ʻUmi: Mokuna ʻEkolu

Ko ʻUmi Noho ʻIlihune ʻAna

He akamai loa ʻo ʻUmi i ka heʻe nalu ʻana, i kona wā e noho ʻilihune ana ma Laupahoehoe. Iā ia e heʻe nalu ana, heihei ihola lāua ʻo Paiʻea, he kanaka akamai i ka heʻe nalu, no Laupāhoehoe. I ko lāua wā e heihei ana, hoʻokē loa ʻo Paiʻea iā ʻUmi i ka papa heʻe nalu, a ʻeha loa ko ʻUmi poʻohiwi. No laila, lilo ia i hala no Paiʻea e make ai iā ʻUmi i ka wā e puni ai ʻo Hawaiʻi iā ʻUmi.

A hiki i ke kau aku o Laupāhoehoe, holo akula ʻo ʻŌmaʻokāmau, ʻo Piʻimaiwaʻa, ʻo Koʻi, i ka hoehoe me kamaʻāina o laila, a loaʻa maila kā lākou aku, ʻoliʻoli iho ko lākou mau mākua hūnōai; akā, ʻo ko ʻUmi mau mākua hūnōai, kaumaha loa lāua, no kā lāua hūnōna, i ka loaʻa ʻole o ke aku. No laila, ʻōlelo mai ko ʻUmi mau mākua hūnōai i nā wahine a ʻUmi, “Inā paha ka puʻipuʻi o kā ʻolua kāne a e ikaika ana i ka hoe waʻa, ʻai ʻia ke aku; makehewa ko ʻolua kino iā ia.”

Ma hope o laila, ʻōlelo maila kekahi mau kamaʻāina iā ʻUmi, e holo e kāohi waʻa na lākou, ʻae akula nō ʻo ʻUmi i kā lākou ʻōlelo, a holo akula. Ma kēia holo ʻana o ʻUmi i ke kāohi aku, a hoʻi maila, hāʻawi ʻia maila kāna aku, ma lalo mai o ka lemu ka hāʻawi ʻana mai aka lawaiʻa. A ʻike ʻo ʻUmi, haʻalele akula ia i ia aku, ʻaʻole i lawe mai, akā, kūʻai ʻo ʻUmi i ia aku me kekahi mea aku ʻē aʻe, no ko ʻUmi ʻike ʻana ma lalo mai ka hāʻawi ʻana mai. No laila, ʻōlelo akula ʻo ʻUmi, “Eia kāu aku, ʻo kaʻu; he iʻa nui kēia, he ʻuʻuku kāu.” A pono aʻela kēia mea. ʻAʻole ʻo ʻUmi i ʻai i ua iʻa nei, hoʻihoʻi akula nō ia a hāʻawi na kona akua, na Kāʻili, aia nō ma Hōkuli kona wahi i huna ai, me ka ʻike ʻole ʻia.

He mea mau iā ʻUmi, ka holo i ke kāohi waʻa, a me ka lawe i aku na kona akua, na Kāʻili, ma ua wahi lā i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna. Eia hoʻi ka mea haʻohaʻo loa ʻia, ʻo ka piʻo mau o ke ānuenue i luna o ia wahi. No laila, haʻohaʻo ʻo Kaʻōleiokū, a manaʻo ihola ʻo Kaʻōleiokū, ʻo ʻUmi kai Iaila, no ka mea, ua lohe ʻia ko ʻU mi nalowale ʻana.

A laila, hopu ihola ʻo Kaʻōleiokū i ka puaʻa a iho maila e ʻike iā ʻUmi. A hiki ia, nānā akula ia i ke kino o ʻUmi, he kino hanohano, a kohu aliʻi, a paʻa ihola kona manaʻo ʻo ʻUmi ia. A laila, lālau ihola ʻo Kaʻōleiokū i ka puaʻa, a kaumaha akula iā ʻUmi, penei, “Eia ka puaʻa eke akua, he puaʻa ʻimi aliʻi.”

A pau ke kaumaha ʻana a Kaʻōleiokū i ka puaʻa, kuʻu akula ia i ka puaʻa a kū ma ko ʻUmi alo, a laila, huli hou maila ka puaʻa iā Kaʻōleiokū. A laila, nīnau aku ʻo Kaʻōleiokū, “ʻO ʻUmi no ʻoe?” ʻAe maila ʻo ʻUmi,” ʻAe, ʻo wau nō.” ʻĪ aku ʻo Kaʻōleiokū, “E hoʻi kāua i koʻu wahi.” ʻAe akula ʻo ʻUmi,” ʻAe.” I ia wā, ʻike kona mau mākua hūnōai a me nā kānaka a pau loa, he aliʻi kā kēia, ʻo ʻUmi, ʻo kā Līloa keiki, ka mea a lākou i lohe iho nei ua nalowale.

Lawe akula ʻo Kaʻōleiokū iā ʻUmi, a lilo aʻela i aliʻi nāna, a noho ihola me ia. I ia wā, hana ʻo Kaʻōleiokū i mea e lilo ai ke aupuni no kāna aliʻi, no ʻUmi, no ka mea, ua maopopo iā ia, he aliʻi nui ʻo ʻUmi, a e kū ana i ka moku ʻo Hawaiʻi, a e loaʻa ana nō hoʻi iā ia ka pōmaikaʻi. Haānai ihola ia i nā kānaka, ka holoholona, mahi ʻai, aʻo i ka ʻōʻō ihe, kūkulu i mau hale aʻo i ke ʻano kaua, a me nā mea a pau loa. A no loko mai o kēia aʻo ʻana, ʻo nā kānaka akamai a koa hoʻi, ʻo ia ʻo Koʻi, ʻŌmaʻokamau a ʻo Piʻimaiwaʻa.

Ma kēia noho ʻana, he nui loa nā kānaka o ka hale hoʻokahi, ʻehā kaʻau ka nui (ua like me 160 i ka hale hoʻokahi), pēla a pau nā kaʻau hale ʻehā. Pēlā ʻo Kaʻōleiokū I hoʻomākaukau ai no kāna aliʻi, no ʻUmi, no ko Kaʻōleiokū manaʻo e lilo ana ke aupuni no kāna aliʻi, no ʻUmi.
