This is the birth certificate of my great grandmother. With the help of Joe Ross (JRI-Poland
Zakroczym Town Volunteer), I located it at the following location:

While I can get some initial translation using Transkribus and Google Translate, I'm concerned that some resulting inaccuracies will go undetected. It would be much better to have a translation produced by a human.
Many thanks.

Hello,
I agree that AI translations can often be misleading. Here is a human translation:

No. 75 — Zakroczym

So happened in the town of Zakroczym on the 30th (18th [Julian calendar]) day of December 1853 in the 10th hour of the morning. There appeared the Jew Abram Klejman, tailor, aged 29 years, residing in Zakroczym; in the presence of witnesses the Jews Hersz Naparstek, synagogue sexton, aged 51 years, and Leyzor Abramowicz, hospital guard, aged 50 years, [both] residing in Zakroczym; and showed us a child of female sex, born here in Zakroczym on the 24th (12th) day of December of the current year in the 5th hour of the morning, to his [Abram’s] wife Chaia née Herszek, aged 27 years, which child was given the name Frymet by religious rite. The act was read to the appearing person and the witnesses, and signed by us [the registrar] and the witnesses; the father is illiterate.
