HELU 1.

            ELUA MAU MEA E NOHO ANA ua kekahi wahi o Pelekane, he kane a he wahine he mau mea waiwai loa lana, a he hanohano no hoi i na lako loa lana ma na mea a pau, ma ka waiwai paa ame ka waiwai lewa.  A hookahi o laua hemahema nui o ke keiki ole, ka hooilina o ko laua waiwai a pau ke make.

            Nolaila, olelo aku la ke kane i ka wahine, ‘Ua lako kaua ma na mea a pau loa, a hookahi hemahema o ke keiki ole a kaua, e loaa ai ko kaua hooilina waiwai mahope o ko kaua make ana.”

            Pela mau ko laua kukakuka mau ana, a hala paha he mau la; hooholo iho la laua i ka manao e hele e imi i wahi e loaa ai ka laua keiki.  A hooholo iho la laua penei, “E moe kaua a kakahiaka, alaila, pii kaua luka o ke kuahiwi.”

            A i ke kakahiaka nui, ala ae la laua, paina a pau ka aina kakahiaka, a kau aku la ma ke kaa, a holo aku la a hiki laua i ke kuahiwi, hoemaka laua e komo iloko o ka ululaau.

                                    NO KE KUMULAAU OLELO.

            La laua e holo ana imua a komo iloko o ka ulullaau, kaa hope ke Kumulaau mahope o laua, alaila, kahea aku la ua Kumulaau nei ia laua penei.  “ E laua ala e holo la; e laua ala e holo la!”  Aole o laua maliu mai i hope, no ka ikaika loa o ka holo ana o ke kaa. 

            Ma keia kahea ana a ke Kumulaau a lohe ole laua, alaila, pane hou aku la oia i kana olelo hope, “ “Ina aole olua e hoolohe mai i ka’u olelo, alaila, aole e loaa iki ana ka olua mea e imi nei?”

            A lohe laua i keia olelo a ke Kumulaau, ia wa laua i hoi hou mai ai a ku malalo o na Kumulaau nei; a olelo iho la, “kupanaha maoli, o ka leo wale no ka maua e lohe nei, aohe ku mai o ke kino?”

            Olelo mai la ke Kumulaau, ‘Owau no kai hea aku nei ia olua, aohe mea e ae; ua ike au, e holo ana olua e imi i mea e loaa’i  ona keiki na elua.”

            A lohe laua, ae aku la, “Ae, ua olelo mana pela i ke maua noho ana no ka loaa ole o ke keiki, no ka mea, us loaa ia maua na waiwai a pau ame ka hanohano, a o ke keiki nei aole i loaa.”

            Wahi a ke Kumulaau, “Ina olua e hoolohe i ka’u olelo, alaila, e loaa ia olua ke keiki.”

            “Ae,” wahi a laua nei, ‘ e hoolohe ana no maua i kau olelo ke olelo mai, no ka mea, aole maua e hoole.”

            Olelo mai la ke Kumulaau, “E hoi olua, a hana olua e like me nei, ‘E lalau i elua ala o ke kahawai, a nou ae i ka lala piki e luluu ana i ka hua; a ina e haule elua hua, alaila, e hanai oe i ke kao i na hua, a mahope o ka hanai ana i ke kao, e pepehi oe a make, alaila, lole ae a hookaawale i ka ili a me ka io.  Nolaila, o ka io e ai oe, a o ka iwi e hanai na ka ilio, (malama he ilio no hoi ka olua.) alaila, e hapia oe ame ka ilio.”

            A pau ka olelo ana a ua Kumulaau nei, hoi aku la laua a hiki i ko laua wahi, hana aku la i na mea a pau i oleloia mai ai.

            Mahope o laila, hapai iho la laua a elua, hapai ka wahine a hanau he mau keiki maho elua, hookahi keiki kane, a hookahi hoi kaikamahine.

            He mau keiki maikai loa laua, o ka lauoho he gula, o na onohi maka he gula ia, a o ka helehelena he maikai lua ole, aohe hoa ma Pelekane e like ai, aole iwaena o na’lii ame na makaainana.

            O ka inoa o ua kaikamahine la, oia o Ana Onohi Gula, ka mea nona keia kaao.

            (Maanei e hoomaka ai kakou e kamailio i kona kaao ma ka olelo Hawaii.)

                                    NO ANA ONOHI GULA, AME KE KAIKUNANE.

            A nui laua, a kokoke i ka manawa e moe kane ai a moe wahine hoi, alaila, kukala ia ka waiwai o na makua, a pau ka waiwai, kukalaia na keiki, a lilo i ka mea dala no ka aie o na makua.

            Ma keia kukala ana, lilo aku la o Ana Onohi Gula ame kona kaikunane, ma ka lima o kekahi mau mea waiwai loa, a malaila laua i noho ai me ka malama ia e like me ko laua mau makua ponoi.

            Ia laua e noho ana, ua lilo laua he mea nui i ko laua mau makua hanai, mamuli o ka laua olelo ame ko laua makemake e hooko ai na makua, aole loa kekahi mau olelo i hoohalaia, a i waihoia maialo o na kapua i wawae.

            Ma keia noho ana o laua, ua kiiia mai la kona kaikunane i kane na ke kaikamahine alii o Beritania, ka muli iho o ka hooilina noho alii o ke Kalaunu o Beretania. A kaawale au la oia, noho iho la o Ana Onohi Gula me na makua hanai o laua.

                        KA LUAHINE NOI IMI MEA AI.

            Ia Ana Onohi Gula e noho ana me na makua, hiki mai ia ka luahine me ke eke mea ai, e noi hele ana ma kela hale keia hale, a hiki eia imua o Ana Onohi Gula, ia wa, nonoi aku la oia i ka mea ai me na hoaolelo maikai loa a nahenahe hoi, a penei:

“E kela wahine maikai loa,

Ka mea aole malalo o ka la,

O ka mahina o na hoku,

Na’u kekahi mea ai.”

            ‘Hele mai,” wahi a Ana Onohi Gula, a hiki mai la ka luahine, ninau aku la oia, ‘He eke no nae paha kau?”  “Ae.”

            Ia manawa, kii aku la o ana onohi Gula i kahi waiho mea ai, a hahao iho la i ka palena me ka io bipi, ame na mea e ae he nui wale, a piha ke eke a ka luahine.

            Hoi aku la na luahine nei, me ke eke ana ma ke alanui e kupono ana i ka hale o ke kaikamahine alii, ke kaikoeke o Ana Onohi Gula, ka wahine hoi a kona kaikunane.

                                    NO KE KAIKAMAHINE ALII.

            (Ma keia wahi e ike ai kakou i ka hana pono ole a ka luahine, a e ike ai kakou i ka huhu o ke kaikamahine alii, ame ka pilikia ana o Ana Onohi Gula.)

            A kupono ka luahine malalo o ka hale o ke kaikamahine alii, ku iho la oia a nana aku la i ke kaikamahine alii i ka noho mai iluna, alaila, kahea aku la ua luahine nei.

“E kela wahine maikai loa,

Ka mea aole malalo o ka la,

O ka mahina o na hoku,

Na’u kekahi mea ai.”

            Pane mai la ke kaikamahine alii,  “Heaha ka mea e loaa aku ai ka makou mea ai ia oe e na luahine laupuwale, hele wale iho no, aohe ka he hana iho o kou mau lima ma ka honua.”

            I aku la ka luahine,  “No ke ino no o kou (kii) kino, nolaila, inoino no kau olelo; aole no e like aku oe me Ana Onohi Gula, maikai no kona kino, maikai pu no kana olelo.”

            A lohe ke kaikamahine alii i keia mau olelo a ka luahine, ua hoopiha loa ia kona manao i ka huhu ino loa, alaila, olelo iho la oia penei, “ Kupanaha, ma ko’u manao iho. owau ka oi o ka maikai ame ka nani ma Beretania nei, aole e loaa ko’u lua, mai na ‘lu’a na makaainana, eia ka o ka oi ae nei o Ana Onohi Gula mamua o’u, make oe ia’u.”

            Ia manawa, hoomaimai iho la ua kaikamahine alii nei, a maule loa iho la; a hahai ia aku la ke kane, (oia ke kaikunane o Ana Onohi Gula,) a loaa ma kahi i hana ai me na kanaka, a haiia aku la ka mai o ke alii wahine ame ka pilikia loa.

            I ka manawa i lohe ai o ke kane, hoi mai la oia a hiki imua o ke alii wahine, lalau iho la ia a lomilomi, ninau iho la, aohe pane ae o ke alii wahine; ia wa koke no, kii ia aku la na kauka lapaau e hele mai e nana i ke ano o ka mai o ke alii wahine.

            A hiki lakou imua o ke alii wahine, nana iho la ua kauka nei i ke ano o ka mai aohe maopopo, aole no hoi he laau e ola ai.

            Nolaila, ua pilikia loa ke kane no keia mai o ka wahine alii, alaila, kii ia aku la kekahi kauka akamai loa, e hele mai e nana i ka mai o ke alii wahine.

            A hiki mai la ke kauka, nana iho la oia i ke alii wahine, a olelo mai la,  “Aohe e ola ka mai o ke alii wahine i ka laau a hai ke lapaau aku, no ka mea, aia no ia ia kona laau e ola ai.”

            Alaila, ninau iho la ke kane i ka wahine,  “Ea!” heaha kou Iaau e ola ai oe?”

            I mai la ka wahine,  ‘Hookahi wale no o’u laau e ola ai, o na onohi o ka maka o kuu kaikoeke.”

            I aku la ke alii kane,  “ Ae, e kii aku ana au i kona mau onohi, a e poalo ae a lawe mai i laau nou.”

            Alaila, hele aku la oia me ke pa ma kona lima a hiki i kahi e noho ana o Ana Onohi Gula, alaila, uwe aku la keia me ke kulu o na waimaka.

            I mai la o Ana Onohi Gula i kona kaikunane, “ he waimaka aha kou e uwe nei?”

            I aku la ke kaikunane, “ E uwe aku ana ai ia oe, no ka mea, i hele mai nei au e po’ aio i ou mau onohi maka i iaau no ko kaikoeke, a oia ka ka laau e ola ai kona mai.”

                        KA HEMOLELE O ANA ONOHI GULA.

(Maanei kakoa e ike ai i kona maikai a me kona hemolele loaole, me kona ae aku i kona      mau kaniko kino e lawe ia aku mai kona kino aku.)

            Wahi a Ana Onohi Gula, “ O na onohi no hoi paha ia, poalo ia mai.”

            Ia ia e olelo ana, holo ana ka ilio i hanau pu ai me laua, (oia kela ilio onohi gula, ame ka hulu he gula.) olelo mai ke kaikunane,

“Ea!  eia no hoi na ka onohi o kahi ilio a kaua?  No ka mea, ua like no kou onohi me ko ka ilio.”

            “Ae,” wahi a Ana onohi Gula, alaila, poalo ia ae la ka onohi o ka ilio, a kau aku la iluna o ke pa, a hoi aku la ke kaikunane a hiki imua o ka wahine.

            A ike ka wahine i na onohi iluna o ke pa, alaila, o ke ola ae la no ia, pau iho la ka mai ana, e manao ana ia ua make o Ana Onohi Gula, no ka lilo ana mai o kona mau onohi maka ia ia.

            Nolaila, noho iho la na alii  wahine la me ka oluolu, me ka manao oia ka oi o ka wahine maikai ma Beritania a puui.

            A hala he mau la mahope, alaila, hiki hou no ua luahine noi mea ai nei imua o Ana Onohi Gula, a nonoi aku la e like me kana noi mua ana.

“E kela wahine maikai loa,

Ka mea aole malalo iho o ka la,

O ka mahina o na hoku, Na’u kekahi mea ai.”

            I aku la o Ana Onohi Gula i ua luahine nei, “hele mai hoi paha.”

            la manawa, hele mai la ua luahine nei a hiki imua ona, haawi aku la oia i ka mea ai a piha ke eke, hoi aku la ua luahine nei ma ke alanui e hiki aku ai i kahi o ke alii wahine huhu.

            Oia ka mea kupanaha loa, o ka hele o ua luahine nei ma kahi o ke alii wahine me ka hoi ole i kona hale ponoi, nolaila, ma ka noonoo ana, he luahine imi hala loa keia i kumu e make ai ka mea hemolele, oia hoi o Ana Onohi Gula.

            A hiki ua luahine nei imua o ke alii wahine huhu, kahea aku la penei:

“E kela wahine maikai loa,

Ka mea aole malalo iho o ka la,

O ka mahina o na hoku,

Na’u kekahi mea ai.”

            I mai la ke alii wahine,  ‘O ke aha ka mea e loaa aku ai ka makou mea ai ia oe, aole no hoi oe i noi i kekahi noi ana, a e loaa ana, alaila, hele mai e noi.”

            Ma keia olelo a ke alii wanine, pane aku la ka luahine.  “No ke ino no o kou (kii) kino, nolaila, inoino no kau olelo, aole no e like me Ana Onohi Gula, ka maikai o kona kino, maikai no ka olelo.

            A lohe ke alii wahine, piha loa oia i ka huhu, a olelo iho la,  “Kupanaha!  kai no paha ua make o Ana Onohi Gula, eia no ka hoi ke ola nei.”

            Ia manawa koke no, maule hou iho la oia e like me mamua, a nawaliwali loa, alaila, kii ia aku la ke kane ma kahi i hana ai a hoi mai la, a hiki imua o ka wahine, nana iho la ua nawaliwali loa, alaila, kuia aku la na kauka lapaau a hele mai la e nana, a nolaila, aole laau kupono e ola ai.

            Nolaila, kii ia no ke kanaka akamai loa. a hele mai la e nana, a hiki oia.  olelo mai la.  Aia no kona laau e ola ai ia ia.  nana no e hai mai, aole e ola i ka laau e.”

            Ninau aku la ke kane, “ heaha kou laau e ola ai?”

            I mai la ka wahine, “O na lima o kuu kaikoeke o Ana Onohi Gula, oia ko’u laau e ola ai, e oki mai oe a kaa mai iluna o ke pa nei la, lawe mai oe.”

            “Ae,” wahi a ke kane, “e kii aku ana no hoi paha wau e o oki i na lima i laau nou e ola ai.”

            Komo iho la oia i kona kahiko a paa. lalau aku la i ke pa me ke koi, a kau aku la iluna o ke kaa, a holo aku la a hiki imua o Ana Onohi Gala.

            Alaila, kahea aku la  keia, “E komo oe i kapa nou a paa, kau mai maluna o ke kaa a holo ae kaua i ke kuahiwi.”

            A makaukau o Ana Onohi Gula, kau aku la laua ma ke kaa, a holo aku la i ke kuahiwi, a haalele laua i ka papu oneanea, komo laua i ka ululaau o ka waonahele, a hiki laua iaena o na laau lipolipo, ilaila kekahi laau pookela loa o kona kiekie, i oi ae i kona laau a pau o ke kuahiwi.

            A hiki laua malolo o ua laau nei, ku iho la ke kaa ma ka hua mawaho o ka laau, a lele iho la laua ilalo.

            Wahi a Ana Onohi Gula.  “E aha ana kaua ma keia wahi?”

            I mai la ke kaikunane me na waimaka e heleleiana.  ‘E oki aku ana au i ea mau lima.  i laau no ke kaikoeke e ola ai.”

            Wahi a Ana Onohi Gula.  “O na lima no hoi paha ia o oki mai.”

            I mai ia ke kaikunane  “Moe aku noi paha Hala.”

            Ia manawa koke no, moe aku la kona kaikuahine Hale, o oki aku la ke kaikunane i na lima a moku, a ka poaeae eia iho moku, mawaena o ka naia ame ka iwi uluna.) kau aku la iluna o ke pa, a hoi aku la ke kaikunane maluna o ke kaa, waiho iho la o Ana Onohi Gula me ka maule a make.

            (Maanei, e waiho kakou i ka olelo ana no ke kaikunane ame ke kaikoeke:  a e kamailio kakou no Ana Onohi Gula, ka mea hemolele ina ole.)

            Ma keia waiho ana o Ana onohi Gula. ma ia la a po, mai@ po a ao, mai ia la u ana ma kai ka la, ala mai o Ana Onohi Gula me kona nawaliwali loa, a pohala mai la na maka ia wa, a nana ae la ma o maanei.

“I lili au i hoao me ka Haao,

            A ina keia noho ana i ka waonahale, ua ikaika loa kona manao e loaa ka wai e inu,
