Mokuna I.

Lilo Pamano i Mea Mele Kaulana.—Lawe Hanai ke Alii Kaiuli Iaia a Haawi i Kana Kaikamahine ia Keaka.—Kaalo ma Kona Hale, Kahea ia Oia e komo.—Hai o Koolau, Kona Hoa, i ke ’Lii.—Kau ka Olelo Make ma ka Awa Maluna o Pamano.—Oiai e Heenalu Ana; Kono Ia i ka Inu Awa.—Hoohuoi i Kona Ano.—Ia Wa Lawe Kona mau Kaikuahine-uhane i ka Ona o ka Awa, Hoomalule ia nae Oia Mahope Mai.

Kahikinui, in Maui, is the land in which Pamano was born; in the village of Kaipolohua. Lono was the father of Pamano and Kanaio was the mother. The brother of Kanaio was Waipu. Pamano had two sisters who were born before him, but they both died in their infancy and Pamano was the only one that was successfully brought up by the parents. When Pamano was full grown he began to study the arts of the hula and the oli (or chanting) of meles.

O Kahikinui ka aina, i Maui, o Kaipolohua ke kulanakauhale, o Lono ka makuakane o Pamano, o Kanaio ka makuahine, o Waipu ke kaikunane o Kanaio. Hanau na mua o Pamano, he mau wahine a make. O Pamano aku, oia kai ola, a nui o Pamano, ao i ka hula a me ke oli.

The reputation of Pamano as a singer and a chanter, after a time, spread over the land of his birth and at last it reached Koolau, in the uplands of Mokulau, located in the middle of Kaupo. When Pamano arrived at that place he was seen by Kaiuli, the king of Maui, and Pamano being a handsome fellow, he was adopted by the king as a son, and in this way he became known as the brother of Keaka, the only daughter of Kaiuli. By being adopted Pamano was virtually made king of Maui. The first command given Pamano by Kaiuli was this: After calling for Pamano and his daughter Keaka to come to him, he said: “Where are you, my two children? I want you to listen to what I have to say. I want you, Pamano, to be good and not to touch your sister; and I want you, Keaka, to be good and not to touch your brother. If you two wish to go surf riding, each of you can go down and have your surf riding and then return straight home. Pamano must not enter the house of Keaka or you will die; and so with Keaka.”

Kui aku la ke kaulana i ka lea, a lohe o Koolau i uka o Mokulau, e waiho la i waena konu o Kaupo. A hiki o Pamano i laila, ike mai la o Kaiuli, ke ’lii o Maui i ka maikai o Pamano, lawe ae la i keiki hookama, a lilo ae la i kaikunane no Keaka, ka Kaiuli kaikamahine ponoi. Noho alii iho la ia Maui. Eia nae ka Kaiuli olelo mua ia Pamano. “Auhea olua e a’u keiki, e hoolohe mai olua. E noho malie oe e Pamano, pela oe e Keaka. Ina i makemake olua e heenalu, e iho pololei no a hiki i ka nalu auau a hoi mai, mai komo oe e Pamano i ko Keaka hale, o make oe, pela o Keaka.”

It was Pamano’s custom to go down surf riding at Mokulau every day. Keaka on the other hand had moved to Mokulau and she was at this time living there with her guardian, a man by the name of Koolau, a close friend of Pamano’s. In these daily trips down to enjoy the surf something happened one day which led to difficulties. This day, after Pamano and Koolau had finished bathing, they started on their return, and while on their way, in passing by the house of Keaka, she called out to them: “Come and get some fish for you two.” Upon hearing the call the two stood and looked at her. Keaka continued calling and beckoning them to come to her. The two therefore approached the wall surrounding the house and called out to Keaka: “Give us our fish.” She replied: “The fish have no legs. You two who have legs must come and get the fish yourselves.” The two then entered the yard. Keaka, however, went into the house and held up the fish, at the same time calling for one of them to come in and get them. The two stood there hesitating, not knowing what to do. She called again, whereupon Pamano reached and seized the fish, but Keaka jumped and held Pamano and then closed the door and fastened it. Koolau stood on the outside at the end of the house.

He mea mau ia Pamano ka iho e heenalu i kai o Mokulau i na la a pau. A aia hoi i laila ko Keaka wahi i noho ai me kona kiai, o Koolau, he aikane ia na Pamano. I keia iho ana a laua i ka heenalu, loaa ka moo hihia, pau ka auau ana, kaha o Pamano ma pii me Koolau. Kahea mai o Keaka: “Kiina mai ka ia a olua.”

Na iala ke kahea ku laua nei. Mau mai la ka Keaka kahea me ka peahi. Hele laua nei a mawaho o ka pa, kahea aku: “Ho mai ka maua ia.” I mai kela: “Aohe wawae o ka ia. O olua no o na mea wawae ke kii mai,” komo laua nei a maloko o ka pa. Lekei aku o Keaka me ka ia a noho i loko o ka hale, hoolewalewa mai i ka ia, me ke kahea mai e komo aku. Hookunana laua nei me ka manao e hoi. Kahea hou kela. Lalau o Pamano loaa ka ia. Lele mai o Keaka a paa ia Pamano, papani ka puka, paa i ke pani. Ku o Koolau mawaho ma ke kala o ka hale.

Long before this Keaka had a longing desire to make advances on Pamano, for she was in love with him and, too, she thought that he would make her a good husband; besides, he was such a handsome fellow. At last her chance came and all her hopes were realized. At first they argued, but did not lie together, for Pamano said to Keaka: “I have vowed with Koolau that before I take a wife he must first have her; and this promise also holds good with him; before he takes a wife, I must first be favored; therefore we must call him in to fulfill the vow.” “No; [said she] why should we leave the matter to him, for who is he? Didn’t I bring up the shameless little thing? I will not call him in.”

While the two were talking, Koolau awaited for the opening of the door and for the call for him to enter, for it was raining at the time. After waiting for some time, he chanted the following lines:

Mamua ae, ua komo mua ka makemake ia Keaka no Pamano i ke kane maikai a me ka ui, a i keia hana ana pau loa kona mau iini i ka hooko ia. Ia wa kupapa laua me na kino, aole nae he moe. I aku o Pamano ia Keaka: “Ua hoohiki maua me Koolau, Ina i loaa mua ka wahine ia’u, nana e moe mamua. A pela hoi ia. Nolaila e moe e olua a noa ae, alaila, launa aku kaua.” “Ka-ha-ha! Oia wahi keiki mai lewalewa no ka a’u i malama aku nei la, o kau no ia e hoomoe mai ai ia’u, aole paha o ko’u moe aku.” I keia wa a laua ala e kamailio nei, ke kali aku nei o Koolau o ka wehe ia mai o ka puka, alaila, komo aku. No ka mea, he ua liilii ia wa. Ia wa kau aku la o Koolau:

How beautiful art thou Hilo, bedecked with lehua,
Standing there on the sands of Waiolama!
How beautiful is the body of that tree, that tree!
For he has indeed forgotten me,
Thus finding a fault for war, for strife,
For you two are quarreling.

Nani ka oiwi o Hilo i ka lehua
Ke ku la i ke one i Waiolama
Nani ke kino o ia laau e! he laau,
Hoolaau mai ana ka ia ia’u,
I loaa ka hala, kaua, paio,
A paio olua e!

To this chant Pamano replied: “Yes, that is just what I am saying, but she will not consent.”

I mai o Pamano: “Ae, o ka’u ia e olelo ae nei, aohe ae mai.”

Koolau then again chanted, after hearing the reply of Pamano:

Kau hou mai o Koolau mahope o ka Pamano olelo ana:

The wind that doubly sweeps by, the moae,
Which leaps from the jumping off cliff of Kaumaea,
For the love of women is indeed pleasant,
For the rope which Kukii hung is broken by the storm
That has passed over Naunau.
Had it been Naue thou wouldst have obeyed.

Ka makani pipio lua i ka moae,
Lele aku i ke kawa lele o Kaumaea,
Maea ka lalo o ka wahine,
A ua moku ka lelewa o Kukii i ka ino,
Ke hala aku la maluna o Naunau,
O Naue la hoi o maliu mai oe!

Pamano then made answer the second time: “That is just what I am saying, but she will not give her consent.” At this reply Koolau faced about and returned to their house and slept. At the first cock crow, Pamano returned and went to sleep with Koolau.

Pane mai o Pamano, o ka lua: “O ka’u ia e olelo nei aohe ae ia mai.”

At daylight that morning Pamano awoke and turned his face downward still lying and looked down at Koolau. Koolau from his place looked at Pamano and saw that the sides of Pamano were blackened, just below the arm pits, bitten by Keaka. When Koolau saw this he chanted these words:

Ia wa huli aku la o Koolau hoi a ko laua hale me Pamano moe. A kani ka moa mua, hoi aku la o Pamano a me Koolau moe. A ao, papio iho la o Pamano i lalo ke alo a huli papu aku la. Nana mai la o Koolau i ka uli o ka aoao o Pamano, i ke nahu ia e Keaka. (I ka poaeae la ma lalo iho.) Oli mai la.

As the wind gently sweeps over Waiakea, Hilo,
So sweeps the naenae.
My hala grove is becalmed,
My hala grove that hides behind the wall in the lowlands of Waiuli.
Why are your sides blackened, as though bitten?
For you are attempting to conceal it from me.

A pa malanai Hilo Waiakea,
I pa ia e ka naenae,
Lulu au hala,
Kuu hala pee pa kai o Waiuli,
Nawai ka uli ke nahu o kou ili,
Oe e huna nei ia’u la.

Pamano then made reply: “You know, it was Keaka. After you came away we passed the evening together.” At the reply Koolau arose and went up to inform Kaiuli thereof. While he was on his way up, however, Kaiuli looked at him but was unable to recognize him; so he turned to his companions and asked: “Who is that coming up here?” Some one replied: “It is Koolau.” “No, that is some one else,” said another. This was kept up until Koolau was almost up to them, when their doubts were entirely removed, for they could plainly see that it was he. As he stood in their presence, Kaiuli asked him: “What has brought you up here so early?” “Yes, I came early because I have something to say. The chief and chiefess who live in the lowlands have sinned. Pamano has gone and slept with Keaka. That is the reason why I came up, that you should hear.” Kaiuli then asked of Waipu: “How about your nephew? Shall he live or die?” Waipu replied: “He shall die.” “What fault have you to cause his death?” asked Kaiuli. “There is a fault. When he becomes king of Maui, and the bundles of kapued kapas and loin cloth are brought out, I will get the covering for my kapa and the binding will be my loin cloth. Therefore he shall die.” Kaiuli then asked him: “By what means shall he be killed?” “By the use of the awa,” replied Waipu, “for he is very fond of awa.” The preparations of the awa were then commenced. The calabashes were filled, the water gourds were filled, the fish calabashes were filled, and when all the awa was prepared Kaiuli asked of Waipu: “Who will go and bring Pamano?” “I will,” said Waipu.

I aku o Pamano: “Ua ike no oe, na Keaka. Ia oe i hala mai ai, moe aku maua.”

Ia wa, pii o Koolau e hai ia Kaiuli. Ia ia nae e pii aku ana i ke alanui, nana mai o Kaiuli a hoohewahewa mai. Ninau ae la i kona poe: “Owai la keia e pii mai nei?” “O Koolau, aole ia, he mea e,” pela lakou e olelo nei. A kokoke loa o Koolau i mua o lakou, pau ko lakou haohao, ike pono mai la. Ninau mai o Kaiuli: “He kakahiaka hoi kou o ka pii ana mai.” “Ae, he manao ko’u i pii mai la, o na ’lii o kai ua hewa, ua lalau o Pamano ia Keaka, ua moe, oia au i pii mai la i lohe oukou.”

Pane ae o Kaiuli ia Waipu: “Pehea ko keiki, e ola e make?” I aku o Waipu: “E make.” “Heaha ka hala e make ai?” Pela aku o Kaiuli. “He hala, lilo ae ia i alii no Maui nei, lawe ia mai ka opeope kapa kapu, ka malo. O ka wahi o waho, o ko’u wahi kapa ia, o ka hikii, o ko’u wahi malo ia, nolaila, ua make.” Ninau mai o Kaiuli: “Heaha ka mea e make ai?” “He awa,” (pela aku o Waipu) “no ka mea o kana puni ia.” Mama ka awa, piha na umeke, na huawai, na ipukai. A pau ka awa i ka mama, ninau aku o Kaiuli ia Waipu: “Nawai e kii o Pamano?” “Nau,” Pela o Waipu.

RELATING TO PAMANO.

NO PAMANO.

We will here speak of Pamano and what he did after Koolau came up to inform Kaiuli of what he had done.

Maanei e kamailio iki kakou no Pamano, no kana hana mahope o ko Koolau pii ana e hai ia Kaiuli ma.

After Koolau left for the uplands, Pamano rose, took up his surf board and started down to the beach to enjoy the surf. He continued surfing until the sun passed the meridian, and while he was about to take his last surf and return ashore, Waipu arrived on the beach and called out: “Say, Pamano, come home and drink your favorite drink, the awa, while it is yet warm; and eat of the food prepared before it gets cold.” Pamano was startled by the call, but when he looked about he saw that it was his uncle. At sight of him he had a premonition of coming disaster and death; he was, however, at this time riding on the outside edge of a surf and his skin was entirely dry, and so he chanted these words:

A hala o Koolau i uka, ala ae la o Pamano hopu i ka papa, a iho i ka heenalu i kai o Mokulau. I laila ia i heenalu ai a kaha ka la makai, kokoke e hoi i uka. Ku ana o Waipu mauka, pae ana ka leo: “E Pamano e! e hoi e inu i ko puni o ka awa oi wela. E ai i ka pupu o ka awa o maalili.” Lele ae la ka hauli o Pamano, i nana ae ka hana o kahi makuakane o Waipu. Ia wa, kau mai ia ianei ka halialia make, e holo ana nae keia i ka lala ma ka opi o ka nalu mawaho, maloo ka ili o ia nei i ka la. Ia ia e hee ana i ka nalu, oli mai la:

The awa leaf wind of Hana
As it sweeps unconquered by the line of hala trees,
By the sea of Nanualele
For my heart throbs with strong emotions.

Ka makani lau awa o Hana,
Ku a lanakila ka pae hala,
I ke kai o Nanualele la,
Kuu oili ke lele wale nei.

Waipu replied: “Come home and drink your favorite drink, the awa, or else it will get cold.”

Pane aku o Waipu: “Hoi mai e inu i ko puni o ka awa, koekoe mai auanei.”

Pamano ceased riding the body of the surf and skimmed along in the foam and he again chanted, saying:

Pau ka holo ana a Pamano i ka lala, hoi i ka hua. Oli hou mai la o Pamano:

My uncle from the surf-riding time of Poloa,
From the twilight of Papio, turn,
Turn to me, for here I am; forget your day of anger,
Your day of passion; let us be friends.

Kuu makuakane mai ka la hee nalu o Poloa,
Mai ke koena ahiahi o Papio huli e!
E huli mai! eia au la haalele ia ko la huhu,
Me ko la inaina, e ike kaua!

Waipu replied: “Your journey is perhaps not of death. I have come for you to go and drink your favorite awa.” Pamano then came ashore, bathed himself in fresh water, again girded on his wet loin cloth and started on up. When the two arrived on the heights of Mahinui, a high knoll, overlooking Mokulau, Pamano stood and looked toward the sea, and when he saw the white sands shining there at Huleia, he chanted the following words:

I mai o Waipu: “Aole paha ka’u he huakai make, i kii mai nei paha au ia oe, e hoi e inu i ko puni o ka awa.” Pae o Pamano, auau i ka wai, hume ae la no i ka malo wai, kaha aku la no pii. A hiki laua i luna o Mahinui, he oioina ia, e huli la nana ia Mokulau. Ku o Pamano a nana i kai, i ke aiai mai o ke one o Huleia, oli aku la ia:

As I stand on the heights of Mahinui,
And my eyes gaze seaward,
Like a white cloth that is spread out,
Is the sand there below at Huleia.
I have taken it up as a song
A gift of words for her.

A luna au o Mahinui,
Nana kuu maka i kai,
Me he kapa kea la i hola ia la,
Ke one i kai o Huleia,
I lawe hoi au i hula,
I makana olelo hoi na iala.

The two after this continued on up, when the spirit sisters of Pamano, Nakinowailua and Hokiolele were heard chanting as follows:

Kaha aku la laua nei pii, oli ana na kaikuahine unihipili, o Nakinowailua, o Hokiolele:

The sun always comes up from the back of Mahiki,
At the shores of Kualakaina.
You are being led to the ahupuaa,
For you have stolen, although you pretend to be innocent;
No is fastened to your lips, that is for you.

Kupono mau ka la i ke kua o Mahiki,
Aia ma ke kaha o Kualakaina,
I alakai ’na oe i ke ahupuaa,
Ua hue oe au e hoole nei,
Paa ka ole i ko waha nau ia.

At this Pamano turned and said: “Yes, here I am going up and if I return alive, I will kill both of you.”

From this place the two continued on up until they arrived at the house. Pamano then looked at the house and saw that it looked as though deserted, no one being around; it appeared different from what it used to be, so he chanted as follows:

Huli ae o Pamano a olelo aku: “U! no’u paha ka pii a ola mai au, make olua ia’u.” Kaha aku la laua nei pii a hiki i ka hale, nana aku o Pamano i ke ano o ka hale a me kanaka. Aole e like me ke ano mua, nolaila, oli aku la ia:

The coconut pole is erected, though scarred and cut up,
For there is a gathering here, the voices are heard;
It is the gathering of death; the hands are fastened at the back.
My younger brother, O my younger brother!

Kukulu ka pahu niu a ke alina ka maewaewa.
He pihe aha ko luna nei e wa nei la?
He pihe make, hikii mai na lima paa i ke kua,
Kuu pokii e! Kuu pokii!

He was then called: “Come in and take your favorite drink, the awa.” He entered the house and saw that there was not a single dry spot in the house; all was drenched with water. He entered, however, sat down, then took up the containers and drank the awa, while his sisters took away its intoxicating power. When he became thirsty, he took up the water gourds, but they contained awa. He became hungry and opened the calabashes for food and fish, but they contained awa. The sisters kept on taking the intoxicating portions of the awa until they were unable to take any more; and they became wearied, and so Pamano at last became intoxicated and in time was completely overcome. Pamano then rolled himself up in a cloak and laid down, and from the inside of the cloak he looked out watching to see what was to be done to him.

“Komo mai, e inu i ko puni o ka awa.” Komo aku la keia, aole wahi maloo o ka hale, ua hookele ia i ka wai a kele. Komo aku la keia a noho. Inu i ka awa, lawe na kaikuahine i ka ona, ono i ka wai. I inu aku ka hana i ka huawai, he awa, ono ka ia, i ka ai, i wehe aku ka hana i ka umeke a me ka ipukai, he awa. Oi lawe na kaikuahine i ka ona o ka awa, a ana laua, a luhi, nolaila, make o Pamano i ka ona o ka awa. Wili iho la o Pamano i ka ahu a waiho aku la. Nana no nae na maka maloko mai o ka ahu.

When Waipu saw that Pamano was under the influence of the awa he reached for the stone axe and began to bind on the handle with cords.

A ike o Waipu ua ona o Pamano i ka awa, lalau aku la ia i ke koi a hoa. (Ke ano o ia, he hikii i ka koi me ka laau i hana au kekee ia me ke kaula i hilo ia e like me ke aho.)

Chapter II.

Waipu Prepares the Axe for Pamano’s Death.—He Is Buried in a Pile of Cane-Trash.—His Spirit-Sisters Remove the Body and Restore It to Life.—They Meet a Prophet Who Tests His Ghost Character by an Ape Leaf.—Keaka and Koolau.—At Kilu Attended by Pamano and Others, Keaka Recognizes Him by His Chant.—He Declines Relations While Kaiuli, Waipu and Koolau are Alive.—All Three Are Killed and Put Into the Oven.

Mokuna II.

Hoomakaukau Waipu I ke Koi no ko Pamano Make.—Kanu ia Oia iloko o ka Puu Aina-ko.—Lawe a Hoola Hou na Kaikuahine-uhane i ke Kino.—Hui Lakou me ke Makaula a Hoa’o ia i ke Ano o Kona Uhane ma ka Lau Ape.—Keaka ame Koolau.—I ke Kilu me Pamano ame na Poe e Ae, Ike o Keaka Iaia ma kona Mele.—Hoole i ka Pili Ana oiai e Ola Ana o Kaiuli, Waipu ame Koolau.—Pau Lakou Ekolu i ke Kiola Ia Iloko o ka Imu.

This axe that Waipu was binding together was for the purpose of cutting Pamano and killing him. While Waipu was binding the handle to the axe, Pamano chanted these words:

O keia koi a Waipu e hoa nei, he koi ooki no Pamano. Ia Waipu e hoa ana i ke koi, kau mai o Pamano i ke oli:

The uplands of Kanehoa are scented with kupukupu.
Bind on, the hands of the waikoloa wind are binding,
The waikoloa wind is the cold wind of Lihue,
Withering the branches in the uplands of Waiopua,
My flower I said I would string into garlands. If you have it,
You would have worn it.

Aala kupukupu ka uka o Kanehoa la!
Hoa! Hoa na lima o ka makani Waikoloa,
He Waikoloa ka makani anu, o Lihue,
Weli no loha ka uka o Waiopua la,
Kuu pua i i ai e kui e lei, i na ia oe ke lei ia ala.

Waipu then stood up and began to chop Pamano with the axe, but try as he would he was unable to cut him, for his spirit-sisters Nakinowailua and Hokiolele had dulled the edge of the axe. Pamano then chanted:

Ia wa ooki o Waipu i ke koi ia Pamano, aohe moku, no ka mea, ua hoohuli ia ka oi o ke koi e ka mana o na kaikuahine unihipili. Oia o Nakinowailua, o Hokiolele. Oli hou a Pamano:

The pilipili is made red by the sun,
Made red by love.
Give me a kiss ere I go.

Ka pilipili ula i ka la,
I ula i ke aloha,
Homai ka ihu a hele ae au.

This chant of Pamano’s was a request to Koolau and Waipu to kiss him before he died, for his sisters were going to take his life with them, for fear that their brother’s body would get disfigured, for they knew that the axe of Waipu would in time do its work and Pamano would be cut into pieces.

O keia oli a Pamano, e nonoi aku ana i ka ihu o Koolau a me Waipu e honi. No ka mea, ua manao na kaikuahine e lawe i ke ola o Pamano, o ino ke kino ke loihi ke ola ana, o weluwelu i ke koi a Waipu.

After Pamano was dead he was carried off to be buried in a pile of sugar-cane trash, and that night the place was guarded by watchmen. In the meantime the spirit sisters of Pamano, Nakinowailua and Hokiolele consulted together to go and get the body of their brother and remove it from the place in which it was buried. That night they proceeded to carry out their intention, but in coming to the place they found that it was being guarded, and that the guards were all awake. When they saw this, Nakinowailua showed herself in a form plainly seen by the people, whereat the watchers, in fear, all deserted the place and ran to the house. The two sisters then took up the body and departed from the place. After they had arrived at a secluded spot they worked upon the dead body of Pamano and in time brought it to life again; completely restoring him to his former self. Shortly after this Pamano proceeded on a tour of sightseeing. In their travels in other lands, Pamano and his sisters, met a prophet who said that Pamano possessed the body of a ghost. And because of a violent dispute between the prophet and some of the people he procured an ape leaf and spread it out on the roadway and said to the people: “If after I spread the ape leaf on the road and he should step on it and does not tear it then the body is that of a ghost; but if it tears, then he has a human body.” In all this Pamano was aware of the test. After spreading out the ape leaf the prophet said to the people: “Now watch him.” Pamano upon coming to the ape leaf stepped on it and rubbed it with his feet tearing the leaf. When the people saw that the ape leaf was torn, they turned to the prophet and told him that he was trying to deceive them. After this the prophet followed Pamano. When the sisters of Pamano saw that the prophet was following their brother, they allowed an evil spirit to enter the prophet and he became a mad man.

A make o Pamano, lawe ia aku la e kanu ia i ka puu ainako, a kiai ia e na kanaka i ka po ana iho. O na kaikuahine o Pamano, oia o Nakinowailua, o Hokiolele. Olelo aku kekahi i kekahi e kii i ke kino o Pamano, ae mai kekahi. Ia po kii laua e lawe mai i ke kino o Pamano, a no ke ala mai o na kiai, aole i moe. Ia wa kuu o Nakinowailua, i ke ku aua ikaika loa, makau na kiai holo i ka hale.

Lalau laua nei i ke kino a lawe aku, hana laua nei a ola hou o Pamano, hoi no a like me mamua, ia wa hele o Pamano i ka makaikai. Hele o Pamano me na kaikuahine a hiki i ke kau wahi aku. (Loaa he Kaula kilokilo. Olelo ua kaula nei, he kino akua ko Pamano.) A no ka nui o ka poe hoopaapaa me ke kaula, lalau ua kaula nei i ka lau ape a hoomoe i ke alanui. Olelo ke Kaula. “I hoomoe au i ka lau ape i ke alanui, a i nahae ole, he akua. Aka, i nahae he kanaka.” Ma keia mau hana a ke Kaula ua ike o Pamano. I aku ke Kaula i na kanaka: “E nana oukou.” Hele aku la o Pamano a hiki i ka lau ape, papale ae la na wawae, a nahae iho la ka lau ape. A ike na kanaka ua nahae ka lau ape, hoole la i ke Kaula me ka olelo aku, he hoopunipuni. Ia wa hahai ke Kaula ia Pamano, a ike na kaikuahine o Pamano i ke Kaula, e uhai ana. Hookuu ia ka uhane ino maluna o ke Kaula, lilo i pupule.

RELATING TO KEAKA AND KOOLAU.

NO KEAKA A ME KOOLAU.

Some time after this the two were to have a kilu night; so people from all parts began to come to the royal dancing hall to witness the kilu games of the chiefs.

Upon the approach of the night when the kilu was to take place, Pamano and several others came to the dancing hall. Pamano on getting into the hall went and sat within the cloak of a man who had on a very large cloak or wrapper, and there he hid himself.

When the time for the commencement of the game approached Keaka came out and chanted the very meles composed and sung by Pamano. Then followed a recess. Pamano after awhile chanted from within his hiding place, the chants recited by him to Koolau while he and Keaka were in the house. While Pamano was chanting, Keaka began to make a search for the chanter, weeping at the same time, for she was aware that none knew these chants save Pamano and herself. After a time she found him. Pamano then said to her: “I will never be your husband as long as Kaiuli, Waipu and Koolau are alive. After they are dead I will live with you.” When Keaka heard this she ordered some men to start an oven; and after it was heated, the three, Kaiuli, Waipu and Koolau were all killed and put into the oven. After this Pamano took Keaka to be his wife.

Aia hoi, he po kilu no laua, malaila e akoakoa ai na mea a pau, e nana i ke kilu ana a na ’lii. A kokoke mai ka po e kilu ai, hiki aku la o Pamano me na kanaka i kahi kilu.
