quran:2:42 –

And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know ˹it˺.  

And do not obscure, confuse, the truth, that I have revealed to you, with falsehood, that you fabricate; and do not conceal the truth, the description of Muhammad (s), wittingly, that is, knowing it to be the truth.
القرآن:٢:٤٢ –

وَلَا تَلْبِسُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُوا الْحَقَّ وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ  

{ولا تلبسوا} تخلطوا {الحق} الذي أنزلت عليكم {بالباطل} الذي تفترونه {و} لا {تكتموا الحق} نعت محمد {وأنتم تعلمون} أنه حق.

O People of the Scripture, why do you confuse the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know ˹it˺?  

O People of the Scripture! Why do you confound, ˹why do˺ you mix, truth with falsehood, by distorting and falsifying ˹scripture˺, and conceal the truth, the descriptions of the Prophet, while you know?, that it is the truth?

يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لِمَ تَلْبِسُونَ الْحَقَّ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَتَكْتُمُونَ الْحَقَّ وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ  

{يا أهل الكتاب لِمَ تلبسون} تخلطون {الحق بالباطل} بالتحريف والتزوير {وتكتمون الحق} أي نعت النبي {وأنتم تعلمون} أنه الحق.
