I mai la o Kahalaomapuana, “Aole i make, nanaia aku i keia la, ua oki ka uwe.”

A no keia olelo a Kahalaomapuana, kakali aku la lakou a hala na la eha, aole lakou i ike i ke ko o ka Kahalaomapuana mea i olelo ai.  Nolaila, hoomau hou aku la o Laieikawai i ka uwe i ke ahiahi o ke kolu o ka la a po, mai ia po a wanaao, akahi no a loaa ia ia ka hiamoe.

Ia Laieikawai i hoomaka iho ai e hookau hiamoe, ku ana no o Halaaniani me ka wahine hou, a hikilele ae la o Laieikawai, he moeuhane ka.

Ia manawa no, ua loaa ia Mailehaiwale he moeuhane, ala ae la oia a kamailio aku la ia Mailelaulii a me Mailekaluhea i keia moe.

E kamailio ana no lakou no kela moe, ia manawa, puoho mai la o Laieikawai, a hai mai la i kana moe.

I aku la o Mailelaulii, “O ka makou no hoi ia e kamailio nei, he moe no Mailehaiwale.”

E hahai ana no lakou i na moeuhane, puoho mai la o Kahalaomapuana mai ka hiamoe mai, a ninau mai i ka lakou mea e kamailio ana.

Hai mai la o Mailehaiwale i ka moe i loaa ia ia, “I uka no i Paliuli, hele ae la no o Halaaniani a lawe ae ana no ia oe, (Kahalaomapuana,) a hele aku nei no olua ma kahi e aku, ku aku nei ko’u uhane nana ia olua, hikilele wale ae nei no hoi au.”

Hai ae la no hoi o Laieikawai i kana moe, i mai la o Kahalaomapuana, “Aole i make o Halaaniani, kali aku kakou, mai uwe, hoopau waimaka.”

A no keia mea, hooki loa ae la o Laieikawai i kana uwe ana, hoi aku la lakou iuka o Paliuli.

(Ma keia wahi, e kamailio kakou no Halaaniani, a maanei kakou e ike ai i kona kalohe launa ole.)

Ma kela olelo a Halaaniani ia Laieikawai e pii e halawai me Malio.  Ia laua i hookaawale ai mahope iho o ka Halaaniani kauoha ana ia ia.

Pii aku la oia a halawai pu me Malio, ninau mai la kona kaikuahine, “Heaha kau o uka nei?”

I aku la o Halaaniani, “I pii hou mai nei wau ia oe, e hooko mai oe i ko’u makemake, no ka mea, ua ike hou au he kaikamahine maikai i like kona helehelena me ko Laieikawai.

“Ma ke awakea o nehinei, ia’u i puka ae ai iwaho mai ko maua hale ae.  Ike aku la wau i keia kaikamahine opiopio i maikai kona mau helehelena; nolaila, ua pauhia mai wau e ka makemake nui.

“A no ko’u manao o oe no ka mea nana e hoopomaikai nei ia’u ma na mea a’u e makemake ai, nolaila wau i hiki hou mai nei.”

I aku o Malio i kona kaikunane, “O Laielohelohe na, o kekahi moopuna a Waka, ua hoopalauia na Kakalukaluokewa, a wahine haoa.  Nolaila, a hele oe e makai i ka hale o ua kaikamahine la me ko ike oleia mai, i eha la au e makai aku ai, a ike oe i kana hana mau, alaila, hoi mai oe a hai mai ia’u, alaila, na’u e hoouna aku ia oe e hoowalewale i ua kaikamahine la.  Aole e loaa ia’u ma kuu mana, no ka mea, elua laua.”

A no keia olelo a Malio, hele aku la o Halaaniani e hoohalua mau mawaho o ko Laielohelohe hale me kona ike oleia mai, kokoke alua anahulu kona hookalua ana, alaila, ike oia i ka Laielohelohe hana, he kui lehua.  Hoomau pinepine aku la oia a nui na la, aia no oia e hoomau ana i kana hana he kui lehua.
