Then YOU should translate them, not ask us to do your homework. This kind of request comes along regularly enough that many of us recognize the attempt at a homework shortcut. Some of us may resent the request, but others simply recognize that it isn't doing you any favor to do your homework for you.

Once you have sorted out the verbs and tenses and want to see if the meaning you have teased out seem acurate, then come back and ask for help. Post your translations and the originals and let people compare them. You'll get a far better sort of feedback that way.

Good luck. If you don't have a copy, I found this book very helpful for translation.
