I mai o Waka, “Apopo, ma ka puka ana o ka la, oia ka wa e a-u

ola noe, e hoouna aku no wau ia oe maluna o na manu a hui olua me 
Kekalukaluokewa me ka ike oleia, aia a pau ka uhi ana o ka noe 
maluna o ka aina, ia manawa e ike aku ai na mea a pau, o oe kekahi 
me Kekalukaluokewa e hee mai ana i ka nalu hookahi, oia ka manawa 
e loaa’i ko ihu i ke keiki Kauai. Nolaila, i kou puka ana mailoko 
aku nei o kou hale, aole oe e kamailio iki aku i kekahi mea e ae, 
aole i kekahi kane, aole hoi i kekahi wahine, aia a laa ko ihu ia 
Kekalukaluokewa, oia kou manawa e kamailio ai me na mea e ae. 
Aia a pau ka olua heenalu ana, alaila, e hoouna aku wau i na manu, 
a me ka noe maluna o ka aina, o kou manawa ia e hoi mai ai me ko: 
kane a loko o ko olua hale, alaila, e hoolaaia ko kino e like me ko’u 
makemake.” 
A pau keia mau mea i ka haiia ia Laieikawai, hoi aku la oia ma. 
kona Halealii, oia a me kona kahu. 
Ia Laieikawai me kona kahu ma ka hale, mahope iho o ke kauoha 
ana a kona kupunawahine. Hoouna ae la oia i kona kahu e kii aku 
ia Mailehaiwale, Mailekaluhea, Mailelaulii, Mailepakaha, a me Kaha- 
Jaomapuana, kona mau hoa kuka e like me ka lakou hoohiki ana. 
A hiki mai la kona mau hoa kuka, kona mau kiai kino hoi, olelo 
aku la o Laieikawai, “Auhea oukou e o’u mau hoa, ua kuka ae nei 
au me ke kupunawahine o kakou, e hoao wau i kane na’u, nolaila wau 
i houna aku nei i ko kakou kahu e kii aku ia oukou e like me ka 
kakou hoohiki ana, mahope iho o ko kakou hui ana maanei. O ka 
makemake o ko kakou kupunawahine, o Kekalukaluokewa kuu kane, 
a pehea? Aia i ka kakou hooholo like ana, ina i ae mai oukou, ua 
pono no, ina e hoole mai, aia no ia i ko kakou manao.” 
Olelo aku o Kahalaomapuana, “ Ua pono, ua hoomoe ae la no ko 
kakou kupunawahine e like me kona makemake, aohe a makou olelo. 
Eia nae, a i hoao oe i ke kane, mai haalele oe ia makou e like me ka 
kakou hoohiki ana; ma kau wahie hele ai, malaila pu kakou, 0 oe i 
ka pilikia, o kakou pu ilaila.” 
“A ole wau e haalele ia oukou,” wahi a Laieikawai. 
Eia hoi, ua ike mua ae nei kakou ma na Mokuna mua, he mea 
mau no ia Laieikawai ka iho i kai o Keaau, ma ka moolelo 
Hauailiki, a me ka moolelo o ka hele alua ana o Aiwohikupua 
Hawaii, a ola mau no a hiki i ko Kekalukaluokewa hiki ana 
Hawaii. 
I na manawa a pau o ko Laieikawai hele ana ma Keaau, he mea 
mau i keia keiki ia Halaaniani ka ike ia Laieikawai ma Keaau, me 
ka ike ole nae o Halaaniani i kahi e hele mai ai o Laiekawai; mai 
ja manawa mai ka hoomaka ana o ka manao ino e ake e Joaa o 
Laieikawai, aole nae e hiki, no ka mea, ua alaiia mai e ka hildhila, a 
hiki ole ke pane aku.
