I try this translation:

"Then Ola Knuts Hamre was sentenced to lose his property due to adultery with Siri Ivarstr. Siri could not pay the fine, and shoud suffer on her body, i.e. be flogged, but the court accepted that Anders Haukeberg paid Siri's fine. You don't need much phantasy to see that Ola Knutsen was a widower and that he married his Siri Ivarstr, because she was his wife at the division of the inheritance. The division shows movables worth 60 "riksdaler", 1 old mill, 3 pastures (?) (beiter) (does this mean the right to use the ground for pastures?) and 4 herring nets. They did not own houses or ground."

Best regards
