NOTE: The Hawaiian language is a phonetic language (almost like Spanish). Please keep this in mind while reading/pronouncing the italicized words. It is also important that each vowel in the/a word is pronounced. If not, what you're saying will be completely different from what you intend to say. For example:

au (ah-oo) = I

ao (ah-oh) = Cloud

In Hawai'i, we have many different sayings, most of which are considered proverbs, or ʻōlelo no'eau ('OH-le-lo noh-'eh-au). To say we have one saying is like saying there are only 5 stars in the sky. However, our state motto is:

Ua mau ke'ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono.

(OO-wah mau ke-'eh-ah oh ka 'aah-ee-nah ee ka po-no.)

The life of the land is preserved in righteousness.

We have many other Hawaiian sayings, like mālama pono, which means to take care. If you want to learn more Hawaiian sayings or ʻōlelo no'eau, simply go to ulukau.org. The entire site is in Hawaiian, so it is best to click on the tab labeled "English Text" at the very top of the page. After, you can browse through the site for more information on the Hawaiian language and culture. The site also contains books you can look through and learn more Hawaiian sayings.

You don't. Miranda is not a word, it's a name, and is the same in any language. Someone who only speaks Hawaiian would probably have difficulty saying it, though, since Hawaiian has no letter for R or D.
