I have a Hawaiian language question. What does malama aku no mean?

Update:

What do these words mean when they are together in a whole sentence and what do they mean as separate words?

    "Mālama aku no" means something like 'Take care' or 'Take good care of yourself'.

    "mālama" (verb) : 'to care for', 'to preserve', 'to protect'

    "aku" (particle) : changes the verb in the direction away from the speaker (doesn't exist in English)

    "mālama aku" : 'to care for others' (in contrast to "mālama mai" meaning 'to be cared for')

    "no" (preposition) : 'for' (used for things that are out of personal control, doesn't exist in English)
