Описание: KUMULIPO ~ The Hawaiian Chant of Creation

www.PeaceWarriorPrincessLeinaala.org
This is the beginning of the two thousand line creation chant called
Kumulipo. The Kumulipo is the sacred creation chant of a family of
Hawaiian ali'i, or ruling chiefs. When Captain James Cook first landed
at Kealakekua, Hawaii he was greeted with food, water, and at a ceremony
this chant was recited by two Hawaiian kahuna. In later years Queen
Liliuokalani identified this chant as a cosmogonic and genealogical
prayer, the Kumulipo. This prayer chant, which belonged to her family,
traced the family's divine origin by genealogical pairs through great
rulers, heroes, and primary gods back to the first spark of life in the
universe


HE KUMULIPO
NO KA'I'IMAMAO
A IA ALAPAI WAHINE

O ke au i kahuli wela ka honua
O ke au i kahuli lole ka lani
O ke au i kuka'iaka ka la
E ho'omalamalama i ka la
O ke au i Makali'i ka po
O ka Walewale ho'okumu honua ia
O ke kumu o ka lipo
O ke kumu o ka Po i po ai
O ka Lipolipo, o ka lipolipo
O ka lipo o ka La, o ka lipo o ka Po
Po wale ho-i



At the time that turned the heat of the earth
At the time that the heavens turned and changed
At the time that the light of the sun was subdued
To cause light to break forth

At the time of the night of Makali'i
Then began the slime which established the earth
The source of deepest darkness

Of the depths of darkness, of the depths of darkness
Of the darkness of the sun, in the depth of night, It is night
So night is born.

Ancestors from the rising to the setting sun
From the zenith to the horizon
Ancestors who stand at our back and front
You who stand at our right hand
A breathing in the heavens
An utterance in the heavens
A clear, ringing voice in the heavens
A voice reverberating in the heavens
Here are your descendants, the Hawaiians

Safeguard us
That we may flourish in the heavens
That we may flourish on earth
That we may flourish in the Hawaiian islands
Grant us knowledge
Grant us strength
Grant us intelligence
Grant us understanding
Grant us insight
Grant us power
The prayer is lifted, it is free.
