6 Di pipol wake-up di next day to offa burnt and peace ofrin. Afta dis, dem celebrate kon dey chop and drink, den dem start to do wetin God sey make dem nor do. 7 God kon tell Moses, “Make yu kwik-kwik go down!

30 Di next day, Moses tell di pipol, “Una don kommit sirious sin; but naw, I go-go meet God, may bi E go fit forgive una.” 31 So Moses go meet God kon sey, “True-true, dis pipol don kommit sirious sin as dem make gold juju for demsef. 32 God, make Yu forgive dem, but if Yu nor go forgive dem, den make Yu remove my name from di book wey Yu rite.” 33 God ansa Moses, “No, doz wey sin against mi, na only dia names I go remove from my book wey get life. 34 Naw make yu dey go; karry di pipol go di place wey I bin tell yu! Si, my angel go lead yu.
