About nupepa

Just another place that posts random articles from the Hawaiian Newspapers! It would be awesome if this should become a space where open discussions happen on all topics written about in those papers!! And please note that these are definitely not polished translations, but are just drafts!!! [This blog is not affiliated with any organization and receives no funding.

Hoohui pu ia ke Aloha

1 A he mea like wale no,
Ka manaoio ka manaolana
Hoohui puia ke aloha
Ke aloha no kai oi ae

Hui

2 Ekolu mea like iloko o’u
Ka manaoio ka manaolana
Hoohui puia ke aloha
O ke aloha no ka e oi ae

3 Ka manaoio ka manaolana
E hoonaniia ke Akua ma na Lani keikie la
He malu ma ka honua
A he aloha no i na kanaka

[Along With Aloha

1 All are the alike
Faith, Hope
Along with Love
But the greatest is Love

Chorus

2 There are three things alike within me
Faith, Hope
Along with Love
But the greatest is Love

3 Faith and Hope
Glory to God in the high Heavens
Peace on earth
Goodwill toward men]

To the people who have not paid their debt to the life of the Newspaper Ka Nai Aupuni for previous month of December, please submit your payment, lest the Lightning Skirt of Halemaumau not be seen of again.

To those who prepay for one month, three months, six months, and a year, for the life of Ka Na’i Aupuni, for those periods are .75 cents, $2.00, $4.00, and $8.00. For those who are late with their payments and a month goes by, they are to pay a $1.00 on the last Monday of that month. No credit will be allowed for more than a month.

[The Palekoki Uwila o Halemaumau is a reference to one of the serials that Ka Na’i Aupuni is running at the time, “Ka Moolelo o Hiiakaikapoliopele: Ka Wahine i ka Hikina a ka La, a o ka Ui Palekoki Uwila o Halemaumau” (The Story of Hiiakaikapoliopele: The Woman at the Rising of the Sun, and the Beauty of the Lightning Skirt of Halemaumau) by Hooulumahiehie.]

Lack of payment for Kuokoa subscription, 1918.

PAY YOUR DEBT TO THE KUOKOA NEWSPAPER.

Please show my thoughts about the people who are subscribing to the Kuokoa newspaper, to pay for their subscription from last year and this current year.

I live near Napoopoo nei in center of the land, and what about all of you? Pay all of your debts from the past year and sleep soundly.

And the same for the people who are newly subscribing who said they wanted newspapers, and you received them; and I wrote the editor that I would be sending the money when the ship returns because of what you all told me. And these months went by, you have not brought your money at all.

It isn’t you all that are being called liars, it is me. So here it is, bring your money to me, the agent or it will cause complications later.

Z. P. KALOKUOKAMAILE,

Agent for the Kuokoa Newspaper.

Napoopoo, March 14, 1918.

[The newspapers are constantly asking people to pay their subscriptions, and it seems that lack of payment caused a number of newspapers to fold.]

MY LOVED ONE, MY FATHER HAS GONE.

He was born at Kaanapali, Maui, in the year of 1827, and when he was 18, he left his birth land for Kapaa, Kauai, and he married his wife and from their loins were born 4 girls with his first wife, and 10 children with his second wife. Continue reading →

HER BELOVED, HER HUSBAND HAS GONE.

To the Editor of the Kuokoa Newspaper, Aloha oe:—Please include in an open space of our favorite, the words placed above.

Being that when the angel of death entered and took the life breath of Mr. Kum Ing, the husband of our much beloved friend, Mrs. Kum Ing, at Honolulu.

Therefore, we, the members of the Ahahui Aloha o na Wahine o Hanalei, Kauai, through our committees, we join with you, oh mother who is left without a father, along with the children and family who carry the pain and sadness for your beloved husband, and father in that unfamiliar land, who has gone; with the constant hope that we have a great father beyond.

O Dear Father,
My precious Lord,
To You I go,
You are my blessing.

At the conclusion of this, all of us, your fellow laborers in the downpouring rain of Hanalei, give our great aloha for you and our children who are without a father, and the ohana as well; and it is God who will watch over us even as we live apart.

We, the

HUI ALOHA O NA WAHINE O HANALEI.

By way of the committee: Mrs. Fanny Samuela, Mrs. Elizabeth W. Werner, Mrs. S. Aarona, Mrs. O. Kuapuhi.

The Moon in Total Darkness.

In the dark early morning of this past Friday, the moon went totally dark, and it was seen here in Honolulu. The darkening began at 2 o’clock and 40 minutes; the darkness met with the shadow at 3:37, and total darkness occurred at 4:51, and it was over at 5:35. Those who woke up in the early morning witnessed it.

DANCE AT KAHILIAULANI HALL.

Between the hours of 11 and 12 p. m., last night, there was a lunar eclipse; it was an eclipse that was not seen and known by the public, being that we announced the eclipse of the moon this month: Kalusa!

[Has anyone seen the use of the exclamation, “Kalusa!”???]

KUU LEI POINA OLE.

He anoi he aloha no kuu lei,
No kuu Iosepa Kahokunani;
Ua ike na lani i ke kiekie,
He pua na ka la i hanau mai;
A he milimili na ke ahe Naulu,
Na ka makani hone o ka aina,
He lei na ka ulumahiehie,
A he malihini no kuu hoomana,
Auhea iho nei kuu lei momi,
Ka hoku nani o kuu hoomana;
Aia paha oe i ka la welo,
I ke kui pua lei no ke ahiahi.
Kuu pua i lohia i ke onaona,
O nohea i ke ao malamalama.
Kuu huihui pua o ka hauoli,
Ua mae i ke ehu kakahiaka;
E ola e ke kama nona ka lei.
Ka hoku nani o kuu hoomana,
E puana ae au me ka walohia,
No Kahokunani kuu lei momi.
Haina ia mai ana ka puana,
Ua ike na lani i ke kiekie.
