Sure, I'll be happy to translate this for you.

It translates to:

"Cursed! I split him in half like a piece of balsawood!

Tell me how well Google Translate fares with Finnish. I don't have high hopes. Your grammar is shitty.

Damn."

The last word "Perkele" is often used in Finnish language as a swear word or to express frustration. Please note that online translations, including Google Translate, might not always be accurate, and nuances of the language might be lost.
