Best Answer

The word `pono` in the Hawaiian language is referred to most popularly as 'righteousness'. As is stated in the Hawaii state motto: `Ua Mau ke Ea o ka Äâ'¬ina i ka Pono` (translated directly as: the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness). However, the word is often used to mean correct, honorable, or good. There are strong cultural and spiritual connotations to the word. A loose definition could be a state of harmony or balance.

The two words that you needed translated, "kuleana" which has multiple meanings, in the old Hawaiian days it meant "land divisions" and can also represent your space or spirituality.
