An accurate translation could assist in many ways from Kanaka Maoli documenting their genealogy, Kanaka Maoli Scholars cite and document their writings, Kanaka Maoli individuals accurately dating historical events, looking at social changes in Traditional Hawaii, looking at power rule and the lineages that were to/or have succeeded, and so much more.
Noelani I know that you have had a great deal of translated work done with Puakea and others, do you know if the above was translated at all? Do you know if Aunty Edith McKenzie has worked on this and maybe possibly printed in her Volume Three of Hawaiian Genealogies?
You need to be a member of maoliworld to add comments!
I don't see why you couldn't render it as two words. I wrote it as one because I felt the papa manawa was more about presenting the info than the style of writing used (not that I'm trying to argue that that was the "correct" way to approach this either, just giving my intention). In our translation of Kamehameha, for the most part, I think we've been pushing for something more along the lines of what Noe is talking about, with matching numbers of words and trying to make more of a Hawaiian-sounding English. It's definitely not a silly question because I think tone/intent are two of the most important ways translations can be changed deliberately/accidentally for good/bad.
Nice answer. I like what you said about thinking about the papa manawa form as really about presenting information, more abbreviated like a list. Cool.
sorry to be the bottleneck here guys. had zero time the last few days, and i was in class and meetings almost straight from 9am to 9pm. i'll be done with my section tomorrow, although i am utterly confused by the reference to "na Holomahana" in 1739. S and I checked through a bunch of printed sources, all the newspapers that we had OCRed, and I even asked Ralefa, who has a strong grasp of the history of that time, but to no avail. anyway, i'll translate around it and send it in tomorrow.
Wow, you guys are so cool. I'm totally busy too, but it's so tempting to play translation. Hey, but there are about 12 other folks in this hui.....feel free to jump in any time!!!! I know some of us seem like we do this a lot, but helping folks and getting help is how I learn....no laila....lele kawa!!!!!
