Tiki Central / General Tiki / Hawaiian translation - is this correct?

I'd like to write "Life is Good" on my hut. I used an online translator and found "Ola Maika'i" (life good.) It appears there is no "is" in the Hawaiian language. Would those 2 words be okay? OR is it not right?

I also found "Ke ola Maika'i" which is supposed to say "The Good Life." That's ok too but I'd prefer Life is Good. I just don't want it to be wrong although I don't know anyone who would know if it WAS wrong, myself included but I have some secret perfectionist tendencies.

Any translation help would be most appreciated. Mahalo in advance!
