Here is a link to the indexed census: https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid9754982. This should be able to answer your questions. Google translate will give you a fairly decent translation of anything that is not clear.
For the birth/christening record:
Column 1: Entry no. 16
Column 2: Birthdate-6 October
Column 3: Child's name-Karen Marie Jensen
Column 4: Baptism date-23 November in the church; (mother's age) 27
Column 5: Parents' occupations, names and residence- __________ Jens Jeppesen and wife Frederikke Marie Haldt (or Holdt)-Førslev-27 years (old). See Note below
Column 6: Godparents/sponsors-maid Sophia ________ in Førslev, servant Hans Jeppesen at ________ , cottager ____________ Hansen in Førslev and farmer Jacob Halke(? could be the same as the mother's surname) in ___________.
Column 7: Page in the jævnførelsesregister-page 448 entry 171 (that entry is here: https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/en/billedviser?bsid=427332#427332,78475361)
Note on Column 5: It isn't really clear and it is abbreviated, but I believe his occupation is "fæste(gaardman)d-copy holder, leaseholder, farmer" and something else I can't make out.

Thank you so much! I couldn't make some of it out enough to try to translate it, without a little familiarity with the vocabulary, so I really appreciate your input!
