I got the piece below at

projectgutenberg.info

You might want to follow the last link, as they have eBooks in ~100 languages,
and many in Hawaiian.

I'm forwarding this to their Executive Director, who will probably reply
in a week when he returns from Japan and Korea.

Dear Yuri,

The Bible gateway has a fair number of different language Bibles.

Check

http://www.biblegateway.com/languages/

Most Bible translations that appear on the site appear courtesy of the
publishers and copyright holders.

Tentmaker also has many translations

http://www.tentmaker.org/BiblesOnline/

Some Bibles in Oceanic languages are available by searching
bookstores.

Others are accessible on the Web, or example

Hawaiian

http://baibala.olelo.hawaii.edu/cgi-bin/bible

Maori

http://www.christianisrael.com/maori/

http://www.biblekeeper.com/maori/

Good luck in your search.

It would be interesting if you were to share your complete
list of translations.

Best regards,

Ken
