These words are spelled very similarly, so probably this was a transcription error. They actually have almost opposite meanings.
'Tradere' means to surrender, deliver while 'trahere' means to drag, draw out.
In the context of the phrase, 'trahere' makes more sense: 'Hinc autem mihi datum est tradere merita vitae' (Here nevertheless due reward was given to me to draw out my life...).
