Here is a rough translation of the record. Hope it helps:

"Valentinus Metzmeier, Gunzenbach (a place in Bavaria, Germany)

Baden, in 1817, on the 18th of April, evening 6 o’clock, was born, and on the 19th of the current month and year (i.e. April 1817), afternoon 3 o’clock, was baptized a boy named Valentin, lawful son of Joseph Metzmeier, citizen and (occupation - unable to decipher it), and of Magdalena, born (i.e. her maiden name) Lorenz.

The witnesses were Joseph Sulzer, local citizen and city (unable to decipher the occupation), and Johannes Jäeger, local citizen and farmer in Thiergarten (i.e. a place in Germany), godfathers of the child.

Baden, on 19th April 1817.

Johannes Andreas Lorenz, city (mayor?)"
