Chapter XLII: Canto XV (1)

Blinded are the eyes of the gods with salt, Seasoned are the edges of the eyelashes 735. Throughout the island of the chief— Standing high stripping Hawaii bare. The chief, who will he be? Placed over the districts? Who are the settlers of the land, 740. That can correctly point the finger To indicate his portion of the district? To send indeed, To send by the numerous [followers] Those who supported the cause of the chief, 745. The buoyant land growth, Producing people for the chief. The increase of those twin chiefs Kauwau together with Kiha, Of the branch of Mahi of I. 750. Severed was the elder brother’s line, Keawe-i-kekahi-alii-o-ka-moku. That belonging to the sister, The chiefess Kauleleiaiwi, Hers was the red encircling kapu, 755. The red placed on commanding officers, Lani-epa, the husband, Lani-malama-iluna, the wife, Lani-ae-ae, Lani-ae-ae, Lani-piikoi-elelani, the husband, 760. Their offspring [was the] chief Kupuaopa-i-ka-lani, Perplexed, many branched Are the births of the high chiefs. Excelled is the chief, sounds many voices, Simply saying in talking to you, 765. O great Kau, of dust eye: O Puna, of thorny pandanus: O Hilo-iki, of black edges; Born approvedly was the lone one, A renowned head for Hawaii. 770. Born and recognized by man, Only a night man But flesh before us. No image man was this chief, None followed [simply] for the fish for the food, 775. Nor soldiers [simply] for the garments and the malos, They were true warriors all. They were [all] companionable, overcame the complaint, The anger, The quarreling. 780. The frequent command Emanated from here, To send indeed, To send and bid the chief to awake! They awoke at midnight in response, 785. They hastened and lit the lamps, Partook of the food, partook of the food. [They] considered the prospects, Measured off the line of the fisherman, Fastened on the fish-hook securely, 790. For the fish, the fish, The canoe, The paddle, The bailer, The seating. 795. Carrying, [And] departing. Go and embark the land-fisher. Wide are the shallows for fishing, The ocean is broad, it is unconfined, 800. From that sea to this sea, From Kumukahi to Alenuihaha [channel]. There the fishermen prosecutes his fishing, Pointing truly with the finger, Completely closing the channel. 805. The land was safely guided that day. Send indeed, Send indeed, O chief, [The] declaration is raised.

NAME SONG FOR KIHAPIILANI.

BY KAMAKAHELEI.

Kihapiilani, [1255] son of Piilani, begat Kamakaalaneo.
Kihapiilani of the piercing eyes;
Whitish-yellow skin has Kihapiilani.
The young onini [1256] which turns gracefully at the cape,
This is the change [1257] of Kiha’s skin. 5.
Kiha’s dignity which was accorded him
Was, that Kauhi was unblemished; faultless. [1258]
Kauhi’s dignity which was accorded him
Was of Kaeokulani [1259] with the doubtful skin,
It is turning, it is black, 10.
It is like [1260] the skin of Kauhikea;
He is a descendant of Kauhikea;
Namakaikaluluokalani,
The man who comes from the holes [1261] in the rocks,
Without the redness of skin, 15.
He is the forder of the stream,
Noisily treading the forest leaves to the sea;
He is the fish which would break the kiholo. [1262]
The eye delights in its frantic [1263] effort;
Slippery [1264] is the line in the hand. 20.
Kawelo, [1265] double father with Kakuihewa.
Kanaloa [1266] of Loewa was that chief’s child.
Pahia and Kaili; those two are known,
For Kama was barren, [1267] his child are the skies
Kalewanuu and Kalewalani, they are two. 25.
Kama’s [1268] child is Laaloa,
The child of Kupaeeli, by the drum ennobled, [1269]
The noble offspring; the fearful drum proclaims,
The tap, tap, tapping of Kihalale,
Causing Kihalale to sound as a bird. [1270] 30.
The rough skin, [1271] the harsh sounding skin
Is struck in measured cadence, [1272]
Sounding a rattling note, a weird trill
Like the voice of a bird.
It is the sound of Kiwaa, [1273] 35.
Kiwaa the strange bird,
Alight, [1274] desire to alight from your flying,
The kite of Kiwaa.
Let Kawelo arise, let the chief arise!
Let Kiha arise. Arise, chief, which is Hooneenuu, [1275] 40.
The chief of the height which is strong and enduring;
Of the very high cliff, guarding chiefs inaccessible;
Inaccessible indeed, [1276] made so by their sacredness.
Increase, ever increase the sacredness of Kauhikea. [1277]
Kauhi, son of Kamalalawalu, 45.
Kamalalawalu, [1278] the chief of acknowledged power,
With sacredness spread out generally.
Numerous are the kapus, frequent the prostration.
The hair dresser [1279] of the great chief is the chief indeed;
He is the chief who will enforce the kapu 50.
Of the woman in the axe-pit. [1280]
Take care lest the painful chip strikes the chief,
Sharpen the axe of the flying chips, sharpen.
Laielohelohe the—
Laielohelohe [1281] of Kalamakua 55.
Is the dark, incompact precipice which stands on high;
Fearful is the sacredness of the chief.
Piilani [1282] of Kawao and Kaohele the—
Kaohele chiefly child of Lono,
The fruitful source which caused the overthrow, 60.
The chief which united the island.
Outside belonged to the chief,
Inside belonged to the lordly chief,
Outside belong to tributary chiefs,
Inside belongs to the lordly chief. 65.
Outside the wall-enclosure are the [lower] chiefs,
The chiefs are heralds for the sacredness,
The chiefs are signs,
The chief is a priest.
Maui [1283] is a god who decreed the sacredness 70.
Derived from the sacredness of lordly Kaeokulani; [1284]
From Keaka Poomaihelani;
From Keaka Kuailanimamao. [1285]
She is the wife, a light complexioned woman.
The fire is lit, it is burning, 75.
The sacredness is established, it is extended,
The heat is felt, it reaches beyond
The heat of Keawe; [1286]
The warmth of Lono; [1287]
The warmth of the important high chiefs; 80.
The union of the exalted chiefs;
Of Keawekekahialiiokamoku; [1288]
Bend down and see, O exalted chiefs.
Their hardness is like that of a hard-rock precipice,
Such is the sacredness of Kaneikauaiwilani. [1289] 85.
Grown, increased is the chief;
The desired chief, the favored chief:
The very sacred child of Kuihewa. [1290]
Of elder Kawelo, son of Peekoaakalana; [1291]
Kawelo of the fish-gills; [1292] 90.
Kawelo whom the altar could not hold.
As Kawelo reached Kawelo in the water;
When Kawelo landed at Moemoeakuha.
The path of Kawelo is up at Konolea,
The head of Kawelo is turned seaward. 95.
At Kanolele at Muliwaiolena [1293] are the eyes of Kawelo;
The eyes, the body and the head. The hair was above;
It was entangled;
It was entangled with an eel;
The hair is with the eel, an eel which lies in water. 100.
A long eel is the hair of the red mokihe [1294] of Kane
Traveling to Moanaliha, [1295]
To the numerous bright sands [1296] of Kane.
The large threatening spear
Is the threat of Kaihe 105.
By Kuholani, ancestor of Lupaikini.
The chief is like one skillful in lua, [1297]
Kamalalawalu was a fearless dog,
His eyes were like Kauhilonohonua’s;
Kauhi is like Piilani. 110.
There are eight to Kalanikaumaka from Wakea.
It is the cavern in the deep ocean
Which, with its entrance, is made sacred,
The pain of which causes the molars to grind;
Which staggers and floors that child 115.
If he desires its severance, submit [1298] to Ku.
Here is Ku of the overcoming ills.
Like the skin of the moano [1299] are Kawelo’s eyes.
With firmness in its hinder part,
Causing the tail to wriggle, 120.
The chief’s dogs bark steadily at Hakau. [1300]
Keaka, Keaka Poomaihelani,
Keaka of ill-shapen limbs. Kawelo passed.
Ku [1301] of the fearless eye,
Kuaiwa the chief, Aikanaka, [1302] 125.
Thou art the Aikanaka of Kamakaholani,
The skin that is roughened, yes roughened, [1303]
Sharpened on the outside.
Thou art Kealohi Kikaupea,
The kite of Hoohila, 130.
The two piercing eyes of Kawelo,
The peer of the kakalawela [1304] eel,
The eel with the spotted and smooth skin emerge,
They are the sacred [eels] of the bitter fish-poison [1305]
Which was pulled and which cracked, 135.
An offering acceptable to the longing of Mano; [1306]
To the longings of Hiwa, of Hiwakaumaka.
