A NAME FOR W. P. LELEIOHOKU.

This is a name for Hoku.
Said the visitor,
The young stalwart of Peking.
He is the foremost one
Of the knowledge class; 5.
He sought wisdom.
Are you emerging here
To preserve my rare one?
And Hoku is his name.

This is a song for Hoku, 10.
Kaililauokekoa it was asked:
Where are you going?
Enamored of the bird-catcher
The bird spoke up, saying:
He has gone with Makaweli. 15.

This is a name for Hoku,
Laieikawai it was that said:
A feather cape is mine,
She had been quiet
Up above at Paliuli. 20.

This is a song for Hoku.
Hopoe it was that spoke,
The woman twisting wonderfully;
Here comes Pele also,
The wizard of Kilauea 25.
Who will sweep off the trembling earth.

This is a song for Hoku,
And it was Laka who asked
For a wreath garland,
Stringing sufficient for the head, 30.
Decorating your neck,
The woman who watched flowers
Up above the hill.

HE INOA NO W. P. LELEIOHOKU.

He inoa no keia la no Hoku,
E makaikai olelo mai,
Ka ui o Pekina.
Ka helu ekahi ia
O ka papa naauao; 5.
Nana e noiau aku.
Puku mai ai oe ianei
E ola no kuu iwa?
A o Hoku no he inoa.

He inoa no keia la no Hoku. 10.
O Kaililauokekoa ka i olelo mai,
E naue ana mahea?
A ka puni o ke kia manu
Na ka manu i olelo mai:
Ua lilo me Makaweli. 15.

He inoa keia la no Hoku.
Laieikawai ka i olelo mai
I kapa hulumanu ko’u.
Nana e hoolai aku
Ka uka o Paliuli. 20.

He inoa keia la no Hoku,
Hopoe ka i olelo mai
Ka wahine ami kupanaha
Eia mai no Pele,
Ke kupua o Kilauea, 25.
Nana e pulumi aku naueue ka honua.
He inoa no keia la no Hoku,
A o Laka ka i olelo mai

Kui a lawa ke poo, 30.

Ka wahine kiai pua
O uka o ke kualono.

SONG TO KAUIKEAOULI.

Kupahipahoa [1974] is the chief, the king,
The king of heavenly brightness,
That heavenly flame shines increasingly;
A chief of the projecting stone-cliff.
Lonokaeho had several stone foreheads, [1975] 5.
Lono’s [1976] forehead was anointed with coconut juice, [1977]
[He was] recognized by the black pig [1978] of Kane;
The sacred black pig and awa [1979] of Lono.
O Lono!
Here is your chief eye, your leaf, your bud, 10.
Your light, your child, your sacred chief,
O Kahaipiilani!
Yours on the back [1980] others will care for.
Take care of the leaf, the flower (child) of Keaka;
The restless child of Kaikilani’s [1981] weakness, 15.
Whose restless child he was.
Kanaloa’s [1982] was the dark colored dog,
His eyes were blackened that
It penetrated the eye-ball;
The forehead was marked with variegated stripes, [1983] 20.
Indicating high kapu;
The kikakapu was substituted for kapuhili, [1984]
The time that chief ended.

MELE NO KAUIKEAOULI.

O ke Kupahipahoa ka lani, ke ’lii.
O ke ’lii aoa lani, ao aa,
He a ia mau lani kumakomako,
He lani no ka huku maka palipohaku.
He mau lani pohaku na Lonokaeho, 5.
No Lono ka lae i ponia i ka wai niu,
I haua i ka puaa hiwa a Kane,
I ka puaa hiwa, puawa hiwa a Lono.
E Lono e!
Eia ko maka lani, ko lau, ko muo, 10.
Ko ao, ko liko, ko ’lii kapu.
E Kahaipiilani.
Ko ma ke kua, na hai e malama,
Malama ia ka lau, ka pua o Keaka.
Ka pua ololo, hemahema o Kaikilani, 15.

O ke kikakapu o ku ia kapuhili
Au wahiawahi ia lani.

KEELIKOLANI.

BY PIPI.

The standing coral of the shallow sea, the chief,
Overturning waves of the dark deep sea,
Diving its crest there as a porpoise
According to their kapu.
Diminishing numerous noises of the chief. 5.
Kahiki scattering timber.
Exceedingly long is the chief
Kaumakamano, a shark, a shark for chiefs.
In one season the kapu passed;
May be Kekelaokalani was kapu also. 10.
The poison plant it was, yellowing the sea.
Stupifying the fish, deadened by the intoxicating plant;
Fluttering on the surface of the sea,
A moving sea; a cross, chasing sea.
Kahiwalele kapued the chief Keelikolani; 15.
Kauiki stands bare in the wind,
Trembling by the sea of Kaihalulu,
Greatly increased by the wind,
Waiting for the paiolopawa rain
On the stricken back of the Koholalele. 20.
The dark shadow of Nalualele leaps seaward,
Reducing gradually the lauawa [wind].
Hana was water-whitened as the fern changed
The malos of Kama in Kualihau.
Perhaps so, without falsehood, be patient till more follows. 25.
Excepting Auhi, Kahikinui escaped,
Taken by the force of the naulu [wind];
Grown are the flowers scattered by the wind;
Destroyed are the shoots of the aalii,
Scorched by the sun. 30.
Lualailua of the plain,
Waiahualele fluttering, the fire of kula attracts the eye.
Suddenly brightened up above Koanaulu!
Yes, perhaps, without falsehood to be set aside.
Except Wailuku in the shade of Kuawa 35.
In the contentions of Kaiaiki with Kaahaaha,
Niua was cold; the grass waved towards the sea.
Calm was the channel within Hupukoa,
Withheld was the spray of the sea;
A sea-spray for Papale 40.
Stirred up by the salt sea seeking [the] roots of green verdure,
Perhaps so, without falsehood to be set aside.

BY NAHEANA.

Kamakaku stands surrounded with kapus,
Kahanaipea kapued Kauhiakama,
He was the kite flown in the top branches, the top branches,
[The] kapu spy of the chief.
Chiefs who had not been divided. 5.
They are related to other chiefs,
They are joined, without place of separation,
There is no place for division among the chiefs:
They are established, steadfast.
It was thick, very thick, 10.
It was compassed with kapus, a rank,
A grade related to the Awaawapuhi,
Bitter, sour, without sweetness;
The matured salt sea, leaving a bad taste [in] the mouth.
Kalanikauleleiaiwi, cross of the greatness of Kekela, 15.
That was the leaf which protruded.
The sacred under-wing twin feathers;
The clear desire, the time [of] the chief,
The bird that flies,
The sacred Kaulu, 20.
The large hillock of Iwikauikaua.
The coral in midst of the depth;
The eyes were frightened to behold;
Becoming dizzy, dimsighted was the vision,
The chief’s kapa shelf, of his food place. 25.
The order of the chiefs conformed with the rank of high chiefs,
Standing thickly together, as shell-fish, in a sacred place.
It was prostration kapu.
They were not unkind, they were fearless chiefs;
Not cowardly, not decorated, 30.
Not crooked, they were unfaltering.
During the day, Keakamahana, vigilant and fresh,
Vigorous and increasing,
Resembled the Iliee.
The chief Kupuapaikalaninui 35.
[Was] the ancestor.
Keolewa stood, kiliopu was the wind
Rippling the flowing water
Reduced and cut off [by] Kamaluakele,
The pleasant path with three hills. 40.
Koolau was robbed and turned to the cliffs,
Transforming upon Kamahualele.
Quickly arises malamalamaiki, a wind.
Kalawakua stands here;
At Kalalau the mended bones were again broken. 45.
May be so, without falsehood to be set aside.
Except Puna, broken by the wind,
Filled, satisfied by the comfort of Makaiki
Up above Koholalele, there was slaughtering
In all the lands at Mailehuna. 50.
Twisted about [is] the kalukalu (grass) of Kapaa,
Spreading over the breadth of Kaipuhaa,
The depth, the width of Kewa.
Broken up by the kiuwailehua wind,
Cleared at the Koolau plain of the thatch, 55.
Perhaps so, without deceit of future revealing.
Fading, shadowy is Kaluwai
Pressed by the fountain of the chief Kuua,
Touched and held with love water,
Simply resting at Koamano. 60.
There was no flowing at Kalauae,
It was the breath arising at Kolokini,
Falling over at the cliff of Makana
Are the rivulets of Kapona,
The collar bone of Makuaiki. 65.
Perhaps so, without falsehood to be set aside.

LEGEND OF KANA AND MOI.

Moi was the priest of Kapeepee,
Here is the fault of this chief,
He took the wife of Hoakalanileo,
The father of Kana.
Then Moi slept in spirit; 5.
He saw Niheu coming towards him
With a wooden pike,
And brandishing his mantle, but did not turn away.
Kana thereupon called to him from heaven,
Bidding him turn thither. 10.
Thereafter that man thrust his hands
And turned his mantle the other side out,
Wherefore Moi dreaded this man
Lest he should push the mountain down.
Then Moi awoke with a shiver 15.
And said unto the chief, chanting forth:
Heedest thou the prediction?
Who is the chief deaf at the hidden language,
In the dream of me, the priest, in the day time?
The land flees, the frames are thrown into confusion. 20.
Yield my younger brother, for the drums stand in line,
The fences are being overleaped, the unus are being given to destruction;
The moi is being lifted to the altar whereon is the banana of Palila.
The sun has risen above the mountain;
It rose, with eyes like the moon in brightness. 25.
In his view he fled,
As if the eyes belonged to the aloa.
The earth was lightened [by his eyes],
The fowls quarreled in the night.
The great moving body that conquered through reinforcement. 30.
It’s being so the land was heated.
The coconut grove is by the sea;
The kalo patch is in the upland;
The fish-pond of Molokai is in front.
The coconut of Mauluku, of Mauluko. 35.
Of Kaluaaha, of Kaluakanaka, of Kaluakahiko,
Of Mapulehu, of Mapuna, of Pukoo, of Pukooiki, of Pukoonui,
The four Pukoos are all enumerated.
Rushed, rushed is the current by Hoakalanileo.
Nihoa is a land whereto the soldier returned, 40.
Kapeepee, the warrior of Haupu.
Ye above, fight not longer,
Lest ye be dead and defeated,
The heavenly multitude are all conquered;
They have all been struck down. 45.
They all rose up;
They are all knocked down;
They are all killed.
The mist cloud has appeared,
Should a cloud be seen, ’tis on Molowekea. 50.
If the girdle was seen ’twas at Haupu,
The bosom was at Kalawao,
The back was at Helaniku.
Kana traversed the golden sand of Kane:
Hooila is this season. 55.
Mokapu arose and his train saw him to be a man.
The end of it.
The kingdom became Nua’s
According to the dream of the priest.
’Tis the first instance where cowardice was felt; 60.
Haupu is trembling as if with cold.

PRAYER OF MALAEHAAKOA

IN THE LEGEND OF HIIAKAIKAPOLIOPELE.

Of Pele, her warfare in Kahiki,
That was fought with Punaaikoae,
Pele fled hither to Hawaii,
Fled as her eyeball—
As the lightning’s flash, 5.
Lighting as does the moon,
[Let] awe possess me.

For Pele the ocean sleeps,
For the god a sea hastens toward the islands,
It breaks afar at Hanakahi 10.
Upon the sands of Waiolama,
And guards the house of your god.
The axe is being borne to fell the tree above,
Heavily breaks the surf from Kahiki,
Cresting onward in front of Kilauea, 15.
The sea turned at the front of Papalauahi.
Man called that day
To Puaakanu’s lehua-stringing women
Above at Olaa, my lehua-land,
In the front of Heeia, Kukuena women 20.
The companions entered the entanglement
In the thickets of Puna, irregularly, and dwelt.
Here we are thy many adherents.
[Let] awe possess me.

A spraying sea has Kohalaloa, 25.
Sea roughed by the cliff above.
A sea cliff-watcher is Kakupehau.
Sea invading your pandanus groves.
It crests onward toward Maui,
The sea of the chiefess 30.
Of the lehua-stringing party of Pele,
Of my god indeed.
[Let] awe possess me.

Answer, O mountain, in the cliff mist;
Turn the voice of the moaning ohia, 35.
I see in the fire-consuming rocks
The aged dame sleeping quietly
On hot lava bed, liquid stone,
Till, canoe-shaped, the covering there hid first,
Depressed in center, else flat in the rear, 40.
Spouting was its source, Kamakahakaikea,
Mischievous Niheu, [the] cutting man.
[Let] awe possess me.

On famed Molokai of Hina,
Is Kaunuohua, a cliff, 45.
When Hapuu was lighted—
Hapuu the small god—
Pele came forth, the great god,
With Haumea and Hiiaka,
With Kukuena and Okaoka. 50.
When the small fire lights, it burns
[As] an eye-ball of Pele.
The flash-light of the heavens is it.
[Let] awe possess me.

At Kaulahea, Lanai, 55.
At Mauna-lei, twine the wreath,
Pele is wreathed with the ieie,
Hiiaka shines [her] head,
Haumea anoints [her] body.
Pele enjoys her fish, 60.
The small turtle of Polihua,
Small turtle, short necked,
[Of] crab-like back, of the sea.
The large pattern-backed tortoise
Resembling the food for Pele 65.
If glistening and reflecting in the sun.
[Let] awe possess me.

At Keolewa over Kauai,
At the flowers floating below Wailua,
Pele looks from there: 70.
Oahu is seen set aside,
Longing for the water mirage of the land.
Mokihana [fragrance] arose,
The enjoyment of Hiiaka.
Pele disputed there, 75.
There was no guardian to protect.
Pele stamped with her feet the long waves;
An eye-ball for Pele [was] the flash-light of the heavens.
[Let] awe possess me.

Pele came forth from the east, 80.
The canoe landed at Mookini
[The] battle ceased at Kumalae.
Pele people set up an image,
The image of Pele folk remained for the offspring of Koi.
Pele folk offered sacrifices there; 85.
Pele led them in procession.
At the cape of Leleiwi
[They] inhaled the fragrance of the pandanus;
Of the lehua of Mokaulele,
That was what Pele was wreathing. 90.
Puuloa was a village;
Papalauahi a sleeping house,
A shed for Kilauea.
Pele came forth from Kahiki
[With] the thunder, the earthquake, the bitter rain; 95.
The pelting rain of Haihailaumeaiku,
Of the women in the wilds of Maukele.
Pele came at twilight,
Tossing and turning the long-backed waves.
The ocean was in agitation at the jealousy of Pele; 100.
The great shock is the shock above the heavens,
Tearing the foundation, the surface stratas,
The strata on which Kane surfed at Maui.
Kahiliopua was the god of the day
At Waiakahalaloa, to expand. 105.
It was Waa, whose was the fishing fleet
Remaining at Kohala’s shore.
The ghost-god of Puuloa
Entreated the traveler,
The wreath-stringing god of Kuaokala. 110.
Makanoni was wreath making,
The day Pualaa arose and was observed,
The day after Kahuoi stood cold above.
A red-fisted robber was exercising
Eastward of the sun of Kumukahi 115.
Whose first rays reveal the light.
[The] fine garments of Kohala are spread out
To the sun, warmed not in the night,
When the sun hides the day, placed above
Is the moon. 120.
[Let] awe possess me.

Auaahea meets death; on baking
The hog, unshorn of its bristles,
The acceptable offering to the god,
The sacred observance of the companions, 125.
Thunder shook the heavens, the bitter rain
Of Kaulahea of the revealed altar of light.
Kaomealani rained. So! that’s the fault,
The god was jealous. Pele for the first time was duped;
Pele for the first time drew near; 130.
Pele for the first time was without pau to clothe your companion,
To shake the stones and overflow the mountain with lava.
Where lava flowed, there dwelt
Kalaukaula, at the household of the deities,
Kaneulaapele and Kuihimalanaiakea, 135.
Royal companions of Pele, resident tree eaters,
The women of wonderful prayer of eight-fold power.
[Let] awe possess me.

Stamp, stamp out the people’s fire
Below Kilauea, and as its reward 140.
Arise the shoutings, the confused noise of the gods
On the cliff of Mauli,
The source of tears of this place
Of men who, owl like, seek water.
Gird thou thy weapon with thy countrymen. 145.
I seize my club and strike at the god.
Pele stands raining, Pele’s heaps
Are placed below; heaped [was] the dead.
At reddening below thou doth flow.
Alas! ’tis flowing, it runs canoe-like; 150.
The mountain rocks, Hiiakaikapoliopele is safe,
Flee away! flee above to the light!
[The] crab climbs up Kauiki,
[It] returns distressed at man’s shadow.
Crabs are struck with the stick, 155.
Taken and thrown in the bag,
The soft crab catches the flap of the malo;
The soft crab stays within boundaries,
Entwined with the sea-moss pods.
The soft crab is placed upon the stone, 160.
As chewed bait it leaves the bag.
Other crabs, how many awa drinkers? Four,
The tortoise, turtle, kukuwaa and hinalea,
At the ginger of Kahihiwai, lolipua ate,
Lolikoko ate, lolikae ate, lelea ate, 165.
Of Leleamakua, father of Kahikona,
At his birth the red rain poured,
[A] recognizing sign of the power
Of thy god without, jealous.
[Let] awe possess me. 170.

The heavens and the rain rejoice,
Grief rends the heavens, darkness covers the earth,
At the birth of the princely ones.
At birth of a girl the heavens travailed;
When a male child came forth 175.
The red rain above gathered together.
Kuwalu was born and her lord
Kuihimalanaiakea.
Eat O Pele of thy land!
Source of the ohias, the pandanus grove below Leleiwi, 180.
With Panaewa severed Kau is refuse,
With Pele a mound, Pele flows freely
Over thy land, burying the district.
[Let] awe flee on.

Standing in Wailua is the lover’s hala post, 185.
The call is heard, the loud noise
Of night gatherers singing, not calling for help.
Deep sympathy! this indeed is Ikuwa,
The first indications arise,
The evils of the wind. 190.
Provoking, run away, make known
The sign, O Hiiaka!
Whose is the sacrifice? For the family
Of Haumea is the offering.
Kane stood supporting the valiant, 195.
Done in his time, for Pele;
For Hiiaka; for the land,
This here land,
The floating land of the heaven above.
Anakuku is the assembly within 200.
Haamo, a road that is traveled;
A drum discarded; a fence o’erleaped;
A platform trampled; a comforting grass;
A cane-leaf thatching, end trimmed;
A spread mat; a supply of dishes; 205.
A filling of water; a food offering;
A feast for the house.
Released, released is that house; ’tis o’erleaped; ’tis entered trustfully.
For Waihonua stands the long shed,
The house where Pele lived. 210.
Spying came a multitude of the gods.
Be gone! be gone outside!
A prayerless priest, a prayerless chief
Shall not carelessly enter the house of Pele,
My god indeed! 215.
[Let] awe possess me.

Place dottedly the cross signs,
When the kapu expires I shall be first
Dividing into hills, scattering, dividing dottedly.
The land is freed, children restricted, 220.
The coconut is kapu, the waters flow;
When leaf wrapped, stack the bundles [of food].
Kulipee resides at the pit,
And the companions of Kuwawa
And Kuhailimoe flee away to the mire of Hawaii. 225.
I am first to go out hence
From thy presence,
Flying hither in nakedness.
[Let] awe possess me.

PRAYER TO PUA

Koheili above here,
Reaching to heaven is the reverence to Koheili.
Grant me pardon.
Awake thou, O heaven!
O thunder and lightning! 5.
The severe rain, the pelting rain, the fine rain,
The clouds, the winds; messengers of flying gods in the heavens,
Come you in pairs,
With prostration beneath and myself on top.
Koheili turns aside in the wilderness 10.
To gather the ti-leaves,
For uniting, sleeping, kissing;
For food at the temple where I will meet the husband.
Love passes on by your climb with the burden.
Thou to hold the heart while I hold the breast; 15.
Let the rain fall, the heavy rain;
Let there be wailing,
Thou art taken by your lover, O Pua—
Return, grant this prayer.

Koheili, O Koheili! 20.
Koheili of the mountain here,
The reverence of Koheili reaches to the mountain,
Calling me to arise.
Awake thou O mountain! O valley!
Thou ornament, thou serene sky, 25.
Come you in pairs,
Prostration is below, I am above.
Koheili turns aside in the wilderness,
To gather the ti-leaves,
For embracing, sleeping, kissing, as food at the temple, 30.
To be worn by all, worn for trespass;
Love passes on by your ascent with the burden,
Thou to hold the heart while I hold the breast.
Let the rain fall, the heavy rain;
Let there be wailing, 35.
Thou art being taken by your lover, O Pua—
Return, grant this prayer.

Koheili! O Koheili of this earth,
The sacredness of Koheili pervades the earth,
Calling me to arise. 40.
Awake thou O earth, O sand, O dry leaves,
O coconut grove, O taro patch, O moth,
O reef, O island, O tide, O land,
Come in pairs.
Prostration is beneath, I am above, 45.
Koheili turns aside in the wilderness
To gather the ti-leaves,
To embrace, to sleep, to kiss, as food at the temple,
So that when I am met by a man
I can give all, give without wrong, 50.
Love passes on by your ascent with the burden,
Thou to hold the heart, I to hold the breast.
Let the rain fall, the heavy rain,
Let there be wailing.
Thou art taken by your lover, O Pua— 55.
Return, grant this prayer.

Koheili, O Koheili!
O Koheili of guidance here,
The reverence of Koheili reaches to the sea
Calling me to arise. 60.
Awake thou O body surf, O facing surf,
O heavy surf, O sudden sea.
O the cherished, O the forbidden,
Come thou in pairs,
With reverence beneath [and] I above. 65.
Koheili turns aside in the wilderness
To gather the ti-leaves,
For embracing, sleeping, kissing, as food at the temple
So that when I am met by a man
I can give all without wrong, 70.
Thou to hold the heart while I hold the breast.
Let the heavy rain fall,
Let there be wailing.
Thou art taken by your lover, O Pua!
Return, grant this, a prayer. 75.

PRAYER TO HINA

O Hina, [2096] Hina the tantalizer, [2097]
O Hina, Hina the procurer, [2098]
O Hina unrestrained [2099] resting on the husband’s breast.
Hina proclaims the wrong doing
She has a god at Nonomea, [2100] 5.
The water assigned Hinakua [2101] for bathing
Hina revealed [2102] through the streets,
The secret delayed by Pe’ape’a,
Else the juice of the banana was the water,
The water that elder Hina bathed in! 10.
Hina came down from heaven,
Her way was by the rainbow.
The rain sprinkled, heavy rain fell,
The way by which Hina ascended.
Hina noted for sand walking, 15.
Hina proclaimed from a high place
The manini [2103] as Hina’s fish food;
Found indeed.

Sacrifice, sacrifice, [2104]
The seaward flat, the bared coral [2105] rock; 20.
The halelo, the squid of the reef, the pe’ape’a,
The aalaihi, [2106] the palani, [2107]
Hold the onini, the unlucky fish,
It is Hina’s fish.
Pull [2108] from shoreward, drive [2109] into the net, 25.
The kala [2110] is elder Hina’s fish.
Hina eats the good [2111] fresh fish;
It is yours O Hina! For Hina indeed is the fish.

Sacrifice, sacrifice,
The shore reef is the ocean guard; 30.
The wizard’s pit affords fresh (twin) water.
The beach of Hina beyond is guarding.
Watch for Palaiuli; for Palaikea.
O vengeful [2112] Hina, Hina the man-eater, [2113]
That is the Hina who owns the fish. 35.
Give birth [2114] to fish, O Hina!
It is Hina’s own fish.

Sacrifice, sacrifice,
Hina boasts of her fish;
Bait the hook, O parent-Hina one, 40.
Touch the surface of the sea, O parent-Hina two,
Bite the fish of the wizard, parent-Hina three,
Lift it above [2115] to parent-Hina four,
Put in the canoe of parent-Hina five, [2116]
The mud-hen [2117] came down for Hina; 45.
Came down below to the water-source,
To the spring, to the flowing water,
To the bathing pool of Hina.
By rubbing the skin, producing redness
To cleanliness, Hina absolved her several body forms; 50.
They flew as a bird, suspended like a kite,
Past the difficult places, Kane leading.
Hina followed at a distance,
Hakiololo came behind you O Hina,
As the kite rose the mud-hen crawled to Hina 55.
And flew away.

The awa planted by the side of the house
Has grown, has leaved and ripened,
Send [2118] and pull it up and bring it here;
Chew it, strain it, and put it in the cup, 60.
[The] fish-drink, [2119] if approved, Lono drinks and Hina drinks.
For the contentious effect of the oven-treated awa.
O Hina! Hina of the many,
O Hina of the shark,
O Hina of the kala, 65.
O Hina of the weke, [2120]
Here is yours, kala, the sick part,
Here is yours, weke, the death part,
Return you the life-giving portion.

PULE NO HINA.

O Hina hoi, Hina ukiuki,
O Hina hoi, Hina we’awe’a,
O Hina waianoa, la’i e i ka polikua kane,
Kani ae la Hina ha’ihala,
He akua kona i ka Nonomea. 5.
O ka wai e auau ai Hinakua,
Kani holo Hina i ke alanui,

PRAYER TO KAPO.

Kane, thou who art revered above,
Who art revered below,
A woman garlanded in reverence is Kapo! [2121]

Thou Kapoulakinau, this is a prayer from the heart.
Grant life plentiful to me by the cape at Kaulia, 5.
At shattered Kahiki, by the rise to Maunaloa
Is the path by which Kapo climbed,
Flew, and received honors; Grant me honors.
Where is my wreath, Kapo?
A wreath of reverence placed in Kona by Kapo. 10.

Rise thou, O Kapo!
Come thou, O Kapo, pluck thy herb,
Bind it in a bundle and lay it in the shadowy path,
Have compassion.
The cry of affection creeps to the heart; 15.
Kapo climbs Maunaloa—
Kapo already adorned in her skirt.
A fog of the mountain, a cloud of the rising sea;
Clouds which easily fade away.
Kapo came down to earth, 20.
Kapo saw the lehua,
Kapo broke the lehua,
Kapo bundled the lehua,
Kapo plucked the lehua,
Kapo strung the lehua, 25.
Kapo braided the lehua,
Kapo wore the garland of lehua.

Kapo came down to earth,
Kapo saw the maile,
Kapo broke the maile, 30.
Kapo bundled the maile,
Kapo stripped the maile,
Kapo tied the maile,
Kapo twisted the maile,
Kapo wore the garland of maile; 35.
A wreath for your standing,
A wreath for your sitting, thou woman of Kolokolo.
Pass not the lover of my heart;
The regard is for the lover;
Love for Kaulanaula, O Kapo! 40.
Here is a multitude of voices—the tears,
My sacrifice to thee, O Kane!
That which draws me to him do thou sever:
When this is done, sacrifice is offered on thy altar, O Kane!

PULE NO KAPO.

Kane hili ae ka malama iluna,
Haahaa ka malama ia ilalo,
He wahine lei malama ka e Kapo.

Kapoulakinau ke oho i kamanawa,
A ola i one au, kalae i Kaulia, 5.
Kahiki i olopa o pii a Maunaloa
I hiki ke ala Kapo i pii ai,
Lele ai, hano ai, hanohano au e—alele.
Auhea kuu lei e Kapo?
He lei malama e kau i Kona, e Kapo-la-ana, 10.

Ku mai e Kapo!
Hele mai e Kapo, uhuki i kau weuweu,
Pupu halii i ke ala o nio ka la,
Kau mai.
E weliweli kolo ke oho i kamanawa, 15.
Pii ae Kapo iluna o Maunaloa—
Pau kahiko Kapo i kona pau,
He ohu kuamauna, he ao kainuu,
He opua haalele wale la-ana.
Iho iho o Kapo i ka honua, 20.
Ike aku o Kapo i ka lehua,
Haihai o Kapo i ka lehua,
Pua o Kapo i ka lehua,
Ako ae o Kapo i ka lehua,
Kui ae o Kapo i ka lehua, 25.
Uo ae o Kapo i ka lehua,
Lei ae o Kapo i ka lehua—ane.
