Google translation is much different than what you would expect in the book Lingva Latina per se Illvstrata. How can that be?

The main reason is that google translator doesn’t understand syntax and morphology too much, expecially at a high level. Which is the case for latin.
On the one hand, it is bads news; at the other hand, good news : we humans are still smarter than computers!

Google translate is generally a bad online resource for Latin. I would recommend whitakers words for single word English to Latin translations and wiktionary for single word Latin to English translations. I would not recommend Google translate or Latin dictionary (which is based on Google translate)
