Here is a translation for you:
Entry no. 36 Pruska (it looks like this town no longer exists as I can't find it on a modern map. I did however find it just northwest of Opatowiec on a historical map which you can see here: https://mapire.eu/en/map/europe-19century-secondsurvey/?bbox=2296784.603227244%2C6487583.22107584%2C2314967.0613305806%2C6493315.998197228&layers=158%2C164)
In the town of Opatowiec, on the fourth/sixteenth of May 1869, at 8 o'clock in the morning, appeared Wincenty Osieka, a peasant and resident of the village of Pruska, twenty-six years old, in the presence of witnesses Pavel (? unknown surname - Pedzved... something), 32 years old and Jan Moncznik 30 years old, both peasants and residents of the city of Mistrzowice and testified that in the village of Pruska on the third/fifteenth of May of this year at 10 o'clock in the evening of his lawful wife Jadwiga nee Polterak was born a female child who was baptized and given the name of Zophia. The witnesses and godparents were Pavel (? unknown surname - Pedzved...something?) and Franciszka Monchnik. This act was read and signed on behalf of the witnesses.

I am getting better figuring out the names, but this is by far the most challenging language ever. Thanks so much.
