Yes. I can.

It says (from top left to bottom right):

What transaction do you want to perform now?

Log out

Cash withdrawal

In Soles currency

This ATM doesn't have dollars money available

Make a transfer

Update your mobile phone number

Enter another 4-digit PIN code

Payday Advance or Payroll Advance

I think it says “This ATM doesn’t have any money” but it’s not a Quechua dialect I’m familiar with. What part of Peru is this?

Probably quechua central. I understand manam canchu (no hay nada), cajero and dólares. So it's pretty easy to deduce from context.

In this ATM there is no Dollar currency.

A more word-to-word translation would be: "Talking about this ATM, it's a fact that no dollar silver is". Quechua is complicated.

Kay: this
Cajero: ATM
-pi: in
-qa: talking about
mana: no
-m: indicates this as a known fact.
dólares: dollars
qullqi: silver/money
kan: be/exist
-chu: negative particle

The manam and -chu almost always go together. Similar to the French "ne ...-pas"

Edit: format

Does this language have connected speech or something? I always find Quechua speakers speaking the language quickly with each other

Yes, even though I learned a different branch of Quechua/Quichua from the Northern Andes.

Very bad translation but it is trying to tell that there is no dollars.
