Aukelenuiaiku

“ 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. ”

“ While Aukelenuiaiku was thus guarded, he one day heard the yells and shouts of the people who were gathered at the games being held by his brothers, so Aukelenuiaiku asked of Iku his father: “What is the cause of the shouting down below?” The father replied: “They are holding some wrestling matches.” “How is that game played?” “It is played by two persons. They stand up facing each other and each one tries to throw the other one down to the ground. When one is thrown the people would shout, expressing their joy. ”

“ Lonoikoualii then said to Aukelenuiaiku: “We are flying outside of the limits given us and not on the line. The fire is burning there on the earth and I see everybody has gone down below except one person.” Aukelenuiaiku asked: “Who is it that is still up here?” Lonoikoualii, his god, replied: “That thing stationed up there; fly for it and hold it fast, and then we will be saved.”
The object which the god Lonoikoualii referred to was the grandfather of Namakaokahai, Kaukihikamalama, the moon. ”

“ There is none like him.
Mai ka hoomaka ana o keia moolelo e malama ia a hiki i keia la, owai la ka mea like me ka mea hala ole me Aukelenuiaiku ka haawi wale aku i kona punawai momona no hai? Aole he mea like.
In thus giving away his wife and lands, Aukelenuiaiku reserved nothing for himself, and he therefore became like a dependent. While living in this humble way his one occupation was to go down to the seashore daily with a rod and spend his time fishing, and in time he became an expert. In his daily trips out rod fishing he often met Pele and Hiiaka, cousins of Namakaokahai. ”

“ 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. Mai keia wahi a’u e olelo nei ia oe, malaila oe e hele ai.” ”

“ We will now go back to Aukelenuiaiku and his god Lonoikoualii. When the four brothers of Namakaokahai returned to their sister, after their offer was accepted by Aukelenuiaiku, his god Lonoikoualii said to him: “These evils and death we have so far been able to overcome; the evils and death that are yet to come which are worse than these are the ones we must be careful about. When we get to the queen, your intended wife’s home, don’t enter the house at once, for it will mean your death ”

“ CHAPTER XV. How Namakaokahai Quarreled with Her Cousins Pele and Hiiaka. MOKUNA XV. Ka Hakaka ana o Namakaokahai me na Kaikaina, oia o Pele a me Hiiaka. With all Aukelenuiaiku’s smooth words, his wife did not believe him. She then said to him: “Say, cunning, do you think I am a fool, and am not aware of your doings and your deceit? I know that you have a woman whom you go down every day to see. ”

“ When the queen saw that her favorite dog was killed, she regretted his death so much that she bowed her head in grief and wept. After the death of her dog, she ordered her four brothers, Kanemoe, Kaneapua, Leapua and Kahaumana, and commanded them: “Use your power and kill this fellow. Take him and eat him up.” When Aukelenuiaiku heard this he entered the house. Upon seeing Aukelenuiaiku, the four brothers of Namakaokahai changed their forms ”

“ 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.” ”

“ Ma keia mau olelo hoi aku la no o Namakaokahai moe i ko laua hale. Lele hou ae la o Aukelenuiaiku, maloko ae o ka hale, a hoea maluna o kaupoku, a puka i waho o ka hale. Ma keia puka ana, lele no o Aukelenuiaiku a nalowale i ka lewa kiekie loa, aole hiki i na kaikoeke ke ike ae. Mahope o keia lele ana, hoi iho la o Aukelenuiaiku, a hiki i lalo, i aku na kaikoeke, “ua ike oe i ka lele.” A loaa ke kino lele ia Aukelenuiaiku, aohe mea i koe me kana wahine me Namakaokahai, ua pau loa i ke kane. ”

“ A ua hooko ia hoi kana mau olelo wanana no Aukelenuiaiku, ma keia holo ana o ka moku.
After Aukelenuiaiku had spoken to his kind brother, Ikumailani, this brother said to him: “You cannot gain your point from me. You must go to our nephew and tell him of your wish. If he gives his consent, then you will be able to go.” Aukelenuiaiku [48] then asked him: “How am I to get him to listen to me?” “You go and call him by his name in this way: ‘Say, Kaumailunaoholaniku, ask me to come up on the ship with you so that we may play together. You cannot enjoy yourself with those old men. ”

“ After the thing was settled the four birds started ahead for the house, while Aukelenuiaiku followed on behind. When the birds arrived, Namakaokahai asked: “Where is the person that you went in search of?” The brothers replied: “He is coming later. We have offered you to him as his wife so that we will have him for a brother-in-law; for he is a handsome looking man, and is perfect from top to bottom; and he is just like you. ”

“ It may be a man, may be not; what is it?” As soon as she had issued her orders, the four birds flew away. When the birds were getting ready to make their flight, Lonoikoualii said to Aukelenuiaiku: “Say, Aukelenuiaiku, here comes our death. There are four birds coming to meet us. You must greet them in the same way that you greeted the two women.”
A hiki laua i mua o ke ’lii wahine, o Namakaokahai, ninau mai la ia: “Auhea ka olua mea i huli aku nei?” I aku na wahine: “Aole i loaa ia maua, a luna maua o ka pali a me ka laau, aohe loaa iki, a uka maua, a kai maua, aohe loaa iki.” ”

“ O ke kiai o ka aina, o Moela, he ilio. Ekolu manu, o Manuea, o Kiwaha, a me Halulu. Oia na kanaka o ia aina, aohe nui, no ka mea, he pau i ka ai ia e ke ’kua.”
At the end of the remarks of the lizard to Aukelenuiaiku, she made a box to hold the god of Aukelenuiaiku. After the box was built she put the god into it, who was Lonoikoualii,10 and said to Aukelenuiaiku: “With this god you will conquer and become possessed of the land that I have just described. Here is your food and meat; it is a laukahi. This leaf is wholesome; as soon as you touch it to your lips your hunger is satisfied ”

“ He is eating our food. Who has told him where to find it? Food has been placed before him but he would not touch it.” After Aukelenuiaiku had satisfied his hunger and had seen all the things placed before him, the brothers of Namakaokahai stood up in their human forms.
Ia Aukelenuiaiku e ku ana ma ka puka o ka hale o Namakaokahai, kuu ia mai la na wahine elua, oia o Upoho, Haapuainanea. Kena aku la o Namakaokahai: “E Upoho a me Haapuainanea, ka olua make hoi.” Ia wa, huli ua mau wahine nei nana ia Aukelenuiaiku, a ike, o ke keiki i loaa mua ai ia laua, hilahila iho la laua, a holo aku la. ”

“ 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.” ”

“ Hai hou aku la no ua moo nei, i kana moopuna ia Aukelenuiaiku: “O keia aina nae, eono malama e malamalama ai, a eono malama e pouli ai; mai hele oe malaila o make oe, no ka mea, mamua aku o keia wahi, he kai omaomao, a hala ia, he kai ulaula aku, mai hele oe malaila o make oe. No ka mea, mai ko’u wa kane ole ko’u hele ana ma keia aina, a hiki i ko’u wa luahine, aole i puni ia’u. O ka inoa o ua aina la o Kalakeenuiakane, o Asia ma ka olelo haole. A o ke kuahiwi, ua kau na hoku i luna, a o na kanaka he uuku loa. ”
