Volume 5 / Part 1 — PREFACE. (continued 2)

O little Kamalama, my younger brother, My younger brother, my younger brother! E Kamalama iki kuu pokii, Kuu pokii e, kuu pokii.

Kamalama replied: “Yes.” Kawelo then said to him: “Chase after our relative, unloose his loin cloth, scratch his side and let him go.” When Kamalama heard this, he chased and caught up with Kaehuikiawakea, and then called out: “You are dead! You are dead!! I am going to kill you, Kaehuikiawakea!!!” When Kaehuikiawakea heard this, he was so afraid that he was almost unable to run any more. On his reaching the top of the hill, Kamalama reached out and took his loin cloth, scratched his side and allowed him to go. O mai la o Kamalama: “O.” I aku o Kawelo: “E alualu aku oe i kahi pokii o kaua, a wehe mai oe i kahi malo, a wawau aku oe ma ka aoao, a hookuu aku.” A lohe o Kamalama, alualu aku la ia, a loaa o Kaehuikiawakea, alaila, kahea aku la: “A make! A make!! A make oe e Kaehuikiawakea!!!” Ma keia mau leo puiwa a Kamalama, ua makau loa o Kaehuikiawakea, a kokoke loa e pau kona mama. A hiki o Kaehuikiawakea i luna o ka puu o Nounou, lalau aku la o Kamalama, kaili ae la i ka malo, a wawau mai la i ka aoao, a hookuu aku la. A hiki o Kaehuikiawakea i mua o Aikanaka, huli iho la i lalo kona alo. Ninau mai la o Aikanaka, penei: “A hua a pane! A pane ka waha, he hoolono ko onei.”

When Kaehuikiawakea arrived in the presence of Aikanaka, he fell face down. Aikanaka then asked him: “Speak the word. Open your mouth and speak the word, I am listening.” Kaehuikiawakea then said: “We have all been slain. There are no men left; all are dead.” Aikanaka then asked: “Whose double canoe is it?” “When it was in the sea, we were told that it belonged to Kamalama; but when it landed, the large bundle which we saw on the canoe turned out to be Kawelo.” I mai o Kaehuikiawakea: “Ua pau loa kakou, aohe kanaka i koe, ua pau loa i ka make.” Ninau aku o Aikanaka: “Owai na waa?” “O Kamalama ka hai mua ana mai i kai, i ka pae ana mai i uka, o Kawelo ka keia ope nui e waiho nei.”

KAIHUPEPENUIAMOUO AND MUNO. KAIHUPEPENUIAMOUO A ME MUNO.

These two men were warriors belonging to Aikanaka, and they were on the Nounou hill with him. While Kaehuikiawakea was speaking to Aikanaka, Kaihupepenuiamouo and Muno stood up and proceeded down the hill with their eight hundred men. Upon their arrival at the bottom of the hill, they were met by Kamalama and his men, and, in a very short time, they were all killed with the exception of Kaehuikiawakea, who returned to the top of the hill and again informed Aikanaka of the results, saying, “All the men are slain and I alone am left. That cannot be called a battle; it is like real fire. Whenever Kamalama throws his spear, it will go through about ten men before it stops.” He mau koa keia no Aikanaka, i luna o ka puu o Nounou kahi i noho ai. Ia Kaehuikiawakea e olelo ana ia Aikanaka, ku ae la o Kaihupepenuiamouo a me Muno, a iho aku la me ko laua mau lau kanaka elua. A hiki lakou i lalo, kaua iho la me Kamalama, a pau loa iho la lakou i ka make ia Kamalama ma. A koe aku la o Kaehuikiawakea, hoi aku la ia a luna o ka puu o Nounou, olelo aku la ia ia Aikanaka: “Ua pau loa na kanaka i ka make, a owau wale no koe. Aohe no kela he kaua o lalo, he ahi maoli no. Ina e hou mai o Kamalama i ka ihe ana, he umi kanaka e ku i ka pahu hookahi ana, alaila maalili ka ihe.”

WALAHEEIKIO AND MOOMOOIKIO. WALAHEEIKIO A ME MOOMOOIKIO.

While Kaehuikiawakea was relating the outcome of the battle to Aikanaka, these two men stood up and after boasting of what they were going to do to Kamalama, they proceeded down the hill with their four hundred men. At the bottom of the hill, they were met by Kamalama, Kaeleha and Kalaumeki when the fighting began. These two men, Walaheeikio and Moomooikio, were very powerful men and were very skilful in the use of the spear. They could hit a grass blade, an ant, a fly and even a flea. In this battle their men in a short time were all slain, and the two were left alone. They however continued on the fight with Kamalama. In this fight, Kaeleha’s hand was struck by a blow from a club and he withdrew, leaving Kamalama and Kalaumeki to continue the conflict. Soon after Kaeleha withdrew Kamalama also withdrew, and in fact, he narrowly escaped being slain by the two men. When Kawelo saw that Kamalama was almost spent and how Kalaumeki bravely continued with the fight, he chanted as follows: Ia Kaehuikiawakea e olelo ana ia Aikanaka, ku mai la keia mau koa elua a liki i ke kaua me Kamalama. Iho aku la laua me ko laua mau kanaka, hookahi lau. Kaua iho la lakou, me Kamalama, Kaeleha, Kalaumeki, he mau kanaka ikaika loa laua ma ke kaua ana. He pololei ka laua ihe ke o, aole e hala, he kuku ka ihe, he ku ka puamauu, ka naonao, ka nalo, ka ukulele. Ma keia kaua ana, ua pau loa na kanaka i ka make, a koe no ua mau wahi koa nei, a hoomau no laua i ke kaua me Kamalama. Ma keia kaua ana, ua pa ka lima o Kaeleha i ka laau, a emi hope mai la, a hoomau aku la o Kamalama me Kalaumeki i ke kaua, a mahope emi mai la o Kamalama, a aneane no e make, i na wahi koa. A ike o Kawelo i ka nawaliwali o Kamalama, a i ke koa o Kalaumeki alaila, paha mai la o Kawelo, penei:

When Kalaumeki is passed, The sea becomes calm, the waves become still, The canoes are floating in the line of surf. The hill of Kamae is become hid By the dust from the feet. He is beaten by the sea, The great soldier, Kamalama. Ia hookaa o Kalaumeki i hope, Pohu ke kai, malino ke au, Hoolana ka waa i ke po’i, Nalo koli’a ka puu o Kamae, I ke ehu o na wawae, Ku aku la i ke kai, O ua koa nui nei, o Kamalama.

When Kamalama heard this chant by Kawelo, he became very angry and he returned. When Kanewahineikiaoha saw Kamalama returning, she said to Kawelo: “Say, I think your younger brother is angry with you, for there he is coming back.” When Kawelo saw this, he chanted as follows: A lohe o Kamalama i keia paha a Kawelo, huhu iho la o Kamalama, a hoi aku la. Ike mai la o Kanewahineikiaoha i ka hoi ana o Kamalama, olelo aku la ia ia Kawelo: “E, ua huhu paha ko kaikaina ia oe, ei’ aku la ke hoi mai la.” A ike o Kawelo, paha aku la ia penei:

The rain cloud of Koolau is making its appearance. It appears from Nihoa, From the lower end of Lehua. It has rained and the valleys are wet. Wet are my lehuas with the makoa rain. The water is running, it is flooding the lowlands, The waters from the uplands are raging, For the sound from the drift logs is heard. It is caused by my favorite younger brother, The great soldier, Kamalama. Say, my younger brother Kamalama, Come back and partake of some food; Perchance it has something to do with thy weakness. Ea mai ana ke ao ua o Koolau, Ea mai ana ma Nihoa, Ma ka mole mai o Lehua, Ua iho la pulu ke kahawai, Pulu a’u lehua i ka makoa, Kahe ka wai ke hanini nei i kai, He mea e nei wai nui o uka. Ke o nei ka leo o ka pihaa, Na kuu kaikaina punahele Na ke koa nui, o Kamalama, E Kamalama kuu pokii e, Hoi mai, kamau lia. Nolaila paha ka ikaika ole.

A lohe o Kamalama i keia paha a Kawelo, huli aku la ia e kaua hou, a loaa aku la o Kalaumeki, kaua iho la lakou, a hee o Kamalama ma, a no keia hee ana, ua hiki ke kaua i ke alo o Kawelo. A hiki o Walaheeikio i mua o Kawelo, paha aku la o Kawelo, penei:

Why not take my sister as your wife, The ward of Malaiakalani, Take her as your wife? Aia hoi ha kau wahine o kuu kaikuahine, O ka hanai a Malaiakalani, O kau wahine ia, e—a?

Walaheeikio then refused to accept the offer made by Kawelo, saying: “It is not for you to present the warrior with a wife. We are going after you until we kill you; when you shall be offered by Aikanaka upon the altar for a sacrifice. Then the whole of Kauai shall be ours, and we will eat the cooked taro.” Kawelo then chanted as follows: Hoole mai la o Walaheeikio ia Kawelo: “Aole paha nau e haawi mai ka wahine a ke koa; o oe no ka makou a make ae, hai no o Aikanaka ia oe i luna o ka lele, puni no o Kauai nei ia makou, ai no i kalo moa.” Alaila, paha hou aku la o Kawelo, penei:

Why not break the point of your spear then And throw it at Kawelo? E o la hoi e uhai ka maka o ko ihe, Alaila, pahu mai ia Kawelo.

Walaheeikio replied: “The point of my spear shall not be broken by you; because you stand there as big as the end of a house, this spear will not miss when I throw it at you.” Kawelo then chanted back the following: I aku o Walaheeikio: “Aole paha e uhai ka maka o ka’u ihe ia oe, no ka mea, o oe no e ku mai nei, o ka hakala hale, ua like, aole e hala keia ihe ia oe ke pahu aku.” Alaila, paha hou o Kawelo, penei:

Why don’t you throw your spear at me then?

When I shall let it pass at the end of my loin cloth,

Where it will glance to the great earth.

Then when it is reported to Aikanaka,

Under whom you are living in Kauai,

E o la hoi e hou mai ua ihe au,

A kai ae i ka pola o ka malo,

A ku aku i ka lepo nui,

Hoi aku a lohe o Aikanaka,

Kahi i noho ai ia Kauai nei,

He mai nui nou ka hilahila.

When the man heard this, he threw his spear at Kawelo. When Kawelo saw the spear coming, he struck it with his hand making it touch the end of his loin cloth, then it glanced to the earth, missing Kawelo. This so shamed the man that he immediately turned and started to run away. At this attempt on the part of Walaheeikio to escape, Kawelo struck him with his war club, Kuikaa, killing him instantly. A lohe ua wahi kanaka nei, hou mai la ia i kana ihe, a ike o Kawelo, hoaka ae la ia i ka ihe i ka pola o ka malo, a ku aku la ka ihe i ka lepo, aole ia Kawelo, hilahila iho la, a holo aku la. Ma keia holo ana o Walaheeikio, mai ke alo aku o Kawelo, hahau aku la o Kawelo i kana laau ia Kuikaa, a make iho la o Walaheeikio.

Make kela koa, koe o Moomooikio, alaila, paha aku o Kawelo, penei:

Say, Moomooikio, Here, take my wife and let her be your wife, Kanewahineikiaoha. Will you accept her as your wife? E Moomooikio—e, Eia kau wahine o kuu wahine, O Kanewahineikiaoha, O kau wahine ia, e—a?

[Here the narrative is the same as that of the other warrior, that of Walaheeikio, therefore that part is omitted.] [Maanei ua like na olelo ana me ko kela koa, me ko Walaheeikio, nolaila, e waiho i ke kakau ana maanei.]

After the death of Walaheeikio and Moomooikio by Kawelo, Kaehuikiawakea ran off to the top of the Nounou hill and again informed Aikanaka of the death of the two warriors. When Aikanaka heard this, he said: “At last, the cold feeling has entered me, for the house that has sheltered me is broken.” A make iho la o Walaheeikio a me Moomooikio ia Kawelo holo aku la o Kaehuikiawakea a hiki i luna o ka puu o Nounou, olelo aku la ia Aikanaka, i ka make o keia mau koa elua. I mai la o Aikanaka: “Akahi a komo ke anu ia’u, ua naha aku la ka hale e malu ai.”

CHAPTER V. Relating to Kahakaloa.—His Death by Kawelo. MOKUNA V. No Kahakaloa.—Kona Make ana ma o Kawelo Ala.

While Kaehuikiawakea was speaking with Aikanaka, the warrior Kahakaloa, stood up and chanted his boast that Kawelo will never escape him; continuing, he said: “When did Kawelo ever learn the arts of warfare? While he was here living with us before he sailed for Oahu, where he married the daughter of Kalonaikahailaau, he knew nothing about fighting. If the strokes of the war club learned by him are those of his father-in-law, then he will never escape me, because I have fought against his father-in-law and our clubs only tapped one another; he was not killed and I was not killed.” When he finished boasting, he proceeded on down the hill with two hundred men, and when they reached the bottom, the fighting began. Kamalama then slew all the men with the exception of Kahakaloa whom he did not tackle. When Kawelo saw Kahakaloa, he chanted as follows: Ia Kaehuikiawakea e olelo ana ia Aikanaka, ku mai la keia koa o Kahakaloa a paha, e olelo ana, aole e pakele o Kawelo ia ia. Wahi a Kahakaloa: “I nahea ka Kawelo ao ana i ke koa, a kakou i noho iho nei a holo aku nei i Oahu, a moe aku la i ke kaikamahine a Kalonaikahailaau; ina o kana hauna laau a na ka makuahunowai ona, aole ia e pakele ia’u. No ka mea, ua kaua no maua me ka makuahunowai ona, ua koele na laau a maua, aohe make, aohe make.” A pau ka olelo ana a Kahakaloa, iho mai la ia me kanaha kanaka elima, a hiki ia i lalo, kaua iho la lakou. Luku mai la o Kamalama i na kanaka a pau loa, a koe o Kahakaloa, ike aku la o Kawelo ia Kahakaloa, paha aku la ia penei:

The haka for the putting up of calabashes;

Perhaps on this day, it shall be done.

O ka-haka-nui, o ka-haka-iki, o ka-haka-loa,

O ka-haka-kau aipu,

Keia la paha e—a?

Kahakaloa then said to Kawelo: “My name was not given me as a place to hang up calabashes. Kahaka, chief of Kauai, is my name.” Soon after this, they both stood up, Kawelo with his war club, Kuikaa, and Kahakaloa with his war club. They both raised their war clubs together. Kahakaloa swung his war club sideways, hitting Kawelo in the middle, staggering him. Kawelo then raised his club with a swirl from the ground, cutting the small toe, the small finger and the tip of the ear off the same side. Kawelo then fell to the ground and laid there. As Kawelo was lying on the ground, Kaehuikiawakea said to Kahakaloa: “Strike him another blow, so as to kill him, for I see his eyes staring at us.” When Kahakaloa heard this, he answered by chanting the following lines: I mai o Kahakaloa ia Kawelo: “Aole paha i olelo ia mai ko’u inoa o Ka-haka-kau-aipu; o Kahaka alii o Kauai nei ko’u inoa.” Ia wa, ku like laua, ku o Kawelo me kana laau o Kuikaa. Ku no hoi o Kahakaloa me kana laau palau, a hoala i na laau palau a laua, kakii mai la o Kahakaloa i kana laau palau, a loaa iho la ka a-a o Kawelo, newa aku la ia. Ia wa, e hue lepo ae ana o Kawelo i kana laau, o Kuikaa, moku kahi manamana iki o ka wawae, ma ia aoao no, moku ka ili manamana iki o ka lima, ma ia aoao hookahi no, moku ka welelau o ka pepeiao. Mahope o laila, haule iho la o Kawelo i lalo, a waiho iho la. A waiho o Kawelo i lalo, olelo aku o Kaehuikiawakea ia Kahakaloa, e hahau hou iho oe i laau hou, i make loa o Kawelo, eia no la ke aa mai nei na maka. A lohe o Kahakaloa i keia mau olelo, pane mai la ia:

He is dead, for it is the blow from the young;

The young makes but one blow to kill,

Thus was Kawelo the great soldier killed.

Ua make he laau na ka ui.

Hookahi no laau a ka ui make,

O iho auanei a hiki i lalo i o Milu,

I aku i hahau alua ia e Kahakaloa.

Make ai ke koa nui o Kawelo.

I aku o Kahakaloa ia Kaehuikiawakea: “E hoi kaua e ai a maona, alaila, iho mai au e hoomake i kuu luahi;” alaila, hoi aku la laua. A hiki laua i luna o ka puu o Nounou, olelo aku la o Kahakaloa: “Ua make o Kawelo ia’u. I hoi mai nei au e ai a maona, iho hou aku e hoomake i kuu luahi.” A lohe o Aikanaka, hoolale ae la ia i kana mau aipuupuu elua, ia Kapinaonuianio, a me Nioiwawalu, elua laua, puholo i ka moa a Kahakaloa. A ike aku la o Aikanaka, ua moku ka manea uuku o ko Kahakaloa wawae, ninau aku la ia: “I aha ia kou manea i moku ai?” I aku la o Kahakaloa: “Ae, moku no ia wahi, he kihikihi aia i waho.” Ninau hou o Aikanaka: “Ko manamana lima iki hoi, i ahaia?” “Ae, moku no ia wahi, he wahi peleleu aia i waho.” “Ko pepeiao?” “Ae, moku no he manamana aia i luna loa.”

After the chicken was cooked, Kahakaloa proceeded to have his meal and he ate thereof until he was satisfied. After finishing the food in the calabash, he took the empty calabash and placed it over his head and started on down the hill. When he reached the bottom, Kamalama saw him and so he informed Kawelo of the fact saying: “Here comes a bald-headed man down the hill; his forehead is awfully shiny.” Kawelo then said to Kamalama: “That is not a bald-headed man, it is Kahakaloa. He went on back to have something to eat, and, after finishing the food that was in the calabash, he has taken the calabash and put it on his head. That is the reason it is so shiny.” A moa ka moa, ai iho la o Kahakaloa a maona, pau ae la ka ai o ka umeke, papale iho la o Kahakaloa i ka umeke i ke poo, a iho aku la. A hiki i lalo, ike mai la o Kamalama, alaila, olelo aku la ia ia Kawelo: “He kanaka ohule, e iho mai nei, hinuhinu launa ole ka lae.” I aku o Kawelo ia Kamalama: “Aole paha ia he ohule, o Kahakaloa, hoi aku la ai a maona, pau ka ai o ka umeke, kau iho la i ka ipu i ke poo, nolaila ka hinuhinu.”

Upon the arrival of Kahakaloa in the presence of Kawelo, he discovered that Kawelo was sitting up. Kaehuikiawakea then said to Kahakaloa: “Kawelo has come to life again, therefore you the soldier will be killed. I cannot be killed, for I am a runner.”

When Kawelo saw Kahakaloa approaching, he stood up and prepared for the conflict. Kahakaloa was also preparing himself and stood on the defensive. Kawelo then raised his club and tapped the forehead of Kahakaloa, and forcing the calabash down over his eyes; before Kahakaloa could uncover his eyes, Kawelo again raised his club Kuikaa and struck Kahakaloa, killing him.

A hiki o Kahakaloa i mua o Kawelo, nana aku la ia ia Kawelo e noho mai ana i luna, olelo mai la o Kaehuikiawakea, ia Kahakaloa: “Ola hou o Kawelo, nolaila, o oe ke make o ke koa, aole au e make ke kukini.” Ku o Kawelo i luna, ku o Kahakaloa i luna, alaila, kiko’u mai la o Kawelo i ka laau, a pa ma ka lae o Kahakaloa, nalowale iho la na maka o Kahakaloa i ka umeke ana e papale ana i ke poo, alaila, hahau hou o Kawelo i kana laau palau, ia Kuikaa, a make loa iho la o Kahakaloa. A make o Kahakaloa, hoi aku la o Kaehuikiawakea i ka puu o Nounou, e hai ia Aikanaka i ka make o Kahakaloa. A hiki i luna, ninau mai la o Aikanaka: “Auhea o Kahakaloa?” “Ua make.” Olelo mai o Aikanaka: “Na wai no la ke ola o ka mea i kau ke alina. I waiho ia mai nei paha a ike au; o ka ke ’lii puaa ka hoi ua moku ka pepeiao.”

CHAPTER VI. Relating to Kauahoa.—Kawelo Fears to Attack Him.—Seeks to Win Him by a Chant.—Kauahoa Replies. MOKUNA VI. Hopohopo o Kawelo no ka Paio ana Iaia.—Imi i Wahi e Lilo mai ai Oia ma ke Mele.—Pane o Kauahoa.

Kauahoa was the most noted of Aikanaka’s warriors in size and stature, and it was this warrior that caused the cold perspiration to ooze out of the body of Kawelo and for a moment fear entered his breast, for Kauahoa was indeed good to look upon and was a grand warrior to behold. O Kauahoa, oia ke koa kaulana o Aikanaka i ka nui a me ke kiekie, a oia hoi ke koa a Kawelo, i li ai ka io i ke anuanu a me ka huihui o ka makau, a ua apo ia mai o Kawelo e na kukuna weliweli o ko Kauahoa kulana ui, a me ke koa. A nolaila, ua kau ka weli.

When Aikanaka was telling of the death of Kahakaloa by Kawelo, Kauahoa heard it, and he took up his war club, called Kahehumakua, a first growth koa tree from Kahihikolo, and proceeded on down the hill. (It is said that this war club, Kahehumakua, was a very large one, for it was nothing else but a tree with its branches and leaves still on; and when carried by Kauahoa, the birds would perch and sing in it.)

Ia Aikanaka e kamailio ana no Kahakaloa i ka make ia Kawelo, lohe aku la o Kauahoa. Iho aku la ia me kana laau palau o Kahehumakua ka inoa, he koa makua ole no Kahihikolo. (Ua olelo ia i loko o keia moolelo he laau nui loa o Kahehumakua, o ke kumu no o ka lau, o na lala, i na e lawe o Kauahoa, kau no ka manu i luna a kani no.) A ike o Kawelo ia Kauahoa e iho mai ana mai ka puu mai o Nounou, nui launa ole, malu ka la ia Kauahoa, no ke kiekie a me ka nui launa ole. A hiki o Kauahoa i mua o Kawelo, ala mai la o Kawelo a hopu aku la i kana laau o Kuikaa, a me ka wahine, o Kanewahineikiaoha, ma ka akau, a o ke kaikaina ma ka hema, o na keiki mahope.

Ma keia ku ana a Kawelo me kana laau o Kuikaa, nona ka loa he umi anana, ua like kona loihi mai ka manea wawae ae o Kauahoa a ka piko i waena, koe ae o luna, me he mea la, he iwakalua anana ke kiekie o Kauahoa. Ma keia ku ana, ua hoopuni ia o Kawelo e ka weliweli o ka makau ia Kauahoa. No ka mea, elua wale no ano laau i loaa ia Kawelo, malalo ae, a maluna iho, aole i loaa ia Kawelo ka laau hikau pea. Nolaila, noonoo iho la o Kawelo i ke kaua e make ai o Kauahoa ia ia, aole nae he loaa, a hopo iho la ia. Ma keia ku ana a Kawelo, ua loihi loa ke ku ana e noonoo, a loaa iho la kona noonoo, e kaua no a make mamuli o ke kaua.

After the fear had disappeared, he began to take pity on his opponent; he remembered of their childhood days and of their lord and king Aikanaka, so he chanted a mele of love, hoping in this way to put the matter of their fighting or not up to Kauahoa. Following is the chant: Hu ae la ke aloha o Kawelo ia Kauahoa, i ko laua wa e noho liilii ana me ko laua kaikuaana haku me Aikanaka. Nolaila, paha aku la ia me ka hoalohaloha aku no nae i ua hoahanau nei, aia hoi i kona manao ke kaua a me ka ole; penei ka paha ana:

Swollen and enlarged is the moss of Hanalei,

Swollen is the moss in the eyes of the pointed clouds.

The hand is uselessly broken in a mock fight between children,

For the main fight is yet to come,

Like the letting down of nets in a deep sea,

Thou art but a mere bud, he is a full grown cock,

For the sea is ceaseless in its beating.

Kauahoa, the pride of Hanalei, is here;

Kamalama, the pride of Kualoa, is risen;

Kawelo, the pride of Waikiki, is risen;

Kaelehapuna, the pride of Ewa, is risen;

Let us then cease fighting and rest in the noon of the day.

Put away the fighting, my brother,

And leave me, your own kindred,

My companion in childhood’s wanderings,

My companion in stringing the lehua blossoms of Waikaee,

Where you and I as boys did string them,

To the top, to the very top,

To the ridgepole of Hanalei.

Arise thou, Hanalei.

Pehu kaha ka limu o Hanalei,

Pehu ka limu i ka maka o ka opua,

Hai hewa ka lima i ke kaua kamalii,

E’i aku ke kaua i ka hope,

Me he ku la na ke kai hohonu,

Me ka hiwahiwa a Kauakahi,

He opuu oe, he kakala kela,

Na ka ole ka hue a ke kai e,

Ea Kauahoa ka ui o Hanalei,

Ala o Kamalama ka ui o Kualoa,

Ala o Kawelo ka ui o Waikiki,

Ala o Kaelehapuna ka ui o Ewa,

Ala o Kalaumeki ka ui o Waianae,

Huhue aku kaua moe i ke awakea,

Kapae ke kaua e ka hoahanau

E waiho ia’u i kou hoahanau

Aole hoi na la o kuu hoike,

Kuu hoa hele o ka wa kamalii,

Hoa kui lehua o Waikaee,

A kaua e kui kane ai,

I lei no ke kaikuaana haku o kaua,

E Kanewahineikiaoha,

Ko pikoi hoolei ia i luna.

I helua, i hele lua,

I kaupoku o Hanalei.

E ala e Hanalei.

As soon as Kanewahineikiaoha heard the order of Kawelo in his chant, to throw up the pikoi, she immediately threw it up, and Kawelo heard the noise of the ball as it entangled in the top of the club. Kawelo then looked up, and, when he saw that the pikoi was tangled, he continued chanting: A lohe o Kanewahineikiaoha i keia paha o Kawelo, o kona manawa ia i hoolei ai i ka pikoi i luna, a lohe ae la o Kawelo i ka nakeke ana o luna, nana ae la ia e lele ana ka pikoi, alaila, paha hou ae la o Kawelo, penei:

Hanalei, the cold land, the wet land, The land where the end is. For Kauahoa, the stalwart youth of Hanalei, is here. Hanalei aina anuanu, aina koekoe, Aina a ka pea i noho ai, Ea Kauahoa ka ui o Hanalei.

Kauahoa replied: “This club will never spare you in the day of battle. You have slain our men so that there are none left; how can you then expect this club to spare you? As it has been your deal, you can see the result; and when it will be my deal, I will see the result.” Olelo mai la o Kauahoa: “Aole e kapae nei laau ia oe, i ka la o ke kaua; ua noke ia mai nei ka hoi makou e oe a pau loa i ka make, a pehea e kapae ai keia laau ia oe? Nau no hoi paha, he mai no hoi kau e nana iho; a na’u aku no hoi, he mai no hoi ka’u e nana iho.”

Ma keia olelo a Kauahoa, ua hoopuni ia o Kawelo i ka makau a me ka weliweli no Kauahoa, aka, hoomanao no nae o Kawelo i ko laua wa kamalii, i ko laua wa e hoolele lupe ana me Kauahoa. Moku ae la ka Kauahoa lupe ia Kawelo, aole nae he huhu aku o Kauahoa ia Kawelo; nolaila, manao no ia e make ana no ia ia. Nolaila, paha hou aku la o Kawelo ia Kauahoa, penei:

Hanalei, the land of rain,

The cold land, the wet land,

The land where the end is.

Sitting there, delaying there,

For the anger of Honokoa is reviling.

At the cliff of Kalehuawehe

Where the rain sweeps on the outside of Mamalahoa.

Kauahoa, the stalwart youth of Hanalei,

The person of whom Kamalama is afraid, Kauahoa,

For he is indeed large.

He is the largest man

Of Kauai, Kauahoa.

O Hanalei aina ua,

Aina anuanu, aina koekoe,

Aina a ka pea i noho ai,

Noho ana e liu ana e,

Eia ka hoi ua kanaka nui

O Kauai, o Kauahoa.

We will here give a description of Kauahoa, his height and width. His height was eight times five yards, or forty yards, or one hundred and twenty feet. He was also compared to the size of eight streams, and his strength was equal to that number of streams or to eight companies of forty men each, or to three hundred and twenty men. After Kawelo had chanted to Kauahoa, he looked toward his wife Kanewahineikiaoha and chanted as follows: Maanei e maopopo ai ia kakou ka nui o Kauahoa, kona kiekie a me kona laula. Ewalu kahaku. Ewalu ka mana kahawai, ewalu ka poe kaua. Eia ke ano o keia mau helu. Ewalu kahaku, ua like ia me na anana he iwakalua, oia na kapuai he hanele me iwakalua. Pela na mana kahawai ewalu. Ua like ka nui o Kauahoa me kekahi kahawai nui, ewalu ona mau manamana ma o a maanei, pela hoi na poe kaua ewalu. Ua like ko Kauahoa ikaika a me kona nui, me ka nui o na kanaka i loko o na poe ewalu. Ina he kanaha ka nui o na kanaka o ia poe, pela a pau na poe ewalu, o ia ko Kauahoa mea e like pu ai. Ua like ia me na kanaka ekolu hanele me iwakalua ke hoonui ia. Ia Kawelo e paha ana imua o Kauahoa, nana ae la ia i kana wahine o Kanewahineikiaoha, a paha ae la, penei:

Say, Kanewahineikiaoha, Your pikoi, throw it up, At Helelua, at Helelua At the ridge-pole of Hanalei. Arise thou, Hanalei, Until Kauahoa thou hast killed, When Hanalei thou shalt possess, And the mats of Niihau thou shalt wear, And the birds of Kaula thou shalt eat. E Kanewahineikiaoha e; Ko pikoi hoolei ia i luna, I helelua, i helelua, I kaupoku o Hanalei la. E ala e Hanalei e, A make o Kauahoa ia oe, Ai ae ia Hanalei, Aahu ae i ka pawehe o Niihau, Ai la oe i ka manu o Kaula.

At the close of this chant, Kawelo said to his younger brother, Kamalama, and to his adopted sons Kaeleha and Kalaumeki: “Where you see the sun shine, there you must stand, so that when Kauahoa strikes his club, you will not be under it, and in that way escape death.” As soon as this instruction was given, as Kauahoa was raising his club, Kawelo jumped back out of its reach and stood behind Kauahoa, so that the club dropped in front of Kauahoa. Kauahoa then reached down to pick up the club, and, while in a stooping position, Kawelo raised his club and struck Kauahoa a blow, cutting him in two and killing him. As the body was almost severed, Kawelo’s club, Kuikaa, was reluctant [to finish] on account of the bad odor of Kauahoa’s body. Thus was Kauahoa killed, the last of Aikanaka’s great warriors. A pau ka paha ana a Kawelo, olelo aku la ia i ke kaikaina ia Kamalama, me na keiki hookama o Kaeleha laua o Kalaumeki: “E, ina oukou i ike i kahi e poha ai ka la, ma laila no oukou e ku ai, i hahau iho no o Kauahoa i ka laau ana, aole oukou e loaa, puka no oukou ma laila, a pakele no.” Mahope o keia olelo a Kawelo ia lakou, ia wa i hoomoe ai o Kauahoa i ka laau ana, lele aku la o Kawelo ma waho o ka hua o ka laau a Kauahoa, a ku iho la, mahope mai o Kauahoa. Ia wa, kulou iho la o Kauahoa i lalo, a hoala mai la i ka laau ana. Ia Kauahoa i hoala ai i ka laau ana, ia wa o Kawelo i hahau ai i kana laau palau Kuikaa ia Kauahoa, a nahae iho la o Kauahoa mai luna a lalo, a kokoke e lele loa, makau e iho la ka laau a Kawelo, i ka maea o ka honowa o Kauahoa. A make iho la o Kauahoa, o ka pau no ia o na koa o Aikanaka i ka make.

At sundown that day, Kawelo said to Kamalama and to the rest of his men: “My wife and I are going to climb the Nounou hill. When you see a fire burning on the hill this night, Kauai is ours.” Kawelo and his wife then climbed the hill until they came to the ladder, where Kawelo chanted as follows: A po ua la nei, olelo aku o Kawelo ia Kamalama ma: “Ke pii nei maua i luna o ka puu o Nounou; ina oukou i nana ae a a ke ahi i keia po i luna o ka puu, ua puni o Kauai nei ia kakou.” Pii aku la o Kawelo me kana wahine i luna o ka puu o Nounou. A hiki laua i ka hulili, alaila, paha aku la o Kawelo, penei:

Say, Aikanaka, chief of this height,

Who lives on the hill of Nounou,

Come and let us make friends,

And sleep on the mats.

E Aikanaka, alii o luna nei,

E noho ana i ka puu o Nounou;

E hele mai oe e ike kaua,

A ai no kaua ia Kauai,

A e moe i ka moena.

When Aikanaka heard the chant, he said: “That is Kawelo.” The rest of the people denied this, saying: “He cannot come as he must be weary from the fight of this day; therefore he must be sleeping.” Aikanaka said: “That is Kawelo’s voice that I hear chanting.” While they were disputing over this, Kawelo again chanted as follows: A lohe o Aikanaka i keia paha a Kawelo, olelo aku la ia: “O Kawelo keia.” Hoole kekahi poe: “Aole ia e hiki mai, ua luhi i ke kaua i ke ao, nolaila, ua hiamoe aku la kona po.” I aku o Aikanaka: “O Kawelo no keia leo e paha mai nei.” Ia lakou e hoopaapaa ana, paha hou mai la o Kawelo, penei:

Are you the only people? Are there none others there above? O oukou wale no e—a. Aohe mea e ae o luna e?

When Aikanaka heard this, he replied: “There are some people yet left on the hill, their names are: A lohe o Aikanaka, hai aku la ia: “He mau kanaka no ko ka puu nei i koe. Eia na inoa o ia poe:

Kaehuikiawakea, Wakea 1, Wakea 2, Kamakaokahoku, Paoa 1, Paoa 2, Hilinuiwawaeahu, Ahua 1, Ahua 2, Kapinaonuianio, Koinanaulu 1, Koinanaulu 2. O Kaehuikiawakea, o Wakea 1, o Wakea 2, O Kamakaokahoku, o Paoa 1, o Paoa 2, O Hilinuiwawaeahu, o Ahua 1, o Ahua 2, O Kapinaonuianio, o Koinanaulu 1, o Koinanaulu 2.

Olelo hou mai o Aikanaka: “O na kanaka iho la no ia o ka puu i koe, aohe mahuahua, ua pau loa na kanaka i ka make.” A pau ka hai ana aku a Aikanaka ia Kawelo, olelo aku la ia i kana mau kahuna, a me na kilo, ke kuhikuhipuuone: “E iho au e ike me Kawelo.” Wahi a Aikanaka i na kahuna: “Kai no paha no Kawelo nei aina e kaua mai nei, aole ka! No’u no. Owau no maluna, oia no malalo.” I mai na kahuna ia Aikanaka: “Pehea oe e hele aku ai e ike, he ’lii oe, he kauwa ia, he helu elelu kona kupuna, no ka uka ae nei o Kulahuhu la, o Nahanaimoa ka inoa.”

A lohe o Kawelo i keia olelo a na kahuna, kaa aku la ia i ka pali, a ike o Kanewahineikiaoha i ke kaa ana o Kawelo i ka pali, hoolei aku la ia i kana pikoi, a paa mai la o Kawelo. I aku o Kanewahineikiaoha: “Heaha iho nei keia ou e Kawelo?” I mai o Kawelo: “I hilahila au ia oe, i kuu olelo ia mai nei i ke kauwa.” I aku o Kanewahineikiaoha: “Kupanaha oe! Kai no e noonoo mua oe a maopopo he kauwa io; e ole au e ike aku nei ia oe, ina ua make oe.” Alaila, noonoo iho la o Kawelo a paha aku la, penei:

The chicken is the king, The chicken roosts on the house, And sits over your head, Aikanaka. The chicken wakes you up in the morning. The chicken is a king, it is a king. He ’lii ka moa, Kau ana ka moa i luna o ka hale, A hiia ko poo e Aikanaka O ka moa kou mea e ala ai, He ’lii ka moa e, he ’lii.

At the end of this chant, Aikanaka said to his priests: “Kawelo says that a chicken is a king.” The priests said to Aikanaka: “You tell Kawelo that chickens are servants.” When Kawelo heard these remarks repeated by Aikanaka, he again chanted as follows: Ma keia paha ana a Kawelo, olelo aku o Aikanaka, i na kahuna: “Ke olelo mai nei o Kawelo, he ’lii ka moa.” I mai na kahuna ia Aikanaka: “E olelo aku oe ia Kawelo he kauwa ka moa.” A lohe o Kawelo i keia olelo a Aikanaka, paha aku la ia penei:

The feathers of the chickens are plaited Into kahili, that stand in the presence of kings. Your back, Aikanaka, is brushed by the kahili. Therefore chickens are kings, Chickens are kings, Aikanaka, And not servants. Haku ia nae hoi ka hulu o ka moa, I kahili i mua o na ’lii, Kahili ia nae hoi ko kua e Aikanaka; Nolaila, he ’lii ka moa. He lii ka moa e Aikanaka, Aohe kauwa e.

Mahope o keia paha ana a Kawelo, aohe walaau hou mai o luna o ka puu o Nounou, no ka mea, ua makau lakou ia Kawelo, a ua hele malu mai ka puu aku o Nounou, a uka o Hanapepe ma Koula, a malaila o Aikanaka i noho ai.

CHAPTER VIII. The Division of the Lands of Kauai.—Aikanaka Becomes a Tiller of Ground. MOKUNA VIII. Ka Mahele ana o na Aina o Kauai.—Lilo o Aikanaka i Mea Mahiai.

A lilo o Kauai ia Kawelo a puni, alaila, mahele maikai aku la ia i ka aina i kona mau kokua a hoalawehana ma ke kaua ana; aole oia i alunu a makee i ka aina a me ka waiwai. Penei ka mahele ana o Kawelo ia Kauai, no Kamalama, Kaeleha a me Kalaumeki: O Koolau no Kalaumeki; o Puna no Kaeleha; o Kona no Kamalama; o Kauai a puni no Kawelo.

Ma keia puni ana o Kauai ia Kawelo, noho iho la ia ma Hanamaulu, me kana wahine o Kanewahineikiaoha. O Aikanaka hoi, noho iho la ia ma Hanapepe me ka ilihune, aohe aina, aohe hanohano, aohe ai, aohe ia, aohe kapa, aohe hale. Hookahi a Aikanaka hana, o ka mahiai i ai na lakou.

Ia Aikanaka e noho ana i laila, hele aku la o Kaeleha mai Kapaa aku, ma ka aoao hikina o Kauai, a hiki ma ke komohana o Kauai ma Hanapepe, kahi o Aikanaka e noho ana. Ma kahi a Kaeleha i hiki mua ai, ma Wahiawa, i kahi o Ahulua e noho ana, i laila laua i hui ai me Aikanaka; ua hele mai ia mai Koula mai a laila, i ka lawaia a me ka auau kai.

Ma keia mau mea a Aikanaka i haawi mai ai ia Kaeleha, ua kuia kona manao, no ka hilahila i kana uku ole e uku ai ia Aikanaka.

Nolaila, hele makaikai aku la o Kaeleha a hiki i Mana, a lei i ka pahapaha o Polihale, hoi mai la a hiki i Wahiawa. Ma keia hoi ana o Kaeleha, aole i kipa i ko Kamalama wahi, no ka mea, ua komo kona makemake i ke kaikamahine a Aikanaka, oia o Kawelowai. Hoi aku la o Kaeleha me Aikanaka i uka o Koula, ma uka o Hanapepe. Ma keia noho ana, ua loihi ko lakou manawa i noho ai. Nolaila, ua hilahila o Kaeleha i kona makuahunowai ia Aikanaka.

CHAPTER IX. Kaeleha and Aikanaka Rebel Against Kawelo.—Their Battle and Supposed Death of Kawelo. MOKUNA IX. Ke Kipi ana o Kaeleha, a me Aikanaka ia Kawelo.—Ko Lakou Kaua ana a me ka Manaoia ana ua Make o Kawelo.

Ike aku la o Kaeleha i ka hooikaika o kona makuahunowai, o Aikanaka, i ka po a me ke ao, hu ae la kona aloha. Ninau aku la o Kaeleha ia Aikanaka: “He nui no ka poe mahope ou, e kokua ana ia oe?” I mai la o Aikanaka: “He nui no.” A lohe o Kaeleha, olelo aku la ia ia Aikanaka: “Eia ko Kawelo kaua e make ai ia oe. Ke kaua, o ke kaua pohaku, no ka mea, aole i ao ia o Kawelo i ka alo.” A lohe o Aikanaka i keia olelo a Kaeleha, lana hou kona manao e kaua hou me Kawelo. Alaila, olelo iho o Aikanaka i kana olelo kaena, penei: “Ola na iwi i ka hunona.”

The cause of the uprising then was because Kaeleha was ashamed on account of his father-in-law for not having anything with which to repay his great kindness. In this we can see how ungratefully Kaeleha acted toward Kawelo, and how he lacked all sense of honor and good feeling toward the one who had brought him up to his present high station and esteem, a chief of one of the districts of Kauai. O ke kumu o keia kipi ana, o ka hilahila o Kaeleha i kona makuahunowai i kana waiwai ole e uku aku ai. Maanei e ike kakou i ke aloha ole o Kaeleha ia Kawelo, a me kona hilahila ole, aloha ole i kona mea nana i malama kupono a lilo ai i alii aimoku no Kauai.

Ma keia mau olelo a Kaeleha me Aikanaka, ua kui aku la ia olelo a lohe o Kawelo ma Hanamaulu, ma ka hikina o Kauai. Hoouna aku la o Kawelo i ka elele, e hele a loaa o Kamalama ma Kona, e hele mai e nana, e hoolohe, i ka oiaio a me ka ole o keia lohe. A hiki ka elele i mua o Kamalama, hai aku la i na olelo a kona kaikuaana, a Kawelo; a lohe o Kamalama, hele mai la ia a hiki i Waimea, a Hanapepe, Wahiawa. Nana aku la o Kamalama i ke kula o Kalae, ua lehulehu loa na kanaka e hoiliili pohaku ana; o na kane, o na wahine, o na keiki.

Ia Kamalama e nana ana, halawai mai la kekahi kanaka me ia, a ninau aku la ia: “Heaha ka hana a kela lehulehu o ke kula e paapu mai la?” I mai la ke kanaka: “He hoiliili pohaku.” “He pohaku aha?” wahi a Kamalama. “He pohaku kaua na Kaeleha laua o Aikanaka, me Kawelo.” Alaila, maopopo iho la ia Kamalama, he oiaio na olelo a ka elele i hai mai ai ia ia, alaila, emi hope aku la kana hoi ana, a hiki i ka hale, hoouna aku la ia i elele, e hai aku ia Kawelo.

Upon the arrival of the messenger in the presence of Kawelo at Hanamaulu, he told him how Kaeleha and Aikanaka were making preparations, by gathering stones, for another conflict. When Kawelo heard this, a great anger welled up in him against his son, Kaeleha. He then immediately rose and proceeded to Wahiawa, which lies on the other side from Hanamaulu. When he arrived at Wahiawa, he saw several war canoes belonging to Kaeleha and Aikanaka, just back of the great mounds of stones. On the sides of the mounds of stones, he saw women and children with stones in their hands, and all were apparently ready for the conflict. All Kawelo had in his hands were his war club, Kuikaa, and his wife’s pikoi, two weapons to defend himself with. A hiki aku la ka elele i mua o Kawelo ma Hanamaulu, hai aku la ia ia Kawelo, i ka hoomakaukau o Kaeleha a me Aikanaka i ka pohaku, no ke kaua hou. A lohe o Kawelo i keia mau olelo, komo mai la ka huhu wela loa ia Kawelo ia wa, no kana keiki no Kaeleha. Ia wa, hele mai la o Kawelo mai Hanamaulu mai a hiki i Wahiawa, ma kela aoao mai. Ike mai la ia i na waa kaua o Kaeleha ma, ma ke kua aku o na eho pohaku. Aia ma na aoao o ka eho pohaku, na wahine me na pohaku i ka lima, a pela na keiki ma kekahi aoao o ka eho pohaku, me na pohaku i ka lima. Ua makaukau lakou a pau loa no ke kaua ana. O na mea kaua ma ko Kawelo lima, o ka laau palau no ana o Kuikaa, a me ka pikoi a kana wahine, a Kanewahineikiaoha. Nolaila, alua wale no ana mea kaua.

THE BATTLE BETWEEN KAWELO, AND KAELEHA AND AIKANAKA. KE KAUA ANA O KAWELO, ME KAELEHA A ME AIKANAKA MA.

In this battle we will see how brave and powerful Kawelo really was, because, although he was all by himself, he fought against the multitude that opposed him. In the fight, Kawelo was not able to dodge the stones that were hurled at him, for a great many of them were thrown at the same time, therefore he stood in one place while the stones were hitting him from all sides. In course of time, Kawelo was completely covered by the stones, the stones rising until his height was reached. When Kawelo saw this, he pushed the stones from off him and for a time he would be free; but this was only for a very short while, for the stones would come so fast that again he would be covered. This was continued until Kawelo began to grow weaker and weaker, so that finally he was unable to push the stones away from him. After a while the mound of stones over Kawelo grew higher and higher, when at last nothing else could be seen but a great mound of stones which was like a grave for Kawelo. When the people saw that Kawelo was entirely covered over with stones, they believed that they had killed him, for they were sure that none could live in such a hail of stones as was cast at Kawelo. The people then ceased throwing and they came and took the stones from off of Kawelo. After a while he was found all bruised from head to feet and, to all appearances, lifeless. They then took up his body and began to beat it with clubs, after which they leaned over him and listened to see if he was alive or dead. After a while they made sure that Kawelo was indeed dead, and they proclaimed that Aikanaka was the king of Kauai. Ma keia kaua ana e ike ai kakou i ke koa a me ka ikaika lua ole o Kawelo, no ka mea, hookahi ia, a he nui mai kona mau enemi. I ke kaua ana, aole e hiki ia Kawelo ke alo ae, no ka nui loa o na pohaku e lele mai ana i luna ona. Nolaila, ku malie iho la o Kawelo i waena o na pohaku e hailuku ia ana. Ma keia hailuku ana, ua paa o Kawelo i na pohaku, ma kela aoao a ma keia aoao, a ua like hoi ke kiekie o na pohaku me kona kiekie. Nolaila, lu ae la o Kawelo i na pohaku, a hiolo iho la, ma o a maanei o kona kino. Iloko o ia wa a Kawelo e lu nei i na pohaku, lele hou mai la na pohaku a luna, pela no ka hana ana a nawaliwali o Kawelo. Ia wa, ua paa o Kawelo i na pohaku, mai lalo a luna loa ae o kono poo, a lilo iho la o Kawelo i eho pohaku, a lilo no hoi ka pohaku i lua kupapau nona ia wa. A ike na kanaka a pau loa, ua paa o Kawelo malalo o na pohaku, manao iho la lakou, ua make o Kawelo, no ka nui o na kanaka e hailuku ana i na pohaku me ka ikaika loa. Nolaila, hooki iho la lakou i ka hailuku ana i na pohaku. Kii aku la na kanaka, a wehe ae la i na pohaku, a loaa iho la ke kino o Kawelo, ua palupalu loa, a ua poholehole ka ili a puni. Hapai ae la lakou, a hahau iho la i kona kino, a hookokoke iho la ma kona opu e hoolono ana, i ka make loa, a i ka make ole. A maopopo iho la ia lakou, ua make io no o Kawelo. Nolaila, hooholo iho la lakou, o Aikanaka ke ’lii o Kauai a puni.

In this battle and the subsequent beating with clubs, it turned out strange that after all Kawelo was not really killed. It seemed that he still had a little spark of life within him, and in course of time he came to life again. But this was not known; consequently, his enemies were prevented from killing him outright. Kawelo was aware that, if he showed any signs of life when they examined him, he would be killed, so he pretended to be dead. Ma keia hailukuia ana o Kawelo, he mea kupanaha loa ia ma ka noonoo ana iho, i ko Kawelo make ole i loko o keia kaua ana. Ua uuku loa kona wahi ola i koe, aole nui loa, a he wahi hanu uuku no hoi i koe i loko ona, aole nae he ike ia, nolaila, ua pakele oia i ka pepehi maoli ia e kona mau enemi. He wahi maalea no ia o Kawelo, ma ka wa i huli ia ai kona hanu e na enemi.

After remaining in a deep sleep as it were for some time, Kawelo woke up and felt that he was greatly relieved from his bruises. He also felt that his strength had returned to him, and gradually he realized that he was at last saved from a terrible death. He then planned how he was to deal out his vengeance to all his enemies and particularly his son Kaeleha and Aikanaka.

O ka unu, he lele ia e kau ai ke kanaka, a me ka puaa, ka maia, ka ia, ka awa, a me na mea a pau loa. Ua hana o Aikanaka he unu nana ma Maulili, aia ia wahi ma Koloa a hiki i keia la. Aole nae i hai ia i ke kanaka. A manao iho la o Aikanaka e lawe ia Kawelo i laila e hai ai, no ka mea, he unu hou kela, aole i kau ia i ke kanaka mamua. Nolaila, auamo ia aku la o Kawelo mai Wahiawa a hiki i Koloa. Ua loihi no kela mau aina, aneane mai Honolulu aku a Luakaha, ua like me eono mile.

A hiki o Kawelo i laila, hookomo ia aku la maloko o ka pa o ka unu, me ka manao o Aikanaka, e waiho mai ia la a po, a ao, ia la e kau ia ai o Kawelo i luna o ka lele, no ka mea, ua po ia la. Nolaila, hoomoe ia iho la o Kawelo, uhi ia iho la a paa i ka lau maia. Ma keia moe ana o Kawelo, ua loaa ia ia ka oluolu a me ka maha no kona mau eha. A ua ikaika hou kona kino e like me mamua; nolaila, noonoo iho la ia me kona manao, ua hala kona wa make a me ka poino. Eia wale no kona manao ia wa, o ka pepehi aku i kona mau enemi a pau loa i ka make, oia no kana keiki, o Kaeleha, o Aikanaka.

HOW KAWELO CAME TO LIFE AGAIN. KE OLA HOU ANA O KAWELO.

We will here see how Kawelo came to life again and how he overcame his enemies. In the night when Kawelo was lying covered up with banana leaves, at about midnight, at the time when the Milky Way turns, Kawelo felt his strength returning to him and his bruises became less painful. He therefore rose and walked back and forth, impatiently waiting for the coming of day, when he expected to see Aikanaka and Kaeleha and the others enter the temple. Where Aikanaka and his followers had gone to spend the night was at a place some distance away, but before leaving he had placed a guard over Kawelo. This guard was a close friend of Kawelo’s. When Kawelo rose, the man saw that he was come back to life again, so he asked: “Is that you?” Kawelo answered: “Yes, it is I.” Kawelo then asked the guard: “Where are Aikanaka and his followers?” The guard replied: “They have retired for the night.” Kawelo again asked: “Are they not coming back again?” The guard replied: “They are coming back here in the morning.” Maanei e ike ai kakou i ke ola hou ana o Kawelo, a me kona lanakila ana maluna o kona mau enemi. I ka po o Kawelo i hoomoe ia ai me ka lau maia, a like a like o ka po, oia ka huli ana o ka ia, a o ke kau no ia, loaa mai la ia Kawelo ka ikaika a me ka oluolu, a pau ae la kona eha nui ana. Nolaila, ala ae la oia a holoholo i o a i anei, e kakali ana o ke ao ae, a e manao ana no hoi i ke komo mai o Aikanaka a me Kaeleha, a me na mea a pau loa. O ko Aikanaka ma wahi i moe ai, he loihi loa aku ia. Aia hoi, ua hoonoho o Aikanaka he kiai no Kawelo, a o ua kanaka ala, ua pili makamaka ia Kawelo. I ko Kawelo ala ana aku, ike mai la ia ia Kawelo, ua ola hou. Ninau mai la ia: “O oe no ia?” Ae mai la o Kawelo: “Ae, owau no.” Ninau aku la o Kawelo i ke kiai: “Auhea o Aikanaka ma?” I mai la ke kiai: “Ua hoi i kahi e moe ai.” Alaila, ninau hou aku la o Kawelo: “Aole nae paha e hoi hou mai.” I mai la kela: “E hoi hou mai ana no i anei, i ke kakahiaka.”

To place you on the altar And to sacrifice you to the gods, That you may serve as the human offering for the temple. But it seems you have come to life. E kau ia oe i ka lele, A e mohai ia oe na ke ’kua, A i kanaka oe no ka unu; Eia ka e ola mai ana oe.

Kawelo then said to the guard: “Let us sit up for a while before I retire. After I lay down, cover me up again with the banana leaves just as before until daylight. I want you to watch the people as they come into the temple. When you see that all have entered, come and wake me and I shall then slay them all.” I aku la o Kawelo i ke kiai: “E ala iki kaua a liuliu, hoi au e moe. A i moe au, e uhi oe ia’u i ka lau maia a paa e like me mamua, a hiki i ke ao ana. E nana oe i ko lakou komo ana i loko nei, a ike oe ua pau loa i ke komo, alaila, kii ae oe ia’u e hoala ae, a e luku aku au ia lakou a pau loa i ka make.”

After imparting these instructions to the guard, Kawelo retired and the guard proceeded to cover him up with the banana leaves, from head to foot. On being again covered up Kawelo did not go to sleep, nor was he in any way unwatchful, in fact, he was very vigilant and was very anxious to meet his enemies, when he would mete out death to them. Kawelo became very restless and anxious for daylight to come, that he might set eyes on Aikanaka and the others. Early that morning Kawelo waited for the coming of Aikanaka and his followers, but the people were slow in making their appearance. It was about noon before Aikanaka and his followers appeared. When the guard saw that Aikanaka, Kaeleha, the chiefs, the warriors and the people, men, women and children, had all come into the temple enclosure, he approached the side of Kawelo and whispered to him, saying: A pau ka olelo ana a Kawelo i ke kiai, hoi aku la ia moe, uhi aku la ke kiai ia ia i ka lau maia a paa, mai na wawae o Kawelo a ke poo. Ma keia moe hou ana o Kawelo, aole oia i hiamoe maoli, aole hoi i palaka, aka, ua makaala loa ia, me ka iini o kona naau e ala a ike i kona mau enemi, alaila, hoopai aku i ka make ia lakou. Ua uluhua loa o Kawelo i ke ao ole ae o ka po, a i ke kali ana ia Aikanaka ma. A ao ae la, a hiki i ke kakahiaka nui, aole i hiki mai, mai laila a hiki i ke awakea ana, hiki mai la o Aikanaka ma. A ike ke kiai ua komo o Aikanaka, o Kaeleha, na ’lii a pau loa, na koa, na kanaka he nui loa, na kane, na wahine, na keiki, aohe mea koe i waho, ua pau loa i loko o ka pa o ka unu, nolaila, hele malu aku la ke kiai a ma ka aoao o Kawelo, hawanawana iho la penei:

Say, Kawelo! O say, Kawelo! You must wake up, you must wake up! Aikanaka has entered, Kaeleha has entered, The chiefs have entered, The warriors have entered, The men have entered, The women have entered, The children have entered, All have entered. Wake up, you must hasten, don’t be slow. E Kawelo e, e Kawelo e, E ala oe, e ala oe, Ua komo ae la o Aikanaka, Ua komo o Kaeleha, Ua komo na ’lii, Ua komo na koa, Ua komo na kane, Ua komo na wahine, Ua komo na keiki, Ua pau loa i loko nei; E ala, e wiki oe, mai lohi.

When Kawelo heard the call of the guard, he hastily threw off the banana leaves from his body. While Kawelo was doing this, the guard again called out to the people that had come in: A lohe o Kawelo i ka olelo a ke kiai, wikiwiki ae la ia i ke kiola i ka lau maia, ma o a maanei ona. Ia Kawelo e ala ana a kiola, kahea mai la ke kanaka kiai ia loko a pau loa:

Say, Kawelo is alive again! Say, Kawelo is alive again! E! Ola hou o Kawelo! E! Ola hou o Kawelo!

A lohe lakou i keia leo o ke kiai, huli mai la lakou e nana ia Kawelo, a ike lakou, kau mai la ka makau a me ka weliweli maluna o lakou. Ia wa i hoomaka hou ai lakou e kaua me Kawelo. A kokoke mai la o Kawelo, paha mai la ia no Kaeleha a me Aikanaka; penei ua paha la:

One, kindly brought up by me until you were full grown,

What is my fault that you should rebel against me;

That caused you to take up that which has a bad ending, treason?

Your life is ended this day,

Taken by your father,

By Kaweloleimakua.

Say, Aikanaka!

You shall be Kawelo’s prisoner.

This is the day to be brave, be you therefore brave,

The day when one shall either die or live.

Death I fear shall be your portion.

E Kaeleha keiki a’u nei la,

I hanai maikai ia e a’u a nui;

O ke aha ka’u hala i kipi ai oe,

I lalau ai oe i ka mea hope ole he kipi?

Pau ke ola la i keia la,

E Aikanaka e,

Eia ka la o ke koa, koa ia;

Ka la make, ka la ola;

A waiho o Kawelo i ka paha ana, luku aku la ia ia lakou a pau loa i ka make, aohe mea i koe. Alaila, puni hou o Kauai ia Kawelo, a noho alii iho la ia e like me mamua, a hoi aku la ia i Hanamaulu e noho ai me kona mau makua, a me kana wahine.

Here endeth the famous legend of Kawelo, except some perhaps in the minds of the people. Maanei pau ka moolelo kaulana o Kawelo, a koe paha kekahi ma na keena opu o ka lehulehu.

Story of Pakaa. Pakaa’s High Office.—Laamaomao, His Wind Gourd.—Pakaa, in Disfavor with the King, Departs and Settles on Molokai.—Has a Son Whom He Instructs Carefully.—Dreams of Keawenuiaumi Setting Out in Search of Him.—Prepares with His Son to Meet the King. He Kaao no Pakaa. Ko Pakaa Oihana Kiekie.—Laamaomao, Kana Ipu-makani.—No Kona Punahele Ole i ke Alii, Holo o Pakaa a Noho ma Molokai.—Loaa Kana Keiki a A’o Maikai Oia ia ia.—Ike Oia ia Keawenuiaumi ma ka Moe e Holo mai ana e Huli Iaia.—Hoomakaukau oia me Kana Keiki e Hui me ke Alii.

He Kauwa o Pakaa na Keawenuiaumi, ke ’lii nui o Hawaii, he kanaka punahele loa o Pakaa i kona haku, ia ia ka hooponopono o na aina a me na ai alo o Keawenuiaumi. Ia ia no hoi ka malama o na mea a pau a ke ’lii, ke kapa, ka ai, ka ia, ka malo, ke kahili, ke kanoa, ka apu awa, ka awa, ka ipu kakele, a me na mea a pau loa o Keawenuiaumi.

Because of the great care exercised by Pakaa in the supervision of the things belonging to the king, he was raised to the highest office in the king’s household and he became a greater favorite than all the chiefs and men under the king. In time the king gave Pakaa several pieces of land in the six different districts of Hawaii for his own use. No ka malama pono o Pakaa i na mea a pau loa, nolaila, ua kiekie kona punahele ia Keawenuiaumi, maluna o na ’lii a me na kanaka a pau loa. Ua haawi aku o Keawenuiaumi i mau aina hou no Pakaa, i loko o na moku eono o Hawaii.

A ia Pakaa no hoi ka hookele o ko Keawenuiaumi waa, ia ia ka holo a me ka ole, ka malie a me ka ino, o ka Pakaa e olelo ai, oia ka ke ’lii e hooko ai. O Lapakahoe, oia ka hoe a Pakaa, a e hookele ai i ka waa o ke ’lii, ke hiki i ka wa holo. Laamaomao, he ipu makani ia na Pakaa, he ipu maoli no o loko, a he ie o waho, ua ulana hinai ia; o ko Pakaa makuahine no ia, a ua hoo ia na iwi o Laamaomao i loko o ka ipu e Pakaa, a ua kapa ia ka ipu ma ka inoa o Laamaomao, no ka mea, i ka wa ola o Laamaomao, he hoolohe ka makani ia ia, nolaila kela olelo, “ka ipumakani a Laamaomao.”

RELATING TO HOOKELEIHILO AND HOOKELEIPUNA. NO HOOKELEIHILO A ME HOOKELEIPUNA.

These two were new men taken up by Keawenuiaumi, whereby Pakaa was disrated by the king and in time all the powers and privileges that were formerly Pakaa’s were taken out of his hands and given over to these two men, Hookeleihilo and Hookeleipuna, except the personal effects of the king; these the king left with Pakaa. Because of this want of faith in him, Pakaa left the presence of the king and wandered off heavy hearted and in great grief over the actions of the king, for he did not want to be ordered about by anyone. In this departure of Pakaa he took with him the kapas, malos and all the personal effects of Keawenuiaumi and placed them within his calabash, Laamaomao. He also took with him his paddle, called Lapakahoe, so named in honor of his younger brother, Lapakahoe. Oia na kauwa a Keawenuiaumi i lawe hou ai, a hoowahawaha iho la ia Pakaa; lawe ae la i na mea a pau loa mai ka lima ae o Pakaa, a haawi aku la ia Hookeleihilo a me Hookeleipuna, koe nae na pono kino o ke ’lii ia Pakaa. Nolaila, hele naauauwa o Pakaa me ka hoohuakaeo, aole ona makemake e lohe i ko hai leo maluna ona. Ma keia hele ana o Pakaa, lawe mai la ia i ke kapa, ka malo, na mea a pau o Keawenuiaumi, a hahao i loko o kana ipu o Laamaomao a lawe pu ae la i kana hoe, o Lapakahoe. Ua kapa ia kana hoe i kona kaikaina ia Lapakahoe.

When Pakaa was about to leave, he said to his younger brother, who was a chief in possession over certain lands in the district of Hilo: “Our master somehow is displeased with me and has taken back everything I once owned, leaving me only a few pieces of land, which I suppose he will take away by and by. Since I am going away I want you to live on your lands; but be faithful to our master. I am going away now, but am not certain where I shall locate.” Olelo aku o Pakaa i kona kaikaina ia Lapakahoe: “E noho alii ana no kekahi mau aina o Hilo, ua hoowahawaha ka haku o kaua ia’u, ua lawe aku i na pono a pau loa, a koe no he mau aina, mahope paha pau loa, nolaila, a i pau kou noho aina ana, noho a kanaka aku no malalo o ka haku o kaua. Nolaila, ke hele nei au, aole i akaka ko’u wahi e noho ai.”

Kau aku la o Pakaa ma ka waa a holo mai la, a hala o Maui a me Lele, a hiki i Molokai, ma ka huli ma Kona, e nana ala ia Lanai, noho iho la o Pakaa ilaila, a moe i ke ’lii wahine o ia aina, a hapai ke keiki, a hanau, kapa iho la o Pakaa i ka inoa, o Kuapakaa. Eia ke ano o ia inoa, o ke akaakaa mahuna, o ka ili o Keawenuiaumi i ka awa, a waiho wale mai ka io me he pakaa la.

After Kuapakaa had grown up to the age when he could talk and think, Pakaa said to him: “I want to teach you the meles relating to your master and also the general knowledge of all things; for it is possible that in time he will miss me and will come to make a search; if he does I want you to be in a position of readiness to meet him.” The course of instruction did not take many days, for Kuapakaa was a bright boy and everything was mastered in a way that gave him a thorough knowledge of the different subjects. A loaa ia Kuapakaa ka olelo, olelo aku o Pakaa: “E ao kaua ia oe i ke mele o ko haku, a me na mea a pau loa, malama o noho a aloha imi mai, e noho aku ana oe me ka makaukau.” Aole i loihi na la o laua i ao ai, ua pau loa i ka loaa ia Kuapakaa, a ua lilo ia i mea wale waha ia ia i na la a pau loa.

A short time after this a canoe came in from Hilo and word was brought that Keawenuiaumi was beginning to feel keenly the loss of Pakaa. Pakaa during the recital of this piece of news did not tell the Hilo man that he was Pakaa himself. Mahope o laila, pae mai la kekahi waa mai Hilo mai, a olelo mai la i ke aloha o Keawenuiaumi ia Pakaa, aole nae ia i olelo i kona inoa i ua waa ala.

A mahope o keia lohe ana, moe iho la o Pakaa i ka moe uhane, a ma ka uhane, ua loaa ko Keawenuiaumi uhane ia Pakaa. I mai la o Keawenuiaumi: “Eia au a huli aku ia oe.” I aku o Pakaa: “Aia au i Kaula kahi i noho ai.” Hikilele o Keawenuiaumi, a olelo i na ’lii eono o Hawaii, e makaukau na waa a me na kanaka, alaila, imi ia Pakaa, no ka hemahema o Hookeleihilo ma na hana a pau loa.

Pakaa awoke from his sleep and said to his son: “Let us go to the uplands and do our farm work.” The boy consented and the two started up. Their fields were six in number and the food planted was sweet potatoes. Each field was shaped after each of the six districts of Hawaii. Ala ae la no hoi o Pakaa, a olelo i ke keiki, e pii e mahiai; ae mai la ke keiki. Ma keia pii ana a laua, eono mala, he uwala ka ai, ua hoohalike ia me na moku eono o Hawaii.

A makaukau o Keawenuiaumi e holo mai, loaa hou ia Pakaa ma ka moeuhane ko Keawenuiaumi uhane, I mai o Keawenuiaumi: “Aia a na la o Ku, holo aku au e imi ia oe.” Hikilele ae la o Pakaa, a olelo aku la i ke keiki: “E pii kaua i uka i lau hawane” (oia ka loulu). Ua nui loa ko laua amo ana i ka lau hawane, i mea malumalu ua, ke hiki i na ku, ua piha kekahi hale o laua.

A hiki i na ku, holo aku la laua i ka moana e kali ai i na waa o Keawenuiaumi. Mamua o Pakaa o ko laua waa, mahope ke keiki, he lawaia uhu ka Pakaa lawaia, manao ia, o kona wahi ia e nalo ai, no ka mea, he lawaia kulou i lalo ka uhu. A ua lawe pu no hoi laua ia Laamaomao i kai, ma keia holo ana, a hiki laua, puka ana na waa.

Legend of Kuapakaa. He Kaao no Kuapakaa.

CHAPTER I. Kuapakaa Prepares to Meet Keawenuiaumi in Search of Pakaa.—Canoe Fleet of Six District Chiefs, Recognized by Pakaa, Are Taunted by Kuapakaa as They Pass.—Keawenuiaumi Greeted with a Chant and Warned of Coming Storm Is Invited to Land.—On Advice of the Sailing Masters the King Sails on. MOKUNA I. Hoomakaukau o Kuapakaa e Hui me Keawenuiaumi.—Na Auwaa o na Alii Aimoku Eono, Ike ia e Pakaa a Leoleowa ia e Kuapakaa i ko Lakou Kaalo ana ae.—Lohe o Keawenuiaumi i ke Mele o ke Ola, Kono ia Oia e Pae.—No ka Olelo a’o a na Hookele, Holo loa Ke ’lii.

Kuapakaa was the own son of Pakaa, born to him while living in Molokai, of his wife, a high chiefess. The name of Kuapakaa was given to the boy after the father. As the boy grew up the father educated him in all the things pertaining to the office of an immediate servant under the king; and also in the different branches of learning of those days until his education was complete. After Kuapakaa had been educated in these things, they went to the shore to await the coming of Keawenuiaumi in his search of Pakaa.

Oia no ka Pakaa keiki ponoi, i loaa ia ia ma ka noho ana i Molokai, me kana wahine alii, a ua hoopili ia no hoi kona inoa me ko ka makuakane, a ua ao aku no hoi kona makuakane iaia ma ke ano o na mea o ke ’lii, a me na mea e pili ana ia ia. A makaukau o Kuapakaa i keia mau mea, holo laua i kai e kali i ka holo mai o Keawenuiaumi e imi ia Pakaa. Ma keia holo ana, o ka hoe a Pakaa o Lapakahoe, ia Kuapakaa ia mahope o ko laua waa, mamua o Pakaa, e lawaia kaka-uhu ana, me ke kuu o ka lauoho i lalo e loloa ai. A lana mua laua i kai, mahope hiki na waa, ka waa elua kanaka, ka waa ekolu kanaka, a pela aku, na waa aipuupuu, na waa pu kaua, na waa o ka wahine, na waa o na koa.

Ninau aku o Kuapakaa i ka makuakane ia Pakaa: “Auhea ka waa o kuu haku?” I mai o Pakaa: “Aia a o ke kukuna o ka la, holo mai ka waa o ko haku. Eia ke ano o kona waa. Ua aki ia ka pea ma waena, i mea e maopopo ai kona akua, ke ku mai, o Kaili ka inoa, a he lumi kiekie mamua, a mawaena, malaila ko haku, a mahope na hookele.”

Ia laua e kamailio ana, holo mai ana ka waa o Keawenuiaumi, hinuhinu ana na aoao o ka waa i ka loaa i ke kukuna o ka la, a lilelile ana ka hoe a na hoewaa i ka la. I aku la ia i kona makuakane: “Eia kuu haku.” “Aia mahea?” “Aia ma waho o kaua.” I aku o Pakaa: “Oku ia ko hoe i luna.” Ia oku ana o ka hoe, ike mai la o Lapakahoe, e ku ana i luna o na waa o ke ’lii, hai ae la ia i ke ’lii: “E! He wahi waa uuku hoi keia e lana mai nei maloko o kakou, eia la ke oku mai nei i ka hoe.” Olelo aku la o Keawenuiaumi i na hookele: “Kau pono ae olua i ka ihu o na waa i kela wahi waa, malama he olelo kana.” O ke kumu o ke ’lii i olelo ai pela, no ka maa ia Pakaa, ia Pakaa e noho ana me ke ’lii, aole e haalele ka waa o ke ’lii i ka waa e oku mai ana i ka hoe, nolaila, ua maa ke ’lii. A kokoke loa ka waa o ke ’lii ia laua, ninau aku o Pakaa i ke keiki: “Auhea ka waa o ko haku?” I mai ke keiki: “Eia la ua kokoke.” “Kahea ia ka hana o ko haku,” pela mai o Pakaa. Alaila, kahea o Kuapakaa:

Hold back there! Hold back! Be still there! Be still! Be calm there! Be calm! Gently there! Gently! The query, the question, whose the canoe? Kipu la, kipu! Hoolai la, hoolai! Hoopohu la, hoopohu! Hoomalino la, hoomalino! Ouiu, o ninau, nowai he waa?

“No Keawenuiaumi he waa.” Ninau aku ke keiki: “He waa e holo ana i hea?” “He waa e holo ana e imi ia Pakaa.” “Imi ia Pakaa, heaha o Pakaa?” “He kauwa.” I aku o Kuapakaa i kona makuakane, ia Pakaa: “Ka i no he ’lii oe, he kauwa ka oe. Heaha la, he kauwa no oe, a he ’lii no wau ma ka aoao o ko’u makuahine, nolaila, alii no ko’u noho ana ia Molokai nei.” I aku o Pakaa i ke keiki, ninau ia aku: “He kauwa io?” Nolaila, ninau o Kuapakaa: “He kauwa io.” “Aole he kauwa io; he iwi kuamoo, he paa kahili, he lawe ipu kakele.” Maopopo ma keia olelo, he kaukau alii kona makuakane o Pakaa, i aku ia ia Pakaa: “O kou wahi alii auanei, o ko kuu makuahine, alii no ko’u noho ana ia Molokai nei.”

The chiefs under Keawenuiaumi, they being the six district chiefs, were the first to come by. Before Kuapakaa spoke to the canoe of Keawenuiaumi, he first called each of the six chiefs by name, in their order, for Pakaa had already instructed his son in everything pertaining to them.

No na ’lii malalo o Keawenuiaumi, oia na ’lii aimoku o Hawaii, eono moku, eono alii. Mamua ae o ke kamailio ana o Kuapakaa me ka waa o Keawenuiaumi, oia ka wa i hea pakahi ia ai na inoa o na ’lii, e like me ko lakou noho ana, a ua ao no hoi o Pakaa ia mea i kana keiki. I ka wa i hiki mai ai ka mua o na waa, hoomaka ia e ninau i kona makuakane. O Wahilani ka waa mua. Hiki ana he kaulua maikai, ninau aku o Kuapakaa: “No wai keia waa?” “No Wahilani, oia ke ’lii o Kohala.” Ia manawa, oli aku la o Kuapakaa:

He is our chief of Kohala, Wahilani. He is not a chief by birth, he is a petty chief, One who played hide and seek in the sugar cane hills of Kohala. The fish of that land are the grasshoppers, On the leaf of the sugar cane, on the grass blade. It is a land without fish, And the food is the sweet potato, That is the fault found against the land. Wahilani is not a chief; Being a ruler of Kohala, He has been called a chief. O ua alii o makou o Kohala, o Wahilani. Aole no hoi he ’lii, he kaukau alii no, He peepee puko no Kohala, Ka ia o ia aina, he unihi, I ka lau o ke ko, i ka pua o ka mauu. He aina ia ole, O ka uala ka ai, O ke kee ia o ia aina, Aole no hoi o Wahilani he ’lii; O ka ai ana ia Kohala, Olelo ia he ’lii.

By these words of the boy, Wahilani was made very angry and so he made reply: “When did you ever know that, you deceitful boy?” With this Wahilani set off. Ma keia olelo a ke keiki, huhu o Wahilani, a olelo aku la: “I nahea kou ike ana, e na keiki hoopunipuni?” Nolaila holo o Wahilani.

The second canoe was Ehu’s. Another beautiful double canoe came along, the one belonging to Ehu, the chief of Kona. On the approach of this canoe, Kuapakaa asked of his father: “Whose canoe is that?” “It is the canoe of Ehu, the chief of Kona.” Kuapakaa then chanted out: O Ehu ka waa alua. Hoea hou he waa kaulua maikai, o Ehu ia, o ke ’lii o Kona. Ninau aku o Kuapakaa i ka makuakane: “No wai keia waa?” “No Ehu ke ’lii o Kona.” Ia manawa, oli aku la no o Kuapakaa:

Our chief of Kona, Ehu, is not a chief by birth; But as Keawenuiaumi went and lived in Kiholo, Ehu came down from the uplands with bundles of potatoes, And gave them to the king. Ehu then became an adopted son, And Keawenuiaumi gave him Kona, Therefore Ehu became a chief. O ua ’lii o makou o Kona, o Ehu, aohe alii; O ka hele ana aku o Keawenuiaumi a noho i Kiholo, Iho mai o Ehu me na kiki uala, A haawi i ke ’lii. Lilo o Ehu i keiki hookama, Haawi o Keawenuiaumi ia Kona nona, Nolaila, alii o Ehu.

Because of this chant of Kuapakaa, Ehu became angry and said: “You are the most conceited boy I know of. Where did you ever know of me?” With this he sailed off in a rage. Ma keia olelo a Kuapakaa huhu loa o Ehu, a olelo aku la: “He oi oe o ke keiki hoopunipuni; i hea kou ike ana i ko makou ano?” Holo aku ia me ka huhu.

The third canoe was Huaa’s. As this canoe approached Kuapakaa asked of his father: “Whose canoe is this?” “It is the canoe of Huaa, the chief of Kau.” Kuapakaa then chanted as follows: O Huaa ka waa akolu. Hoea hou mai la he waa. Ninau o Kuapakaa i ka makuakane: “Owai keia waa?” “O Huaa, o ke ’lii o Kau.” Oli mai la o Kuapakaa:

Our chief of Kau, Huaa, He is not a chief [by birth], but a petty chief. He is a beater of the ilima of Kamaoa; By this way the people of that land get water to wash in, And it is the main fault of that land For I have lived there and know. O ua ’lii o makou o Kau, o Huaa, Aohe alii, he kaukau alii no. He kaka lau ilima no Kamaoa, Ka wai auau no ia o ia aina, A o ko laila kee no ia, Ua noho au i laila a ike.

This angered Huaa and he too sailed off. Huhu o Huaa a holo aku la.

O Hikinaakala ka waa aha. Hoea hou mai la he waa hou, ninau no keia ia Pakaa, hai mai la no, o ke ’lii o Puna, o Hikinaakala. Oli mai la o Kuapakaa:

Our chief of Puna, Hikinaakala, is not a chief [by birth]; He is like the prickly edges of the hala leaf; But since he became possessed of Puna, He is said to be a chief. He is not a chief. O ua ’lii o makou o Puna, o Hikinaakala, aohe alii, He makakokala, lauhahala ooi; O ka ai ana ia Puna, Olelo ia ai he alii, Aohe alii.

This angered Hikinaakala and he sailed away. Huhu o Hikinaakala a holo aku la.

O Kulukulua ka waa alima. Hoea hou mai la he waa, ninau no o Kuapakaa i ka makuakane: “Owai keia waa?” “O Kulukulua, ke ’lii o Hilo.” Oli mai la o Kuapakaa:

Our chief of Hilo, Kulukulua, is not a chief [by birth]; He is a snarer of the shrimps of Waiakea; After the snaring, He places the outside covering of the coconut on his ears. This is the fault of the land; But since he became possessed of Hilo, He is called a chief. O ua ’lii o makou o Hilo, o Kulukulua, aohe alii; He pahelehele opae no Waiakea; A pau ke pahelehele ana, Kau ae la i ka pulu niu i ka pepeiao. O ke kee no hoi ia o ia aina, O ka ai ana ia Hilo, Olelo ia ai he ’lii.

This angered Kulukulua and he sailed off. Huhu o Kulukulua a holo aku la.

The sixth was the canoe of Wanua. Upon its approach the boy asked of Pakaa as to its owner, and Pakaa replied: “It is Wanua, the chief of Hamakua.” O Wanua ka waa aono. Hoea hou he waa, ninau no ia Pakaa, hai mai la no o Pakaa: “O Wanua, o ke ’lii o Hamakua.”

Our chief of Hamakua, Wanua. He is not a chief by birth; He is a snarer of the eels of Hamakua. The fingers with the bait are placed on the rocks, The small eels would then crawl between the fingers And the eels placed in the calabash. But since he became possessed of Hamakua He is called a chief. He is not a chief. O ua ’lii o makou o Hamakua, o Wanua, Aole alii maoli; He pahelehele puhi no Hamakua, Waiho aku na manamana lima i ka paala me ka maunu, Pii mai la ka puhi a komo i na manamana Hoolei iho la i ka ipu. O ka ai ana ia Hamakua, Olelo ia ai he ’lii; aohe alii.

This chief also became angry and sailed off. Huhu ia alii a holo aku la.

These chiefs all went on, and all angry with the boy, because he had told them that they were not chiefs by birth, and also for telling the faults relating to their respective districts. Pau na ’lii i ka holo i mua, me ko lakou inaina i ke keiki, i ka hoole ia lakou aohe alii, a i ka hai i ke kee o ka aina.

(We will now take up the facts relating to the canoe of Keawenuiaumi, aforementioned, which the narrator said should be inserted later, and was therefore out of place; care, however, should be taken in its perusal by which it may be plainly seen that the six canoes bearing the district chiefs were the first to meet the canoe of Kuapakaa.) (Maanei e hoomaka ai ka olelo no ka waa o Keawenuiaumi i olelo mua ia ae nei: aka, no ka olelo mua ana mai o ka mea malama kaao mahope o keia; nolaila, ua kau e ia na olelo no Keawenuiaumi a me kona waa mamua, aka, he pono no e noonoo i ka heluhelu ana, a malaila e maopopo ai, he mua na waa o na ’lii eono o Hawaii.)

O Lapakahoe ka mea nana i olelo mai no Keawenuiaumi ka waa; nolaila, paha aku ai o Kuapakaa, penei:

When the canoe is pushed ahead, The cause of the storm is come. Like a slanting cliff, dark and black Is the top of the Aluli mountain, because of the storm, Like black raiment that is worn Is the face of the cliffs of Kawaikapu. Running as though seeking every crevice Is the water that comes. The mountains appear to be filled, The sound is heard in the heaven, The voice is echoed back, The voice of the weeping sea, Urging onward the rising sea. Like the clouds at Kikiopua Is the flying and swimming outrigger of Malelewaa. The burden is swung to the back, Kaula looks as though climbing from behind. The cliffs of Wailau are joined and plated one on top of another, They are joined and plated, On the top of Pueohulunui, The cliffs where the owls fly. A nou ka waa, Ua hiki ke kumu ino, Ke kakai kepa, ua lauli elehiwa Ke poo o ka mauna o Aluli i ka ino, Me he aahu eleele la i lohia Ke aloalo pali o Kawaikapu, I holoa e ka holopoopoo, Moku kihe o ka wai. Pihapiha na mauna ke ike aku, Lele koha i ka lani, Ka leo o ke kuaiwa lea, Ka leo o ke kai uwe, E hoeu aku ana i ke kai awe, Ua like me ke ao i Kikiopua, Ke ama lele aukai o Malelewaa. Hoolewa ka ukana i ke kua, Pii Kua o Kaula mahope. Pali kui pali hono Wailau ma, Kui aku, hono aku ka pali, I luna o Pueohulunui, I ka pali pueo e lele la.

Kuapakaa then chanted of the storm: Alaila, paha hou o Kuapakaa no ka ino:

Gently! Gently! Gently!

Comes the rain, the wind, the storm,

From Puulenalena, from Hilo,

From Hokukano, from Waiolomea,

From the raising of the paddle from under the buttock,

At the thought, at the pebbles,

At the cutting down of the iako, at Kainaliu,

The iako at the rear,

At the opening between the two sailing masters.

Get up from your seats,

Take out your paddles,

Pull up the weight,

Watch for the waves

As they twist and rise,

As the waves twist and beat

On the outside of the canoe;

The wave is become quiet at the bow,

Swing the canoe around and let the wave pass between,

The water on the outside meet at the opening,

The wave is a welcome thing to a castaway.

But here I am, O death!

Death to you is the small wave,

Death to you is the large wave,

Death to you is the long wave,

Death to you is the short wave,

The follower of Kuloku,

The roaring, the trembling,

The waves that open up,

The waves that will perchance open up my canoe.

It will swamp. Because of the swamping of the small canoe,

The large canoe will also swamp.

Bind the paddles together,

For they will be the only burden of a swamped canoe;

The small paddle, the large paddle,

The long paddle, the short paddle;

The small bailing cup, the large bailing cup,

The long bailing cup, the short bailing cup,

The coarse bailing cup, the thin bailing cup.

After rescuing the several things from the swamped canoe,

Comes the thought to refloat the canoe.

That block of wood, this block of wood [the waves],

That rope is drawn, this rope is drawn;

Some will rush there, some will rush here,

The large wave will rise,

The small wave will break,

The sticks at the bow will fly off,

The sticks at the stern will fly off.

The priest is at last separated [from the king],

The connection is become of no value, on a day of peril,

The sea separates them, the cold is intense,

The uku is softened, that snub-nosed thing,

Your reputation, ye sailing masters,

Ye prophet and priest, is injured.

Had the sailing masters seen the star

You would have reached land.

Kiauau! Kiauau! Kiauau!

Hiki ka ua, ka ino, ka makani,

O ke ka iki, o ke ka nui,

O ke ka loa, o ke ka poko,

O ke ka peekue, o ke ka lahilahi.

Pau ka hemahema o ka waa make,

Manao hoolana ka waa.

O kela lona o keia lona,

Ume kela kaula ume keia kaula;

Holo kela kini holo keia kini,

Ku ka nalu nui,

Popoi ka nalu iki,

Lele na laau ihu,

Lele na laau hope.

Kai ka pili a ke kahuna,

Ke paa kuleana ole o ka la make,

Wehe ke kai anu ka lia,

Pulu ka uku, kela mea i koki.

Alina oukou e na hookele,

A me ke kilo, ke kahuna,

E ike ai e na hookele i ka hoku la,

I na la ua pae i uka.

Keawenuiaumi then inquired of his sailing masters, the priest and the prophet, as to their conclusion, in the matter of the coming storm, and to see if the predictions made by the boy were to come true, for the king was afraid. These men all assured the king that the words of the boy were void of the truth and were entirely false. By this assurance the king’s fear disappeared and he gave way to their advice, therefore the boy again chanted: Alaila ninau ae la o Keawenuiaumi i na hookele, ke kahuna, ke kilo, i ko lakou ike, a me na loina, i ka pono a me ka hewa, no ka mea, ua makau o Keawenuiaumi i ka olelo a ke keiki. Hoole mai la lakou, aohe oiaio o ka olelo a ke heiki, he wahahee, ma keia hoole a lakou, hoolohe aku la ke ’lii o Keawenuiaumi; nolaila, paha hou mai la ke keiki, penei:

The eyes have been covered by the sea,

They have failed to see the rows of isles.

Death you will meet in the days of Ku,

The days when the currents draw outward.

As the currents draw outward,

The open mouth of the shark will meet you,

The mouth of the shark,

The mouth of the wave,

Will close over you and you die;

You stubborn king,

Come ashore, it is stormy,

Had you come yesterday

You would have arrived in safety.

Uhi ia ae la na maka e ke kai!

Pale ka ike i ka lalani o ka moku.

Make eia i na Ku,

I na la wehe o ke au i waho.

Wehe aku auanei ke au i kai,

E hamama mai ana ka waha o ka mano,

O ka waha o ka mano,

O ka waha o ka ale,

Popoi iho ia oe la make;

Hoi uhane i Hawaii.

E ke ’lii kuli la,

E pae, he ino,

E holo ia mai i nehinei,

Ina la ua pae.

Again Keawenuiaumi inquired of his canoe men as well as of the others, saying: “How about us? Shall we land as requested by the boy, for he says, if we continue we will return to Hawaii in spirit?” The sailing masters replied: “Who is going to land on such a fine day?” Ui hou aku o Keawenuiaumi i na hoewaa a me na mea a pau loa: “Pehea kakou e pae, e like me ka olelo a ke keiki? No ka mea, ina kakou e holo, hoi uhane ia Hawaii.” Alaila, pane mai na hookele: “Na wai hoi ka pae aku o ka la malie.”

The heavens are cloudless, The shrubs are without moisture, The clouds have returned to the mountains, The wind has returned to Kumukahi, The pointed clouds have returned to Awalua, The soft breezes are wafting over the waves, The canoes have gone, a raging surf has arisen, The canoes have gone to the windy cape, The sea and the water have returned to Manawainui, Whence is the storm to come as predicted by the boy? Ua paihi o luna, Ua maloo wai ole ka nahelehele, Ua hoi ke ao a ke kuahiwi, Ua hoi ka makani a Kumukahi, Ua hoi ka opua a Awalua, Ua hoi ka pauli makani kualau, Ua hoi ka waa hooulu he kaikoo, Ua hoi ka waa i ka lae makani, Ua hoi ke kai ka wai a Manawainui, No hea hoi ka ino a ia keiki?
