Transcription and translation.

There is written above the first witness's name "d.", or maybe even "d. i.". I don't know what this means.

1st photo. Geboren am 19tn getauft am 20tn Dezember. | 6 | Johannes Getauft von P Vinzenz Marek Kaplan. Hebam̅e Viktoria Demek aus Abtsdorf N. 201. | katholisch | mänlich [spelling should be -nn-]

2nd photo. Theresia Woletz, eheliche Tochter nach Anton Woletz Inwohners aus Oberdorf N 6 und seines Eheweibes Anna geboren Peschel aus Abtsdorf N 157, beide leitomischler Bezirks. | + + + Joseph Woletz Inwohner in Königsberg N 3; + + + Maria Woletz dessen Ehegattin

'+ + +' was standard symbology for 'illiterate person, unable to write their name'.

Born the 19th baptized the 20th of December | house No. 6 | baptized by [pastor, priest] Vinzenz Marek chaplain. Midwife Viktoria Demek from Abtsdorf No. 201. | Catholic | male

Theresia Woletz, legitimate daughter of Anton Woletz, inwohner from Oberdorf No. 6 and his wife Anna née Peschel from Abtsdorf No. 157, both from the bezirk of Leitomischl | + + + Joseph Woletz inwohner in Königsberg No. 3; + + + Maria Woletz his spouse

Königsberg was a hamlet in the municipality of Abtsdorf/Opatov.

The combination "nach [somebody] Inwohners" is ungrammatical. Instead of nach 'after', there should be des 'of the'. If one were to persist with nach, then the -s is wrong.
