I do not read German. However, I asked a friend and she gave this loose
translation, mentioning that dialect may have a bearing on the transcription
as given. Loosely: Blessed are those who die in in the Lord.

With other languages I've found that you can often go to a nearby college or
university and find an exchange student or a professor
who can help out. If a letter or document, please be willing to pay the
student something for their time.
