Hello, I've copied this paragraph from an Italian birth record, but Google Translate is giving me a jumbled translation. Could someone please help translate this to English?
A quanto sopra e a questo atto sono stati presenti quali testimoni Carrubba Calogero fu Salvatore, di anni sessantotto, contadino, e Lara Domenico fu Rosario di anni ventiquattro, zolfataio, entrambi residenti in questio Comune. Il dichiarante ha denunciato la nascita su detta nella qualita di capo di famiglia avendo la MANCINO partorito nella casa di lui, e non potendo il marito di essa denunciare la nascita su detta perché ammalato.
Letto il present atto agli intervenuti si e da me solamente sottoscritto stante il dichiarante ed i testimoni aver detto di non sapere sottoscrivere.
('MANCINO is the wife's surname)

Re: Help with birth record paragraph
Witnesses to the above and to this act were Calogero Carruba, son of deceased Salvatore, aged 68, peasant farmer and Domenico Lara son of deceased Rosario, aged 24, sulfur miner, both residing in this Comune. The declarant has announced the above birth since he is the head of the family in the house where the MANCINO delivered the baby and because her husband could not announce the above birth since he was ill.
This act was read to the attendees and was signed only by me since the declarant and the witnesses said yo be illiterate.
