That's an incorrect translation, not corruption, easily solved by reading an accurate translation from the Hebrew, or the Hebrew itself.

And you are blind, yet you have eyes.

I agree. It is INTENTIONALLY an incorrect translation, hence, man has corrupted the Bible.

The King James version also says "Thou shalt not kill." Is it your intention that King James I was a pacifist or wanted his people to be pacifists?

I don't know that it was intentional, it may be. There certainly are many offbeat translations of both the New and Old Testaments, many made with specific audiences in mind. However that's not an indication of corruption of the source, rather the readers choice. The original is out there for anyone who chooses to read it, as are translations from the Hebrew which don't have meaningful differences between them.
