Translation:

On 9 February blessedly died the Most Reverend and Most Learned Mr. Johann Georg Kümpel, Deacon at the local town church. He was born in Wernshausen on 21 January 1724. After he had laid a good foundation in the humanities at the school in Schmalkalden, and completed his academic studies in Jena in a period of 3 years, he was accepted in 1747 to the "numerum Candidatorum reverendi Ministeri" (the list of candidates for the church service?). He received the call to the local Deanery in 1759. With his otherwise good health, he was stricken with a severe fever as he preached for the last time on the Fest of Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary [2 February]; he lost his life on the 6th day of the illness, and thus lived only 44 years 2 weeks and 4 days in this pilgrimage. The funeral took place on the 12th, and was preached about Revelation 2 verse 10 Be thou faithful until death.The sermon was preached? by S.J. Mr. Rector Abt. The blessed Deacon was a man of profound erudition, edifying discourse, and _____ life.

I think the word in the last line is priesterlich = priestly.
