A PRAYER TO LONO.

O Lono of the heavenly region,
From out of the rest of heaven’s origin
Issued forth Kane and Kanaloa.
[From] within the heavenly birth-place
Came forth Kumu-honua, of Kane. 5.
And Lalo-honua, the female.
Spread forth Wakea and great Papa that gave birth to lands.
From out of Huli-honua
The chiefs were born;
From within the heavenly birth-place 10.
Lono stood forth.
[He] created the red fish;
Sanctified the black coconut;
Created the white fish;
Sanctified the growing awa, 15.
By leaves is the awa propagated,
It springs up at the irregular cliffs.
Kane and Kanaloa stood forth,
They rendered the red fowl sacred;
Sanctified the white awa; 20.
Rendered the pig sacred;
Sanctified the black awa;
Established the restrictions
To anoint the robe
Within the heavenly birth-place. 25.
The rain fell noisily in drops,
In the month of Kaelo,
Of Ikiki, of Ikuwa, and Kanikoi,
To magnify the heavens,
To magnify the earth, 30.
To stand sacred, in fear,
To stand solitary within tremulous heavens.
Lono leaned forward
The shadow of Lono in Kahiki,
The cloud-clusters fell 35.
At the approach of Lono;
The red glow vanishes
At the approach of Lono;
The red smoke-column melts away
At the approach of Lono; 40.
The red rain fell
At the approach of Lono;
The red clouds were overcome
At the approach of Lono;
The rainbow was dispelled 45.
At the approach of Lono;
The smoky atmosphere was dispelled
At the approach of Lono;
The swelling clouds disappeared
At the approach of Lono. 50.
For Ku, Kane,
And Kanaloa were the supreme in Kahiki.
Of the sisters,
The large female sea, Haalipolipo,
Of Ulu-nui Maholo-lani, 55.
Of Maewa at east Kahiki,
Of Maewa at west Kahiki,
Maewa at the Apapa-nui-lani,
Great Maihi-lani, sacred to Hehu,
Kalani-ula, the woman 60.
Who broke the kapus of Kahiki,
Establishing the order, the strengthening bones of the land.
Kahai leaped over,
Kahai leaped over the first boundary
Of the high-place [of earth]. 65.
The vision, the smooth space,
To breathe and carry away the awa leaf
In the wind.
To grow thriftily
In the restraining place of the land 70.
Of Lono, of Keakea-lani,
Living together as progenitors of the land;
Setting apart the kapu of the woman.
Clouds in the sea bowed down,
The head of the earthquake sounds 75.
Below the earth,
Shaken down
Beneath at Malama.
Awake thou, O Lono!
Come and eat of the sacred food of Kanaloa. 80.
Prepare awa,
[As] propitiatory offering for men and for women.
Here is the food, a voice offering.

HE PULE NO LONO.

A PRAYER.

Strangely lofty is this heaven,
This very heaven which separates the seasons of heaven;
Trembling is the point below;
Moving are the gills, the fins, the head of the earth;
Exclaiming are the hosts, the multitude of gods. 5.
Turned is the face of the god toward the visible heaven;
[He] turned and stamped upon Kahiki.
Extended be the sacred worship of Lono;
Extended through Kahiki and worshiped.
Budding are the leaves of Lono; 10.
Turn hither the image of the god;
Turn hither within Maewa-lani;
Sound the leader within Papa-ia-mea.
The heavens are silent;
The eyes of Lono have seen Kahiki. 15.
The rays of light shine forth;
’Tis Ikuwa, Makalii,
’Tis Hinaiaeleele, Hilinehu,
’Tis Kaelo, Kaaona the month.
Lono sickened with pregnancy, 20.
The month suffered intensive pains,
The placenta was agitated,
The travail prevailed in Hinaiaeleele.
The cord of Papa-ia-mea trembled.
The leaves of Lono are scattered; 25.
The image of Lono is placed for devotion,
[To] stand till it falls to the foundation of the land;
Bending low is the glory;
Covered is the god by the heaven;
That heaven is established. 30.
Covered is the god by the earth’s strata.
Squeaking is the voice of the alae within Kanikawi;
Cracking is the voice of the thunder;
Cracking within the shining black cloud;
Broken are the mountain springs below; 35.
The god returns and dwells in the clefts;
The god returns and dwells in obscurity;
The god Lono returns and dwells in the mire.
Sounding is the voice of the shell;
Sounding above is the voice of the overthrow; 40.
Sounding excitedly is the voice of the birds;
Creaking is the voice of the trees in the forest.
Here is your bird-body, O Lono!
Whirling up the dust in the heavens;
The eyes of Lono glance to Hoomo’s altar; 45.
He dwells here in the space of the land.
Growing is the body high toward heaven;
Passed are the former blustering winds.
The first-born children of Hinaiaeleele.
May I be saved by thee, O Lono, my god! 50.
Saved by the supporting prayer!
Saved by the holy water!
Saved to offer sacrifice to thee, O god!
Here is the sacrifice, a voice offering.

HE PULE.

AN ANCIENT PRAYER.

Unstable are the heavens;
Makakulukahi has fallen;
The stars are placed in the upper space.
Approaching are the footsteps of Kahiki;
Broken are the kamahele branches of the god; 5.
Shattered is the brittle stone;
Strewn are the pieces in Haehae,
Else numberless gods enter.
The body of Lono has changed into glory.
The kanawao grows in the moist earth; 10.
The body of that tree stands in high heaven,
Established is the holy assembly of Lono in the distant sacred place.
The voice of man is forbidden;
Here is the soul within Kulu-wai-maka-lani;
The soul within the smooth bones of the god. 15.
Here are the sacred signs of the assembly:
The voice of thunder bursts forth;
Flashing are the rays of the lightning;
The earthquake shakes the earth;
The smoky cloud and the rainbow appeareth; 20.
The heavy rain and high wind prevails;
The whirlwinds sweep beneath the earth;
Rocks adjoining the streams are moved;
The red mountain-streams rush to the sea.
Here are the waterspouts; 25.
Tumbled about are the cluster clouds of heaven;
Gushing forth are the springs in the cliffs.
One eye has the god;
Two, four eyes, to see clearly behind him.
Greatly revered be the voice of my god in the heavens. 30.
It has been inspired within Papa-iakea,
Dwelling within the Maka-kolu-kolu-kahi.
The kapu of Lono reaches to Kahiki,
It goes to overthrow the kapu of Kahai,
Sacrificing the kapu of Kahai on the altar; 35.
It has fallen and tumbled in confusion.
Dead are the fish, fallen in their flight;
Fallen disfigured all through Kahiki;
Kahai is stirring up the pelting rain;
Kahai is beating the surface of the earth. 40.
Here is Lono the bone of salvation and glory;
The bone placed in the clear sky.
Indistinct is the voice of the god,
Indistinct through the single-breasted surf.
My god was shark-born; 45.
Shark-born in [the month] of Hinaiaeleele.
May I be saved by my fullness of prayer!
Saved by the life-offering!
Saved by my devotion!
By thee, O god! 50.

HE PULE KAHIKO.

PRAYER TO LONO.

PROSE TRANSLATIONS SHOWING VARIANCE.

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. [2122]

A PRAYER.

Here is the food great Kawau, of life,
Pour out from heaven the love within Hoeu.
This is the food, kindling the desire, enflaming the thoughts abiding within.
Sleepless I cry for your love,
Longing for the place you slept with your husband.
From Hamakua to Kula we hid in the pandanus [trees] of Hamakua,
We shredded ti-leaves [in] the rain of Hamakua,
To hide this thing, the love for each other,
A love, a love, my husband in the rain
Puhalomoa, of Kula, from the waters of Waiohuli,
[Where] he turned around.

HE PULE.

A SONG OF JESUS. [2123]

Jesus was the heaven-conceived chief,
Brought up in the presence of his Father.
The heaven-conceived was brought forth in travail,
Jesus was born in Bethlehem
In the time of Herod the king. 5.
The angels directed the wise men,
The Holy Spirit rested upon Jesus.
When they came by the spirit of the Lord
And saw the child Jesus
They knelt down with gifts and incense 10.
Which they had brought,
And returned again to their homes.
The earth began to show jealous hatred,
Herod was greatly troubled in mind
And the king commanded his officers 15.
To slay all young children of Bethlehem,
And the children in adjoining towns;
Children born within the past two years.
When Herod died
The word spoken by the Lord to Joseph was fulfilled. 20.
When the time of Pilate came,
The enemies of this world greatly increased. [2124]
Judas betrayed his Lord.
Jesus was the light of the world,
He was hung on the cross 25.
And pierced with the wicked spear.
Jesus’ teachings were of lasting good.
The first-born of God was slain,
The sinless one,
With head bowed down to the earth 30.
Jesus prayed to the Father,
O Father, O Father!
Forgive this world,
They did not understand thee.
The angels of heaven mourned 35.
The sun and moon wept,
The heaven was veiled in darkness,
The clouds wept for Jesus,
The darkness fell down at his feet.
Jehovah divided the waters of heaven, 40.
The Messiah returned in his glorious chariot,
Saying unto his disciples:
I am going to heaven,
To the bosom of my Father,
And will send you a teacher. 45.
Jesus departed with the power of the Spirit.
His fame went all abroad,
Jesus was the soldier of Kawaluna.
The land trembled with fear of the multitude;
Together they fled in dismay 50.
At the revelation of the great day of Jesus.
Compassionate art thou, O Jesus,
Who died to save us.
Ours was the guilt for which the Lord died.
By his death 55.
Once only was that sacrifice for sin.
But the death of this world
Is two fold in its nature,
This world, and the world to come,
Life everlasting. 60.

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.

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.

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.

THE NAME OF KAMAPUAA.

RECITED BY HIS GRANDMOTHER KAMAULUANIHO.

Thou art indeed Haunuu,
O Haulani, O Kaalokuloku,
The shark, the great fish,
Make a move, O stalwart chief,
Your name, make answer. 5.

Your child was born a bundle,
That indeed is your name;
Rub against the cold dew of Kaala
The skin roughened from awa
In dwelling above Kaliuliupeapea, 10.
Near Akua,
Of the fine misty rain
In the cold dew of Keke.
The pandanus and the lehua are in the uplands,
Increasing in the uplands of Kaliuwaa, 15.
This is your name, make answer.

Your child was born a bundle,
The stately eye of the chief;
Recognizing eye of the chief;
Enchanting eye of the chief 20.
That went away
To establish relationship with the royal clan,
O Ku, O Kane, O Kanaloa,
The chiefs, ancestral gods of the night;
The ancestral gods of the day. 25.
The god of wild eye
Before Kawa’ewa’e,
This is your name, make answer.

Your child was born a bundle,
Thou art Hiwahiwa, 30.
And that is Hanohano,
Of the eye of the god
That glances to heaven,
To place, to shake, to rain.
Like the sun flash 35.
[Is] my fruit, my chief,
When the heavens are obscured.
Thou art the man
That was born in the uplands of Kaliuwaa,
Having eight feet, 40.
Having forty toes,
The leaf of the hiwa,
The ki, the white ki,
The white weakling,
The trampled hog, 45.
The temple stones,
The hot stones,
The blonde, the dark,
The black, the white face,
The kukui, the fern, 50.
The scratchy pandanus,
The matured shoot, the hard rock,
The large foreigner with bright eyes,
The prize pig of the heavens,
The hog bodies of Kama in the bush. 55.
Thou art Haunuu,
And that is Haulani,
And Kaalokuloku,
The shark, the large fish.
Make a move, your name respond thereto. 60.

Your child was born a bundle,
Be watchful, be watchful,
When you give birth, O Hina,
The eyes of the hog
They glance to heaven, 65.
They glance mountainward,
To the mountain of expert Peapea;
The hog-child of Hina hath eight eyes.
By Hina art thou,
By Kahikiula, 70.
By Kahikilei.
Thou art Lonoiki,
Thou art Lononui,
Of my eyes,
My love is this, 75.
O Lono.
Follow until thou liest on the altar of Olopana;
Of our king.
Your name, make answer.

Your child was born a bundle, 80.
Kaulua was the star,
Koeleele was the month,
The surf was born, the bag of waters,
Scattering hither the spray of the sea.
Lo the spring water above flows forth, 85.
The bath water of man
Born to Hooilo,
The bursting, contending shark.
Ikuwa was the star,
Koeleele the month 90.
Kama was born.
Kaneiahuea was born,
A god is he,
Kama is human.
This is your name, make answer. 95.

Your child was born a bundle.
Thou art Kaneiahuea,
The god with piercing eyes,
The eyes that look to heaven,
Watching over the island here. 100.
In Kahiki was that chief,
The young fish of Lono in the distant water trough.
Thou art Hiiaka at Puukapolei,
Thou art the god of Haia,
Thou art Haia, your name, make answer. 105.

Your child was born a bundle,
For Mumu above,
The tumult below.
The heaven belongs to Mumu,
To Muahaaha, 110.
The crawling maggots, to Niniole,
Of the seed here,
The report came in the day
Of the powers of the hog;
Its tusks, its chewing, 115.
Make soft and fine,
By Haapekupeku.
The hog that roots up the land,
Standing on the island of Kauai,
He is of Oahu-of-Lua here. 120.
Your name, make answer.

Your child was born a bundle.
Standing high at the cliff,
Low are the tusks of the hog.
Simply weary is the chief, 125.
Simply weary indeed,
Simply weary indeed is the chief,
The sound of the great chief-eating hog,
Eating men also,
Wind is raised below Waimea, 130.
Going forward to lie on the altar of Olopana,
Your name, make answer.

Your child was born a bundle,
The red collections are going away,
The wreath collections, 135.
The collecting together the bristles of the hog,
The large marketable hog,
That it may grow and touch the heavens,
Carrying the large house-filling hog,
Kaleiheha, Hoohonua, 140.
Ukunono, of the noisy sea,
Rustling above, rustling below,
Slippery Hauiliili,
Thou art Kukaleiai,
Thou art the man that was born above Kaliuwaa, 145.
Having eight feet,
Having forty toes.
Innumerable are
The bristles of the hog here.
Your name, make answer. 150.

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.

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.

Ke oho hina lau kalole o ka palai 25.

Ke hoohele aku oe malaila

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.

KOOLAU WIND OF WAILUA.

The wind-mist [2125] cloud of Wailua
Seeks and embitters the water [2126] from the sea.
Wilted are the leaves of food-plants and trees;
Ripened [2127] are the stalks, the food of Makaukiu,
The kukui blossoms [2128] foretelleth the wind; 5.
A sure messenger of the [coming] koolau.
The results [2129] are seen above at Kapehu;
Seen by the people, they call for help [2130] from the wind,
[And] warn the canoes to flee [for safety].
The banana leaves come floating [2131] down; 10.
The hau blossoms and their mate, mokihi, [2132] of the stream,
Passeth, floating [2133] to the waters of Maluaka; [2134]
The sign of that fierce, relentless [2135] wind,
Devastating the forest of Maluakele,
Taken [2136] together with companion-man, lost, 15.
Leaving [2137] the sorrow and memories within,
They vainly [2138] grasp the sand,
And simply cry at Moomooiki. [2139]
A narration [is this] of the imagination, [2140]
Not the word of mouth, which blames, [2141] 20.
Else affection would justly hold me guilty. [2142]
I am the sufferer [2143] of love,
Wandering [2144] in the way with tears;
At no time [2145] was payment made for the house,
I am indeed guilty. 25.
