A ua lilo i mea liaohao no ke aloalii a pau ke kii ia ana o ua kahuna lapaau la me ke ola maikai no o ka moiwahine.
I ka hiki ana mai o na kahuna lapaau la, ua lawe loa ia aku la oia imua o ka moiwahine a ma kekahi rumi o ka halealii i noho mehameha iho ai laua.
Oiai laua e noho ana me ka pane leo ole aku o kekahi i kekahi, aka nae e keu ana na maka o ke kahuna lapaau iluna o ka moiwahine me ke pahaohao; a no ka manawa loihi akahi no a ea mai ka moiwahine a nana pono mai la i ke kahuna Iapaau, a no kekahi mau minute liu wale; pane mai la oia:
“E Dubana ke kaulana, ua kanoha aku nei au ia oe e hele mai no kekahi mea a’u i noohoo loihi ai, a he nani hoi ia o kaua wale no a elua a o ke Akua ke kolu, Nolaila e hoike aku au ia oe i keia mea kaumaha a@e huna iho oe a hiki i kona hora hope loa.”
Ia manawa pane aku la ke kahuna lapaau, “Ke hoohiki nei au imua ou, aole au e hoike i na mea a pau a kaua i hana ai.”
Ia manawa i pane hou mai ni ka Moiwahine, “Ua kamaaina oe ia’u e Dubana, he mea hookae loa na’u ua kane a ua hoino pinepine aku au ia lakou i na manawa a pau; aka, i keia mau malama i hala aku la, eia ka ! ua iho mai la kekahi anela mai ka lani mai a moe iho la me a’u, a o ka ha@ o ia moe ana eia no iloko o kuu opu e waiho nei he keiki@ a no ko’u manao o ulu mai kekahi manao koho wale iloko o na kanaka, ua moekolohe hoi au me kekahi kane a lilo ia i mea no’u e hilahila a ai, a no ia mea au i kanoha aku nei ia oe—malia o hiki i kekahi o kau ma i laau lapaau ke hoopuka ala i keia keiki i keia manawa, a e huna aku kaua iaia iloko o ka lepo, kahi a ka lehulehu e ike ole mai ai.”
Iloko o ia manawa i hohol@ ae ai na minoaka maluna o na papalina o ke kahuna Iapaau a pane aku la oia, “Ehia malama o kou “koke” ana i kela keiki?”
“O ka eono keia o na malama e “koko” nei,” wahi a ka Moiwahine.
“Aole no i kana mai,” wahi a ke kahuna Iapaau me ke ano akaaka, me he mea la e hoohenehene aku ana i ka moiwahine, oiai ua ike iho la no ke kahuna Iapaau aole he anela ka mea kino kanaka maoli no, a o ke kumu o kona akaaka ana Iloko o ia manawa i pane hou aku ai ke kahuna Iapaau me ka minoaka maluna o kona mau papalina:
“E ka Moiwahine, he mea kaumaha loa ia kaua ke hookomo aku i laau e hoopoino ai e keia keiki, he oi aku ka pono e hoomanawanui oe i ekolu malama mai keia la aku, alaila i hiki hou mai ai ianei a e haawi aku no au ia oe i kokahi laau lapaau a’u i kapa iho ai o ‘ka laau lapaau o na anela,’ a ina oe e ai i ua laau la alaila e hiki mai no ka anela nana nei keiki mai ka lani mai ua lawe aku i kana keiki i ke lani, a e luhi ole hoi kaua i ke k@na aku iaia iloko o ka lepo, aole hoi e hoi hou mai kona koko iluna o ko kaua mou poo,—pehea la ia e ka moiwahine maikai ?”
I mai la ua moiwahine la me na helehelena i piha me ka hauoli: “Ua oi loa ia o ka maikai mamua o ka kaua mea i noonoo mua iho nei; aka, e hiki ana no anei @ kela laau Iapaau ke hookikina aku i kekahi anela okoa aku e kii mai i keia keiki, ina ua lohe ole kona makuakane anela ?”
“Ua hiki loa no ke hooko ia pela,” wahi a ke kahuna lapaau
I ka manawa a ka moiwahine i hoopuka mai ai i kana mau huaolelo hope loa, akahi no a ike pono loa aku ke kahuna Iapaau, aole he anela ka mea nana keia keiki, aka, he kauaka maoli no, a owai la ia kanaka ?
