But draw us to You, away from that which is grievous?

I've just discovered this literal translation from greek of the Lord's prayer.

"Father of ours who 's in * heaven,
hallowed be thy name of yours,
come thy kingdom of yours,
arise thy will of yours,
as in heaven, also on earth.


This bread of ours that 's for the coming day give us this day.
And free us from these debts of ours
as also we have freed those debtors of ours.
And do not lead us into trial,
but draw us to you, away from that which is grievous ."


It looks completely astonishing to me. What is the coming day and why should we ask that bread of the coming day today?

Moreover, "DRAW US TO YOU, AWAY from that which is grievous" seems to have an even stronger meaning than how is usually interpreted. Especially for a prayer that starts with "Father of ours who is in Heaven".

What does this translation inspire you?

Thanks

As Jesus says, do not worry about tomorrow, the Father knows what you need.

So PEACE, complete PEACE today, no worry about bread tomorrow , nor about money, food, clothes, etc....

Do not grieve the Spirit. Our God is a Jealous God, serve Him whole-heartedly. (no distractions, no other gods, no idols, no hesitancy)

Matthew 6 (NASB)...most literal translation into English
9 “Pray, then, in this way:

‘Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.

10
‘Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.

11
‘Give us this day our daily bread.

12
‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13
‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.(one)

[For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’]

14 For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
