Ma keia olelo a Kawaimuiaola, oia wale iho no, kulii na mea a pan loa he kane 

 ka Kawauniiiaola, i ke kamailio mehe mea ala elua ka walaau. 



Eia ka ai la e ke akua, 



E liina mai ka lani kui aloha i loko, 



E muki e! Eia ka ai. 



Na muki ka ai, 



Na ke akua lele po, 



E liina i uka, 



E hina i kai, 



E hiua a ka alualu moana, 



E uhao no ka pololi i loko, 



A hoehoene ana i loko o ka hei, 



O ka hikii paa no, 



Ka huluhulu o ke akua, 



Aohe ka paa a okole hakahaka, 



O ka paa no a okole puu. 



Ina ka puu nui i loko la he aloha. 



Hoeahoe, Hoeahoe-a. 



Ka ka lawaia hoe la i ka moana, 



Ka ka mahiai hoe la i waena. 



Ka ke akua hoe la i ke ala. 



Pehea la auanei ka pono? 



Ma kahi no a olua e hele ai, 



Mai Kula a Hamakua, 



Peepee puhala ka ua o Hamakua, 



Ka ua o Hunahuna-lauki, 



E huna aku oe i kuu mea ilaila. 



Ma keia man hana a Kawaimuiaola, i imi ai me ka maalea, hele aku la ka poe 

 i lohe i keia mau olelo a hiki i ke kane ia Hoeu, olelo aku la: "E Hoeu! Kupanaha ko 

 wahine o Kawaimuiaola, he kane paha ko wahine e walaau ana, elua leo, he leo wahine, 

 he leo kane, he kane hoao paha na ko wahine?" A lohe o Hoeu i keia olelo a keia poe, 

 ku ae la ia a haalele i kana wahine e noho pu ana, ka wahine nana i kaili iaia mai a 

 Kawaimuiaola mai. Hele aku la ia e hui me Kawaunuiaola ma Kula, a hiki ia i mua 

 o kana wahine, ninau aku la ke kane e like me kona lohe, hoole mai ka wahine: "Aohe 

 a'li kane, owaii wale no." Hoi ae la laua a noho pu e like me mamua, he kane a he 

 wahine. Nani ka maalea o kana wahine. 



Kaao no Aiai. 



OKUULA ka makuakaue o Hina ka makuahine, o Aiai ke keiki, o Niolopa i Nuu- 

 anii ka aina. He mau lawaia o Kuula me kana wahine o Hina, na laua ka pa 

 ai, o Kahuoi ka inoa. O ka manu, o Kamanuwai, ke kiai o ua pa nei o Kahuoi; 

 o kahi e waiho ai o ua pa nei o Kaumakapili; he pa ai o Kahuoi. Ke holo o Kuula i 

 ka hi aku i waho o Mamala, na ke aku no e pii a e komo na waa, a o ka ai no hoi ia a 

 ua manu nei o ka ia.
