I don't think Google Translation is helpful at all and doesn't translate in the right meaning.

Here take a look at this picture taken from a game...
I extracted the text from the picture, so can you please check if my letters are of the same in the picture.

キミこそ ユダヤのよげんにある
まかいから あくまを よびだし

The Google Translation was:-
In fact what I have Jewish Kimi

Your transcription is correct. And as for the best way to translate, everyone has their own best way. You'll have to develop yours for yourself. As an illustration, I tend to read a sentence, understand it in my head, and then put it into literal English. Later, I reconsider how to make it flow better. (This is, of course, for literary translation.)

MMM is a professional translator. He has better opinions on this than I, most likely.
