MOKUNA XXI

Ninau aku o Malio ia Halaaniani, “Heaha kau moe?”

I aku la o Halaaniani, “Aole a’u wahi moe, i ka hiamoe ana no, o ke oki no ia, aole wau i loaa wahi moe iki a puoho wale ae la.”

Ninau aku la hoi o Halaaniani i kona kai kuahine, “Pehea hoi oe?”

Hai mai la kona kaikuahine, “Owau ka mea moe; ia kaua no i moe iho nei, hele aku nei no kaua a ma nahelehele, moe oe i kou puhalaau, a owau no hoi ma ko’u puhalaau; nana aku nei ko’u uhane i kekahi wahi manu e hana ana i kona punana, a pau, lele aku nei no ua manu nei ana i kona punana a pau, lele aku nei no ua manu nei nana ka punana a nalowale.  A mahope, he manu okoa ka manu nana i lele mai a hoomoe i ua punana nei, aole nae wau i ike i ka lele ana’ku o ka manu hope nana i hoomoe ua punana nei, a puoho wale ae la wau, aole no hoi i ikeia ka hoi hou ana mai o ka manu nana ka punana.”

A no keia moe, ninau aku la o Halaaniani, “A heaha iho la ke ano o ia moe?”

Hai aku la kona kaikuahine i ke ano oiaio o ua moe la, “E pomaikai io ana no oe, no ka mea, o ka manu mua nona ka punana, o Kekalukaluokewa no ia, a o ka punana, o Laieikawai no ia, a o ka manu hope nana i hoomoe ka punana, o oe no ia.  Nolaila, ma keia kakahiaka, e lilo ana ka wahine a olua ia oe.  Ia Waka e hoouna ae ai ia Laieikawai maluna o ka eheu o na manu, no ka hoao me Kekalukaluokewa; uhi mai auanei ka noe a me ke awa, a mao ae, alaila, ikeia’ku ekolu oukou e ku mai ana ma kuanalu, alaila, e ike auanei oe he mana ko’u e uhi aku maluna o Waka, a ike ole oia i ka’u mea e hana aku ai nou; nolaila, e ku kaua a hele aku ma kahi e kokoke aku ana i kahi e hoao ai o Laieikawai.”

A pau ka hoike ana a Malio i ke ano o ke ia mau mea, iho aku la laua a ma kahi kupono ia laua e noho ai.

O malio nae, he hiki ia ia ke hana i na hana mana; a oia wale no kona kumu i hoano ai.

Ia laua i hiki aku ai ma Keaau, ike aku la laua ia Kekalukaluokewa e au ae ana i ka heenalu.
