Two Birth Record translations
I'm looking for the 19 August 1716 birth record for Anders Påhlsson. There are several births that day, and I've narrowed it down to two images, but am having trouble with some of the handwriting. The first image seems to be for Anders, but the father's name does not seem patronymically correct (I think it is also Anders). Could someone name the father, mother, child and place in each record? (Stora Mellösa, Örebro, C: 3, 1705-1746). Thanks you!

I hope that @Heidi Kuosmanen sees this and can confirm if I am correct.
I think the first record of Anders born on the 19th August says the father's name is Anders Ångers (there is a farm in Stora Mellössa named Ånkersta which may have something to do with his last name, especially since he is a soldier). The mother is Karin Nilsdotter.
The second record looks like the father is Påfvel Andersson and the mother is Kierstin Sörensdotter or Svensdotter. The child is also Anders. Påfvel could also be written Påhl depending on the writer. See this article in the Wiki: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Sweden_Names,_Personal .

Yes, first record is Anders born to soldier Anders Ånger living in Ånkersta and wife Karin Nilsdotter
Second record is Anders born to Påfval Andersson and wife Kierstin Svänsdotter living in Råsiö.
Påfval/Påfvel is just more fancy/churchly name and it's commonly called Påhl one name variation from Paulus. Like Matthias/Mattheus is usually called just Matts.
