E holo mua ana ke Kulanui o Hawaiʻi ma ke kūkulu ʻana i ʻohe nānā ma Hale Pōhaku.
ʻO ia aʻela kekahi poʻo nūhou o kēia lā, ka lā mua o Pepeluali, he Pōʻakahi. Welina e nā makamaka. ʻO Ke Aolama kēia a penei ka nūhou.

Aia i Kona i Honalo.
Hoʻopuka ʻia aku kēia ʻōlelo i ka wā e nalowale loa ai kekahi mea.
