The Holy Bible. BY KANUI. The Holy Bible, Precious and wonderfully rich, Being published throughout our country. There is nothing like the precious pearl It is an everlasting gift for God’s people; 5. Those who go prepared With spear, sword and cudgel. The Holy Bible, you are precious, Your word is accepted by your believers here. It is sweet, like honey from heaven above: 10. Your strength is like a two-edged sword. You have been cutting in all lands, The hardened minds and averted eyes. Stop, put away tobacco and all evil things. The Holy Bible, 15. Your beauty was seen from the earliest teachers On the hills and on the mountains, In the valleys and ponds; The hill of Zion, the lake of Liberia; The mountain of Gerizim and the valley of Laneka (?). 20. O the Holy Bible, here it is; We have seen with [our] two eyes. There is nothing to be compared [to it] for the peoples uplift. Where is the people ruling, to govern The distorted mind of the Hawaiians, 25. Whereby they would walk uprightly as you desire? Where is the carpenter who proposed this ruling? The rule to straighten the gnarled trees? O the carpenter! search and you will find. There is the uprightness and justness; 30. Take and place [it] in your minds In order to judge the right and the wrong; To distinguish the upright and the crooked. Where is the blacksmith who really believed In his solid hammer 35. Striking heavily The hard iron bars of the mind of the people? There is no one else to break them but you. The Holy Bible, you possess good; You are the weapon which makes the soldier brave. 40. Through you came forth death and the resurrection. Where indeed is the captain Who considers this instruction The correct compass, So that their boats should not be wrecked 45. On the coral strands beyond Where they are sailing? Here is the good leader, The true guide to reach The port of the King in New Jerusalem. 50. Therefore, the precious truths we hear Is plainly set forth in the Holy Bible; It is good, beautiful, there are many blessings. Where is the great mirror To reveal all things within? 55. Here is the right mirror For God’s people; Those who look honestly would see all their faults; The envious, the quarrelsome are revealed here, Therefore, [there is] no hammer, no rule, 60. No compass, or mirror, No advisor, no guide for the soul To reach unto heaven But the Holy Bible. Ka Palapala Hemolele. NA KANUI.

The Ignorant. BY PAALUA. You are the ignorant! To look and direct the people wrongly. You are a blinded leader of them And also a general for them, The one who taught them 5. There is life over there; there is death over there. There is the lie. The sinner; the father of the unbelievers; The one who taught them I am the Life, and I am the one to punish 10. Those who do not believe on me. But! Your thoughts are foolish, You taught with cunning, Show us the right way; Teach us with wisdom. 15. But I have cunning. You were smart in teaching. Alas! you are worthless. Show yourself with forwardness; refute the wrongs. You are the death. The general of the pit of fire; 20. You are springing like a lion Searching for something to swallow, Like a lioness waiting at the den. So you are the sinner, You are leaping like a real lion, 25. And you are swallowing it as you desired. No ka Naaupo. NA PAALUA. O oe e ka naaupo! Ke nana e ao mai i ka poe hewa He alakai makapo oe no lakou He alihikaua no hoi no lakou Ka mea nana e kuhikuhi mai ia lakou 5. Aia ke ola ma o, aia ka make ma o Aia ka hoopunipuni.

A ke ale io mai nei no oe ia e like me kou manao.
The Ignorant. BY KAUWAHI. You are an ignorant; The teacher teaching the people wrong. You are a blind guide for them, A general indeed for them! You are the sinner; 5. The father of the ungodly Who tempted all persons; The enemy of the righteous. You are the death. Where is your power? 10. I liken you to a lion Springing upon us. You indeed are the wise one Who called the ignorant people. Persevere you; seek wisdom, 15. So that you can rightly direct your living. You are the true believer; The one who calleth on the indifferent To repent right away, Or you will fall quickly to darkest night. 20. You indeed are the careless one; The one who taught us To change to carelessness. Alas! you are a barren land. You indeed are the ungodly, 25. The one who denied God. Do not you deny like that; You must consider it first. You indeed are the life; The one who enlightened the wicked; 30. The light which leadeth Unto everlasting darkness. You are the adulterer. The deadly pit of the Hawaiians. Alas for us! should we follow after you, 35. You would be greatly delighted. You indeed, who are all sinners, We have nothing with which to refute [you]. Alas for us! should we sink together with you To everlasting death; death of the dark night. 40. No ka Naaupo. NA KAUWAHI. O oe e ka naaupo, Ke kumu ao mai i ka poe hewa Ke alakai makapo oe no lakou He alihikaua no hoi no lakou. O oe hoi e ka hewa 5.

O oe hoi e ka palaka Ka mea ao mai ia makou E huli mai oe i ka palaka, Auwe! he kula neoneo oe. O oe hoi e ka aia 25. Ka mea hoole i ke Akua Alia oe e hoole pela E noonoo pono oe mamua.

Kamapuaa’s Prayer. A Fragment The rain is descending here, My flesh-god in the heavens, The wreath ladder of Paoa That separates the rain and the sun In the atmosphere, 5. In the great broad smoke-columns, Falling down from heaven to earth, Opening the heavens to rain, Kiouli-Kiomea was born; Kauakahi-iki-poo-waiku was born; 10. Kahakaa-kelu— Kepolohaina, Kuliaikekaua, Lonomakaihe, Lono-iki aweawealoha, 15. Lonopuakau, Apanapoo, Pooilolea. O Kanikawi, O Kanikawa, O Kumahumahukolo, O Kolokaaka, Thou defending gods of Kama, 20. Cause the rain to flow. Pule a Kamapuaa. He Apana Iho mai ana ka ua ilalo nei, E kuu kino akua i ka lani, E ka haka lei o Paoa. E mahele ana e ka ua e ka la, E ka alewalewa, 5.

O Kepolohaina, O Kuliaikekaua, O Lonomakaihe, O Lono-iki aweawealoha, 15. O Lonopuakau, O Apanapoo, o Pooilolea, E Kanikawi, e Kanikawa, E Kumahumahukolo, e Kolokaaka, E na akua hooheu o Kama la—e— 20. Homai ana he ua!
Puna Spread with Fertility. Puna spread with fertility, rich in fragrance, Expanding the woods of Panaewa in the rain, A rain, a steady rain for the lehua, A prevailing lehua aspect through much moisture For the hala blossom friend of Kaulumano. 5. Hilo arises [calling] a breeze, a fragrance, A fragrance as of passing over lehua, twice. Vain [was the] cold wind of Omaolena, Revealing toward dawn the cliffs. Many were the falling streamlets; 10. The brook of Palikaua flowed slowly. Place on the platform of desire, The place of the thoughts to dwell in, It is love’s dwelling place For Kamehameha. 15. Being handled, red cross [was] the wood, All lama, singing by the falling of the rain. Reddened is the skin of the ohelo by the sun, Sparkling red in the grass [is the] sacred child; A reservoir for the running water loosing itself; 20. A house for the flowers to stand; A place for the lehua to hang up. Place choice fragrant flowers on the person; As one with waving hair; The shining straight leaf of the fern; 25. The fern leaf of the dark fern; A fern, of wild growth only. If you attempted to go there, Desiring the top of the ti leaves, Jealous of the swelling of the kukui, 30. A different comfort had the awapuhi. The eye delighteth in the beauty of the woods, There was no fault in looking with your eyes, Beauty covered all my mountains, Wasted by the birds are my lehua flowers; 35. Shaken and fallen down, Reaching there, Kaliu descended with his offering, Shedding tears, weeping for love For Kamehameha. Puna Lau Momona. Puna lau momona ala kuhinia Ka liko ka nahele o Panaewa i ka ua He ua, he ua hoonou paa no ka lehua He lehua maka aulii halana wai No ka ipo hinalo hala a Kaulumano 5.

He lau palai no palai uli He palai he nahelehele wale no Ke hoohele aku oe malaila Makemake aku i ka muo o ka lauki Makee aku i ka liko o ke kukui 30. Nanea okoa no i kaawapuhi Oa ka maka i ka nani o ka laau Aohe hala o ka maka i nana He nani wale no a na’u mauna Maunaia iho la e ka manu kuu pua lehua 35. Luhia iho la helelei ilalo Hiki ae la, ua iho la uka Kaliu He liu waimaka ue ue aloha. Na Kamehameha.
Beautiful is Waialeale. Beautiful is Waialeale in the sky. Sea-waves absorb many waters. The head of Kapaeloa is reached by Keolewa, flying as a bird. Haupu is like a kite to me, 5. Flying kite-like in the heavens; Eyes is it of the sailing canoe. O thou! Why went you away, the companion? Upsetting the water to anoint the bed. That man is satisfied through love, 10. Swollen as a snow-covering garment. The snow girdled the summit, Uniting the shoulders of my mountains, The front and back [of] Kahaliukua, Diffusing the akoa tears, offensive water of the mist. 15. Bright is Waimea; Kohala has cliffs; you are above [them]. A canoe is the property of man, The freighting resembles the high platform; Loaded, it groans with its burden. Nani Waialeale. Nani Waialeale i ka lani Kai ale hanini ka wai kini Ke poo o Kapaeloa i hiki Keolewa lele e—me he manu la Me he pea la ia’u Haupu 5. E lele kaha lupe ana i ka lai Na maka ia a ka waa holo.—O oe e— I holo i ahaia la ke hoa? I kaulia i ka wai, i hinu i ka moe Mimiko ia kanaka he aloha 10. Opuopu me he kapa lele hau la I hau kakoo i ke kuahiwi He pane hono no a’u mauna He alo he kua Kahaliukua O kuu ka waimaka akoa, wai hauna i ke kewai 15.
