Sorry, but there is no program to my knowledge where you can translate to English.
Scanned records, some with poor handwriting, poor ink and an old-fashioned language is problematic for most Norwegians to read.
Digitized records exist in some parish`s, but an ordianry translater will get lost.
You can ask for help anytime

Three contributors have helped with this - by continuing further back with the research, by pointing to study aids, and by offering help at any time you request a specific translation of a specific record. Maybe I can add a bit by looking at a specific record with you. My skill in reading the handwriting and understanding is entry level, but if corrections are needed we can rely on help with that.
Let's try your grandfather's birth-baptism posted page 1.
The year 1879 is at the top of the page.
Columns for each birth-baptism are
Entry #/ birth month and day/ baptism month and day / child's given name/ parents/ residence of parents/ birth year of father/ birth year of mother/ list of godparents/ legitimate birth (in this case)/ space for comments (none in this case)
#17
February 23
April 6
Olaf
Anders Nilsen, Hsmd (huusmand is an occupation)
Helene Olsdtr (a short way of writing Olsdatter)
Residence is ? Nausdeie?
1849 (Anders birth year)
1856 (Helene's birth year)
Godparents:
Hsmd Peder Anders. Nausdeie ?? (Anders. is short for Andersen; last word is a farm/residence)
og kone (means "and wife")
Moeller (an occupation) Mathias Olsen --?-- (farm name)
Hsmdtr? (Husmandsdatter?) Karen Nilsdtr Lillekylstadeie??
A note about godparents: they can be family, friends, or neighbors.
Peder Andersen seemingly is at least a neighbor. His wife is not named and could be researched. Mathias Olsen could possibly maybe be a brother to Helene Olsdatter. Karen Nilsdatter could possibly be a sister to Anders Nilsen.
Farm names are the most difficult, as they are usually words we've never seen before. The forum contributors have helped a lot of North Americans with this!
Abbreviations are tough as they can't be translated by Google Translate or Gramtrans or other online translation programs.
Archaic job titles are also hard to translate for most.
Routinely proper nouns are written on two lines, which is unexpected for modern readers. The name Andersen can appear as:
Ander
sen
Family Search website offers "Learning Pages" that include lists of farm names in Norway. However, the spelling of place names changed over time and also varied because spelling was not strictly standardized. I did not find the farm name where your grandfather was born on the Family Search learning page for Ringsaker. You may want to ask the forum about that. See also study aids posted by Hopkins.
Hope this helps.
