Reading edition

O Lono in heaven; you of the many shapes (or beings). The long cloud, the short cloud, the cloud just peeping (over the horizon), the wide-spreading cloud, the contracted cloud in the heavens, (coming) from Uliuli, from Melemele, from Kahiki, from Ulunui, from Hakalauai, from the country of Lono situated in the upper regions, in the high heavens, in proper order, in the famous order of Leka. O Lalohana, O Olepuu-Kahonua, Eh Ku, Eh Lono, Eh Kane, Eh Kanaloa, Eh the God from Apapalani of Apapa-nuu, from Kahiki east, from Kahiki west; here is the sacrifice, here is the offering. Preserve the chief, preserve the worshipers, and establish the day of light on the floating earth! Amama, ua noa.1
