear to depart from the spot aimed at? Was it because of the south wind, the wind that blows down houses? Or was it the awa leaf wind of Hana? for my spear has indeed missed its mark. That spear from my right hand has missed; there yet remains the spear in my left; it will pierce you and will yet eat your flesh.” Kakaalaneo then threw the spear that was in his left hand, and as it came flying toward Kepakailiula, he opened out the left elbow a little bit causing the spear to enter between the arm and body, and when it was half way through, he closed in his arm and held the spear there quivering, after which he took and threw it on the dung heap like the other one. Kakaalaneo then said: “Yes, here I have lived on the land and am now well on in years and my spear has never missed before this: but here you have caused them to miss the mark.” A ike o Kakaalaneo, olelo mai la: “Heaha la ka mea i loli ai ka maka o kuu ihe, he pa paha na ke Kona, ka makani kulai hale, he loaa paha i ka makani lau awa o Hana, nolaila oni ka maka o kuu ihe. Hala ae la oe i ka ihe a kuu lima akau, o ka ihe koe a kuu lima hema, loaa aku oe ai kuu ihe i ko io.” Pahu mai la o Kakaalaneo i ka ihe ma ka lima hema, a hiki ia Kepakailiula. Wehe ae la ia i ka poaeae hema, a komo mai la ka ihe malaila, a maalili iho la ka ikaika o ka ihe, kuu aku la o Kepakailiula i kiona e like me ka ihe mua. Olelo mai o Kakaalaneo: “U! ua noho ae nei au a he make koe i ka aina, aohe hala o ka’u ihe, a ia oe ae nei hala kuu ihe kuku.”

A pau ka olelo ana, eu aku o Kakaalaneo e holo. Kahea aku o Kepakailiula mahope. “E holo ana ka hoi ua koa i ke aha?” Ia wa, hualepo o Kepakailiula i kana laau palau. Mai ka lepo ka pii ana ae a loaa o Kakaalaneo, mai ka miona lemu, a ke poo ka nahae. Hookahi a Kakaalaneo huaolelo i pane ae a make loa, penei. “E na ’lii o Maui. O ka nana make no ka ka oukou ia’u, make au!” Ia wa, lele na ’lii, me na kanaka e pepehi ia Kepakailiula, me ko lakou manao e lanakila maluna ona, a e make o Kepakailiula. Ia manawa, lalau o Kepakailiula i na kanaka, a haihai, e like me ka lala laau liilii imua o ke kanaka. E uuina ana, a e paapaaina ana ke loaa aku i ka lima. Hookahi kanaka, hookahi lima, a pela kahi lima, o ka mea holo aku ka mea pakele. O ka mea ku mai e hakaka, pau loa i ka make.

When Kiinoho and Kiihele saw that Kepakailiula was fighting the vast multitude they came ashore and joined in the slaughter of the enemy, helping their foster son Kepakailiula, thus making three on their side. A ike o Kiinoho a me Kiihele ia Kepakailiula, e kaua ana me ka lehulehu. Lele aku la laua, a haihai pu i na kanaka me Kepakailiula, hui akolu lakou.

A ike o Kukuipahu ka makuahunowai, i ka pau loa o na kanaka o ka aina i ka make. Lalau oia ia Kapuaokeonaona, kahi wahine uuku a Kepakailiula, a holo-kiki aku la a mamua o Kepakailiula, kukulu.

A hiki o Kepakailiula i kahi a Kapuaokeonaona e ku ana, lalau aku la ia i ka wahine a amo ae la, a hoi mai la i na waa, pela i pau ai ka luku ana. Haawi aku la o Kepakailiula i ka aina no Kukuipahu, oia ke ’lii nui o Maui, ma ko Kakaalaneo wahi.

Ma keia make ana o Kakaalaneo ia Kepakailiula, ua kaulana aku la ia mea a lohe o Kakuhihewa ke ’lii o Oahu. Nolaila, makau iho la o Kakuhihewa, ia Kepakailiula. Hoouna aku la o Kakuhihewa i kona mau waa ponoi, a me na kahu i Maui, e kii ia Kepakailiula i keiki nana, a lawe mai e komo i ka aina o Oahu nei. Holo aku la na waa, mai Oahu aku a pae i Kaunolu, no ka ikaika o ka makani welau aa. A ahiahi ae la, akakuu iho la ka makani, holo aku la a pae ma Keanapou i Kahoolawe. Mai laila aku a pae ma Kapueokahi i Hana, Maui, i laila o Kepakailiula i noho ai. Pae aku la na waa a uka, hele aku la lakou a kauhale kamaaina. Ninau aku la, auhea ko Kepakailiula hale? Aia i ka puu o Kauiki, ma ka hikina e ku la ka hale. A hiki lakou i laila, aloha mai la o Kepakailiula, aloha aku la lakou. A kuu iho la ko lakou nae, olelo aku la ia Kepakailiula: “I kii mai nei makou ia oe, e holo i Oahu, i kauoha mai ko makuakane o Kakuhihewa ia oe, e holo oe e komo i ka aina, eia na waa, o oe a kau iho, holo ae kakou.” Ae mai la o Kepakailiula, ia wa, holo mai la meia, o Kiinoho me Kiihele, me ka laua wahine, o Makolea a me Kapuaokeonaona. A kau lakou i luna o na waa, holo mai la.

On this voyage to Oahu they were overtaken by a terrible storm and their canoes were forced to the east of Molokai, off the land known as Mokuhooniki. After a while they managed to make Kalaupapa, where they rested until dawn of the next morning, when they continued on their way and in due time landed at Waikiki, Oahu. Ma keia holo ana, punia lakou e ka ino, a haule malalo hikina o Mokuhooniki, i Molokai. Malaila aku a Kalaupapa, moe iho la a owakawaka ke kakahiaka nui. Holo mai la a pae i Waikiki ma Oahu, i laila o Kakuhihewa kahi i noho ai.

Haawi mai la o Kakuhihewa ia Oahu a puni, no Kepakailiula. Haawi ae la o Kepakailiula i na makuakane, ia Kiinoho a me Kiihele ia Oahu nei. A lilo iho la laua he mau alii no Oahu a puni, noho mai la o Kakuhihewa malalo o laua.

Ekolu la i hala ia lakou i ka noho ana ma Waikiki, he mea mau no laila, ka heenalu ana i na la a pau loa. O Makolea kekahi ma keia heenalu ana. I ka ha o ka la, hele aku la o Makolea e heenalu ma waho aku o Kalehuawehe. Oia kekahi nalu kaulana o Waikiki a hiki i keia la. Ia ia e heenalu ana, hiki mai la he mau elele na ke ’lii o Kauai, o Keaumiki a me Keauka. He mau kahu laua no Kaikipaananea ko Kauai alii e hele ana laua e imi wahine na ka laua hanai, na Kaikipaananea. Ia laua i holo mai ai ma waho o Leahi, a pili ana i ka nuku o Mamala.

Nolaila, lalau aku la laua ia ia, a lawe aku la i Kauai, i wahine na Kaikipaananea.

Ma keia lilo ana o Makolea i Kauai, kupu ae la ko Kepakailiula manao, e holo e imi i kana wahine i Kauai. Nolaila, nonoi aku la ia ia Kakuhihewa i waa nona e holo ai. Haawi mai la o Kakuhihewa i ka waa me ke kanaka. Hoole aku o Kepakailiula: “Aole o’u manao e hele ma ke ano alii, no ka mea, ua kii aihue ia mai ka’u wahine, a pela wau e hele aihue aku ai, nolaila, e haawi mai oe i wahi waa uuku no’u.” Haawi mai la o Kakuhihewa i kahi waa. Holo aku la o Kepakailiula, a po a ao ae ku ma Waimea i Kauai. Pae aku la ia a uka, wawahi iho la i ka waa a okaoka, hele aku la a hiki i kekahi hale, e noho ana kekahi alii o Kauai, o Kaunalewa ka inoa, he ’lii waiwai a hanohano loa.

Noho iho la laua a hala ekolu la, lohe ia aku la ka hauwawa o ka leo o na kanaka a me ke ’lii, nolaila, ninau aku la o Kepakailiula i ke aikane ana ia Kaunalewa: “Heaha keia hauwawa o uka?” I mai o Kaunalewa: “O ko makou alii o Kaikipaananea, e honuhonu ana, e mokomoko ana, e kui ana, a hina iho la kekahi, uwa ae la.” I aku o Kepakailiula: “Aole e pii ia aku ia wahi?” I mai ke aikane: “I ke aha hoi.” Pii aku la laua a hiki i mua o Kaikipaananea, e paapu ana na kanaka, a me na mea a pau loa. Ike mai la na mea a pau ia Kepakailiula, uwa mai la i ke kanaka maikai, a minamina iho la no ka make ia Kaikipaananea.

CHAPTER IV. Relating to Kaikipaananea. MOKUNA IV. No Kaikipaananea.

Oia ko Kauai alii a puni, he ’lii ikaika loa ia i ka hakaka, a me ke kui. Aole ona mea e hina ai, oia ka oi o Kauai a puni, aohe alii, aohe koa oi ae mamua ona, nana wale no ka hina a me ke eo. Nolaila, alua alii makau ia, e na ’lii mai Hawaii a Niihau. O Kakaalaneo ko Maui, o Kaikipaananea ko Kauai. Nolaila, haawi wale na kaikamahine alii a me ka aina no keia mau alii, no ka makau o make.

When Kaikipaananea saw Kepakailiula, he called out to him: “Say, stranger, come this way and join in the games with the sons of the soil; the honuhonu, the mokomoko, wrestling and boxing.” Kepakailiula replied: “I don’t know anything about the game of honuhonu.” Kaikipaananea said: “Not knowing that game, let it be the game of wrestling then.” “I don’t know that game even.” “Let it be boxing then.” “Yes, I believe that I can do a little of that, for I have acquired a little learning in that game, but I never was declared an expert at it. I am willing to try conclusions with the son of the soil in that game, however.” Ike mai la o Kaikipaananea ia Kepakailiula, kahea mai la: “E! maanei ka malihini e papa wahi lealea ai me kamaaina, eia no hoi na lealea o anei. He honuhonu, he mokomoko, he kui no hoi.” I aku o Kepakailiula: “Aole au i ike i ka honuhonu,” wahi a Kaikipaananea, “ole ae la oe ia, i ka mokomoko hoi.” “Aole no wau i ike ia.” “I ke kui hoi.” “Ae, e aho au ia, ua ao iki, aole nae i ai lolo, aka, e hoao no me ke kamaaina.”

The game of honuhonu is played by the different contestants sitting down, each facing the other, the feet are then locked and they try to throw each other over. That is called honuhonu. No ka honuhonu: Eia ke ano o ia, he noho i lalo, a hookomo ka wawae maloko o kekahi wawae, a hoopili i ka uha. Pela na wawae a elua, ua kapa ia ia, he honuhonu.

Ku ae la laua i luna. Olelo mai o Kaikipaananea: “Ia wai mua, i kamaaina i ka malihini.” I aku o Kepakailiula: “I kamaaina mua, he hope ka ka malihini.” Mahope o keia olelo ana, kui mai la o Kaikipaananea ia Kepakailiula, a kunewa, ona iho la, me ka aneane e haule ilalo. Aole nae i hina, aka, ua poniuniu ma keia kui ana o Kepakailiula. Nolaila kupono ae la ia i luna a pololei, pohala ae la kona poniuniu. Waiho aku la o Kepakailiula i kana puupuu, ku o Kaikipaananea, waiho i lalo. Helelei ka mimi, hu ka lepo, lele kukae ma kuu, kolili na wawae, moa ka umu, moa ka umu. Mahope o laila, ala mai o Kaikipaananea a olelo kaena: “Ka akahi ka ka walea, lealea, eia ka o oe ka mea e mikomiko iho ai keia kino!”

When Kaikipaananea was knocked down, however, the people shouted and yelled of the great strength exhibited by Kepakailiula, and all said: “No man was ever found strong enough to knock Kaikipaananea down and here you have gone and done it.” Eia nae, i ka wa i hina ai o Kaikipaananea ia Kepakailiula, uwa ka aha, a mahalo mai ia Kepakailiula i ka ikaika. Wahi a lakou: “Aohe kanaka ikaika e hina ai o Kaikipaananea, a ia oe ae nei hina.”

Mahope o laila, hoi aku la o Kepakailiula me ke aikane, me Kaunalewa, a hiki hou i kekahi la. Pii aku la laua, hakoko no, haina lima o Kaikipaananea. Pela no ka hana ana a hala ekolu la, hoouna o Kaikipaananea i kona kanaka ia Kukaea, e hele e kukala i na mea a pau loa, e hui ma kahi hookahi e koho i ka nane a ke ’lii.

CHAPTER V. Relating to Kukaea. MOKUNA V. No Kukaea.

Kukaea was the personal servant of Kaikipaananea; his food was the excrement of Kaikipaananea and the water he drank was the king’s urine. Because of his living on these things he was called Kukaea. This was the only food he ever tasted from his birth until the day when he was sent out to make a circuit of Kauai, to make known the king’s decree. Oia ko Kaikipaananea kanaka ponoi, o kana ai, o ka hana lepo o Kaikipaananea, a me kona hana wai, ka Kukaea ai. A nolaila, mai kona inoa o Kukaea, o kana ai no ia, a hiki i ka la i hele ai e kukala ma Kauai a puni.

In the course of the journey taken by Kukaea, to issue the king’s decree, he came to the house where Kepakailiula was living, still calling out the king’s proclamation at the top of his voice.

When Kepakailiula heard the call he asked his friend: “Who is this man that is making that call?” The friend replied: “It is Kukaea, the personal servant of Kaikipaananea. He is on his way calling everybody to come to the king’s palace to solve the king’s riddle. If a person gives the right answer he will be saved, but if he makes a mistake he will be thrown to his death into the oven of hot stones.”

Penei kana olelo kukala: “E hele na mea a pau ma kahi o ke ’lii e koho i ka nane. Ina loaa, pakele i ka umu, ina loaa ole, make i ka umu. Aohe kane e noho, aohe wahine, aohe keiki, aohe palupalu. O ka mea o aku a amo ole na maka, oia ke noho. Ina e noho kekahi ia la, pau kona hale i ke ahi, kau ka hoopai, mai ka makua a ke keiki, a ka ohana, a ka pili mai, a ke aikane. A pela ka hoopai o ka mea noho ia la.”

Ma keia hele ana a Kukaea, a hiki i kahi a Kepakailiula e noho ana, me ke kahea i ka leo a nui. I aku o Kepakailiula i ke aikane: “Owai keia kanaka e kahea nei?” Olelo mai ke aikane: “O Kukaea, ke kanaka ponoi o Kaikipaananea. E hele ana e kukala i na mea a pau, e hele ma kahi o ke ’lii e koho ai i ka nane. Ina loaa, pakele ia i ka enaena o ka umu, ina loaa ole make ia i ka umu.”

A lohe o Kepakailiula i keia olelo, i aku ia i ke aikane: “Hea ia aku hoi ha, e hele mai maanei?” “Ka he kanaka ino, he pilo, no ka mea, he kukae kana ai.” Wahi a Kepakailiula: “E kahea aku oe, he makemake au e ike ia ia.” No keia olelo a Kepakailiula, kahea aku la o Kaunalewa ia ia. “Hele mai maanei.” Hele mai la o Kukaea a kokoke, i mai la: “Aole au e pono ke hele aku i laila, he ino au e ku aku la, he pilo, no ka mea, he kukae ka’u ai a hiki i keia la.” Kahea mai o Kepakailiula: “Hele mai, mai makau oe, a hopohopo.” A hiki o Kukaea, i aku o Kepakailiula: “E hamama ko waha.” A hamama ka waha o Kukaea a ninini iho la o Kepakailiula i ka wai, maloko a ma waho o ke kino, a pau iho la ke pilo o kona kino. Hoaahu iho la o Kepakailiula i ke kapa, a hoohume i ka malo, hanai iho la i ka ai a me ka ia, a maona. I aku o Kukaea ia Kepakailiula: “I aha la auanei ka’u uku ia oe? No ka mea, ua noho ae nei au a hiki i keia la, me ko’u alii, a ua hele ae nei no hoi a puni o Kauai, aole o’u mea nana i hanai i ka ai. Eia ka he mea ono ka ai a me ka ia. Nolaila, eia ka’u uku ia oe. E hai aku au ia oe i ka nane a ke ’lii. No ka mea, owau wale no ka mea i loaa ai o ka nane. Eia ua nane la, elua nane, elua haina.”

Plaited all around, Plaited to the bottom, Leaving an opening. The men that stand, The men that lie down, The men that are folded. Kai a puni, Kai a lalo, Koe koena. O kanaka i ku, O kanaka i moe, O kanaka i pelupelu ia.

“The answer to the first part is ‘house.’ The house is plaited all around and from top to bottom and an opening is left, the door. The answer to the second half is also ‘house.’ The sticks are made to stand, the battens are laid down and the grass and cords are folded. This is the answer to the king’s riddle. On the approach of that day, however, you come and stand in the presence of the people and when you see that the oven is sufficiently heated, for I shall be the one who shall attend to it, when you see that it is well heated, you give the answer to the first half. And when you see that the stones are being flattened out and some are taken out and placed on the edge, you give the answer to the second half, and then you take hold of Kaikipaananea and throw him into the oven.” Kepakailiula then said to the man: “You go home now, and when you get hungry come down here and have something to eat.” On the fourth day after the incidents related above, the people all gathered together at the king’s palace, when Kepakailiula also came. Eia ka haina o ka nane mua. “He hale. Ako ia a puni o luna me lalo, a koe ka puka. Eia ka lua o ka haina o ka nane. He hale no. He laau ka mea ku, he aho ka mea moe, he mauu a me ke kaula ka mea i pelupelu ia. Oia ka loaa o na nane a ke ’lii. Eia nae, a hiki ia la, hele ae oe, a mua o ke anaina. Nana ae oe i ka enaena o ka umu, no ka mea na’u no e kahu ka umu. A ike oe ua enaena, hai ae oe i ka loaa o ka nane mua. A ulu ka umu, a pau ke a i luna, hai ae oe i ka lua o ka nane. A pau ka hai ana, alaila, lalau aku au ia Kaikipaananea a kiola i loko o ka umu.” I aku o Kepakailiula: “E hoi oe a i pololi, iho mai ianei e ai ai.” A hiki i ka ha o ka la, akoakoa na mea a pau loa ma kahi o ke ’lii, ia manawa, hiki o Kepakailiula ma kahi o Kaikipaananea.

When Kaikipaananea saw Kepakailiula, he called out to him, saying: “Say, stranger, come here and join the contest. The sport today consists in the giving and answering of riddles. Whoever shall find my riddle shall be spared from the oven of heated stones; but if the answer shall be wrong, he shall be thrown to his death into the oven.” Kepakailiula then said: “Let the king give his riddle so that the people will know what it is. If it is not answered correctly the punishment is already known, that is, it will be death in the oven.” The king then answered: “Here is the first half of my riddle: Ike mai la o Kaikipaananea, kahea mai la: “E ka malihini, maanei e walea ai. Eia ka lealea o keia la, he nanenane. Ina e loaa a’u nane i ka mea e loaa ai, pakele ia i ka umu e a ana, aka, ina loaa ole, pau ia i ka umu, kalua ia.” I aku o Kepakailiula: “E hai mai no ke ’lii i lohe ia kana mau nane. Ina i loaa, a ina i loaa ole. Ua maopopo no ka hoopai, he kalua i ka umu. Eia a’u nane. Nane akahi:

Plaited all around, Plaited to the bottom, Leaving an opening. Kai a puni, Kai a lalo, A koe koena.

“The second half is this: “Eia ka lua o kuu nane.

The men that stand, The men that He down, The men that are folded. Kanaka i ku, Kanaka i moe, Kanaka i pelupelu ia.

All this time Kepakailiula had his eye on the oven and when he saw that it was sufficiently heated, he gave the answer to the first half, saying: “It is a ‘house.’ The house is plaited all around from top to bottom and an opening is left for the door.” Kepakailiula again looked at the oven, and when he saw that the stones were being placed on the edge, he gave the answer to the second half, saying: “The answer to the second half is also ‘house.’ The posts of a house are first made to stand up, then the battens are laid down and then the grass and cords are folded and fastened down.” At this Kaikipaananea asked him: “Who has informed you of the answer to my riddle?” While he was asking the question, he was caught and thrown into the oven and Kukaea held him down. While he was being held in the umu, he called out to the chiefs and warriors of Kauai, saying: “Say, are you then to look on unconcernedly while I am being put to death?” The chiefs and warriors of Kauai then jumped on Kepakailiula and attempted to kill him, Kepakailiula then took them as they came and broke them like twigs. Kukaea and Kaunalewa also jumped in and helped Kepakailiula, thus making three on their side. Nana aku la o Kepakailiula i ka enaena o ka umu. A enaena. Hai aku la ia i ka nane mua. “He hale. Ako ia ka hale a puni, a koe koena, he puka.” Nana hou o Kepakailiula, o ka ulu o ka umu. A makaukau ka ulu o ka umu, olelo aku o Kepakailiula. “He hale no. Kukulu ia ka hale a ku, hoaho ia ka aho, ako ia ka mauu a pelupelu me ke kaula pu.” I mai o Kaikipaananea: “I loaa la ia oe ia wai?” Iaia e olelo ana, o kona manawa ia i noho ai i loko o ka umu, ia Kukaea. Ia noho ana o Kaikipaananea i loko o ka umu. Kahea ae la ia i na ’lii a me na koa o Kauai. “Ea! o ka nana maka no ka ka oukou ia’u. Make au.” Lele iho la na ’lii o Kauai a me na koa i luna o Kepakailiula e pepehi. Ia manawa o Kepakailiula i haihai ai i na kanaka, me he laau liilii la ka papaaina, i na lima. Lele o Kukaea haihai pu i na kanaka, pela no hoi o Kaunalewa ke aikane a Kepakailiula, akolu lakou.

In this slaughter not a single chief or warrior who opposed the three was spared; all were killed. Those who ran away were the only ones who escaped. Ma keia pepehi ana, aohe alii koe, aohe kanaka pakele i ka make. O ka poe wale no i holo ke pakele.

After the fight Makolea was found and Kepakailiula took her to the home of his friend. Kepakailiula then said to his friend, Kaunalewa: “You shall be the king of the whole of Kauai. You shall be the king of the things above it and the things below it, the things in the uplands and the lowlands, the things that are cooked and uncooked. You shall be the ruler of the land and Kukaea shall rule under you.” Loaa aku la o Makolea, lawe mai la o Kepakailiula a noho iho la i kahi o ke aikane o Kaunalewa. Olelo aku la o Kepakailiula ia Kaunalewa: “O oe ke ’lii o Kauai a puni, o oe maluna a ma lalo, mauka, a makai, ka moa a me ka maka. O ka noho alii wale no kau maluna o ka aina. A o Kukaea, malalo mai ia ou, o oe maluna.”

After giving these orders, Kepakailiula and Makolea returned to Oahu. A pau ae la ke kauoha a Kepakailiula, hoi mai laua i Oahu nei me Makolea.

A eia hoi ka’u ia oe. I elua ma kou aoao, hui pu me oe, akolu. Alaila, akolu oukou, e aho ia mikomiko iho ka malihini.” A lohe o Ihuanu i keia olelo a Aiohikupua, olelo mai la ia: “He oi oe o ke kanaka olelo hookano.
