This alternate translation is not horrible. In many cases, those who want the Bible rewritten have no case. In this verse, their translation seems as good as the more familiar version, in terms of the literal word-by-word meaning.

I would have to study the subtleties to understand the original context and meaning of the phrase, as opposed to the more clear meanings of the words. I’m not saying they are right, but they are far less obviously wrong than usual, and they may be correct.

I agree. It seems like small potatoes to me. I’ve always interpreted it to mean to help us to not be led astray... but delivered from evil.
