“Ha! A heaha ka hua o ia mea?”

 

“I ka manawa I hoomaka ai keia kaua ua noonoo koke iho wau @ mea pono ia`u e ike aku I ka Pope I maopopo ai na kumu o ke Kaua no ka pono o ka mea kiekie oiai oia I kahi e, a he mau mea hoi a`u I manao ai no ke kokua ana I ka mea kiekie ke hoi mai.  Nolaila ua hoouna elele aku wau I ka Pope a hoomaikeike aku I keia kaua au e hana nei me ka nminau pu aku ina paha ua ike oia I ke kumu, a ina paha he manao kahi ona malna o ke kumuhua.  Ua ha`I mmai oia aole e hiki iaia ke pane I ka hewa ame ka ole ma kou aoaoa no ka mea aole he hoike I loaa aku iaia mai a oe aku.”

 

“He olelo hooholo pono a hauohano maoli ia I haawiia.” Wahi a ka Akibihopa.

 

“Aole nae I pau ka makemake o ka olelo hooholo,” wahi hou a ka Barona I hookmau hou aku ai, “pela ko’u noonoo, a aia ke kali mai la a loaa aku kau hoike ma kou aoao nolaila I hakalia ai kona hoike manao, aka I ka manawa, e loaa aku ai kau alaila e hoomaopopo oe aole I pau ka hana.”

 

“Aole au e makemake e hoolohe I kau ano hoohalahala malouna o ka olelo hoojolo a ka Pope e ka Barona,” wahi a ka Akibihopa Iseneboga.  “O ka olelo hooholo ua maopopo loa kona kaona a aole he hoohewahewa ana no kona pohihihi ole.”

 

“Eia nae, e kuu Haku,” wahi a ka Barona I pane hou aku ai, “e hoolohe hou mai no ka lua o ka hoike a ka Pope a`u I hoomaopopo ai ua kakooia ka olelo hooholo a o keia hoike elua la.  O kana mau kumu I waiho mai ai I kuu elele I hoouna ai I ka lua o ka manawa, he mau kumu ia a`u I ike ai ua pili loa I ke kumuhana a he pololei maoli no hoi.  Ua hoike mai oia ua mahele oia I kou mana iloko o na mahele elua – akahi ma koyu ano he Akibihopa no Tarevis, a o ka iua ma kea no he mea koho no ia wahi hookah.”

 

“Wahi ana,” I hoomau aku ai ka Barona, “he kuleana kona e nana ai ia oe ma koyu ano he akibihopa oiai he oihana pili ia I ke aupuni uhane wale no, a he mana kona e hooponopono ai I na kinaunayu amen a mea apau e hoopiiia aku ana imua ona, a wahi ana, o na ninau apau pili I kou kulana `mea koho` e hooponoponoia ia mau mea apau e ka mea kiekie ka Emepera, me kona hoomaopopo pu mai e komo mai ka emepera a e hooponopono I keia paio iloko o kona aupuni A oiai ua ui mai oia I na kumu o ka ulu ana mai o keia kaua a I ka hoomaopopo ana iaia ua ike koke iho oia aole ana wahi kuleana e hooponopono ai nou a e ike mai ai ia oe mamuli o kona ike he ninau pili kuwaho loa keia kaua mai ka oihana laa aku, ke kumu hoi ona I paipai ai I ka Emepera ma o`u la e nana I keia hana.”

 

Ma keia wehewehe manao hope loa o ka Barona aole he wahi a ekemy leo iki ua keikialii nei o Tarevis, aia nae na hiohiona hakumakuma maluna o kona helehelena a aole no hoi I nele ka leha ikaika o kona mau maka I ka mea ha`i moolelo, ana no hoi I hoomaopopo ai I ka pololei maoli o na wehewehe a ka Barona.

 

Ua like no hoi kona ho aka Akibihopa o Kolone ma ke kulana hoolohe I na wehewehe aka aia he mau hiohiona mae ma kona helehelena I kulike ole me kokona hoa a I ka hoopau ana iho o ka Barona I kana wehewehe yua hooka`ulua ole iho la oia I ka pane ana mahope iho o kona noho mumule ana no kekahi mau manawa.

 

“Maikai maoli kela mau wehewehe a ka Pope ka Mea Hemolele, a he pololei maoli no,” wahi a Hokedana I hooho ae ai. “Ma`keia kaua na komo pu wau ilaila me ke kue nae I ko`u lunaikehala e like no me ka`u I hoike mua iho nei.  Aole no ia o ko`u makemake o ka hoomau I keia kaua.  Eia nae e hoike aku oe e kuu Barona I ka Emepera eia au ianei mamua aku nei a eia no ianei I keia manawa.  Ina I hoomaopopo mua wau a lohe I keia mau hoakaka noeau a ka Pope aole loa wau e komo iloko o keia kaua a ina I lohe au mahope mai oiai maua ianei ina no ua kaawale mua ka pili ana o maua a hoihoi wau I ko`u poe kanaka I ko`u apana.”

 

“Alaila e oluoluia mai anei wau no ka hoala hou ana I ka`u noi I waiho ua iho nei ia olua, a e noi aku ia olua no ka manawa hope loa e hookoia ke kauoha o ka mea kiekie ka Emepera?”

 

“Pela, pela,” I hooho ae ai o Hokedanam a e hooko koke ia no I keia maawa.”  Alaila huli ae la oia a pane aku la I kona ho aka Akibihopa o Tarevis _ “ E kuu haku, o kou poe kanaka keia e ku kiaia mai la I ke kakela, a ke noi aku nei wau e oluolu oe e haawi aku I ke kauoba e weheia I alanui no ka hooko ana I keia kauoha”  Alaila huli hou ae la oia I ka Barona a pane aku la no ka hoopau pono ana I kona manao – “ oiai o koi a nei poe kanaka kela e ku kiai mai la ua oi lo aka maikai naa ia nei no e haawi aku I ke kauoha, oiai o ka ia nei no ke hooloheia mai mamura o ka`u kauoha ina owau ka ea haawi kauoha.  Aka no ko`u poe kanaka e ku laina la he wahi okoa loa mai kahi I makemakeia  no ke alanui no kuu Haku Emeper ua hiki loa ia`u ke haawi kauoba a e hooloheia mai no, a ina ua ike oe he waiwai ka haawi kauoha ana ia lakou I loaa ai I alanui, alaila,m e uahana no wau e like me ka makemake.”

 

No ka Akibihopa Iseneboga aole ona kamailio iki aka ku iho la oia me ke kulana ano nanaina ikaika me he la aole oia e hoolohe ana I no olelo a kona hoa.  A ia lakou e kuku ana ua hiki mai la kekahi elele me ka paupauaho nui ame ka holo mama ana mai no hoi a ku ana imua o ka poe keka a hoike aku la aia he pualikoa no ka Emepera ke nee mai nei nono ka hae o ka Emepera e welo ana maluna o lakou.  A mahope o keia puali he laina holoholona ua kaumaha me na ukana a o ka hoike hope loa I waihoia mai oia no ka wawahi ia ana mai o ka laina koa o na Akibihopa e ku kiai ana kokoke I kauhale o ka lihi mulwai o Mose-le, a o na holoholona aia ke pii la I ke kakela.

“E kuu mau Kahu Akiihope,m” wahi a ka Barona I pane hou aku ai me kea no kaumaha, “Owai la ka mea e hoahewaia ma keia ea aole I maopopo ia`u, aka ua hoopau wale ia ka manawa kupono e hiki ai ke hooponopono a ke manao new wau ua hana io ia mai la e like me ka kkou I lohe iho la.  Nolaila ke kauoha aku nei wau ia olua a elua e hiki ae imua o ka mea kiekie ka Emepera I ke awakea o keia la ma ka halelole alii e ku la I ke kula.  E hiki ae olua no kaa pane ana I na ninau apau e waihoia ana imua o olua I keku ame ka ole o ko olua kue I ke kanawai o ka aina.  Kea o aku nei no hoi wauy ia olua o ka hooko koke I keia me ka hoohakalia ole oia ka hoonui hana ole hou aku.”

 

“E loaa aku ana na mea apau a ka Emepera I makemake ai mai o`u aku,” wahi a Hokedana I pane aku ai.

“E kuu hoaloha,” wahi a Wete I pane aku ai, “ua hoounaia mai wau e kou makuakane no ke kokua ana aku ia oe:  I ko`u hiki ana mai ianei ua ike iho la wau o kau aloha ka mea o olua I pono e kokua ia aku e a`u, oiai ke kau nei kona ola maluna ou.  Iaia wau I hoopaa aku ai e kokua aku iaia, a e hana ana wau pela.  A ina ua oi aku kou aloha iaia mamua o ka hooko ia ana o kou inaina, e pono ia o eke hoolohe mai I kau.”

 

Ua hoolohe mai o Ivana I keia mau olelo, a mahope main oho iho la oia ilalo a pane mai la me ka malie:

 

“Ua pono kau.  No ko Vera pono aole wau e hooko ana I ka`u I hai mua aku nei ia oe.  Heaha la ka`u hana pono e hana ai?”

 

“E hai mai oe pehea la I ala mai ai ka manao iloko ou, ka mea hoi nana I hai aku ia Kaunawahine Radolinisiki ua like o Kaunawahine Alamazofa me kekahi holoholona ahiu, I noi aku ai I ua wahine la e huikalaia mai oe mai kau mau mea I hoopuka ai nona?”

“Ame keia leta a Vera – pupule no paha wau – ua ha1i mai oia ia`u I ka hana maikai ana a Sofia iaia.  He oiaio he wahine o Kauna wahine Alamazofa, aka aole wau e nana ana ia mea, a ua hiki no ia`u ke poalo aku I kona puuwai a huki ae iwaho a haawi aku nan a holoholona e ai!.  O, Vera, kuu aloha, kuu kihei pili!”

 

O ka noonoo ana no Kaunawahine Radolinisiki I ala mai iloko o Ivana I keia manawa oia ka mea nana I kaua mai ia Ivana, a kau aku la kona mau maka maluna o Wete.

 

“He mea pono ia oe ke hoopau ae I kou huhu, no ka mea eia ko Vera ola kekau lihilihi nei,” wahi a Wete I pane aku ai.

 

“E hoopau ana wau I ko`u huhu.  Aole wau he kanaka hikiwawe I ka hoopoina I ko`u noonoo maikai.  Aka nae o ke komo ana mai o ka noonoo iloko o`u I ko`u hele lanakila ana a e hauoli ana hoi, a o ka wahine hoi a`u e aloha nei ke noho mai la iloko o na ehaeha he nui a iloko hoi o ko Rusia halepaahao, he mea nmui keia e hoala ana I na manao kaumaha.  O, aole he mea e hole ae ai he Nihiliti io no ko loko o keia aina o ka maewaewa!”

“He mea oiaio he mea pono ia`u ke kokua aku ia oe.  E ha`I mai oe ia`u heaha la ka`u hana aku ai no ke kokua ana ia oe?”

 

“He mea pono ia o eke hooikaika iho ia oe a e paa hoi kou manao I hiki ai ia oe kekokua mai ia`u.”

“Aka ke hai aku nei wau ia oe eia ke ola o kau mea e aloha nei ke kau lihilihi nei a aia mai iad oe mai ka huaolelo no kona ola.”

 

“Ina he aloha kou, alaila e hoopau ae I keia mau kamailio ano ole a kaua a e hai mai oe I ka mea oiaio,” wahi a Wete I pane hou aku ai me ka inaina iloko o kona mau maka.
