      I have this same question. I have noticed that Duolingo only accepts "Ke Akua pu" when translating "God be with you" from English to Hawaiian. Is there particular significance of "Ke" when you are saying "God be with you" rather than "Jesus be with you"?

        Yes, the definite article is necessary if you want to refer to the God in Christianity. (https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Akua)
