VARIOUS HEATHEN PRAYERS.

Opened is the earth to Elekau-Kama,
Enlarged the growth of Nao,
The eyes behold the dawning progress
Of Luamaha, the strong youth.
He is beneath; beneath is Kama.
Perplexed is the mind of Kukuluhalaaniani,
Shifting hither, shifting thither; he is shifting the time of Kama,
Of the foundation of the heavenly Kama
Kuoni, Pepeilani, Hakaniholua,
Are the source of bitterness.
Hou is the real Kanekama; Kiha of the Kama people,
He is beneath, he is beneath,
His is, his is the folded body.

Formed is the pillar in the presence of Haumeakalani.
Who art thou, that comes to life with the drums?
By the drum is that chief ennobled!
A drum that is braided is being beaten.
The basket is finished; open the basket;
Fill up the basket, the basket, the basket, the roomy basket.
Two baskets for Kaeleha,
Two [for] Mamahauula and others;
At Oiolele double that action and derive four,
From four to five, from five to six;
Six [for] Honouliuli, Hoaeae and Waikele.
From Waikele on to Waipio until the ninth;
At the ninth pass by the bend in the pond at Makawa,
For Kanaloa ten;
Ten [for] Kipahulu, ten [for] Kaupo;
Ten [for] Honuaula, ten [for] Kula;
For Makawao one, for the ascent of Aalaloloa two,
Two for Ukumehame, two [for] Olowalu, two [for] Launiupoko;
For Lahaina ten, ten for Makila, ten for Lile;
Ten [for] Niihau, ten [for] Kauai, ten [for] Oahu,
Ten [for] Molokai, ten [for] Lanai, ten [for] Maui,
Ten for joining and completing the islands of Kamalalawalu.

I was at Puuiki; at Puuiki
I struggled, struggled until disgusted.
I loosened my garments and shouldered them,
Thence I went to Puaai, and from Puaai
To Kilua, and from Kilua
To Kilele and on to Kihoa
[Where] the vines are vigorous, the men energetic, the women active,
[The] children sprightly, [the] food vessels supplied, the red glow
intense.
Such red glow being caused by Lono, Oh!
Your paramour, oh Lono, shall be a lizard;
Scarce and few will be the meeting of friends at Kualoa,
[For] the barren land is strangling Kakaia.

There Hilo is thatching,
Finishing, ridging,
Trimming until satisfactory,
Rounding off, boards standing,
Boards stood up and cut.
For the house there is spreading of the grass,
Unfolding and spreading of the mat,
Covering over with bed-clothes,
And using of pillows; there is sleeping,
Awaking, standing up and walking about.
There is preparation of food;
The fish and the water; there is eating;
There is the end to the eating.
There is washing of the hands,
And there is a coming out.

Say, there! There is your container, O Lono, getting to the point where the mouth will move, the hands will point, the head will nod, the eyes will wink, lest shame awakens. No earnest prayer has reached the hills to store water; to store it mountain high until Kaunuohua is lowered; and yet keep storing, for a creeping hill is Nihoa. Those hills, these hills, Palaau ye water below, stay on, stay on at Kuihiki.

I arise an Iwa, seeking freedom from restraint,
Apprehending fully my strength, the strength of a bird;
That I have the beak of a bird, a bird-like beak;
The eyes of a bird, the head of a bird;
The comb of a bird, the ears of a bird;
The neck of a bird, the body of a bird;
The wings of a bird, the feet of a bird;
The feathers of a bird, the tail feathers of a bird
That the bird can fly, the bird can breathe;
That the bird is found, the bird is prepared,
That the bird is struck, the bird is dead.
Bring the bird, pluck the bird,
Fire-dry the bird, disembowel the bird,
Extract the intestines of the bird, the gizzard of the bird,
The heart of the bird, the gall of the bird,
The stomach of the bird, the meat of the bird,
The bones of the bird, the claws of the bird,
The joints of the bird; cook the bird.
The bird is cooked; tear up the bird,
Distribute the bird, eat the bird
Until it is finished; such is a bird container.

My companions prepared the breadfruit and the pandanus
In little bundles at Lepau,
[Also] the kaee flower at Keii, the flower receptacle of Keaau,
The progress of their work [being] impeded by Kilohana the lowly,
The very lowly, the very flat-lying.
A hill facing inland casts its shadows seaward,
As the house stands, the shade is within.
The ungrateful companions being lazy sent a messenger
To run spying on the evening birds.
Place the snare in the uplands of Kahumuula,
The rocky hill of Kaalamea, pleasant sounding,
And when your godly ancestors hear,
Kapulupulu, Kualanawao, Kumokuhalii,
Kupepeiaoloa, and Kupaikee.
They will hew down the canoe [tree] until it falls, using many axes.
Trim off the canoe [tree] that it may be light,
Then draw it forth with ropes, tightly held,
And drag it down to Halauoloolo and place it within;
[Then] hew the canoe, shape the canoe,
Blacken the canoe, set the cleats,
Tie the cords to the end of Hakea,
That is the important cord of the canoe.
Carry the canoe and drop it in the sea,
Set up the mast and tie with ropes;
A rope to the bow, a rope to the stern.
A rope for packing, a rope for the stay,
Put on the sails, the bundle of red sails,
At the dawn of day push off the canoes until they float;
Load on the baggage designated for that canoe.
Let men board the canoe with bundles
And stow them away and tie them fast;
Push off, sit down and paddle away.
Head for the landing place of Lepau;
Land and crowd on with the others,
Entrench as the ohiki in its hole;
[For] inhospitable are the uplands of this Kona.

The house which stands in Kona
Faces towards Koolau, the posts toward Halawa;
The roof is thatched and finished off with net fastening,
Kahikinui and Kaupo are the ends;
The veranda is unprotected and empty.
Thatching sticks corded to the crowning ridge-pole.
Maui land of Kihapiilani,
Hana land of Kalahumakua,
Kaiwiopele the parting of the east wind,
And Nualele by the sea,
And Kapueokahi of the roaring sea which echoes at Mokuhano.

Kaluanui, Kaluanui!
They stand as twin hills, the hat-palm houses
Which Kane thatched;
The birds are calling me from the kakio
Which Kane cultivated;
Tilled by Kikau of Hana
During the oopu season of Waikolu.
I am going home to eat;
Kala is the fish I will eat until satisfied,
It is the fish sacred to my god; alas!

Weep, O Kauai!
Great Kauai, standing with irresolute hand!
Situated under the lee of Waianae,
With Koolau to the rear, Kona to the fore,
Full of pandanus is Kahuku, a cape is Kaena;
A mountain ridge frequented with dew is Kaala;
Waialua lies below Mokuleia,
Mokuleia with its level plain;
Shark is the fish, the white-tailed fish of Kaena;
A wandering shark, it has gone down,
Down to Kauai, my land.

Kauai the beloved,
Green are thy banks of flowers,
Flanked by the hau blossoms down at Wailua.
Wide spreading lay the spirited sons
Separating me from the Koolau flowers of Moenu;
Inviting me is Apu, god of Kiki,
By the calm sea of Kamakauhiloa.
Kaiona-wards is the cape of Opuaahaunui.
Useless becomes the nose of Kuawalu when Kaupo obstructs,
Useless Kaupo is shielded who would live at Kaupo?
Your land that is wind-swept, your land of the treacherous sea;
Your land of the ferocious shark, furiously attacking the
black-red-skinned man.
Reddened is the skin of the sharp-finned shark of Auwahi,
Rising to the surface of the rocks. This month is Makalii.

Direct the water of my land,
Waikapu’s water, Honokea’s,
The fishermen [in the canoe] at Kahului cry out,
Motioning shoreward directing the stranger
As to the true condition of life ashore;
Hamakua is distinct, revealed by the red glow at the shore of Mokuwi,
[As] the best shore here, exceeded only by Kakuihewa.

There it is, there it is;
It is the mirage of Mana.
It is following the water of Kamakahoa,
Water that is not water is the mirage of Mana.
Like the sea is the water, like the water is the sea,
Of the water, of the sea,
The cane-land which I enjoyed and forgot, rejected and forsook.
What was seen behind again appears in front.
O Pali, leaf-wilted in the sun,
As the plentiful dew of the morning.
Like a smoke column passes the alkali dust,
Passed by are the emblems of the god of the year,
Gone to bury the dead.
Bending low are coconut trees seaward.
The wizard designated is Kauai.

CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HEIAU.

In the evening the adze was placed in the cloth, saying at the time to the god: “Here is the adze together with the cloth. Tomorrow will be obtained the timber for your house, ye god.” In the [following] early morning, all the people and the chiefs went up the mountain, no one remained; the men who had the adze which was wrapped in the white kapa (oloa), first cut the main posts [53] and tied a strip of kapa around each; the rest of the timber of the house, i.e., the other posts, the rafters, the vertical and the other battens and the plates were brought down by the other people, and on that same day were the posts set and the house thatched. When completed the same crowd of people again went up the mountain, where a man would be killed. This man sacrificed on cutting down a tree to make idols was called haalelea; the people then returned from the mountain with leaves of the forest. They were covered all over with these shrubs. These things were heaped outside of the enclosure of the heiau where a large idol stood; where that rubbish was deposited was called a kuahu. The heiau was then sacred. Another man was then killed and placed on the lele (these were four long sticks which had been erected to form a square; the four sides were lashed with battens, also the top, and to this was tied the oloa in such a way that the kapa hung down loosely), together with a pig, coconut, banana and kapa.

This was how the priest would pray on returning with the malukoi:

Whither the procession, O Kane, being carried along?
The procession, O Kane, marches upward.
The heavens recognize the procession;
Kanehekili above receives the procession;
Sacred is the procession marching past;
The procession passes away from earth
By many separate paths of numerous gods,
Slowly moving and singly is the going.
O Kane! Grant us life.
Ku! O Kuamu!—mu!
Ku, O Kuawa—wa!
With springing step, courageous,
Then Laka came.

And so keep on until the heiau is reached, then [the chant] stops.

The things of the heaven which were worshiped: The sun, the moon, the stars, the cloud, the thunder, the lightning, the heavy rain, the light rain (mist), oili, [54] meteor, rainbow.

The things of the earth which were worshiped: The earth, sand, taro patch, palapala, coconut grove, hill, reef, island, the tide, the land.

The mountain: Mountain, a mountain top, a valley, a stream, the calm, the mountain side, the outer forest, kupulupulu, kualanawao, kunakupali, laka, laeae, kawahinekuawaa.

The sea: The sea, the black sea, the white sea, the raging sea, the foaming sea, pulupulu, porpoise, nuao, shark, eel, etc.

The land: Pig, chicken, dog, coconut, kapa, taro top (luau), spring of water, taro.

The aumakuas: Namu, Nawa, Kahinakua, Kaakua, Kaalo, Kaakau, Kaahema, Kilo-i-ka-lani, Nana-i-ka-lani, Kama-kilo-lani, Ka pinao ula holo lani.

O Kahiki, Kahiki with the same eyes,
Kahiki with deaf ears,
Kahiki with hearing ears,
Give heed.
O heavy lightning at the rending of heaven,
O thunder, cease reverberating,
[And] rumbling in heaven
Lest I carve a change.
Roar in Kahiki,
Rumble in Kahiki,
Speak in Kahiki,
Alone in Kahiki,
O Kahiki! Kahiki, grant life to Kuwalu.
