Nicely formatted records like the ones in Bredstedt are a wonderful place to learn how to read the records yourself. They use a very limited number of words.
The FamilySearch Help Center has several free online classes that teach you a. the letters b, to read individual key words, and c. to read entire records. See https://www.familysearch.org/ask/learningViewer/2109
In addition, here is a list of key words, which includes a printable PDF version. https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/German_Genealogical_Word_List .
I hope you will feel inspired to learn the basics of reading these records. It gives you a special connection to your ancestors.
That said, here is your record:

Baerbel,
Thank you for the links. I have taken one tutorial before. This one by Charlotte is more helpful. The genealogical word list will be of great use.

Thank you for these links. Of course I will try...although I believe that having a German language background would help tremendously, which I don't have. Names and dates are all I see For now. I apologize for all of the records. I have searched for nearly 40 years to find this family line and have found a mountain of information. Your quick translations have led me to even more records. Grateful for your help!

You can do it! When I started genealogy I didn’t speak a word of French and now I speak nearly fluent “genealogy French”! Just takes some work. . If you have a lot of content for translation, you can also check at a college or university nearby... a lot of graduate students from Germany will take a translating gig for extra money. Also check out www.sktranslations.com. She has some excellent tools and has a Facebook page for translations.
Viel Glück!

Super helpful! I found this in the column of links to the right, its the very first blue link, "Learn Old German script videos". They are taught by Dr. Fritz Juengling.
I have watched these numerous times, because, German handwriting is so terrible to read at times, and these are amazing! Just amazing! I was even impressed that there's a handout to go with it, I just printed it out, actually, a couple, because, sometimes, my hand just doesn't cooperate. I worked on this while Dr. J was teaching. My favorite thing, I can stop, when I need to grab a snack, or hit the restroom. Three hours worth of fun script tutorials right at my fingertips.
