Quote:
Matthew 6:13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. NIV
And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. NLT
Which one is better translated?

Neither, really. Although this is the word used for temptation (on the idea that a temptation tests us), in this context, this is more a request to not have to go through trials and testing than temptation.
This is more in line with these verses:
Because you have kept my command to endure, I will keep you from the hour of testing that is coming to the whole world to test those living on the earth. (Revelation 3:10)
Mat 22:1But Jesus recognized their wickedness and said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? (Matthew 22:18)
Grace and peace,
