Hola William
Maybe the google translate option is not the most reliable all the time.
Have a look here.

Thanks for the reference. From what I've noticed, it seems that "have to" or "should" might be more common possibilities to consider when "deber" is encountered. Although, to be fair, there is not much difference between "must," "should," and "have to."

I’ve found that although Google has improved a great deal, you still have to check and sometimes correct its translations.
