OF OULU. NO OULU.

He koa kaulana loa o Oulu no Maui, i ka wa e noho ana o Kahekili he ’lii nui no Maui. Ua kaulana loa o Oulu a hiki i keia la, ma na mokupuni o Hawaii nei a puni, no kona akamai loa i ka maa ana o ka ala. Aole e hala ka ala a Oulu ke maa i ke kanaka, i ka puaa, i ka ilio, i ka moa, ame na manu a pau loa. Ina e maa o Oulu i ka ala, a ke ahi, awawa ka lepo ke haule ka ala i lalo. E hiki ia Oulu ke kaua me ka poe (oia hoi, he mau kanaka lehulehu loa, ua like me aono lau kanaka a oi aku). Ua hiki iaia ke kaua me ke aupuni okoa. No ko Oulu akamai loa i ka maa ala, nolaila, ua makau ia oia e Maui a puni, ame na ’lii aimoku a pau loa. A nolaila, punahele o Oulu ia Kahekili a hiki i ka make ana.

RELATING TO THE VOYAGE OF KALAIOPUU TO MAUI TO FIGHT WITH KAHEKILI, THE KING OF MAUI. NO KA HOLO ANA MAI O KALAIOPUU I MAUI E KAUA ME KAHEKILI, KE ’LII NUI O MAUI.

Kalaiopuu sailed from Hawaii and arrived at Maui with his men, very many in number, and countless canoes. In this journey, Kekuhaupio had also accompanied Kalaiopuu to Maui. The place where the battle occurred was at Waikapu, in Maui. In this struggle, Kekuhaupio was not in the first engagement, because he was at Kalepolepo at that time. Only Kalaiopuu and the entire forces of Hawaii entered into the conflict. In this battle, all the Hawaii forces and the king, Kalaiopuu, were defeated. Holo mai la o Kalaiopuu mai Hawaii mai a hiki i Maui me kona mau kanaka he nui loa, ame na waa pau ole i ka helu. Ma keia holo ana, o Kekuhaupio kekahi i holo mai me Kalaiopuu i Maui. O kahi i kaua ai, ma Waikapu i Maui. Ma keia kaua ana, aole o Kekuhaupio i loko o ke kaua mua ana, nokamea, aia no o Kekuhaupio ma Kalepolepo ia wa. O Kalaiopuu ame na kanaka o Hawaii a pau loa kai hele i ke kaua. A ma keia kaua ana, ua hee ko Hawaii poe a pau loa ame ke ’lii o Kalaiopuu.

At this defeat, Kalaiopuu and all his men retired to the plain of Kamaomao, between Wailuku and Kalepolepo. On retreating, they were breathless because the Maui army gave chase. Their feet were becoming limp and not fleet in running; they were utterly exhausted. Ma keia hee ana, holo o Kalaiopuu ame na kanaka a pau loa i ke kula o Kamaomao, mawaena o Wailuku ame Kalepolepo. Ma keia holo ana, ua pau ko lakou aho i ke alualu ia e ko Maui poe koa. Ua hele a hoouka pu na wawae, aohe mama ma ka holo ana, ua hele a moe okoa.

While they were retreating, Kekuhaupio started out from Kalepolepo and arrived at the plain of Kamaomao. On approaching the plain, Kalaiopuu met him, whereupon Kekuhaupio asked him: “What is this?” Kalaiopuu answered: “We are defeated.” Kekuhaupio said: “Stand there to rest while I combat.” Ia lakou e holo ana, pii aku la o Kekuhaupio mai Kalepolepo aku, a hiki i ke kula o Kamaomao. Iaia i hiki ai ma ia kula halawai mai la o Kalaiopuu me ia. Ninau aku la o Kekuhaupio: “Heaha keia?” I mai la o Kalaiopuu: “Ua hee makou.” I aku o Kekuhaupio: “Ku iho peia e hoomaha, o wau ke hoouka aku.”

KEKUHAUPIO’S BATTLE WITH THE MAUI MEN. KO KEKUHAUPIO KAUA ANA ME NA KANAKA O MAUI.

At this point, we shall witness the incomparable bravery of Kekuhaupio and his not being killed by the multitude. When Kekuhaupio had finished speaking to Kalaiopuu, he planted himself between the Hawaii and the Maui forces. Whereupon the Mauiites fought against Kekuhaupio single-handed, but they were not victorious. Maanei e ike ai kakou i ke koa lua ole o Kekuhaupio ame kona make ole i ka lehulehu. A pau ka olelo a Kekuhaupio ia Kalaiopuu, ku iho la o Kekuhaupio mawaena o Hawaii ame ko Maui poe. A hoouka iho la ko Maui ia Kekuhaupio hookahi, aole nae lakou i lanakila.

In this struggle, Maui’s javelins, long spears, spear points, spikes, clubs, and every kind of pain-inflicting implement were thrust at Kekuhaupio. Nevertheless, those things were merely bathing water, for he was neither struck, nor hit by the stone. In this combat of Kekuhaupio with Maui, the javelin, spear point, lance, and stones were stacked up high on his side, and the Mauiites were without weapons. Ma keia kaua ana, o o ka ihe a Maui ia Kekuhaupio, ka pololu, ka elau, ke kuia, ka laau palau, ame na mea eha a pau loa. Aka, he wai auau ia mau mea no Kekuhaupio, aole ia i ku aole i pa i ka pohaku. Ma keia hoouka ana a Kekuhaupio me Maui, ua ku ke ahua o ka ihe, ka elau, ka pololu ma kona aoao, a me ka pohaku, a ua nele o Maui i ka mea kaua ole.

No keia nele o lakou i ka mea kaua ole, holo aku la lakou a ke alo o Kahekili, olelo aku la: “Kupanaha keia kanaka no Hawaii, he wai auau nona ka ihe ame na mea eha a pau loa. Aohe kanaka, he ’kua. Ua hee o Kalaiopuu ia makou ame ko Hawaii a pau loa, a e alualu ana makou a hiki i ke kula o Kamaomao. I nana aku ko makou hana, ku mai ana keia kanaka koa. Oia kanaka hoi ko makou mea nana i hoouka mai nei, aole i oni ia, aole hoi i alo ia. I ku malie wale ia mai no me ka nana maikai ia mai, a o ka nele iho la no ia i ke ku ia makou.”

THE CONTEST BETWEEN OULU AND KEKUHAUPIO. KE KAUA ANA O OULU ME KEKUHAUPIO.

Here we shall notice the courage of Oulu and Kekuhaupio. When Kahekili heard all the men of Maui’s report relative to Kekuhaupio because of his superior bravery and skill, he then inquired of Oulu: “How is that?” Oulu answered: “He is your god’s.” (Here is the meaning of Oulu’s remark: His sling and missile never missed, when cast at a man, pig, bird or dog. For which fact, the sling and the stone were deified in his estimation.) Whereupon, Oulu took up his sling and missiles and went forth to meet Kekuhaupio. Maanei kakou e ike ai i ko Oulu koa ame ko Kekuhaupio. A lohe o Kahekili i ka olelo a na kanaka a pau loa o Maui no Kekuhaupio i ke koa lua ole ame ke akamai, alaila, ninau ae la o Kahekili ia Oulu: “Pehea kela?” I mai o Oulu: “Na ko akua ia.” (Eia ke ano oia olelo a Oulu: O ka maa ame ka ala ana, aole e hala ke maa i ke kanaka, i ka puaa, i ka manu, i ka ilio. Nolaila, he ’kua ka maa ame ka ala i kona manao.) Ia manawa, lalau o Oulu i ka maa ame na ala a hele e halawai me Kekuhaupio.

Whilst they were standing, some six fathoms being the space between them, Oulu reached for his stone and placed it in the sling. On casting the first shot, the wind blew furiously, fire ignited, and the dirt where it fell was deeply furrowed. It sped with tremendous force and fell under the feet of Kekuhaupio. The reason for this escape of Kekuhaupio was his skill in evading. As he raised his foot, that was the time the place where he had been standing became a deep furrow, and the spot was permeated with heat, as if it were a fire. Oulu’s first stone having missed Kekuhaupio, Oulu reached for another, and placed it in the sling, that being the second. He then shot at Kekuhaupio. At this missile of Oulu’s, fear and dread entered Kekuhaupio. Wherefore, Kekuhaupio offered that pebble to the god, Lono. This is the manner in which he petitioned the god, Lono: Ia laua e ku ana, he mau anana eono ke kowa mawaena o laua a elua, lalau iho la o Oulu i ka ala a hookomo iho la i loko o ka maa. I ka maa ana i ka ala mua, hio ka makani, a ke ahi, kahawai ka lepo i haule ai. Lele aku la ia me ka ikaika loa a haule malalo o na kapuai o Kekuhaupio. O ke kumu o keia pakele ana o Kekuhaupio o kona akamai i ka alo ana. Iaia i kai ai i kona kapuai o ka manawa ia i lilo ai kona wahi i hehi ai, i awawa. A ua puni ua wahi la i ka wela me he ahi la. A hala ka ala mua a Oulu ia Kekuhaupio, lalau hou iho la o Oulu i ka ala, a ho-o iloko o ka maa, o ka lua ia. Alaila, maa hou o Oulu ia Kekuhaupio. Ma keia ala a Oulu, komo mai ka makau ame ka weliweli ia Kekuhaupio. Nolaila, haawi o Kekuhaupio ia ala na ke ’kua na Lono. Penei ke kaumaha ana a Kekuhaupio i ke ’kua ia Lono.

O Lono eh! O Lono eh! Yours is Oulu’s stone, Take you the unerring aim, The force of the sling stone. Turn it hither, thither; let it miss. Have compassion on the priest, On the great warrior of the east. Let me live! Let me live! The prayer is heard! Amen! ’Tis released! E Lono e! E Lono e! Nau ka ala a Oulu, E lawe oe i ka pololei, I ka ikaika, i ka maa, E uli ma o, ma o, e hala, E nana i ke kahuna, I ke koa nui o ka hikina, E ola au! E ola au! Lele wale! Amama! Ua noa.

Ia Kekuhaupio e kaumaha ana i ke ’kua ona ia Lono, lele mai la ka ala a Oulu, alo ae la o Kekuhaupio, hala. Alua ala a Oulu i hala. Alaila, lalau hou o Oulu i ka ala a hookomo i ka maa. Ia wa, nonoi o Kekuhaupio ia Oulu “Na’u ia ala.” “Ae” mai o Oulu. O ke kolu ia o na ala a Oulu, o ka pau no ia. Ma keia kaua ana a laua, ua lanakila o Kekuhaupio maluna o Oulu, a no keia pio ana o Oulu ia la, ua lanakila o Hawaii ia la.

Brief Sketch of Kamehameha I. Moolelo Pokole no Kamehameha I.

His Wars and Celebrities of His Time. Kana Mau Kaua, a Poe Kaulana Oia Wa.

He ’lii kaulana loa o Kamehameha I no ke koa a me ka ikaika loa, a oia ka oi o na ’lii nui o Hawaii nei mai kahiko loa mai, nolaila, he pono e nana pokole i kona moolelo o ka noho ilihune ana, a me ka noho waiwai ana. O Keoua mua ka makuakane o Kamehameha, o Kalaiopuu kaikaina no o Keoua (o kekahi inoa o Keoua, o Kalaninuikupuapaikalaninui). O kahi i hanai ia ai o Kamehameha, o Halawa, i Kohala, mai kona wa uuku a nui, alaila, mahiai o Kamehameha. Nana na laau e ulu la ma Halawa a hiki i keia la, oia ka noni, a me na mea e ae, a me kela heiau o Hapuu, makai o Halawa. Pela kona noho ana i kona wa ilihume, aina ole.

O ke kino o Kamehameha, he kino nui, paa ke nana aku, he kihikihi o luna kipoohiwi, he lawa ke kino, aohe hakahaka, he nui kona aa o luna o ka a-i.

The great king of Hawaii at that time was Kalaiopuu, and Kiwalao was born to him. Before his death at Waioahukini, in Kau, Kalaiopuu left the kingdom to his own son, Kiwalao. O ke ’lii nui o Hawaii ia wa e noho ana o Kalaiopuu, a ua hanau nana o Kiwalao. A make o Kalaiopuu ma Waioahukini ma Kau, hooili ihola ia i ke aupuni maluna o kana keiki ponoi, o Kiwalao.

OF KALAIOPUU’S WORDS TO KIWALAO AND KAMEHAMEHA. NO KA OLELO A KALAIOPUU IA KIWALAO A ME KAMEHAMEHA.

Mamua ae o ka make ana o Kalaiopuu, waiho aku ia i kana olelo kauoha i na keiki, ia Kiwalao a me Kamehameha, a me na ’lii a pau loa: “E na keiki, e hoolohe mai olua, o ka hooilina o ke aupuni o Hawaii nei, oia na moku ekolu, o Kau, o Kona, o Kohala, o Kiwalao ke ’lii, oia ka hooilina o na aina. O oe hoi e Kamehameha, aole ou aina, aole ou hooilina waiwai, aka, o kou aina a me kou hooilina, o ke ’kua o Kaili. Ina oe i noho a lalau ko haku ia oe, lawe ia ae ke aupuni, a ina hoi nau ka lalau i ko haku, e nele oe i ke ’kua ole.” Ma keia mau olelo a Kalaiopuu, ua hooko ia i na la o kana mau keiki, a ua ko no elike me kana mau olelo kauoha, aole i hala.

After the death of Kalaiopuu, Kamehameha came away with his inheritance, the god Kaili. He took care and preserved it, building for it stone enclosures at Kona and Kohala. The meaning of stone enclosures is temples (heiau). Kamehameha built temples at Hikiau in Kaawaloa; at Keeku, in Kahaluu; at Keikipuipui, in Kailua, all in Kona; and at Mailekini, in Kawaihae; Puukohola, in Kawaihae; Hapuu, in Halawa; Kupalaha, in Makapala; and Mookini, in Puuepa, all in Kohala. In these temples (heiau’s) Kamehameha was wont to worship his god, Kaili, thus maintaining his endowment given to him by his uncle, Kalaiopuu. Mahope o ka make ana o Kalaiopuu, hoi maila o Kamehameha me kona hooilina o ke ’kua o Kaili, a malama ihola, a hana i mau papohaku no kona akua no Kaili, ma Kona, ma Kohala. O ke ano o ka huaolelo papohaku, he heiau. Kukulu ihola o Kamehameha i na heiau: O Hikiau, ma Kaawaloa, o Keeku, ma Kahaluu, a me Keikipuipui, ma Kailua, i Kona. O Mailekini, ma Kawaihae, o Puukohola, ma Kawaihae, o Hapuu, ma Halawa, o Kupalaha, ma Makapala, a me Mookini, ma Puuepa, i Kohala. Ma keia mau heiau o Kamehameha i hoomana ai i kona akua o Kaili, a pela no hoi oia i malama ai i kona hooilina, mai ko laua makuakane mai o Kalaiopuu.

OF MOKUOHAI.5—FIRST BATTLE. NO MOKUOHAI.—KAUA MUA.

This was the battle that made Kamehameha king of Kona, Kohala and Hamakua. There remained the three divisions, Kau, Puna and Hilo, in Hawaii. The cause of this war was the desire of the chiefs of Hilo to possess Kona, which has a calm and pleasant climate. Oia ke kaua i ku ai o Kamehameha i ka moku o Kona, o Kohala, o Hamakua, koe ekolu moku o Hawaii, o Kau, o Puna, o Hilo. O ke kumu o keia kaua ana o ka makemake o ua ’lii o Hilo ia Kona i ka pohu, a me ka maikai, nolaila ke kaua.

A make o Kalaiopuu ma Waioahukini ma Kau, lawe maila na ’lii o Hilo a me Kau i ke kino kupapau o Kalaiopuu, maluna o na waa i Kona nei. Aka, aole ia o ko lakou manao maoli, aka, i hiki lakou i Kona, ka aina a lakou i makemake nui ai, alaila okioki, a kaua no hoi. Ma keia holo ana mai Kau mai a Kona, ua loaa lakou i ka ua ma ka moana me ke kino kupapau o Kalaiopuu, nolaila, pae lakou i Honaunau, ma Kona hema, aole i hiki i Kailua ma Kona akau nei, kahi a lakou i manao ai e pae. A pae lakou ma Honaunau, hele maila o Keeaumoku e ike i ke kupapau o Kalaiopuu. Ma keia ike ana o Keeaumoku, ua maopopo ia ia he kaua ke ano o na ’lii a me na kanaka.

Ma keia pae ana o na ’lii me ke kino kupapau o Kalaiopuu ma Honaunau, ia wa, okioki ihola na ’lii a me Kiwalao i ka aina o Hawaii, no lakou a pau. A ma ko Keeaumoku ike ana i ko lakou ano kaua, kii maila ia ia Kamehameha ma Halawa i Kohala, e hele e kaua. Ia Keeaumoku i holo ai mai Kona aku a Kekaha, halawai maila o Kamehameha meia, no ka mea, ua kii mua aku o Kekuhaupio ia Kamehameha ma Kohala. Ma keia halawai ana o lakou, kuka ihola lakou i ke ano o ke kaua, a me ka hana e pono ai, a akaka ihola, holo aku la lakou a hiki ma Kaawaloa, a ma Keei.

A hiki o Kamehameha malaila, hele maila o Kiwalao e aloha ia Kamehameha me na olelo pahele hoopunipuni, penei: “Auhea oe, e make ana kaua, eia no ka makuakane o kaua ke pue mai nei e kaua (oia o Keawemauhili), elua wale no paha auanei kaua e make, aloha wale kaua.” A pau ka ike ana o Kiwalao me Kamehameha hoi akula o Kiwalao a Honaunau, okioki i na aina me na ’lii, a nele o Keoua i ka aina ole, huhu ihola ia. Hele aku la o Keoua me kona mau kanaka a hiki ma Keomo, kua ihola i ka niu, pepehi i ke kanaka, make ihola ko Kamehameha kanaka. Alaila, hoomaka ke kaua, ekolu la i kaua ai. Ma keia kaua ana, eha alii mahope o Kamehameha, Keeaumoku, Keaweheulu, Kameeiamoku, Kekuhaupio.

In the days of this battle Keeaumoku was the chief on Kamehameha’s side who contended with Kiwalao’s warriors. In the fray he got entangled with a long spear which threw him down. Kiwalao’s men then stabbed him on the back, with wooden daggers. When Keeaumoku fell a man pierced him with a long spear, whereby he became very weak and near unto death, while the man said with a taunting brag: “My spear has struck a yellow-backed crab.” Iloko o na la i kaua ai, o Keeaumoku ke ’lii ma ko Kamehameha aoao i kaua aku, me ko Kiwalao poe kaua. Ma keia hoouka ana o Keeaumoku, ua hihia oia i ka pololu, a hina ihola ilalo, o o ihola na koa o Kiwalao i ka pahoa ia Keeaumoku ma kona kua. I keia hina ana, hou ihola kekahi koa ia Keeaumoku i ka pololu, a ua nawaliwali oia, aneane e make, me ka hua olelo kaena penei: “Ku aku la kau laau i ka aama kua lenalena.”

Alaila, pane mai o Kiwalao i ke koa nana e hou nei o Keeaumoku i ka pololu: “E malama i ka niho palaoa.” Alaila, maopopo ia Keeaumoku e make ana ia i loko o ka Kiwalao olelo ana. Ia Keeaumoku e waiho ana ilalo, alaila, hoouka aku la o Kamanawa me ko Kiwalao poe koa, a ku aela hoi o Mahoe me kana maa, a pa aku la o Kiwalao i ka pohaku, hina ilalo. A ike o Keeaumoku ua hina o Kiwalao ilalo, hooikaika aela ia, a loaa o Kiwalao, uumi ihola ia me ka leiomanu ma kona lima, a make ihola o Kiwalao.

On the death of Kiwalao, Kamehameha continued the fighting, and became victorious over the opposing chiefs. Keoua fled by sea to Kau, and reigned there. Keawemauhili fled over the mountains and became ruler over Hilo and Puna, while Kamehameha became ruler over Kona, Kohala and Hamakua. Therefore there were three different rulers on Hawaii at that time. A make o Kiwalao, hoouka ihola o Kamehameha me na ’lii, a lanakila aela o Kamehameha mahuka aku la o Keoua ma ke kai a hiki i Kau noho alii. A o Keawemauhili, mahuka aku la ia ma ka mauna a noho alii maluna o Hilo a me Puna. A o Kamehameha hoi, noho alii ihola ia maluna o Kona, o Kohala, o Hamakua. A nolaila, akolu alii noho aupuni o Hawaii ia wa.

O ka lua keia o ko Kamehameha kaua ana i kona mau enemi, oia o Keoua a me Keawemauhili. O keia kaua ana, ma ka mauna o Kau, nolaila kela inoa, o Kauaawa, no ka ua ma ka mauna.

When he arrived at Keaau, in Puna, he made a landing at Papai, where fishermen gathered for their daily vocation. A hiki o Kamehameha ma Keaau i Puna, o Papai kahi o na lawaia e noho ana, oia ke awa a Kamehameha i pae ai.

OF KAMEHAMEHA’S GREAT STRENGTH IN FIGHTING. KA IKAIKA O KAMEHAMEHA MA KA HAKAKA ANA.

On landing at this place, where a number of fishermen dwelt, he chased after them intending to kill them, and while thus pursuing the fishermen, he fell in a crevice in the rocks where his foot caught and held him fast. Therefore he tried with all his might to extricate himself. Ma keia pae ana o Kamehameha, he mau lawaia e noho ana ma laila, alualu aku la o Kamehameha e pepehi i na lawaia. Ma keia alualu ana, ua haule o Kamehameha i loko o ka mawae a paa loa kona wawae, nolaila, oni aela ia me kona ikaika loa.

By a tremendous effort Kamehameha extricated his foot and chased after the men. There was a large clump of ohia trees in his way which could not be encircled by less than three men. This obstructed Kamehameha from chasing after the men, but he reached around one side of the clump of ohias till he caught one of the men, whose body he bent over towards the clump of ohias, and thus killed him. When the other men saw this they were fearfully alarmed and ran away. A no ka ikaika loa o ko Kamehameha oni ana, hemo aela kona wawae, alaila, alualu aku la ia i ke kanaka. Aia hoi, he opu ohia nui e ku ana mamua o ko Kamehameha alo, ekolu kanaka nana e apo puni ae, oia ka mea nana i keakea i ko Kamehameha hahai ana, aka, apo aku la o Kamehameha me kona mau lima ma na aoao o ke opu ohia, a loaa aku la ke kanaka ia ia, hoopio maila ia i ke kino o ke kanaka i ke opu ohia, a make ihola.

THE FOURTH BATTLE, AT KOAPAPAA. KAUA AHA A KAMEHAMEHA, KOAPAPAA.

This battle was a secret invasion by Keoua. When Kamehameha had gone to Maui and then to Molokai, at Kaunakahakai, a messenger arrived from Hawaii, apprising him of Keoua’s cruelty to his (Kamehameha’s) subjects, by robbing them of their property, by the wantonly killing of men, women and children, the cutting of taro from the fields with overbearing arrogance, and all other malicious acts. Women who were with child were trampled under foot, pierced with small bambus and with sticks and stones. O keia kaua ana, he kaua poa na Keoua, a hala o Kamehameha i Maui, a Molokai, a Kaunakahakai hiki maila ka elele mai Hawaii mai, e hai mai ana i ko Keoua paia i ko Kamehameha mau makaainana, hao wale i ka waiwai, pepehi wale i ke kane me ka wahine, ke keiki, kokohi ku i ke kalo i waena, a me na hana ino a pau loa. Na wahine hapai keiki, hehihehi ia me ka wawae, pahu ia me ke ulili liilii, a me ka laau, ka pohaku.

When Kamehameha heard of these acts of Keoua, his love for the people of his three possessions, Kona, Kohala and Hamakua, was manifested, as they were cruelly slaughtered by Keoua. Kamehameha then abandoned his idea of going to Oahu.

A lohe o Kamehameha i keia mau hana a Keoua, hu mai kona aloha i na makaainana o kona mau moku ekolu, o Kona, o Kohala, o Hamakua, i ka luku wale ia e Keoua me ka hoomainoino, a me ka pono ole, alaila, pau ko Kamehameha manao ana e holo i Oahu. Hoi aku la o Kamehameha a hiki i Hawaii, kaua laua me Keoua ma Hamakua, a hee aku la o Keoua ia Kamehameha, a noho ma Kau, a mahope make ma Kawaihae i Kohala. A ua kapaia ia kaua ana o Koapapaa; eia ke ano oia inoa: O na koa o Keoua ua lilo i make, a i mea ole imua o Kamehameha, a me kona mau koa, a ua waiho lakou ilalo ma ka honua me he mau pauku laau la, elike me na mea kalua i loko o ka umu e ahu ana, me ka papaa loa i ka wela o ke ahi.

PIHANA. NO PIHANA.

Pihana was a very celebrated warrior chief of Oahu, in the days of Kalaikupule, the great chief of Oahu. He (Pihana) was noted for his bravery and skill; the use of the spear, the lance, the javelin, were as a bath to him; his joys and pleasures; he could fight other people and many of them with the help of but a few soldiers. Oia kekahi alii koa kaulana loa Oahu nei, i na la o Kalaikupule ko Oahu nei alii nui. Ua kaulana loa ia no ke koa a me ke akamai, o ka ihe, ka pololu, ka elau, he wai auau ia nona. Ua hiki ia ia ke hoouka me ka poe, a me ka lehulehu, me na koa uuku loa.

THE SIXTH BATTLE.32 KE KAUA AONO.

This was the battle between Kamehameha and Kalaikupule at Nuuanu. Kalaimoku was Kamehameha’s chief warrior, from Hawaii, and Pihana was Kalaikupule’s chief warrior. Oia ke kaua ana o Kamehameha me Kalaikupule ma Nuuanu. O Kalaimoku ko Kamehameha pukaua nui, mai Hawaii mai, a o Pihana ko Kalaikupule pukaua nui.

I ka holo ana mai a Kamehameha mai Hawaii mai me kona mau waa, a me na koa he lehulehu loa, a pae ma Kapua, ka makamua o na waa, oia o Kalaimoku ka pukaua nui o Kamehameha. Ia Kalaimoku i hoomaka mai ai e lele mai na waa mai a ka aina, ia wa i hele aku ai o Pihana me kona mau koa eiwa a ku ma ke awa o Kapua. Hoomaka ko lakou hoouka kaua ana, o na kanaka a pau loa o Hawaii me Kalaimoku ia wa, ewalu kanaka ka nui o lakou. Oia poe a pau loa kai hou mai i ka ihe a me ka pololu ia Pihana, a me kona mau koa eiwa, aole nae lakou i ku, aole hoi i make kekahi o lakou. Pela lakou i kaua ai a pau ia, nee mai la lakou a Waikiki, kaua hou. Ilaila i alu ai na koa o Hawaii ia Pihana, aole i ku. Malaila ka hele kaua ana a hiki i Kulaokahua, malaila a Puowaina ma kona kua iho, ku kekahi koa Oahu nei i ka pu a ka haole, i ki malu ia. Malaila ae ko lakou pii ana a hiki i Pauoa, a hala ia, pii mao o Kaheiki e pili la me Maemae, alaila, ku ka poe o Hawaii.

O Kalaikupule a me ka poe kaua, mauka lakou o Waolani kahi i hoomoana ai, a o kona pukaua o Pihana, oia ka mea nana e hoouka ana me Kalaimoku. O Kalaimoku a me ka poe koa o Hawaii, he poe okoa ia, ua paa o waho i ka upena nae, oia ka pa o waho o na kanaka, ina mawaho ke kanaka, alaila, he Oahu ia, ina maloko o ka upena he Hawaii ia. Ma keia hana ana ku mai o Pihana me kona mau koa eiwa, a hoouka me Kalaimoku, ma ia hoouka ana, aole i hee o Pihana me kona mau koa.

Thus he stood until tired when he laid down, face downward, and then on his back. He then stooped and exhibited his posterior in vulgar defiance, and in all that time the men from Hawaii were casting their spears and javelins at him without hitting him. The men from Hawaii, looking at him found no one among many equal to him in agility and daring.

Nolaila, nonoi aku o Kalaimoku ia Pihana, e hooki i kona kaua ana mai a e haawi mai ia Oahu nei no Kamehameha. Olelo mai o Pihana: “Alia au e haawi aku ia oe i ka aina, aia a pau kuu auau ana i ka laau a Hawaii, ekolu la i koe, alaila, waiho aku au i ka aina i kou lima.” Alaila, ku mai o Pihana hookahi imua o na koa o Hawaii, hou na kanaka i ka ihe a me ka pololu, a me ka elau, nou ka pohoku, alaila, he alo wale no ka Pihana hana. Pela kona ku ana a maloeloe, moe ilalo, a pau ia, huli iluna ke alo, a pau ia, hoopohopoho ka lemu iluna, hou no o Hawaii i ka ihe a me ka pololu, aka, aohe ku o Pihana.

After two days had passed Pihana joined his forces, which was the time of the great battle. He tore the surrounding net and stood at the opening. No spear nor lance was hurled, the dread of Pihana being so great. On the third day Pihana again came forward to fight with the warriors from Hawaii. He went up to Kalaimoku and ceded the land to him. Therefore Kalaikupule was vanquished. Ma ka nana ana a na koa o Hawaii, aole e loaa kona lua, i ke akamai a me ke koa luaole i loko o ka lehulehu. A hala elua la, nee aku la o Pihana a hiki i ka poe, oia ke kaua nui loa, hahae aku la o Pihana i ka upena o waho, a ku aku la ma ka waha, aole nae he ihe hou mai a me ka pololu, no ka makau ia Pihana. I ke kolu o ka la, ku hou o Pihana e kaua me na koa o Hawaii, a hele aku la o Pihana a loaa o Kalaimoku haawi aku la i ka aina ia Kalaimoku, nolaila, pio ai o Kalaikupule.

SEVENTH BATTLE BY KAMEHAMEHA. KAUA AHIKU A KAMEHAMEHA.

Mahope o ko Kamehameha kaua ana ma Oahu me Kalaikupule, kipi o Namakaeha ma Hilo, he ’lii no e noho ana malaila, a hoomakaukau ihola oia e kaua me Kamehameha. Ia wa, e noho ana o Kamehameha ma Oahu, alaila, hoi aku la ia i Hawaii no ke kaua me Namakaeha. Ma keia kaua ana, ua make o Namakaeha ia Kamehameha ma Kaipalaoa ma Hilo.

A ua kukulu oia i kona noonoo a me kona naauao maluna o kona mau aina a pau me ka pololei.

THE ADMINISTRATION OF KAMEHAMEHA. KO KAMEHAMEHA HOOPONOPONO ANA I KONA AUPUNI.

He ’lii naauao loa o Kamehameha, he ’lii hana pololei, he ’lii oluolu, he ’lii lokomaikai, he ’lii malama kanaka. Penei kona hoonohonoho ana i kana mau hana i loko o kona aupuni.

Here are also the names of certain men whom Kamehameha brought together to be with him; men who were skillful in all things, and who were considerate and intelligent. Here are their names and their offices: Eia hoi na kanaka akamai i laweia mai e Kamehameha e noho pu meia, he poe akamai i kela mea keia mea, a he poe noonoo me ka naauao. Eia ko lakou mau inoa a me ka lakou mau hana:

Kalaimoku, a favorite, a chief warrior; Hewahewa, a priest; Kaumiumi, a fortune-teller; Kapoukahi, a statesman; Kaaloakauila, an advocate; Kekakau, a surf rider; Kekuhaupio, a celebrated warrior; Kepaalani, a canoeist; Waipa, a shipwright; Palake, a canoe builder; Kapueuhi, a dancer; Kamakau, a chanter; Keaweaheulu, a lua-apana (jester); Hoomakaukau, a steward; Wahahee, a masseur; Kalaimamahu, the law-giver or judge; Kamaalo, god impersonator; Kanihonui, observer of the kapu restrictions; Kaikioewa, an extortioner (thief). The word lua-apana means doing nothing, spending time in laziness. The word kikoola means robbing others of their property, and perjuring. Kalaimoku, he punahele, he pukaua; Hewahewa, he kahuna; Kaumiumi, he kilokilo; Kapoukahi, he kuhikuhipuuone; Kaaloakauila, he kakaolelo; Kekakau, he heenalu; Kekuhaupio, he koa kaulana; Kepaalani, he hoewaa; Waipa, he kapilimoku; Palake, he kalaiwaa; Kapueuhi, he hula; Kamakau, he olioli; Keaweaheulu, he luaapana; Hoomakaukau, he aipuupuu; Wahahee, he lomilomi; Kalaimamahu, he kanawai; Kamaalo, he akua; Kanihonui, he aikapu; Kaikioewa, he kikoola. No ka hua olelo luaapana eia ke ano: he nohowale, he hoopau i ka molowa. No ka huaolelo kikoola, eia ke ano, he haowale i ka hai waiwai, a me na olelo lalau.

He took care of the people as though they were children, and his wives he placed as guardians. He, with his chiefs and the men of his court, cultivated the land and the result of which was that most noted field of Kuahewa, in upper Kailua, North Kona, Hawaii. It was most noted for its great size and length. It comprised eight divisions of land, about seven miles. Ua malama oia i na makaainana mehe keiki la, a me kana mau wahine, ua hoonoho i mau kiaiai. A ua mahiai oia i ka ai me kona mau alii, a me na kanaka aialo, oia kela mala kaulana loa o Kuahewa, mauka o Kailua ma Kona akau, Hawaii. Ua kaulana loa ia no kona nui loa a me kona loihi ke nana aku. Ua komo ewalu ahupuaa i loko ona, ua like me ahiku mile.

O ka waiwai nui i loko o ko Kamehameha noho aupuni ana, o ka iliahi, he laau aala loa ia, a he laau waiwai loa, ua ulu ia laau ma na mauna, a ma na aina nahelehele loa. O ka hulu o na manu, o ka oo a me ka manu e ae, oia ka ahuula o na ’lii a me na koa.

O ka nui o ko Kamehameha mau makahiki o ka noho aupuni ana, ehiku ia, a make ihola ia i ka walu o na makahiki, oia ka makahiki o ka Haku 1819. Ma Kailua, i Kona Hawaii kahi i make ai o Kamehameha, a malaila i hoolilo ia ai o Liholiho i hooilina no kona aupuni.

OF THE CHIEF KEKUAOKALANI, AND HIS INSURGENCY. NO KE ’LII O KEKUAOKALANI; KONA KIPI ANA.

O ke kumu o keia kipi ana o Kekuaokalani, o ka noa ana o ka ai kapu, o ko Liholiho ae ana i ka ainoa, oia ke kumu i huhu ai o Kekuaokalani a manao ai e kaua, e luku i ka poe ainoa. Eia ke ano o ka ai kapu; ai okoa ke kane, hale okoa, imu okoa, a pela aku; ka wahine, pela no, he kaawale laua ma na pono o ke kino. Ainoa, eia ke ano; he ai pu ke kane me kana wahine, he nohopu i ka hale hookahi, a pela aku.

A make o Kamehameha, ili ke aupuni ia Liholiho. A o Kekuaokalani hoi, aole ona makemake ia Liholiho e ainoa ke aupuni, makemake oia e aikapu, nolaila, aua oia ia Liholiho, aka, hoole o Kaahumanu a me na ’lii, aohe makemake e aikapu. O ke kumu o ka ainoa ana, o ka make ana o Kamehameha, nolaila, kumakena na mea a pau loa, a i loko oia wa, ai pu ke kane me ka wahine, ai i na mea kapu a pau loa, a nolaila, ua laha mai ia noa ana a hiki i ke kaua ma Kuamoo, me Kekuaokalani.

When Kekuaokalani heard that Liholiho and all the chiefs had acceded to the ainoa, he went and resided at Kaawaloa with his wife, Manono. He then prepared to rebel and to fight against the ainoa people. Then two chiefs, Naihe and Hoapili, set sail from Kailua to Kaawaloa. They said to Kekuaokalani: “We have come to bring you back to your nephew and reside at Kailua, and it shall be as you desire whether the restrictions be continued or raised. But that shall be as you desire.” Kekuaokalani then said: “You two tarry here until Manono hears about it. Tomorrow I will tell you.” A lohe o Kekuaokalani ua ainoa o Liholiho a me na ’lii a pau loa, holo aku la ia a noho ma Kawaaloa, me kana wahine o Manono. A hoomakaukau ihola ia e kipi, a kaua me ka poe e ainoa ana, alaila, holo aku la kekahi mau alii mai Kailua aku a Kaawaloa, oia o Naihe a me Hoapili. I aku laua ia Kekuaokalani: “I kii mai nei maua ia oe, e hoi me ko keiki i Kailua e noho ai, a aia no hoi i kou manao, e ainoa paha, e aikapu paha, aka, aia no i kou manao.” I aku o Kekuaokalani: “Pela iho olua, a lohe o Manono, apopo hai aku au ia olua.”

They rested there, and in the morning Kekuaokalani came to the presence of Hoapili and Naihe. They then asked, “Are we going?” Kekuaokalani said “Yes,” but his assent was not real. He was bent on war. Wherefore Naihe and Hoapili said: “The navel is cut then, companion.” Moe ihola lakou a ao aela, hele maila o Kekuaokalani a ma ke alo o Hoapili a me Naihe, olelo aku laua: “O ka holo keia o kakou?” ae aku o Kekuaokalani, “Ae.” Aka, aole ona ae io, he manao kaua kona. Noia mea, olelo aku o Naihe me Hoapili: “Wehe i ka piko la e na hoahanau.”

After this Naihe and Hoapili returned and arrived at Kailua, and told Kalaimoku to prepare for war. Nine war canoes were made ready. Kalaimoku marched overland, and when he came to Lekeleke, the battle commenced with Kekuaokalani’s scouts. In this battle Kalaimoku was defeated and a number of his men were killed. They again met at Kuamoo, where they fought from morning till evening when Kekuaokalani was killed. He was hit in the leg by a bullet, the effects of which rendering him very weak. His wife Manono remained safe. Mahope olaila, hoi maila o Hoapili me Naihe, a hiki ma Kailua olelo akula ia Kalaimoku: “E hoomakaukau no ke kaua, a makaukau na waa eiwa, hele maila mauka.” A hiki o Kalaimoku ma Lekeleke, hoomaka ke kaua na kiu o Kekuaokalani, ma keia kaua ana, hee o Kalaimoku a make kekahi mau kanaka ona. A mahope, halawai me Kekuaokalani ma Kuamoo. Malaila lakou i kaua ai, mai ke kakahiaka a ahiahi, make o Kekuaokalani, ku kona wawae i ka poka a nawaliwali loa; koe kana wahine o Manono.

Manono was a very beautiful woman and her face very fair to look upon. She called to Kalaimoku and the men thus: “O spare us two! There is no safety before the mouth of a gun.” Kalaimoku then said: “You shall not live, because the chief has been killed.” Therefore she was shot and died soon after. He wahine maikai loa o Manono, a he nani kona helehelena ke nana aku, oia kai hea mai ia Kalaimoku a me na koa, penei: Kahea mai o Manono, “E ola maua e! Aole e ola i ka waha o ka pu.” I aku o Kalaimoku: “Aole oe e ola, no ka mea, ua make ke ’lii,” nolaila, ki ia aku la i ka pu, a make ihola.

After the death of Kekuaokalani and his wife Manono at Kuamoo, Kalaimoku returned with the warriors to Kailua. They held a consultation and decided to make war upon that other insurgent, Kainapau, a commoner, residing at Waipio, in Hamakua. Kalaimoku and his men then set sail and arrived at Kawaihae. From here they marched up to Waimea, arriving at a place called Pahupahua, near Mahiki, where the fighting occurred. In the melee the rebels were annihilated and Kainapau overthrown. He fled to the uttermost backwoods of Waipio, hiding there, and while so doing, was found by the searchers. Kainapau was killed on the spot, and his intestines strung out to dry in the sun. That is the dreadful end of the evil-minded, the rebellious and the wrong-doer, a horrible death. A make o Kekuaokalani ma Kuamoo, me kana wahine o Manono, hoi maila o Kalaimoku me na koa a hiki ma Kailua, ahaolelo ihola lakou a holo, e kii e kaua i kela kipi ma Waipio, i Hamakua, oia o Kainapau makaainana. A holo aku la o Kalaimoku me na koa, a pae ma Kawaihae, pii aku la lakou a hiki i Waimea, ma Pahupahua e kokoke ana ma Mahiki, loaa ke kaua. Ma keia kaua ana, ua luku ia ka poe kipi a ua hee o Kainapau a holo aku la ia mai Mahiki aku a uka loa o Waipio, pee. Ma keia pee ana, ua loaa i ka poe huli, a malaila ua pepehi ia o Kainapau, a o kona naau, ua uu ia a kaulai i ka la. Oia ka hope weliweli o ka poe lokoino, kipi a hana pono ole. He make hoomainomaino ia.

OF HEMA. NO HEMA.

Hema was one of the most famous warriors in the days of Kamehameha, and a man who was not afraid of the bravery and strength of others. Hema was not trained to be a warrior, or in the art of war. He was not accustomed to the waging of wars, and was never a warrior. He was a steward of Kamehameha, and his duties were to take and keep in charge rations for the king every day. While going abroad in war times he was the bearer of food, and when a battle was in progress and Kamehameha became hungry, then Hema would bring him provisions. Oia kekahi koa kaulana loa i loko o ko Kamehameha mau la, a he kanaka makau ole i ko hai koa a me ka ikaika. O Hema, aole oia i ao ia i ke koa a me ke kaua, aole i maa ma na hoouka kaua, aole no hoi oia he koa. Aka, he aipuupuu o Hema na Kamehameha, o kana hana o ka lawe a me ka malama i wahi ai na ke ’lii i na la a pau loa. I ka wa hele mao a mao, i ka wa kaua, oia ka mea lawe ai, i ka wa e kaua ai o Kamehameha a pololi, alaila lawe aku o Hema i ka ai a me kahi ia.

In all these works pertaining to a steward Hema was an expert, and was satisfactory to Kamehameha, but he had not received a chiefly term, nor fame, nor was he a favorite, but on the day that he chose to be a warrior and destroyed the enemies of Kamehameha, that day he became a chief and a favorite of Kamehameha, and abandoned his stewardship. Ma keia mau hana a pau loa i pili i ka aipuupuu, ua makaukau loa o Hema, a ua kupono i ko Kamehameha makemake, aka, aole i loaa kona inoa alii, a me ke kaulana a me ka punahele. A i kona la i lalau ai i ke koa a luku aku i na enemi o Kamehameha, ia la oia i lilo ai i alii, a punahele na Kamehameha, a pau kona lawe ana i ka oihana aipuupuu.

After considerable fighting Kamehameha was very much out of breath, and the men of Keoua were being reinforced. Just then Kamehameha expectantly turned to the rear; but there were no chiefs, nor warriors behind him, only Hema the steward.

While Kamehameha was talking to Hema, the enemies were preparing to take Kamehameha’s life, but Hema fearlessly leapt forward and slew the warriors of Keoua. By this work of Hema in leaping forward to repulse the enemies, Kamehameha was victorious that day, and his life was saved, and Keoua defeated. Hence the name Koapapaa until this day, which means that the warriors became a storehouse of death and the lance and the spear the pathway, here and there. The warriors were left there in that valley, a pile of earth.

Ia Kamehameha e kaua ana me Keoua, ma Koapapaa, i Hamakua, aia kela wahi ma Kealakaha e pili la me Kaula, ma kela kahawai nui hohonu, o Kekualele kona inoa, ilalo o laila i hoouka ai na koa ikaika o Keoua me Kamehameha. No ka mea, o ka honua olalo e ku ai, hookahi anana wale no ke akea, a maia wahi i noke ai o Kamehameha me na koa o Keoua, he kanaha a oi aku. Mahope o keia noke ana, ua pau loa ke aho o Kamehameha, a ua nui mai na koa o Keoua, ia wa huli o Kamehameha i hope, aohe alii, aohe koa mahope ona, hookahi wale no o Hema, o ka aipuupuu.

On reflection, therefore, perhaps there never was a man on the continents, or on the Isles of the Sea, who had never studied the requirements of a warrior, and who did go to war as Hema was, the unlearned.

A ike o Kamehameha i ke koa lua ole o Hema, olelo aku la ia: “I keia la oe e lilo ai i alii elike me a’u, a i keia la e waiho oe i ka lawe, a me ke amo i ka ukana, a e lilo oe i punahele ma ko’u alo a me kona ’lii, a pela na makaainana.

Of Kekuawahine. No Kekuawahine.

He kanaka maalea loa o Kekuawahine i ka pahele, a me ka hoopunipuni. He hiki ia ia ke hoolilo i ka oiaio ole i oiaio, i ka pololei i pololei ole, a pela aku no. I ka wa e noho ana o Kamehameha ma Pakaka, Kona, Oahu (oia kahi a Kimo haole e noho nei), i ka wa i puni ai na aina ia Kamehameha mai Hawaii a Niihau, e noho ana ia me kana wahina o Kaahumanu. O Kanaihalau, he makuakane ia no Kaahumanu, hoonoho aku la o Kaahumanu ia Kanaihalau maluna o Hamakua, Kawaihae, Waimea. O keia mau aina, aia ma Hawaii, lilo aela o Kanaihalau i punahele imua o kana kaikamahine o Kaahumanu. Ma keia lilo ana o Kanaihalau i punahele, ua huahua loa o Kekuawahine a me na ’lii a pau loa, a ua pono ole ko lakou noho ana ma Waimea a me Kawaihae, nolaila, noonoo ihola o Kekuawahine i kana mea e hana ai.

Kanaihalau was then with his deputy, superintending the lands. There were two of them, however, Kanaihalau and Malaihi, who were chiefs over Hamakua, Waimea and Kawaihae. Malaihi was at Oahu, residing with Kekuawahine, and while thus living together, Kekuawahine said to Malaihi: “Let us go until we come near to the presence of Kamehameha; you will then stay behind, and I will go forward and have conversation with Kamehameha, while you will watch me talk.” After this conference they set forth, and when they were near enough, Malaihi remained behind. O Kanaihalau, aia no oia e hooponopono ana i ka aina me kona hope. Elua nae laua, o Kanaihalau, o Malaihi, oia na ’lii maluna o Hamakua, Waimea, Kawaihae. O Malaihi, ma Oahu nei no ia kahi i noho ai me Kekuawahine. Ia laua e noho pu ana, olelo aku la o Kekuawahine ia Malaihi: “E hele kaua a kokoke aku i ke alo o Kamehameha, noho iho oe, owau ke hele aku e kamailio pu me Kamehameha, alaila, nana ae oe i ku’u kamailio.” Mahope o keia kamailio ana, hele aku la laua a kokoke, noho ihola o Malaihi.

As Malaihi did so, Kekuawahine spoke as follows: “I am now going to have a talk with Kamehameha. Keep your eyes on me, and do not wander, because on this day we will seal Kanaihalau’s death. If I stretch out my hand, that is the signal for Kanaihalau’s death. If I bow down and nod back toward here, then that is a sign for you to go and kill Kanaihalau. So you remain and watch while I go and talk with Kamehameha.” Kekuawahine then proceeded to the outside of Kamehameha’s fence and stood there watching Kamehameha chatting with the chiefs. And while they were talking Kekuawahine stretched his arm toward the sea, and afterwards looked to the rear and nodded. After performing these movements, he returned to Malaihi. Ma keia noho ana a Malaihi, olelo aku o Kekuawahine, penei: “Eia au ke hele nei a kamailio me Kamehameha, e nana pono ko maka ia’u, mai lalau oe, no ka mea, o ka la keia make o Kanaihalau ia kaua. Ina i kuhi ku’u lima o ko Kanaihalau make ia, ina i kulou ku’u poo a kunou i hope nei, alaila o ko kii ia a pepehi ia Kanaihalau. Nolaila, e noho oe e nana, e hele au e kamailio me Kamehameha.” Hele aku la o Kekuawahine a hiki ma waho o ka pa o Kamehameha, ku aku la nana i ke kamailio a Kamehameha me na ’lii. Ia lakou e kamailio ana, kuhi aku la ko Kekuawahine lima i kai, a pau ia, nana maila ihope nei a kunou maila, a pau keia mau mea ia ia i ka hana, hoi maila ia a hiki imua o Malaihi.

When he had come before Malaihi, he said: “Well, you saw me perhaps stretch my hand toward the sea?” Malaihi answered: “Yes.” “And you saw me nodding my head to the rear here?” Malaihi answered: “Yes.” Then Kekuawahine said to Malaihi: “You go back to Hawaii today, and when you arrive kill Kanaihalau.” A hiki o Kekuawahine imua o Malaihi, i aku la ia ia Malaihi: “Ea, ua ike ae nei no paha oe ia’u i ke kuhi o ku’u lima i kai?” “Ae” aku o Malaihi, “ae.” “A ua ike ae nei no oe ia’u i ke kunou o ku’u poo i hope nei?” “Ae” mai o Malaihi, “ae.” Alaila, olelo aku o Kekuawahine ia Malaihi: “E hoi oe i Hawaii i keia la, a hiki oe, pepehi oe ia Kanaihalau a make.”

After these instructions Malaihi went back to Hawaii, and landed at Kawaihae. He then went up and passed Waimea, arriving at Hamakua. He found Kanaihalau residing at Eleio, in Waikoekoe. Kanaihalau was then murdered, the bones were stripped of the flesh and bundled up in mats, hence the expression “Kanaihalau Paahu” to this day. The death of Kanaihalau was reported to Kaahumanu in Oahu, who thereupon began to wail until she came into the presence of Kamehameha, and when Kamehameha heard of the occurrence, he commanded that Malaihi be killed. Thus died those chiefs. Mahope o keia mau olelo, hoi la o Malaihi a hiki i Hawaii, a pae ma Kawaihae, pii aku la ia a hala o Waimea, hiki i Hamakua, loaa o Kanaihalau e noho ana ma Eleio i Waikoekoe. Pepehi ia ihola o Kanaihalau a make, holehole ia na iwi a wahi ia i ka ahu moena, nolaila kela inoa, “Kanaihalau Paahu,” a hiki i keia la. Ma keia make ana o Kanaihalau, ua lohe o Kaahumanu i Oahu nei, nolaila, makena oia a hiki i ke alo o Kamehameha, a lohe o Kamehameha kena aku la ia e kii e pepehi ia Malaihi, pela i make ai ia mau alii.

OF MAKAIOULU. NO MAKAIOULU.

Makaioulu was one of Kamehameha’s celebrated warriors in the war between Oahu and Kamehameha, at Nuuanu. Kaalamakaoikuwa was the warrior of Oahu, and resided at Luahenewai, Waikiki-kai. Makaioulu with a companion warrior, Naaimokuokama by name, came and met Kaalamakaoikuwa. Instantly Makaioulu was seized and held prisoner, while Naaimokuokama ran away. And while he was running, Makaioulu called after him: “Do you run away and leave me?” When Naaimokuokama heard this he stopped. Makaioulu then said: “Hurl that spear that you hold in your hand straight to my navel.” Naaimokuokama did so, and at the same time that he did, Makaioulu dodged to one side, the spear striking Kaalamakaoikuwa and killing him. Makaioulu escaped, and they went thence to Puowaina. Oia kekahi koa kaulana o Kamehameha, i ke kaua ana Oahu nei me Kamehameha ma Nuuanu. O Kaalamakaoikuwa ko Oahu nei koa, e noho ana ia ma Luahenewai, ma Waikiki kai. Hele maila o Makaioulu me kona hoahele, he koa no, o Naaimokuokama, a halawai laua me Kaalamakaoikuwa, ia wa, hopu ia maila o Makaioulu a paa, holo o Naaimokuokama. Ia Naaimokuokama e holo ana, kahea mai o Makaioulu: “O ka holo ka kau, haalele oe ia’u?” ia kahea ana, ku o Naaimokuokama. Olelo aku o Makaioulu, “O ko ihe e paa ala i ko lima, pahu oe a pololei i ku’u piko.” Ia wa, pahu o Naaimokuokama i kana ihe. Ma keia pahu ana, e alo ae ana o Makaioulu loaa o Kaalamakaoikuwa i ka ihe, a ku ihola, a make loa, pakele aku la o Makaioulu, a hele aku la laua mai laila aku, a hiki ma Puowaina.

Here were ten soldiers, who when they saw the two, pointed their ten spears at them at the same time. And while they were doing this, Makaioulu turned rearward and said to his companion: “Say, if they hurl their spears to my front, you stand sideways; and if they hurl at my side you stand at my right. Do not wink or you will be hit.” Makaioulu then faced about and went forward. And when he came near to the ten men they hurled spears at him. He dodged and the spears missed him. As their spears missed him, Makaioulu made a sweep with his war club which caught six men, four escaping. Ilaila e noho ana he umi koa, ike maila lakou ia laua, hou like maila lakou i na ihe he umi. Ia lakou e hou ana, huli ae la o Makaioulu i hope, a olelo aku i kona kokoolua: “E! hou lakou la i ku’u alo, kunihi oe; i hou lakou i ku’u aoao, ma ka akau oe o’u e ku ai, mai imo oe o ku oe.” Alaila, huli aku la o Makaioulu hele imua, a hiki ia io lakou la he umi, ia lakou e hou ana, alo ae la o Makaioulu hala, a hala ka lakou ihe, e huelepo iho ana o Makaioulu i kana laau palau, loaa eono kanaka, pakele aku eha.

They went thence to Niuhelewai where Kupaka was stopping. He was a celebrated warrior of Kahahana, the great chief of Oahu, before the reign of Kalaikupule. When the two arrived at the place, Kupaka made a lunge with his spear at Makaioulu without result; Makaioulu, however, had a narrow escape from death, because he had his club in his left hand. Kupaka was, however, killed by Makaioulu. Malaila aku laua o ka hele ana a hiki i Niuhelewai, e noho ana o Kupaka ilaila, he koa kaulana no Kahahana, ke ’lii nui Oahu nei mamua aku o Kalaikupule. A hiki laua ilaila, hou maila ia ia Makaioulu i kana ihe, aole i ku, aka, pakele nae o Makaioulu mai make, no ka mea, ma ka lima hema kana laau. A make ihola o Kupaka ia Makaioulu.

The two continued on to Kalauao, at Ewa, where they met with a large number of warriors who surrounded Makaioulu. He considered a way for his escape from the hands of these people, and at last found it. He said to them: “If you all were to fight me, it will be to your shame. The best way is that one of you engage me, that is right; but if you mob me you will be ashamed, because I am only one.” They consented and stood up one by one. By so doing they were all killed by Makaioulu. Hele aku la laua a hiki ma Kalauao i Ewa, ilaila i halawai ai laua me ka poe koa he nui loa, a puni o Makaioulu, alaila, noonoo ihola ia i mea nona e pakele ai i loko o ka lima o ka lehulehu, a loaa ihola.

OF MAKOA. NO MAKOA.

Makoa was a very fast runner in the days of Kamehameha I, and was far-famed, having no equal. Kamehameha was once sojourning at the sea beach at Kawaihae. From there to Hilo, at Waiakea, is a very great distance, interspersed with rough road, gulches and deep ravines. The distance is about eighty miles, going and coming. He kukini mama loa ia i loko o ko Kamehameha I mau la, ua kaulana loa ia, aohe ona lua. Ia Kamehameha e noho ana ma kahakai o Kawaihae, malaila aku a hiki i Hilo ma Waiakea, he loihi loa, he ino, he kahawai, he alu poopoo. Ua like ka loihi me na mile he kanawalu, mai ka hele ana a ka hoi ana.

When Kamehameha was about to eat his breakfast and the awa was being chewed it was found that there was no accompanying dish for the drinking of the awa; that was the time for Makoa to run to Hilo to get mullet from the pond of Waiakea, on the boundary adjoining Puna. As soon as he received the mullet Makoa returned to Kamehameha, arriving with the fish still quivering, not dead. Then Kamehameha drank his awa down followed by eating the mullet to remove the bitter taste of the awa. The return of Makoa was yet in the morning time, not at noon. The distance to be traveled at the present time would take four days, going quickly and back, without baggage, but with some difficulties, stiffness and soreness. I ka wa e ai ai ka aina kakahiaka o Kamehameha, a mama ka awa, aohe pupu e inu pu ai me ka awa, alaila, o ka nanawa ia o Makoa e holo ai i Hilo i ka anae o ka loko o Waiakea, aia ma ka palena e pili la me Puna. A loaa ka anae, hoi maila o Makoa a hiki imua o Kamehameha, me ka kapalili no o ka ia; aole i make. Ia wa inu o Kamehameha i ka awa a pupu i ka anae, no ka muemue o ka awa. O keia hoi ana mai o Makoa, eia no i ka manawa kakahiaka, aole i ke awakea. O ka lohi oia wahi ke hele ia i keia wa, ua like me na la eha, ke hele mama loa me ka ukana ole, a hoi mai, aka pilikia no nae, mauluulu loa, me ka eha.

OF KANEAKAEHU. KANEAKAEHU.

Kaneakaehu was one of the fastest runners in the days of Kamehameha. He could run from Kailua, in North Kona, to Waiakea, in Hilo, in a very short time. The distance from Kailua to Hilo is about one hundred miles, going and coming, as there were three divisions of land to be traversed, namely, Kohala, Hamakua and Hilo, and the same on the return. Only three divisions, but they abounded in rocks, and very rough. The road was very crooked and the precipices very steep and craggy. Oia kekahi kukini mama loa i ko Kamehameha mau la. Ua hiki ia ia ke holo mai Kailua, ma Kona akau a hiki i Waiakea ma Hilo, no ka manawa pokole loa. O ka loihi mai Kona a Hilo ua like me haneli mile, mai ka hele ana a ka hoi ana, no ka mea, ekolu moku e hele ai, o Kohala, o Hamakua, o Hilo, a pela no ka hoi ana mai ekolu no moku, he nui no ke a, a me ke ino, he kekee loa ke alanui e hele ai, a he mau pali hohonu awaawaa loa.

It was habitual with Kamehameha that when it was time to have his meal, the fish, pond-mullet, was to be sent for in Waiakea, Hilo, either in the morning or in the evening; and when the meal was ready and the awa chewed, then Kaneakaehu started to get the fish. And when he got them, he returned and placed the fish, still alive and quivering, on Kamehameha’s plate, which fish Kamehameha ate. That was the speed of Kaneakaehu mentioned in this writing as witnessed by people of old and known to the young people of today. He mea mau ia Kamehameha aia a hiki i kona wa e ai ai, alaila, kii i ia i Waiakea ma Hilo, oia ka anae loko. Ina i ke kakahiaka, ina i ke ahiahi, a makaukau ka ai, a me ka awa i ka mama, alaila, holo o Kaneakaehu i ka ia, a loaa ka ia, hoi maila meia kapalili ola no a luna o ke pa, a Kamehameha ai ihola. Oia ke ano a me ko Kaneakaehu mama i olelo ia ma keia kakau ana, elike me ka ike o ka poe mua a me ka lohe o ka poe hou a hiki i keia la.

OF KELIIMALOLO. KELIIMALOLO.

Oia kehaki kukini mama loa o Maui, i ka wa o Kahekili ke ’lii. O Hana, i Maui, ka aina hanau o Keliimalolo, a haalele ia ia Hana, holo aku la ia me kona mau hoa holo, a pae ma Kapakai, i Kohala, Hawaii. Ia lakou i pae ai ma Kapakai, haalele ihola o Keliimalolo i ka waa aole i hapai, hele aku la ia ma kahakai a hiki i Kawaihae, a Puako, a Kaniku. Malaila aku a Kiholo, a Mahaiula, Kaelehuluhulu, Kailua, Holualoa, Kahaluu, Keauhou, Kaawaloa. A Kaawaloa, nalowale ke alanui, no ka mea, ua komo ke alanui maloko o ke kai, he wahi hulaana ia a hiki i keia la, waiho aku la o Keliimalolo i na punako ana elua ilaila, a hoi maila.

On arriving at Kapakai, in Kohala, where their canoes were beached, their baggage was not yet taken to their friends’ house, and the canoes were not covered; his companions had not even washed the sea-salt of the voyage. Ma keia hoi ana a Keliimalolo a hiki Kapakai, ma Kohala, kahi o na waa o lakou e kau ana, aole i pau na ukana i ka hoihoi i ka hale kamaaina, aole hoi i paa na waa i ka uhi, aole hoi i auau ke kai o ka holo ana mai.

His companions then inquired: “Where have you been, Keliimalolo?” Keliimalolo replied: “I went along that direction to a sandy landing away inland, with water near by; there was a temple (heiau) on a hill. From thence to a coconut grove at an open place, where a salt works’ implements were piled up.” Ninau mai la kona poe hoa holo: “Mahea aku nei oe e Keliimalolo?” I aku o Keliimalolo: “Maanei aku nei au, a ke awa one i loko loa, e lana ala ka wai, he heiau ko ka puu, malaila aku a ka ulu niu i waho e ku ana, a e ahu ana ka hoohaha paakai ana.”

While Keliimalolo was relating his tale, the folks declared: “You are a lying man. The sandy landing is Kawaihae, to which belongs the temple on the hill of Puukohola. Mailekini was the name of the heiau. How could you get there? You have just gone and returned this early morning; how could you get there and return? It takes two days to go over, and on the fourth day arrive here again.” Ia Keliimalolo e olelo ana, i mai kamaaina: “Kanaka wahahee oe, o Kawaihae ke awa one, nona ka heiau iluna o ka puu o Puukohola, o Mailekini ka inoa. Pehea la oe e hiki ai ilaila, o kau hele ana aku la noia a hoi maila no oe i kakahiaka nui, pehea oe e hiki ai ilaila a hoi no, elua la e hele ai, a i ka ha o ka la hoi a hiki i anei.”

“When I passed the coconut grove, I continued past several alkali plains, and then came to the black volcanic rocks; from there to a sandy stretch with a pond on the upper side. When I passed this I continued on on the volcanic rocks until I came to where kou trees were growing, and a patch of dry sand; from there to a sharp-pointed cape; and I went till I came to where the kou and the coconut were growing. Further on I came to a very large coconut grove, and when I passed this I came upon a bay running far inland. Then the road was lost. There I left my two joints of sugar-cane, and returned and have just arrived.” “A hala ka uluniu ia’u, hele aku la au he mau alialia a hiki i ke a uliuli, malaila aku a ke one loa e waiho ana, he loko mauka. A hala ia, hele aku wau he a no ia wahi, a hiki aku i ke kou e ulu ana, a me ke one maloo, malaila aku a ka lae oioi i waho, pela no ku’u hele ana a hiki i ka niu a me ke kou e ulu ana. Ma ia hele ana aku a’u hiki au he ulu niu nui loa, e ponaha ana, a hala ia, hele aku wau a ke kaikuono i loko loa, alaila, nalowale ke alanui, alaila, waiho au ia’u punako elua, a hoi maila au a hiki ihola.”

By this narration the folks of Kapakai acknowledged its truth, as the places named were correct, the alkali plains being Kalahuipuaa; the rocky land, Kaniku; the sandy stretch and pond were Kiholo; the kou was Mahaiula; the dry sandy patch was Kaelehuluhulu; the long cape, Keahole; Kailua, the kou and coconut; Kahaluu, the coconut grove, and Kaawaloa the bay. Ma keia mau olelo a pau loa, he oiaio wahi a na kamaaina o Kapakai, he mau aina wale no ia. O ka aina aliali, o Kalahuipuaa, o ka aina a a, o Kaniku, o ka one a me ka loko o Kiholo, o ke kou, o Mahaiula, o ke one o Kaelehuluhulu, ka lae loa, o Keahole, o Kailua ke kou me ka niu, o Kahaluu ka ulu niu, o Kaawaloa ke kaikuono.

The course of Keliimalolo the folks acknowledged to be true, but his reaching these places was a wonder to them, and they doubted that he did so on account of the shortness of time taken to travel it. Therefore they disputed, and the dispute being at intense heat, they made a wager. And when the stakes were up, inquirers went to the places that Keliimalolo had gone over, and when they came to Kawaihae, the people of the place acknowledged that they had seen the runner going along the beach in the early morning. Thus they went questioning along all the sea beaches until they came to Kaawaloa. There they found the two joints of sugar-cane that Keliimalolo had left. Then they found that all the words of Keliimalolo were true, and that they all had lost their wagers to him. Ma keia mau olelo a Keliimalolo ua ae na kamaaina he oiaio, a o ka hiki ole o Keliimalolo ua haohao lakou me ka hoole, aole i hiki, no ka pokole o ka manawa hele, nolaila, hoopaapaa lakou a hoole, a no ka ikaika loa o ka hoopaapaa ana, pili ihola lakou, a mau na pili. Alaila, holo aku la ka poe ninau ma kahi a Keliimalolo i hele ai a hiki i Kawaihae, ae maila ko laila poe, ua ike i ke kanaka mama e hele ana ma kahakai i ke kakahiaka nui. Pela no lakou i hele ninau ai ma na kahakai a pau loa, a hiki i Kaawaloa, alaila, loaa na puna ko elua a Keliimalolo i waiho ai. Alaila, maopopo ia lakou, he oiaio na olelo a pau loa a Keliimalolo, a ua pau loa lakou i ke eo ia Keliimalolo.

The distance traveled in going and coming, was about ninety miles. It is a very bad place to this day; full of rocks; tortuous up and down; zigzagging in and out, up and down; a very long cape in some places, a hot burning sun in another place. And if people were traveling in their natural speed without baggage, it would take about one week to go and return. But to Keliimalolo, it was only the time of a breakfast, not a whole day, nor days. After this Keliimalolo, with his wife and his sisters dwelt up in Keolewa, a place in Kohala adjoining the hill of Puuhue. O ka loihi ma keia hele ana a me ka hoi ana mai, ua hiki na mile i ke kanaiwa mai ka hele ana a me ka hoi ana. A he wahi ino loa no hoi a hiki i keia la, he a a loa, he kekee iluna ilalo, he aanapuu, iloko i waho, iluna ilalo, he lae oi loa ma ke kau wahi, a he one hohonu loa ma kau wahi, he la enaena haoa loa ma kau wahi.

Mahope o keia mau hana, noho ihola o Keliimalolo me kana wahine a me kona mau kaikuahine i uka o Keolewa, aia no ia wahi ma Kohala e pili la me ka puu o Puuhue.

While Keliimalolo was residing there, he afterwards, together with his wife and a sister went down to Koaie to fish for hinalea. They were about ready to go home in the evening, but a shower was coming windward which frightened his wife and sister. He therefore grabbed hold of his sister in one hand and his wife in the other, and ran with great speed and entered their dwelling house at Keolewa. Then the rain fell. The distance from the beach at Koaie to Keolewa was five miles. Ia Keliimalolo e noho ana ilaila, a mahope, iho me ka wahine a me kona kaikuahine i kai o Koaie i ka lawaia, hooluuluu hinalea, a ahiahi napoo ka la, alaila, hoi i uka.

O ka loihi mai kahakai o Koaie a hiki i Keolewa, elima mile.

OF KAMOEAU. NO KAMOEAU.

Kamoeau was an adept at guessing and at repartee; he knew the character of a man by his voice; a rooster by his crowing in the day or night; a woman by the ringing sound of her kapa block; and the birds by their singing.

If Kamoeau happened to be going on the road and heard the kapa block ringing, if the ringing be sharp it denoted her to be an unsightly woman; if the ringing be hollow, she had some personal defects; if a prolonged ringing, she was comely. Kamoeau never failed to characterize this or that woman by hearing alone, and not by sight. If a rooster crowed he could tell its color and shape according to its voice. If a black rooster, the voice was hollow and of sudden termination; if light-colored, the crowing was strong at the beginning and ended in broken accents; if dark red, the crowing at first was sharp and then became deep-toned; and if the rooster be mottled (auha), the voice would be harsh at the start and ended weakly. Ina e hele o Kamoeau ma ke alaloa, a lohe oia i ka ie kuku e kani ana, ina e kani winiwini ka ie, he wahine inoino, ina i kani papa, he wahine kina ma ke kino, ina i kani kolea mai ka ie, he wahine maikai. Aole e nalo na ouli kela wahine keia wahine, ma ko Kamoeau hoolohe ana, me kona ike maka ole. Ina e kani ka moa, e hiki no ia ia ke koho i ke ano a me ke kino o ka moa, mamuli o ka leo. Ina he moa alae, he pa ka leo a poha wale aku, ina he uakea, he oili ka leo ahelelei ka pau ana, ina he ulahiwa ka moa, he winiwini ka leo a halulu aku, ina he auha ka moa, he palale ka leo a haule iho nawaliwali.

Kamoeau could lie under water from morning until noon, and then emerge therefrom. It is therefore a most extraordinary thing to think of, and the power and knowledge, the accuracy of the guessing, if it were true, was something supernatural, and was only transmitted by the deity to Kamoeau. Ua hiki ia Kamoeau ke moe iloko o ka wai, mai ke kakahiaka a awakea, alaila, ala mai, nolaila, he mea kupanaha loa ia ma ka noonoo ana iho, a he ano akua wale no ka mana a me ka ike, ka pololei o ke koho ana, ina he oiaio keia alaila, mai ke ’kua mai no ia mea ia Kamoeau.

OF PAHIA. NO PAHIA.

No Hilo o Pahia, he kanaka hoopono me ka pololei loa oia, aole kekee a me ka lauwili, aole hooi a hoemi ihope elike me kekahi poe e ae. Ia ia e noho ana i Hilo a hele ma Kohala nei, ina i hookipa ia o Pahia e ke kamaaina, he aikane paha, he wahine hoowahine paha, he mau hoahanau paha, he mau makua paha. Ina he puaa ka mea kalua, a i ole he moa paha, he palahu paha, he ia paha, he paakai paha, he luau paha, he kukui inamona paha, he limu paha, a pela aku, alaila, pela no o Pahia e hana ai, ina he puaa kai kalua ia nana, alaila, e olelo o Pahia penei: “Aia no io wahi a Pahia.” Eia ke ano oia olelo: he puaa kai kalua ia nana, a he puaa no hoi ka Pahia e kalua ai nana ke hiki i ko Pahia wahi, a ina he luau kai hanai ia ia Pahia, alaila, he luau no ka Pahia e haawi mai ai nana ke hiki i ko Pahia wahi. A ina he kukui inamona ke haawi ia Pahia, a he kukui no hoi ka Pahia e haawi mai ai, pela ma na mea a pau loa.

OF KAWAAIKI. NO KAWAAIKI.

Kawaaiki was noted for his dexterity in cliff climbing. He could climb the most abrupt precipice. Kawaaiki was a resident of Molokai, and the cliffs that he climbed in Molokai were those at Pelekunu. These cliffs are very precipitous and very high, measuring about two hundred fathoms from the base to their crest. The top of the cliffs careened outwards, making a curve inwards at the base. Just a little below the summit of the cliffs, there stood a palm tree, and this was the object that allured Kawaaiki to climb that precipice. Ua kaulana loa ia kanaka no ka mama i ka pii pali. Ua hiki ia ia ke pii ma ka pali nihinihi loa. No Molokai o Kawaaiki, o kana pali i pii ai o Molokai, o Pelekunu. Oia pali, he nihinihi loa, he pali kiekie loa, o kona loihi ua hiki paha elua haneli anana kona kiekie mai lalo a luna. A o luna o ka welau o kai pali, ua lou mai i waho me ka halehale o loko. Aia hoi i ka welau o ka pali malalo iki iho, he kumu loulu ke ku ana ilaila, a oia ke kumu i pii ai o Kawaaiki i luna o ua pali la.

Ma keia pii ana a Kawaaiki, ua paapu o lalo o ke kai i na waa, no ka mea, ua pii pololei ka pali mai ke kai a luna loa. O kahi e paa ai o Kawaaiki i ka pali, o ka auwae, o na maiuu wawae me na maiuu lima, pela kona pii ana a hiki i ke kumu o ka loulu. Aia ma kahi o ka loulu e ulu ana, he ana, a e noho ana ilaila kekahi kupua o ka wa kahiko, oia o Koloea. I ka hiki ana o Kawaaiki i ka waha o ke ana, paa aku la kona auwae i ka waha o ke ana, o ke kino a me na lima lewalewa ilalo, ia wa lalau aela ia i ke kumu o ka loulu a pii aela iluna. A hiki ia iluna, nana aku la ia ia Koloea, he kino manu, he poo kanaka, he mau paha, lalau aku la ia i ka loulu a ooki ihola, a kiola ilalo. A pau ka loulu i ke oki, hoi maila ia i lalo nei.

OF KAOHELE. NO KAOHELE.

Kaohele was most renowned for bravery and his great speed at running; he was without an equal. He belonged to Molokai. During the reign of Kahekili as king of Maui, he (Kahekili) came to make war upon Molokai. In this war the king and people of Molokai were defeated, therefore certain warriors pursued Kaohele, and if caught were to kill him. While they were pursuing him, he showed wonderful speed, running and jumping, running and jumping. Therefore the pursuers were stationed in relays. As for instance: one at Honolulu, one at Kulaokahua, and one at Waikiki. If the first pursuer chasing after Kaohele did not catch him, then the next would continue the pursuit, and so on; hence the utterance: “Combine the speed in order to catch Kaohele.” Ua kaulana loa o Kaohele i ke koa a me ka mama loa i ka holo ana, aohe ona lua elike ai. No Molokai o Kaohele, i ka wa e noho ana o Kahekili he ’lii no Maui, holo maila ia e kaua ia Molokai. Ma ia kaua ana, ua pio ko Molokai alii a me na kanaka, nolaila, alualu na koa ia Kaohele a loaa, alaila pepehi. Ia lakou e alualu ana ia Kaohele, he mea e kona mama loa, o ka holo o ka lele, o ka holo o ka lele, nolaila, kukulu lalani ia na kukini. Penei ke ano: hookahi i Honolulu nei, hookahi i Kulaokahua, hookahi i Waikiki i holo keia kukini e alualu ia Kaohele, a i loaa ole, alaila, alualu aku ana ia kukini, a pela aku no, nolaila, keia olelo: “E kui ka mama i loaa o Kaohele.”
