ʻO ka mea maʻamau no kēlā wahine kēia wahine,ʻo nā pua nani kekahi o nā makana maikaʻi loa, akā,ʻikeʻole kekahi he hiki i kahi puaʻa ke haʻi nui i nā manaʻo a me ka manaʻo o ke kanaka i hāʻawi i kēlā makana . I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio ana mākou i ka mō'īwahine o nā pua - he rose, a ho'āʻo eʻike i keʻano o ka hāʻawiʻana i nā lālā keʻokeʻo.
He aha keʻano o nā puaʻa keʻokeʻo?
Inā mākou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i keʻano o nā lūlū keʻokeʻo i ka'ōlelo o nā pua, a laila, e hoʻomaopopoʻia he hōʻailona kēia o ka maʻemaʻe, ka pololei, ka halaʻole, ka maʻalahi, ka haʻahaʻa, a pēlā aku. Ma ka hoʻomana Karistiano, he laʻa keʻokeʻo e hoʻolaʻaʻia i ka makuahine o ke Akua,ʻaʻohe halaʻole ma muli o ka hānauʻo ia i ka Mea Ho'ōla.
I Roma kahiko, ua hoʻoholoʻia i ka manawa o nā kūkākūkā maikaʻi e kau i ka papaʻaina me nā roma keʻokeʻo, no ka mea, uaʻikeʻia kēia pua i hōʻailona o ka noho mālie a hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ka hōʻikeʻoleʻana i nā mea huna o ke kūkā. Mai ia manawa, ua hala ka'ōlelo "malalo o ka rose," e kuhikuhi ana i ka hilahila o nā hua'ōlelo i'ōleloʻia.
ʻO ka lālā keʻokeʻo i nā manawa a pau ka pua nui i kēlā me kēia mareʻana. ʻO kēia mau'ōmaʻomaʻo keʻokeʻo momona ka hoʻomaopopo nui i ka nani o ka wahine mare, kāna mea aloha,'ōpio. Ma ke ala, aia wale nō i kahi pōpō o kēia mau pua keʻokeʻo eʻaeʻia e lawe i ka wahine mare, no ka lōʻihi o kaʻahaʻaina o kaʻahaʻaina.
He aha keʻano o nā puaʻa keʻokeʻo ma ke kanaka?
No laila, inā hāʻawi kahi kanaka iāʻoe i kahi lālā o nā rosa keʻokeʻo me he makana lā, a laila, makemakeʻo ia e hoʻokūkū i kou nani, ke aloha, ka hilahila, ka'ōpio, ka palekana. Ke hāʻawi nei i nā lelo keʻokeʻo, he kanaka e hōʻike ana e makemakeʻo ia e mālama iāʻoe, palekana, palekana mai nā pilikia, ua hoʻonohoʻiaʻo ia no ka pili lōʻihi lōʻihi aʻo kona mau manaʻo i loko o ia mea heʻoiaʻiʻo loa.
Inā ua hōʻike kāu keiki i hoʻokahi wale nō keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo,ʻaʻole naʻe i kaʻaina puaʻa, mai manaʻoʻoe heʻanoʻo ia, akāʻaʻole ke kanaka e haʻi wale aku iāʻoeʻoʻoe wale nō kāna mea i aloha ai nona, a ua mākaukauʻo ia e hoʻopaʻa i kona ola. Ma ke ala, ināʻoe e huli i ka'ōlelo Lina o nā rosa, hiki iāʻoe keʻike e pili ana i ka waiwai o ka helehelena i hāʻawiʻiaʻaʻole wale ma kaʻili wale nō,
- hoʻokahi hāla, hoʻokahi nō naʻau;
- ʻekolu lālā e hōʻike ana i kahi hōʻike o ke aloha;
- ʻelima mau Roses e'ōlelo ana ua makaukau kekahi e hele i ka hopena o ke ao no kāna mea i aloha ai;
- ʻEhiku mau wīwī e hōʻike pinepine i ka makemake e komo koke aku i kahi mea aloha.
Inā mākou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i keʻano o ke kanaka i koho i nā rosa keʻokeʻo iāʻoe i makana, pono e hoʻomaopopoʻia he mea koʻikoʻi kēia kanaka, me nā'ōkole maikaʻi no kou wā e hiki mai ana.
