“ He is a poor chief, and the most he can do for you is to serve you two.” The old men then said: “We have no riches nor property to give him in return for his service; the only great property in our keeping is the whole of the island of Hawaii; let that be our present then to the chief Umi.” Kaoleioku replied: “How can it be possible for Umi to get the kingdom, for you two have seen for yourselves that the men are not of sufficient number to go to battle? In case of war Hakau will probably be victorious, for he has all the men at his command, and owns the whole of Hawaii.” ”

“ I aku o Kakuhihewa: “Aole anei oe e lohe, aole e loaa aku ka malo, a loaa kuu inoa?” I aku o Loli: “Ua olelo aku nei wau pela, aka, olelo mai nei kela, me ka ninau mai: ‘Owai ka inoa o Kakuhihewa?’ Hai aku nei wau: ‘O Kealialia liu o Mana.’ I mai nei kela: ‘O Kealialia liu o Mana inoa nei no o Lonoikamakahiki la;’ a pela mai ua alii la ia’u, a oia la.” A no keia olelo ana aku a Loli pela, alaila, ninau ae la o Kakuhihewa ia Lanahuimihaku ma: “No ke alii io anei o Hawaii keia inoa?” I aku o Lanahuimihaku ma: “He wahahee, aole ona inoa e like me keia, he alii inoa ole; mai makau oe pili ia aku.” ”

“ In the meantime those men who had returned secretly to Kauai, Kaialea’s paddlers and the man who had charge of the canoe, arrived there and were questioned by Hooipoikamalanai: “Where are the rest of you?” They replied: “Don’t think that our return means well; no, there is nothing to rejoice over. Kaialea is in confinement in the temple of Pakaalana, as well as some of the people that came later. They are all in confinement. We cannot speak of their fate. If they have been put to death, then they are dead by this time. If they are still living, then they live through the mercy of God.” ”

“ A lohe kela i keia mau olelo a Aukelenuiaiku, aloha mai la ia: “E walina hoi ia oe e kuu haku. Heaha kau huakai o ka hiki ana mai?” Olelo aku o Aukelenuiaiku: “I kii mai nei au i ka wai ola loa a Kane, no kuu keiki a me o’u kaikuaana.” Ninau mai o Kanenaiau: “Ua pau loa nae paha?” I aku o Aukelenuiaiku: “Aole i pau.” I mai la kela: “Nana ia i kuu piko.” Ia Aukelenuiaiku e nana ana i ka piko, kuhikuhi mai la kela i ke ala e lele ai. “Auhea oe, mai lele ma keia aoao o pa oe i ka ohe, no ka mea, ina e pa ka ohe, o ka halulu no ia o ka ohe, a lohe ko kaikuaana, paa ka wai, aole e loaa mai ia oe. ”

“ Piimaiwaa sought in various ways to learn the source of Imaikalani’s great strength, and the skill with which he threw the long spear with such unerring aim, and the stroke of his war club that would rip one open from head to buttocks. Piimaiwaa discovered the source of Imaikalani’s skill and the daring bravery of this blind man to be by means of the wild ducks hovering above, for when the birds made a noise and the blind man heard it, either in front, or behind, or on the sides, then he (the blind man) would say: “There is a man behind.” ”

“ He approached Kualii and said: “There is going to be a battle today.” When Kualii heard the messenger he replied: “Why did they send you? If you wish to make war come and do so, I shall not prevent it. You know well enough that I have not as yet acquired the art of warfare. All would have been well if there was reason for this. With all this lack of reason, still you come and make war on a mere youngster whose bones are not even matured. You go back and ask Lonoikaika what is my fault.” Hema, the messenger, replied: “I have heard of your fault. ”

“ Mahope o laila, hai aku la na keiki ia Kuwahailo: “He olelo ka makou i hoouna ia mai nei e ko kaikamahine e hai aku ia oe.” Ninau aku o Kuwahailo: “Heaha kana olelo ia oukou?” Eia kana olelo ia makou: “O luna, o lalo, o uka, o kai, maluna ko hunona, malalo aku oe e noho ai, a me na mea a pau loa.” Ma keia mau olelo a na keike he mea oluolu loa ia i ko Kuwahailo manao, ae mahope o keia olelo ana, ahaolelo iho la lakou. Ma keia ahaolelo ana, hele mai la o Makalii e halawai me Aukelenuiaiku. Ma keia hele ana mai o Makalii, hele pu mai la me kana wahine me Malanaikuaheahea. ”

“ When the preparation was complete, Kihapiilani boarded the canoe and they set sail for Hawaii, to meet his sister Piikea and his brother-in-law Umi. That same evening they landed at Waipio. As soon as they landed, Kihapiilani proceeded to the house where Piikea was living and entered it. When his sister saw him, she sprang on him and wept. At the end of their weeping Piikea asked: “How are you getting along with your brother?” Kihapiilani answered his sister, saying: “We do not get along at all; my brother ill-treats me; he gets angry, abuses me, and has no love for me. ”

“ A olelo mai la ia Aukelenuiaiku: “O ko akua no nei puni ko aina ia oe; eia ko ai a me ko ia, o Laukahi. He lau maona, pa no i ka lehelehe maona; o ka manawa e maona ai, eha malama e noho ai, alaila, ai hou.” Lalau iho la ua kupunawahine nei i ke koi, a me ka pahi, a hahao iho la i loko o ka pahu, a ooki iho la i kona huelo, a haawi aku la i ka moopuna, i aku la: “O kuu kino maoli keia, oia ka ia oe, a o kuu pau ai kaua, a me kuu kahili ai kaua no ko kaikuahine ia. O ke ano o keia, ina e pau i kuu pau, a kahili i kuu kahili ai kaua, haule i lalo, lilo na kanaka i lehu.” ”

“ When Umi heard this, he said: “I don’t think it proper for us to go and make war on Piilani, because he is your own brother; he is not connected to you from a distance, a mere relative.” Piikea said: “If you will not give your consent to my request, to go and make war on Piilani, then it would be far better for me to die than to live.” At this, Umi decided that he must obey his wife’s demand and so he gave his consent. Umi then summoned his war counselors, Omaokamau, Piimaiwaa and Koi, and gave them orders to prepare the fleet of war canoes for a trip to Maui to make war on Piilani. ”

“ When he came in the presence of Keawenuiaumi and Lonoikamakahiki, Lonoikamakahiki spoke up saying: “You have been requested to come here because I have been told that you are an old man who is learned in the things of the future and can tell whether a chief will become rich or poor; therefore I want you to make an examination of me and tell me what I am to be in the future.” [266] Kawaamaukele then replied: “You are going to be a wealthy chief at times, but when you reach maturity then you will become poor, in that you will be without followers; but you are going to be a brave chief.” ”

“ While looking on they often heard praises of Paiea and his great skill in the use of the surf board. Umi approached one of the people of the place and whispered to him: “Is that the best Paiea can do, just to rise up with the surf and fall back again? That is not the way surf is ridden in our land. One must ride clear to the edge of the beach before he can be called an expert.” ”

“ Because of this reply made by Lonoikamakahiki, Kakuhihewa therefore asked of Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “Is the fish caught by the king of Hawaii really an ahi?” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “The king of Hawaii is deceiving us. Don’t you know that everybody knows that no ahi can be caught in Oahu, and that such fish can only be caught at Niihau and Hawaii fishing stations? Make a wager with him.” ”

“ KA HOI ANA O AUKELENUIAIKU I LALO, ME NA KANAKA.
When Aukelenuiaiku and the men reached the bottom [of the cliff] , Kiwaha again took up the rainbow and placed it on the cliff. After this Aukelenuiaiku asked the men: “What do you want?” They each answered: “I want a piece of sugar-cane.” “I want a potato.” “I want a banana.” “I want a taro.” Aukelenuiaiku then said to them: “The sugar-cane is kapued for my son. If any one eats it he will die. So are the potatoes, the bananas and the taro. So I will advise each of you not to touch these things as we go on our way, else you will all die.” ”

“ While Aukelenuiaiku was sleeping, Moela arrived, the dog who had the watching of all the land, and when he smelled the blood of the stranger he began to bark. While the dog was barking, Namakaokahai came out of the house and called out to her four bird brothers. When they came before her, she said: “You must go in search of this thing that the dog is barking at; it is possible that one of the men from the ship has come ashore. I cannot make out what the dog is barking at.” ”

“ O na mea mua e kuu ia mai i mua ou, na wahine i hele mua ae ai, a i aloha mai laua ia oe, pakele oe (oia keia aloha walina) ; a hala ia make ou, alaila, kuu ia mai ka ilio; a hala ia make, o na kaikunane mai.

Eia kau ai e ai ai oe, o ka ipu e ulu ana me ke ka a me ka lau, aia i laila ka ai, ka ia, ka wai.” O keia mau mea a pau loa ka ke akua o Aukelenuiaiku i olelo mai ai ia ia, a Lonoikoualii. ”

“ A pau na olelo a Omaokamau, ninau mai o Umi: “Pehea ke ano o ia alii wahine? He wahine maikai no ia alii wahine?” Ae aku o Omaokamau: “Ae, he ’lii wahine maikai loa ia, aole wahine ma Hawaii nei i like me Piikea; he kaikamahine opiopio wale no; maikai kona mau helehelena ke nana aku, mai ka piko o ke poo, a hala i lalo i na wawae.” Ma keia lohe ana o Umi, nui iho la kona olioli, a me ka makemake e ike ia Piikea, a kauoha aku la ia i na kanaka a pau loa e hoomakaukau i na mea a pau loa, maloko o na anahulu elua. ”

“ Why didn’t you sleep at Kauai instead of coming and sleep on the island of Halalii where the spirits live? You are as good as dead, there is no escape; your flesh, your bones, your bowels, your blood, your eyes, will all be eaten up. ”

“ A makaukau ka hoi o Omaokamau i Hawaii, kauoha mai la o Piikea i kana olelo aloha ia Omaokamau, penei: “E Omaokamau, ke hoi la oe a hiki i mua o ke alo o ke ’lii nui nona ke aupuni o Hawaii, e aloha aku oe iaia. A owau nei hoi, o kana kauwa wahine, e like me ka mea i oluolu i kona manao, pela e lilo ai i loko o’u i mea iini na ko’u naau, a e lilo ana paha ia i mea hiaa no ko’u po, ke moe iho. A hiki i ko’u wa e holo aku ai e ike i na maka o kuu haku, elua anahulu e hala ia’u ma Maui nei, alaila, holo aku wau.” ”

“ While they were all together Kila asked his mother and aunt: “Have you any children?” Hooipoikamalanai answered: “Yes, we have children. There are two of us mothers and one father. We have five children; I have three with our husband. This one, which is Umalehu, is the first-born; then his brother, Kaialea, who is now in confinement; and then the youngest, Kila, who is now dead. He was eaten up by a shark, while on an expedition to Haena with his brothers for the purpose of bringing back the bones of their father which were to be taken to Tahiti later on. ”

“ The boy saw at once that no time would be wasted by the Kauai people nor would they allow him time to prepare himself although he knew that that was a part of the profession; but they did not, however, find him unprepared, the boy immediately replied: “You must then remain in there, you full-grown men until you die. Eat up what food you have, obey the calls of nature, and eat, you must die within for you cannot come out.” ”

“ When Hakau saw them, he said: “The Hilo travelers have returned.” The old men replied: “Yes,” and they then paid their respects to the king, greeting him. After a while Hakau asked the old men: “Have you two seen Umi?” They replied: “Yes, we have seen him.” Hakau again asked: “How is he getting along?” “He is still living with his guardian, Kaoleioku.” The old men then continued: “That is the reason of our return; a kapu for your god must be declared and feathers procured.”20 Hakau then said: “Why so? Isn’t such a thing done only when war is expected? ”

“ Mainele took the first shot, and when the people looked they saw that the arrow had entered into ten rats, so they shouted, “Mainele has won! Mainele has won!” Pikoiakaalala then sarcastically remarked to Mainele: “How awkward! It is easy enough to hit the rat in the body because the object is large. I thought you were going to shoot at the whiskers in order to prove your great skill, but I see I am mistaken.” Mainele answered: “You are a deceitful boy. From the day I first began shooting rats until this day, I have never seen a man who could shoot at the rats’ whiskers.” ”

“ I aku la ia ia Aukelenuiaiku: “E ka moopuna, e nana oe.” Nana iho la o Aukelenuiaiku. Alaila, i mai la ua moo nei: “He mau aina keia e ku nei i loko o ka lau ape, he aina nui, he aina uuku, he aina mahana, he aina wela, he aina anu. O keia mau aina nae elua, o Holaniku, o Holanimoe, he mau aina maikai loa keia, he nui na pono o ke kanaka e noho ai, he ai, he ia, he ko, he uala, he maia, he awa, he ulu, a me na mea ai kupono a pau loa.

“ If it is simple robbery of others’ food, or of others’ property, then severe punishment shall be meted out to the person who violated the law. A transgressor,326 or one who is about to die, is, under the application of this law exonerated of his death or other penalty. Through the uprightness of his [Kualii’s] law, and the honesty with which he administered the government, God preserved him, so that he lived a long life, and his is that notable life spoken of in the annals of the ancient people, of the king of Oahu, who lived four times forty and fifteen years. ”

“ Kaikilani did not make answer to the question put by her husband, however, but continued in her deception, by saying: “This here is won; that is on the run, steady progress, the top is falling, the blacks are indistinct; the whites have won.” At this, Lonoikamakahiki took up the konane board and struck his wife on the head, inflicting painful wounds, but not severe enough, however, to kill her.
Mahope iho o ka lohe ana o Lonoikamakahiki i keia leo, alaila, ninau aku oia i ka wahine kaikuahine ona: “E, aloha mai la nae hoi ko ipo ia oe o Heakekoa.” ”

“ Ia wa pana o Mainele, ku he umi iole i ka pana hookahi ana, kanikani pihe ka aha e nana ana, “Eo ia Mainele! Eo ia Mainele!” Olelo aku o Pikoiakaalala, me ka hoonaukiuki ia Mainele: “Hawawa! A e pono no paha ke ku ma ke kino o ka iole he aka nui; kai no paha i ka umiumi o ka iole e pana ai, akaka la hoi ke akamai, aole ka!” Olelo mai o Mainele: “Keiki hoopunipuni oe.

“ Ia wa o Kaialea ma kahi paa i mua o ke Alii, ninau aku la oia: “Mai hea mai oe? A heaha kau hana i hiki mai ai maanei?” I aku la o Kaialea: “No Kauai mai wau, a no ka pau ana o ko makou mau aina i ka wi, aole he ai, nolaila hoounaia mai nei wau e holo mai i Hawaii nei i ai na makou, a oia wale no ko’u mea i hiki mai ai maanei; aole hoi i manao e, e haoia ana na waa.” ”

“ Lonoikamakahiki replied: “Why should they refuse to give me hook and line? Only the ignorant will refuse to give hook and line.” The attendant said: “Yes, that would be the proper way of reasoning if things were right between you, but as things stand now they do not think well of you, for you have beaten them, and for this reason they will refuse giving you what you ask.” ”

“ Some time after this his brothers-in-law said to him: “Today you will realize the blessings of the deity.” After a while he was asked: “Say, has your wife given you the power to change yourself into different forms?” Aukelenuiaiku replied: “Yes.” “What different forms did she give you?” “The power to change into a cliff, into an ocean, and into fire.” The brothers-in-law replied: “Then she has not given you all her powers. She has kept to herself the power to fly.” ”

“ Moikeha then addressed his sons, saying: “You two,” turning to the oldest, “will never amount to much. This your youngest brother will be the most prosperous of you all.”
O Moikeha ka makuakane, o Hooipoikamalanai ka makuahine, o Kapaa i Kauai ka aina, oia kahi o Kila i hanau ai. Ekolu lakou o ka hanau ana, o Kila ka muli. I ko lakou wa kamalii, he hooholoholo waa ka hana i ka muliwai o Wailua, a i ka wa nae e hakoko ai me na kaikuaana, na Kila no ka eha o na kaikuaana. A mahope, hailona o Moikeha i na keiki ana, i akaka ko lakou mea ikaika, a koa. ”

“ In this flight to heaven, Aukelenuiaiku did not think that he was going to meet anyone who would oppose him, and consequently he went along unguarded; but through the powers of his god Lonoikoualii he was warned in time, for the god called out to him: “Say, Aukelenuiaiku, watch or else we will be killed, for I see that we are going to be attacked. Put on your garment of ashes and cover yourself from head to feet; don’t be slow or we will be killed.” By this warning Aukelenuiaiku knew that a conflict was about to begin, and he immediately put on his war pau. ”

“ Aukelenuiaiku then jumped and held it for a while, then fell to the floor. In this falling, Namakaokahai heard it, and she got up and came to her brothers’ house, and asked them: “What are you doing?” “We are learning how to box.” “What is that?” “It is played this way. Kanemoe stands up like this on this side, and Kaneapua stands up on that side; then they strike at each other, and the one who gets hit real hard falls to the floor. That was the noise you heard.” When Namakaokahai heard this she said: “I see that my husband has some good thing hidden that he has not shown me. ”
