Stories from the Legend of Laieikawai.

Chapter I.

Relating to Aiohikupua.—To Haunaka.

Mokuna I.

No Aiohikupua.—No Haunaka.

Aiohikupua was a very strong man, both in boxing and wrestling. When he set sail from Maui and landed at Kauhola, in Kohala, he found the people gathered at Hinakahua, where they were holding their customary games of boxing, wrestling and other manly exhibitions of strength. At this place he met Ihuanu, a very expert and strong boxer who belonged to that district, Kohala.

He kanaka ikaika o Aiohikupua i ke kui a me ka mokomoko. Ia ia i holo ai mai Maui aku a pae ma Kauhola i Kohala, e mokomoko ana o Hinakahua. Kahi o na kanaka a pau e piha ana. Ilaila o Ihuanu, he kanaka ikaika no Kohala i ke kui.

When Aiohikupua and his companions came ashore in Kohala they proceeded up to see the wrestling. When they arrived at the grounds, Ihuanu came out and challenged: “Who is to come from that side and meet me, wrestling?” No one was seen to come and accept the challenge because they were all afraid of him. After this Ihuanu turned to Aiohikupua and said: “Say, stranger, you had better join in the fun.” When Aiohikupua heard the invitation he went up to Ihuanu and said: “Say, son of the soil, you have asked me to join you in the fun, and this is what I wish to say to you: Get two others beside yourself on your side, making three of you. With that number the stranger will feel it worth while to join you.” When Ihuanu heard this from Aiohikupua, he made reply: “You are a very conceited man. I am the best man among all the people of Kohala, and here you have asked that there must be three of us on one side to meet you alone on your side. You are the most conceited man that I have ever seen. What are you to me?”

A pae o Aiohikupua ma Kohala, pii aku la lakou e ike i ka mokomoko. A hiki lakou, oili mai la o Ihuanu, a kahea mai la: “Owai mai ma kela aoao e mokomoko mai me a’u,” aohe kanaka aa mai, ua makau ia o Ihuanu e na mea a pau loa. A pau ka olelo ana a Ihuanu, huli ae la ia a olelo mai ia Aiohikupua: “E ka malihini, e pono paha ke lealea.” A lohe o Aiohikupua i keia leo o Ihuanu, hele aku la ia a kokoke, a olelo aku la: “E ke kamaaina! ua noi mai oe ia’u, e lealea kaua. A eia hoi ka’u ia oe. I elua ma kou aoao, hui pu me oe, akolu. Alaila, akolu oukou, e aho ia mikomiko iho ka malihini.” A lohe o Ihuanu i keia olelo a Aiohikupua, olelo mai la ia: “He oi oe o ke kanaka olelo hookano. Owau no ka oi mamua o na mea a pau o Kohala nei, a ke olelo mai nei oe i ekolu aku makou ma kekahi aoao, a i hookahi oe. He keu oe o ke kanaka wahahee, heaha la oe i kuu manao.”

Aiohikupua then boasted, saying to Ihuanu: “I am not going to stand up and box with you unless you have three on your side. And what do I care for you and the people that have gathered here? I can turn this crowd into nothing with my left hand.” Because of these words of Aiohikupua, one of the strong men in Kohala who had come to witness the games came up behind Aiohikupua and said to him: “Say, don’t get Ihuanu angry, for he is the strongest man in Kohala; there is nothing kept away from him when he asks.” At this Aiohikupua pushed him to one side whereby the man was killed. Upon seeing this, one of the warriors came up behind Ihuanu and said to him: “Say, Ihuanu, we see that our side will not be victorious this day. I am sure the stranger will win out, because one of our companions is killed by just receiving a mere push. Therefore I beg of you that the crowd be dispersed and the games brought to an end and you withdraw your challenge and meet the stranger in a kindly way and shake hands, and in that way save yourself.” By these words the hot anger in Ihuanu was rekindled, and so he replied: “Say, my men, don’t be afraid because of the death of that man from the push he received. Did I not do the very same thing some few days ago? Then why should you all be afraid? But if you are afraid, then go and hide your faces in the sky; and if you should hear that Ihuanu is victorious, remember it was by the blow known as Kanikapihe, the blow the teacher has not instructed you of, for I see he will not be able to overcome me, for I hear the end of my loin cloth snap behind me.” His companions then said to him: “We have nothing more to say to you, we have done our part. Stand up then and face your opponent; perhaps you will be saved by means of the blow your teacher has not instructed us of, and perhaps the end of your loin cloth did tell you the truth.” With this the companions of Ihuanu retired to the outer edge of the crowd.

I aku o Aiohikupua i kana olelo kaena i mua o Ihuanu: “Aole au e ku aku ana e kui me oe, ke ku ole mai oukou ekolu i mua o’u. A heaha la oe a me ka lehulehu ia’u? e hiki ia’u ke hoolilo i keia aha i mea ole, i loko o kuu lima hema.” A no keia olelo a Aiohikupua, hele mai la kekahi koa ikaika a ma ke kua o Aiohikupua. Olelo mai la: “E! mai olelo aku oe ia Ihuanu, o ko Kohala oi no kela, aohe puko momona ia ia.” Ia wa, huli ae la o Aiohikupua a papale ae la. Ia wa no make loa ua kanaka ala. Hele mai la kekahi mau koa a ma ke kua o Ihuanu, a olelo mai la: “E Ihuanu, ke ike nei makou, aole e lanakila ana ko kakou aoao i keia la. Ma kuu manao paa, o ka malihini ke lanakila ana. No ka mea, ua make ko kakou kanaka, i pale wale ia mai nei no, o ka make ia. Nolaila, ke noi aku nei au e hui ka aha, e pau ka mokomoko ana, a me kou aa ana i ka malihini, a e aloha olua me ka lulu lima ana, alaila oe ola.” Ma keia olelo, ua hoaa ia ko Ihuanu huhu wela loa. Nolaila, olelo aku o Ihuanu: “E ko’u poe kanaka, mai hopohopo, ma ka make ana o kela kanaka o kakou, ma ke pale ana o ka lima. Aole anei au i hana pela, mamua aku nei, a heaha la ko oukou mea i makau ai? Nolaila, ina hopo oukou, alaila, e huna aku i ko oukou mau maka i ke aouli. A i lohe aku oukou, ua lanakila o Ihuanu, e hoomanao oukou i kuu puupuu o Kanikapihe, ka ai a ke kumu i koe ia oukou, aole i ao ia. No ka mea, ke ike nei au aole e lanakila mai oia maluna o’u, no ka mea, ua kani ka pola o kuu malo i ka hope.” I aku na hoa mokomoko ia Ihuanu: “Ua pau ka makou olelo ia oe, aohe olelo i koe, ku ia i mua o ko hoa. Malama o pakele oe i ka ai a ko kumu i koe ia makou, a pela no hoi ka pola o ko malo.” Alaila, nee aku la na hoa ma waho o ka aha mokomoko.

While Ihuanu was boasting before the people, Aiohikupua came out of the crowd and stood in the presence of Ihuanu, then clapped his arms around his body and said to Ihuanu: “Say, Ihuanu, strike sixteen blows at my middle.” When Ihuanu heard this from Aiohikupua he turned and surveyed the crowd that was around them and when he saw a small boy, who was being held in the arms of a certain person, he called out: “Let that small boy come and strike Aiohikupua.” Continuing, Ihuanu said boastingly: “Let this small boy strike you.” When Aiohikupua heard this from Ihuanu, his anger welled up within him until his very hair stood on end; he then turned to the people and said: “What man is willing to face the boy from Kauai? I will therefore at this time say, that my god is able to give me the victory over your strong man this day and to make his head a plaything for my canoe men.” After making the above remarks, he prayed to his god as follows:

Ia Ihuanu e olelo kaena ana i mua o ka aha, oili mai la o Aiohikupua a ma ke alo o Ihuanu ku iho la, a upoipoi na lima, me ka olelo aku ia Ihuanu: “E Ihuanu, kui ia i kuu piko a pololei, i eha kauna kui.” (Ua like me umikumamaono puupuu.) A lohe o Ihuanu i keia olelo a Aiohikupua, huli ae la o Ihuanu a puni ka aha mokomoko. A ike aku la i kekahi keiki opiopio e hii ia mai ana, kahea aku la ia, e hele mai e kui ia Aiohikupua. Wahi a na olelo kaena a Ihuanu: “Na keia keiki opiopio oe e kui.” A lohe o Aiohikupua i keia olelo a Ihuanu. Pii ae la kona huhu a ke poo o kalakala. Huli aku la o Aiohikupua a olelo i ka aha kanaka. “Owai ke kanaka i aa mai i ko Kauai keiki nei, nolaila, ke olelo nei au. He hiki i kuu akua ke haawi mai ia’u e lanakila maluna o ko oukou kanaka ikaika i keia la. A e hoolilo hoi i ke poo i milimili na kuu poe hoewaa.” A mahope o keia mau olelo a Aiohikupua, pule iho la ia i kona mau akua, penei:

Lanipipili, Lanioaka,
Lanikahuliomealani.
Say, Hekilikaakaa,
Say, Nakolowailani,
Recognize your offspring,
Look at your child
And present me with the head of Ihuanu,
That the multitude might see
That I am the conqueror.
It is ended, the kapu is released.

Lanipipili, Lanioaka,
Lanikahuliomealani,
E Hekilikaakaa,
E Nakolowailani,
E ike i ka oukou pulapula,
E nana i ka oukou Kama,
E haawi mai ke poo o Ihuanu
I ike keia aha apau loa,
Owau ka lanakila maluna,
Amama, ua noa.

At the close of the prayer, Aiohikupua asked his opponent: “Are you ready, Ihuanu, to strike at me?” Ihuanu replied: “I will not strike you. I want you to strike at me.” When the boxing teacher of Ihuanu heard what his pupil had answered he came up to his side and said to him: “If he should again ask you to strike him do it, because this is the proper time.” Shortly after this Aiohikupua again requested of Ihuanu to strike him. At this request, Ihuanu let drive at his opponent but did not hit him, for Aiohikupua was on his guard and dodged. After dodging this blow from Ihuanu, Aiohikupua struck at his opponent, hitting him just below the chest so strong that the fist of Aiohikupua went clear through and came out at the back. Aiohikupua then raised up his arm, with the body of Ihuanu on it, twirled the body around over his head and then threw it outside of the rows of people that were standing around. At sight of this great strength a mighty shout came from the people and after this they began to disperse. After this Aiohikupua went over to the place where the body of Ihuanu was lying and cut off his head and took it to his canoe men, and they all returned to their double canoe, which they boarded and set sail for Hamakua, landing at Paauhau.

A pau ka pule, olelo aku o Aiohikupua, ua makaukau anei oe e Ihuanu e kui mai ia’u? Olelo mai o Ihuanu: “Aole au e kui ia oe, nau e kui mai ia’u.” A lohe ke kumu kui a Ihuanu, hele mai la a ma ka aoao. I mai la: “E! i olelo hou mai e kui oe, kui ia, no ka mea, o ka manawa iho la no ia.” Mahope o laila, ninau hou o Aiohikupua ia Ihuanu, e waiho mai ana o Ihuanu i ka puupuu, hu ka makani, aole nae i ku o Aiohikupua, no ka mea, ua alo ia, a hala ae la ka Ihuanu puupuu. A hala ka Ihuanu puupuu, e poho lalo ae ana o Aiohikupua i kana puupuu, komo i ka houpo, a hula ma ke kua. Ia wa kaikai o Aiohikupua ia Ihuanu me ke koali i ka lima, a kiola aku la ma waho o ka aha. Uwa ae la ka pihe, hui ka aha. Lalau iho la o Aiohikupua i ke poo o Ihuanu a lawe ae la na na hoewaa, a hoi aku la i na waa, a holo aku la a pae ma Paauhau i Hamakua.

RELATING TO HAUNAKA.

NO HAUNAKA.

Haunaka was the strongest man, in boxing and wrestling, in the whole of Paauhau and he was at this time very famous. In fact his fame had traversed over the whole district of Hamakua.

O ko Paauhau kanaka oi ia i ke kui a me ka mokomoko, he kanaka ikaika loa ma ia hana. A ua laha ae kona kaulana a puni o Hamakua.

When the canoe of Aiohikupua touched at the landing at Paauhau, he jumped ashore and asked of the people of the place, saying: “What is that shouting in the uplands?” One of the men said: “The people are gathered there to witness the champion wrestler, Haunaka, the strongest man in the district.” When Aiohikupua heard this he proceeded to the place where the games were being held. As soon as he arrived, Haunaka called out to him: “Come here.” When Aiohikupua came in the presence of Haunaka, he said: “You will never be able to hurt the boy from Kauai for he is like the branch of a tree that stands on the side of a cliff.” While Aiohikupua was saying this one of the men who had seen him in Kohala came up and said to Haunaka: “Say, Haunaka and the company gathered here, this is the very man who struck Ihuanu, in Kohala, and killed him. This man’s blow is sharp like the point of a spear; you people will therefore have no chance against him.” When Haunaka heard this he came up to Aiohikupua and extended his greetings. At the conclusion of the games Aiohikupua returned to his canoe and set sail for Hilo, on his way in search of his lover, Laieikawai.

Ia lakou e piha ana ma Paauhau, lele aku la o Aiohikupua a pae i uka. Ninau aku la i ke kamaaina: “Heaha keia uwa o uka?” I mai la ke kamaaina: “He mokomoko na Haunaka, koonei mokomoko nui.” Pii aku la o Aiohikupua a hiki. Kahea mai la o Haunaka: “Hele mai.” A hiki o Aiohikupua i mua o Haunaka, olelo aku la o Aiohikupua. “Aole e eha ke keiki o Kauai ia oe. He lala kamahele no ka laau ku pali.” Ia Aiohikupua e kamailio ana, hele mai la kekahi kanaka i ike ia ia i Kohala nei, a kahea ae la ia Haunaka. “E Haunaka a me ka aha. O ke kanaka no nei nana i kui mai nei o Ihuanu, i Kohala, a make loa. O kai nei puupuu, ua like me ka pololu ka oi, nolaila, aole oukou e ola.” A lohe o Haunaka, hele mai la ia a aloha ia Aiohikupua, a pau ae la ka mokomoko, hoi mai la o Aiohikupua a holo i Hilo, e imi i ka wahine ia Laieikawai.

Chapter II.

Relating to Kihanuilulumoku.—Ulili and Aikeehiale.

Mokuna II.

No Kihanuilulumoku.—Ulili a me Aikeehiale.

Kihanuilulumoku was the god of Kahalaomapuana and her sisters, who were living in Paliuli. This god had a very large and wide mouth. When opened the upper lip would touch the heaven while the lower lip touched the ground. This god was very powerful and nothing could overcome him. He was also very brave and he was placed as the watchman at Paliuli, where Laieikawai was residing.

O Kihanuilulumoku, he ’kua ia no Kahalaomapuana ma, i Paliuli kahi i noho ai. He oi kona waha i ka nui a me ke akea, e pa ka lehelehe luna i ka lani, a o ka lehelehe lalo i ka honua. A he ikaika loa ia mamua o na mea a pau loa, a he koa, a he kiai no Paliuli kahi o Laieikawai e noho ana. I ka wa e noho ana na kaikuahine o Aiohikupua i Paliuli, oia o Kahalaomapuana ma, e kiai ia. Hiki aku la o Aiohikupua a pae i kai o Keaau i Puna.

While the sisters of Aiohikupua, Kahalaomapuana and her sisters, were acting as the guards of Laieikawai in Paliuli, Aiohikupua arrived in Puna and landed at Keaau.

O ka nui o na waa o Aiohikupua ma keia holo ana, he iwakalua kaulua, elua kanaha kaukahi, he kanaha waa peleleu nui, a he mau waa ohua ka nui. A he nui hoi na kanaka koa ma keia holo ana a Aiohikupua, a me na lii. Na mea kaua a pau loa, a me ka ilio aikanaka a Aiohikupua, o Kalahumoku ka inoa.

The number of canoes on this expedition under the command of Aiohikupua, was twenty double canoes, eighty single canoes and forty large war canoes, besides several single ones carrying the servants. Aiohikupua had a large army with him on this expedition and with him were several chiefs. These warriors were all well armed and Aiohikupua had with him his man-eating dog, called Kalahumoku.

A mahope o ka pae ana o na waa o Aiohikupua ma Keaau, pii aku la ia me kona kuhina i Paliuli e nana ia Laieikawai. A hiki o Aiohikupua me kona kuhina i Paliuli, e noho ana na kaikuahine o Aiohikupua, he mau kiai no Laieikawai.

After the army had disembarked from the canoes at Keaau, Aiohikupua with his chief adviser went up to Paliuli to see Laieikawai. When they arrived at Paliuli, they saw the sisters of Aiohikupua guarding Laieikawai. When the sisters saw their brother, they said to him: “Say, Aiohikupua, you must go back at once for a kapu has been placed over this place.” Aiohikupua would not listen to this order, but insisted on staying. Kahalaomapuana then said to him: “If you insist on remaining here you will be killed.” When Aiohikupua heard this he turned and went back, filled with bitter anger. When he reached Keaau he ordered ten men to go up and put his sisters to death.

Olelo mai la lakou: “E Aiohikupua, e hoi oe ano, he kapu o uka nei.” Hoopaa aku o Aiohikupua. I mai o Kahalaomapuana: “Ina oe e paa loa mai, make oe ano.” A lohe o Aiohikupua, a hoi mai la me ka huhu wela loa. A hiki i Keaau, kena aku la he umi kanaka, e pii e pepehi i na kaikuahine a make.

While Aiohikupua was giving his orders to the men, Waka, the grandmother of Laieikawai, by her supernatural powers, was aware of what Aiohikupua was up to, so she told the facts to Kahalaomapuana, the chief adviser of Laieikawai. When she heard this she prayed to Kihanuilulumoku as follows:

Ia Aiohikupua e olelo ana i na kanaka e pii, ike mai la o Waka, ke kupunawahine o Laieikawai i keia hana a Aiohikupua. Hai aku la o Waka ia Kahalaomapuana, ko Laieikawai kuhina nui, a lohe ia, pule aku la ia ia Kihanuilulumoku, penei:

Say, Kihanuilulumoku,
Our all powerful god;
Watch for the enemy,
The mischievous people of the land,
And put them to death
Sparing none.
Be watchful however of Kalahumoku,
The man-eating dog of Aiohikupua.
If you are careless we are lost;
Let all your strength be at your command.
It is ended, the kapu is removed.

E Kihanuilulumoku,
Ko makou akua mana,
Nana ia ke kupu,
Ka eu o ka aina nei la,
Pepehi ia a make,
A holo ke olohelohe,
E ao nae oe ia Kalahumoku,
I ka ilio aikanaka a Aiohikupua,
Hemahema oe pau kakou,
Kulia ko ikaika a pau i luna,
Amama, ua noa, lele wale.

By early dawn of the next morning, the ten warriors, with the chief adviser of Aiohikupua, arrived at Paliuli. After their arrival the trees were heard to be rustling and the wind began to moan, caused by the tongue of Kihanuilulumoku. After they had advanced along the way they got further and further into the middle of the mouth of the lizard [god, Kihanuilulumoku], the upper jaw then came down and the men were shut up in the mouth and were swallowed; no one escaped to carry the tidings to Aiohikupua.

Ia po a wanaao, hiki na koa he umi i uka, me ke kuhina o Aiohikupua. Mahope o ko lakou hiki ana i Paliuli, nehe ana ka laau a me ka makani i ke alelo o Kihanuilulumoku. Ia lakou e hoomau ana i ka hele, kaa loa lakou i waena o ka waha o ua moo nei. Ia wa, maluna ke a luna, he poi ana iho na luna, pau loa lakou nei i loko, aohe ahailono i koe aku, e lohe ai o Aiohikupua.

After waiting for two days for the return of his men, Aiohikupua again sent up more men, twenty of the best of his warriors, and orders were given them to go and put his sisters to death. When the men reached Paliuli the lizard caught and ate them all.

Elua la i hala o ke kali ana o Aiohikupua, aohe hoi mai o kela poe, nolaila, hoouna aku la ia he iwakalua poe koa loa ona, e pii e pepehi i na kaikuahine. Pii aku la, lakou a hiki, hamo mai la no ka moo pau i ka ai ia.

The chief waited until the expiration of one day, when he again sent up more men, forty warriors, and on their arrival at Paliuli, the lizard killed these also. Because of the continued absence of his men the thought entered Aiohikupua to dispatch his fleetest messengers to find out the cause of the non-return of his men.

Kakali hou ke ’lii, a hala hou he la, hoouna hou i na koa he kanaha ka nui, a hiki no i uka, pau no i ka make i ka moo. Ma keia hoi ole mai o na koa, kupu ae la ko Aiohikupua manao e hoouna i kana mau elele mama loa, i maopopo ke kumu o ka hoi ole ana mai i kai nei.

ULILI AND AIKEEHIALE.

ULILI A ME AIKEEHIALE.

Ulili and Aikeehiale were the fleetest of Aiohikupua’s messengers. While they were going along the road they met a man who inquired: “Where are you two going?” They replied: “We are going up to see about our people, for they have not returned.” The man said: “They have been killed by the man-eating lizard who lives up here, called Kihanuilulumoku.” At the conclusion of this conversation, the two messengers continued on their way up. Not very long after this they heard the rustling of the leaves and the low murmuring of the wind, which reminded them of the conversation they just had with the man. The two messengers then changed themselves into the form of birds and flew up. When they reached a good ways up they looked about them and saw that the rays of the sun were hidden, and in looking to see the cause of this they saw it was the upper jaw of the mouth of the lizard. At sight of this they continued flying until they reached a point above the jaw. From this position they looked down and saw the trees and earth uprooted as though a large oo was tearing up the ground, causing them to tremble because of its terribleness. By what they saw they made sure that all their men had been killed by the lizard. The two then returned to Aiohikupua and related what they had seen. When Aiohikupua heard this he sent for Kalahumoku, his man-eating dog.

O laua na elele mama a Aiohikupua. Ia laua e pii ana ma ke alanui, halawai mai la he kanaka, a ninau mai la: “E pii ana olua i hea?” “E pii ana maua e nana i ko makou poe, aohe hoi ae nei.” Olelo mai la kela: “Ua make aku la i ka moo aikanaka o uka nei, oia o Kihanuilulumoku.” A pau ke kamailio ana, pii aku la laua, nehe mai ana ka lau o ka laau, e hele ana ma o a ma o, e hu ana ka makani noonoo iho la laua i ka olelo a ke kanaka. Ia wa, lele laua i luna me ko laua kino manu. I nana ae ka hana, malu ana maluna. A ike laua o ke a luna, e oni ae ana laua i luna loa a pakele aku la i ka moo. A hala laua maluna o ke a luna, o ka moo, i nana iho ka hana, hele ana ka laau o lalo, me he oo palau la ka owe o ka honua, a he mea weliweli loa ia laua ke nana iho. Nolaila, mapopo ia laua ua pau na kanaka o lakou i ka make i ka moo, nolaila, hoi aku la laua a olelo ia Aiohikupua i ka laua mea i ike ai. Ia wa, kii o Kalahumoku, ka ilio ai kanaka a Aiohikupua.

Chapter III.

Relating to Kalahumoku.—Battle Between the Dog and Lizard.

Mokuna III.

No Kalahumoku.—Ke Kaua Ana o ka Ilio me ka Moo.

Kalahumoku was a man-eating dog from Kahiki. He had two natures, that of a god and that of a human being. As a dog he had supernatural powers and was possessed of very great strength in fighting.

He ilio ai kanaka o Kalahumoku no Kahiki mai. Elua ano, he ’kua, he kanaka. He ilio mana, he ilio ikaika loa ma ka hakaka ana.

When the dog came into his presence Aiohikupua said: “You go up and kill the lizard, and after that go and kill all my sisters.” After Aiohikupua had issued these orders the dog then turned and addressed the chiefs and all the men as follows:

I aku o Aiohikupua, e pii oe e pepehi i ka moo a make, alaila, luku oe i o’u mau kaikuahine a pau i ka make. A pau ka Aiohikupua olelo, hai aku ka ilio i kona manao, i na ’lii a me na kanaka a pau loa, penei:

You must all keep looking to the uplands,
And if you should see the fog go straight up
And then lean over toward the lee side,
Know that I have met Kihanuilulumoku,
And you can be assured that we have become friends.
But if the fog should lean toward the windward
Know that we are being engaged in battle;
Then you must pray to the god Lanipipili.
After that look again and if you should see the fog lean toward the sea, here,
Know that the lizard has won out.
But if, however, the fog should lean toward the mountain
Know that I have defeated the lizard,
And I have conquered over it.
Therefore, you must continue praying for me.

E nana oukou i uka,
I pii ka ohu a pololei i luna,
A hina ka ohu ma ka lulu,
Ua halawai au me Kihanuilulumoku,
Manao ae oukou ua hoaikane maua,
A i hina ka ohu i ka makani,
Ua hakaka maua,
Alaila, pule oukou i ke ’kua ia Lanipipili.
Nana ae oukou a i hina ka ohu i kai nei,
Ua lanakila ka moo,
Aka hoi i pii ka ohu a moe i ke kuahiwi,
Ua hee ka moo ia’u,
A ua lanakila au maluna,
Nolaila, e hoomau oukou i ka pule no’u.

THE BATTLE BETWEEN THE DOG AND LIZARD.

KE KAUA ANA O KA ILIO ME KA MOO.

When Kalahumoku arrived at Paliuli, he found the lizard sleeping, so he continued on up leaving the lizard behind him and after some time he came to the place where the guards were stationed.

A hiki o Kalahumoku i uka o Paliuli, e moe ana ka moo, nolaila, hala ka moo mahope nei, kaa loa ka ilio i kahi o na kiai e noho ana.

Shortly after this the lizard, Kihanuilulumoku, smelt the dog and so it awoke from its sleep and followed on after Kalahumoku until they met. Kihanuilulumoku then opened wide its mouth to bite, when Kalahumoku showed its sharp teeth. The two then jumped at each other and a terrible battle was fought, biting one another. Not very long after this the lizard conquered over Kalahumoku; his ears were cut off and his tail was bitten off short.

A no ka hohono o ka ilio puoho ae la o Kihanuilulumoku, a ala ae la, hanu aku la a loaa o Kalahumoku. Wehe ae la o Kihanuilulumoku i kona waha e nahu, ia wa, hoike o Kalahumoku i kona mau niho oi loa. Ia wa laua i lele ai me ka weliweli loa, e nahu ana kekahi i kekahi, aole i liuliu iho, lanakila ka moo maluna o Kalahumoku. Pau na pepeiao a mumuku, moku ka huelo.

While the two were engaged in this conflict, Aiohikupua and his men watched the fog. They saw it rise up straight, and after it had reached some distance in the sky, it leaned toward the sea, which caused Aiohikupua to think that Kalahumoku was defeated.

Ia laua ala e kaua ana, he mea mau ia Aiohikupua ma, ka nana i ka ohu. Pii ae la ka ohu a pololei i luna, moe i kai, manao iho la no o Aiohikupua, ua pio o Kalahumoku.

Sometime after this the dog arrived and when they looked at it they saw that its ears were cut off and the tail was cut off short. This ended the desire of Aiohikupua to stay in Puna and he and his men boarded their canoes and returned to Kauai, without obtaining Laieikawai. Thus was the plan of Aiohikupua to kill his sisters defeated.

Mahope o laila, hoi mai la ka ilio a hiki, i nana aku ka hana, ua mumuku na pepeiao, ua poomoku ka huelo. Pau ae la ka manao i ka noho, nolaila, hoi mai la lakou ma na waa i Kauai, me ka loaa ole o Laieikawai. Pela iho la ka make hewa o ko Aiohikupua manao pepehi i kona mau kaikuahine.
