ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū: Mokuna ʻUmi

Ma ʻaneʻi, e hoʻolohe kākou i nā ʻōlelo nīnau a nā kaikoʻeke o ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū ʻehā, a e nānā kākou i ko lākou aloha i ko lākou kaikoʻeke. A e hoʻomanaʻo iho i nā ʻōlelo mua i hala, penei: “I kēia lā e ʻike ai ʻoe i ka pono o ke akua.” Nīnau maila nā kaikoʻeke o ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū, “ ʻEā! Ua hāʻawi mai anei ko wahine iā ʻoe i nā kino ona a pau loa?” “ ʻAe.” Pēlā ʻo ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū. “Nā kino hea ka mea a ko wahine i hāʻawi mai ai iā ʻoe?” “ ʻO ke kino pali, ʻo ke kino kai, ʻo ke kino ahi.” ʻĪ aku nā kaikoʻeke, “ ʻAʻole i pau loa maila nā kino o ko wahine. Koe akula ke kino lele iā ʻoe.” “ ʻAe, ua ʻauʻa kuʻu wahine i ia mea, ʻaʻole i hāʻawi mai iaʻu.” ʻĪ aku nā kaikoʻeke, “No ka manaʻo o ko wahine, o lele loa ʻoe a nalowale, ʻaʻole e hoʻi hou mai. No laila, ʻauʻa kēlā.” Ma hope o kēia mau ʻōlelo, ʻī aku nā kaikoʻeke, “E aʻo kākou iā ʻoe i ke kino lele o ko wahine, i ʻike ʻoe. Eia naʻe, mai ʻōlelo ʻoe i ko wahine.”

I ka pō, moe ihola ʻo Nāmakaokahaʻi i ko lāua wahi, ʻo ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū hoʻi, a me nā kaikoʻeke, he hale ʻē aku. A ma ia hale, ma laila lākou i aʻo ai iā ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū i ka lele. ʻĪ aku lākou iā ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū, “E lele ʻoe a luna o ka ipu, kau.” Lele aʻela ʻo ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū a kau ana i luna o ka ipu. “E lele hou ʻoe a kau i luna o ka lohelau o ka hale.” Lele aʻela nō ʻo ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū a kau ana i luna o laila, a mai laila iho, hāʻule hou ana i lalo.

Ma kēia hāʻule ʻana o ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū, ua lohe ʻo Nāmakaokahaʻi. Ala maila a kahi a nā kaikunāne e aʻo ana iā ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū, nīnau maila, “E aha ana ʻoukou?” “E kuʻi ana mākou.” “Pehea ia mea?” “Penei: ʻO Kānemoe ma ʻō mai e kū ai, kuʻi mai, a ʻo Kāneʻāpua ma ʻaneʻi aku e kuʻi ai. A hina iho nei ʻo Kāneʻāpua, ʻo ia ka halulu āu i lohe akula.” A lohe ʻo Nāmakaokahaʻi, ʻī maila, “ ʻŪ! Eia nō kā hoʻi he mea maikaʻi aku nō koe a kuʻu kāne, ʻo ka hūnā mai nei kā ia iaʻu; ʻaʻohe haʻi mai. Hoehaʻa nō hoʻi ʻoe e ke kāne lā.”

Ma hope o laila, hoʻi akula ʻo Nāmakaokahaʻi i ko lāua hale e moe ai. A hoʻi kēlā, lele hou aʻela ʻo ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū i luna o ka lohelau. ʻAʻohe kau, hāʻule ihola i lalo, pahū ana. Lohe hou ʻo Nāmakaokahaʻi i ka halulu. Hele maila ia a hiki, ʻōlelo maila i nā kaikunāne, “E oʻu poʻe kaikunāne, e aʻo ana paha ʻoukou i kuʻu kāne i ka lele i luna?” “ ʻAʻole, e hākōkō ana mākou.” “Pehea ia mea?” “Penei: Ma ʻō mai kekahi, ma ʻaneʻi aku kekahi. ʻApo nā lima, a laila, kulaʻi. A ʻo ka mea e hina ana, ʻo ia ka halulu āu e lohe lā.”

Ma kēia mau ʻōlelo, hoʻi akula nō ʻo Nāmakaokahaʻi, moe i ko lāua hale. Lele hou aʻela ʻo ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū ma loko aʻe o ka hale a hōʻea ma luna o kaupoku, a puka i waho o ka hale. Ma kēia puka ʻana, lele nō ʻo ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū a nalowale i ka lewa kiʻekiʻe loa. ʻAʻole hiki i nā kaikoʻeke ke ʻike aʻe. Ma hope o kēia lele ʻana, hoʻi ihola ʻo ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū, a hiki i lalo. ʻĪ aku nā kaikoʻeke, “Ua ʻike ʻoe i ka lele.” A loaʻa ke kino lele iā ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū, ʻaʻohe mea i koe me kāna wahine, me Nāmakaokahaʻi, ua pau loa i ke kāne.

Iā lāua e noho pū ana, he kāne a he wahine, ua ʻaʻaki ke aloha me ka hoʻopaʻa i ko lāua mau kino, a ua akāka loa ka hāpai keiki o kāna wahine akua, o Nāmakaokahaʻi. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i hānau, e hāpai ana nō i loko o ka ʻōpū. Ua kapa ʻo Nāmakaokahaʻi i ka inoa ke hānau aʻe, ʻo Kauilanuimakaʻehaikalani. ʻO ia kēlā uila a kākou e ʻike nei i loko o ka wā ua. A ʻo kā ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū inoa hoʻi i kapa iho ai no ua keiki nei, ʻo ka inoa o ke akua ona, ʻo Lonoikoualiʻi.

A no ka nui loa o ko Nāmakaokahaʻi aloha i ke kāne, iā ʻAukelenuiaʻīkū, no laila, pili paʻa loa lāua i ke kau a me ka hoʻoili, i ka lā a me ka ua, i ka wā wī a me ka wā māʻona, i ka pō a me ke ao, i nā lā a pau loa. No laila, ua hoʻoili aku ʻo Nāmakaokahaʻi i kona waiwai a pau loa, mai luna a lalo, mai uka a kai, mai ka mea ʻuʻuku a ka mea nui, mai loko a waho, ma luna o kāna kāne.
