Can anyone translate this document? Possible Czeck.?

I found this among my mother's papers. Her mother was Hungarian but originally from a Czechoslovakian area village. I can't make heads or tails out of this and Google translate isn't doing any better. The only areas not shown are the margins of this document. I've very curious.

If your answer would include a few details as in who, where and when this event happened, I would really appreciate that also.

    Its a document written in SLOVAK and Hungarian. First is Slovak then its translated in Hungarian. Hungarians are a huge minority living in southern Slovakia. Its a birth and christening certificate. All the writing is done in Hungarian. The place Bellény seems to be a hungarian name for a slovak village Belín http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bel%C3%ADn )

    Diecéza = Diocese ................baptism certificate................ Sväzok = bundle, Strana = page

    Zupa = Local administrative unit

    z roku 1903 = from a year 1903

    Bežné čislo = common number (no idea what it means)

    date of birth : January 6, 1903

    date of christening : January 11, 1903

    meno = name ... pohlavie = gender ... ženské = female

    zákonný = legal ... nezákonný = illegal (might mean something else)

    Rodičov meno, zamestnanie, náboženstvo a rodisko = Parent's name, occupation, religion and birthplace

    Bydlisko, čislo domu = residence, street number

    Krstní rodičia = Christening parents

    Krstitel = Baptist

    Poznámka = note

    The bottom line is a current date and validating the document

    Dátum = date ..... dňa = day .... mesiaca = month .... roku = year

    This document is written in 2 languages:

    Hungarian and Czech.

    The top 2 lines mean baptismal record.

    The top line is in Czech, the bottom is in Hungarian.

    So this is most certainly a copy of your

    mother's baptismal certificate.

    It doesn't look like Czech to me? Some parts do, but it actually looks like a different language, maybe that's the Hungarian?
