Can someone translate this?

Can someone translate entry number one, Christen (son of Else Kristensdr)? This is the brother of my 3rd-great grandfather. I can't read it very well. I would love it if someone could read the whole thing, but I am especially interested in who the father is and where he is from. I suspect it is not my 4th-great grandfather, and that Christen might actually be my ancestor's half-brother. Thanks so much!

The fourth column lists the parents and it reads (as near as I can tell):
Parents Maid Else Kristensdatter, servant with farmer Kristen Bak in Aagard. The alleged father is Christian Arendal from ? (could be an abbreviation for Nørgaard, but I can't be certain).

I believe it says the father is Christian Arendal(it's a city) from Norway. (Norge) This census shows Else a few years later, now married to Kristen Kristensen, but I do not believe he is the biological father of Christen b. 1828. https://www.danishfamilysearch.com/cid3339317 Else's child Ane Marie was also illegitimate. https://www.sa.dk/ao-soegesider/en/billedviser?bsid=402959#402959,74555900

Thanks! Can you tell who the witnesses are?
I agree. I think either Else had illegitimate children with other men before marrying Kristen, or there was another Else Christensdatter living on the Aagaard Estate who had this child. I am still working on researching and trying to put the right pieces together. Thanks for your help!

The witness are Maren Kristensdatter from Bindslov Præsteg(aa)rd and Dorthe Kristensdatter, farmer Jens Nedegaard, cottager Lars Pedersen and Karl Kristian Kristensen from Aagaard.
