How do I approach a translation?

The first step is not to translate straight away. First, read any information given to you about the context of the passage. Next,take the passage a sentence at a time. Find the subject usually near the beginning of the sentence. Identify the verb and its tense and conjugation. Find the object and put the sentence together, translating any other parts of the sentence last and fitting in wherever it makes sense in English.
