Need Help with a birth record

I am having a problem reading a birth record in Sodankylä province. The birth record on the upper left side for a Johan Petter.

Inhysingen Johan Pyhäjärfvis och dess hustru Elsas son Johan Petter
Faddr: bonden Johan Martin jemte sin hustru Malin. Bonden Abram Tervo jemte sin hustru Greta. Bondesonen Hans Tervo och pigan Caisa Gustava Arvola.
Döpt å Hjetasuvando hemman.

N.B. Elsa is a variation of Elisabet, like Lisa. Sometimes you may find either for one person.

Thanks Jaska
I learned a new word (Faddr).

Actually the complete word is faddrar, plural of fadder
The Finnish word is kummit (sing. kummi)
Sometimes you can see for the same purpose word wittnen (modern: vittnen) or its Latin equivalent testes.
