3/24 Conversation
Ua make ka hoa aloha o ko'u hoahanau i inanā ahiahi. He pōhaku'āina ia i lohoia ai. Piha ka hauʻoli o ko'u manaʻo i ka ʻike ʻana iā lāua i ko'u huakaʻi ʻana i Aotearoa i Dekemaba hope loa.
My best friend's husband passed away yesterday evening. He had cancer and was in a hospice. I'm glad I got to see them both on my visit to Aotearoa last December.
A few notes on the translation:
"Ua make" means "passed away"
"Hoa aloha" means "beloved friend/partner"
"Pōhaku'āina" is a respectful term for cancer
"Lohoia" refers to being in hospice care
"Huakaʻi" means "visit" or "journey"
The translation maintains the compassionate tone of the original message while using Hawaiian language and cultural expressions.
I am an emotional wreck:
I've provided two variations:
"He piʻi kai nō wau" - This literally translates to something like "I am a wave-tossed [person]", conveying the sense of being emotionally overwhelmed.
"Ua pāpale ʻia koʻu manaʻo" - This means "My thoughts/emotions have been disrupted/scattered", which captures the essence of feeling like an emotional wreck.
The first option sounds a bit more colloquial and poetic, while the second is more directly descriptive. Both communicate the sense of being emotionally turbulent or in disarray.

ʻO Hakalanileo (Hakalanileo?) ka makua kāne a ʻo Hoohoakalani (Hoʻohoakalani?) ka makuahine o Kana(Kana?). He mau aliʻi lāua no Hilo mai, ma ka mokupuni ʻo Hawaiʻi. Ua hānau ʻia maila ʻo Hakalanileo(Hakalanileo?) na Uli (Uli?) a me kāna kāne. He keiki maikaʻi nō | ʻo Hakalanileo (Hakalanileo?), a he aliʻi hanohano nō hoʻi. ʻO Hoohoakalani(Hoʻohoakalani?) hoʻi, he wahine ʻiuʻiu nō hoʻi ʻo ia no Hilo-one mai. A noho pū ʻo Hakalanileo(Hakalanileo?) lāua me Hoohoakalani (Hoʻohoakalani?) he kāne a he wahine. Ma hope mai, hānau maila nā keiki. He ʻelima a lāua keiki, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Kekahawalu(Kekahawalu?), ʻo Lealea(Leʻaleʻa?), ʻo Haka(Haka?), ʻo Niheu(Nīheu?), a ʻo Kana (Kana?) ka muli loa.
O keia poe keiki ma mua, he poe kino kanaka maoli ko lakou, a e loaa ana ko lakou ikaika e like me ka loaa ana i na kanaka a pau. Aka, o Niheu nae, he ano kupua paha o ia, no ka mea, he keu hoi kona ikaika. A o Kana hoi, he ano e loa no kona kulana, kona nanaina, a mau ouli hoi.
ʻO kēia poʻe keiki ma mua, he poʻe kino kanaka maoli ko lākou, a e loaʻa ana ko lākou ikaika e like me ka loaʻa ʻana i nā kānaka a pau. Akā, ʻo Niheu (Nīheu?) naʻe, he ʻano kupua paha ʻo ia, no ka mea, he keu hoʻi kona ikaika. A ʻo Kana (Kana?) hoʻi, he ʻano ʻē loa nō kona kūlana, kona nānaina, a mau ʻōuli hoʻi.
Ma mua o kona hanau ana, ua maopopo no ia Uli, he keiki kupanaha keia. I ka puni ana o na mahina i ka makuahine, e manao ana na makua me ka lehulehu, e hanau ana ke keiki. A i ka hala ana o ka puni, he mea haohao ka hanau ole, a he mea pioloke no hoi no ke alo alii a me ka poe ike a pau. Ninau ia na kahuna a me ka poe kilokilo, aole nae he hoomaopopo. Okoa kela pane keia pane. A ninau ia mai hoi o Uli i kana ike, a i aku la keia, he kaula ke keiki a he hana nui no kana ma keia hope aku. He makahiki nae a me eono malama, a laila, hanau mai.
Ma mua o kona hānau ʻana, ua maopopo nō iā Uli, he keiki kupanaha kēia. I ka puni ʻana o nā mahina i ka makuahine, e manaʻo ana nā mākua me ka lehulehu, e hānau (ʻia) ana ke keiki. A i ka hala ʻana o ka puni, he mea haʻohaʻo ka hānau ʻole, a he mea piʻoloke nō hoʻi no ke alo aliʻi a me ka poʻe ʻike a pau. Nīnau ʻia nā kāhuna a me ka poʻe kilokilo, ʻaʻole naʻe he hoʻomaopopo. ʻOkoʻa kēlā pane kēia pane. A nīnau ʻia mai hoʻi ʻo Uli i kāna ʻike, a ʻī akula kēia, he kaula ke keiki a he hana nui nō kāna ma kēia hope aku. He makahiki naʻe a me ʻeono malama, a laila, hānau mai.
A hala ia mau malama a hanau ia mai la no o Kana ma ke ano he pauku kaula i ka po mahina o Kaloa-pau i ka malama o Ikuwa. I kona hanau ia ana, ua kuhihewa na makua me na hanau mua i ke ola pono ole o ke keiki. Eia no nae, i ko Uli nana ana aku i ke keiki, ua ike aku no o ia i ke kino kanaka ona.

A hala ia mau malama a hānau ‘ia maila nō ‘o Kana ma ke ʻano he paukū kaula i ka pō mahina o Kāloa-pau i ka malama o ʻIkuwā.

A ulu aʻela ‘o Kana a he kino kanaka nō kona, ua mau nō naʻe kona ʻano kupua e like me kona kaikuaʻana, me Niheu ho‘i.
O Kapepeekauila kahi koa ikaika a kaulana no Haupukele ma Molokai. I kona lohe ana no ka maikai o ka wahine a Hakalanileo, komo iho la ka iini a me ka lili i loko ona.

A kaua aku la no laua a lilo hoi o Hoohoakalani i ia alii no Molokai, ia Kapepeekauila. A lohe o Kana no ka lilo ana aku o ko laua makuahine aloha i ke koa kaulana no Molokai, ua hoouka kaua aku no na keiki ia Kapepeekauila. I ko laua hiki ana aku ma Haupukele, Molokai, penei ko laua oli ana:
