"These creatures are simply mo'o. If I attack them, they will run for their lives." 3The people, failing to recognize Hiiaka as their deliverer, spiritless from long habituation to the fraudulent dominion of these imposters, fearful also of their vengeance, stoutly opposed Hiiaka, affirming that Pili-a-mo'o and Noho-a-mo'o were gods in reality, having great power and capable of doing many wonderful things. They declared their readiness to back their opinion with their property, yes, with their lives. They were at length persuaded, however, to accept as decisive the test proposed by Hiiaka, namely, that, if they fled when attacked, they should cease to be regarded as gods and should be dealt with as imposters. 4True to Hiiaka's prediction, the mo'o, in abject fear, turned and fled for their lives at her first threatening move and she now called upon the people to pursue and destroy them: 5Kaumaha ka aï o Hilo i ka lehua Mai ka Nuku-o-ka-manu [80] a Puna-hoa, e. Hoa ia iho la kau kanáka, I pa'a, o pahe'e auane'i; Hina i ka Lua-kanáka. He kanáka! He mau akua, e! ‹Previous chapterPele and Hiiaka 62Next chapterPele and Hiiaka 64›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
