what does debir mean?

The translation is not provided, the examples translate it as "must," but google translate shows "owe" and "have to."

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.

Use of definite articles before a country name

“Tú debes viajar a la India.” Is it correct to have a definite article in this sentence? “You must travel to THE India?”

Hola Kent

Yes, some countries (most of them don't) use sometimes the article, for example "la India", "la Argentina" or "los Estados Unidos". You can use or omit the article, both options are correct.
