ʻO ka lā ʻelima o ka malama ʻelima o ka mahina i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻo ka ʻAhaʻaina Waʻa Dragon ka ʻahaʻaina kuʻuna Kina, i kapa ʻia hoʻi ʻo DuanYangJie festival, Dragon Boat Festival, 5 lā, a pēlā aku, kaulana ia ma Kina a me nā ʻāina o ka ʻahaʻaina moʻomeheu kuʻuna Kina, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻahaʻaina kuʻuna nui ʻehā ma Kina e hoʻomana i nā kūpuna, e pale aku i ka pōʻino, e hoʻolauleʻa ana i ka leʻaleʻa a me ka ʻai no ka hoʻohui ʻana o nā ʻāpana nui o ka poʻe.

I kēia lā, e mālama mākou i nā heihei waʻa deragona, e kau i nā manu pepa, e kau i nā lau calamus a me nā lau mugwort ma ka puka pā, e ʻai i ka zongzi a me nā hana ʻē aʻe e hoʻomanaʻo ai i ka haku mele aloha ʻāina nui ʻo Qu Yuan.

No ka mea, he lā hoʻomaha ka ʻAhaʻaina Waʻa Deragona, ua mālama kā mākou hale hana i ka hana ʻana i ka zongzi ma mua o ka ʻAhaʻaina Waʻa Deragona, a ua hāʻawi aku i nā zongzi i wahī ʻia me nā makana ʻē aʻe o ka ʻAhaʻaina Waʻa Deragona i kēlā me kēia limahana, i hiki ai i nā limahana ke ʻike i kā mākou mau loina ʻahaʻaina Kina Kuʻuna a loaʻa pū kekahi hoʻomaikaʻi mai kā mākou hui.

ʻO kēia kekahi o nā moʻomeheu ʻoihana o kā mākou hui. Me ka ulu wikiwiki ʻana o ke kaiāulu, ʻaʻole pono mākou e poina i nā ʻahaʻaina kuʻuna a me nā loina o Kina, a me ka ʻuhane moʻomeheu a mākou i hoʻoilina ai. Ma ke ʻano he ʻoihana, pono mākou e hoʻokau i kahi kumu hoʻohālike, e hoʻomanaʻo mau i ko mākou kuleana kaiāulu, e mālama i ke olakino kino a me ka noʻonoʻo o kā mākou poʻe limahana, akā e hoʻomanaʻo pū i ka hoʻoilina o ke ʻano o ka kuʻuna Kina.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, makemake mākou iā ʻoukou a pau i kahi lā hoʻomaha hauʻoli no ka ʻAhaʻaina Waʻa Dragon!
