Quran 2:147 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
The truth comes from your Lord; then be not among the doubters who doubt it that is to say ‘be not of such a disposition’ which is more eloquent than merely saying ‘do not waver’.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
But the truth has proceeded to you, O Muhammad, from Allah, your Creator, therefore do not permit their false assertions to cause you doubt and anxiety
Quran 2:147 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Those to whom We gave the Scripture ( Jews and Christians ) recognise him ( Muhammad ﷺ or the Ka'bah at Makkah ) as they recognize their sons.
But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while they know it ـ [i.e., the qualities of Muhammad ﷺ which are written in the Tawrah and the Injil ( 146 )This is) the truth from your Lord.
So be you not one of those who doubt ( 147 )
The Jews know that the Prophet ( ﷺ ) is True, but they hide the Truth
Allah states that the scholars of the People of the Scripture know the truth of what Allah's Messenger ﷺ was sent with, just as one of them knows his own child, which is a parable that the Arabs use to describe what is very apparent.
Similarly, in a Hadith, Allah's Messenger ﷺ said to a man who had a youngster with him:
ابْنُكَ هَذَا؟
قَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَشْهَدُ بِهِ
( Is this your son? ) He said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I testify to this fact." Allah's Messenger ﷺ said:
أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَجْنِي عَلَيْكَ وَلَا تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ
( Well, you would not transgress against him nor would he transgress against you. )
According to Al-Qurtubi, it was narrated that 'Umar said to 'Abdullah bin Salam ( an Israelite scholar who became a Muslim ), "Do you recognize Muhammad as you recognize your own son?" He replied, "Yes, and even more.
The Honest One descended from heaven on the Honest One on the earth with his ( i.e., Muhammad's ) description and I recognized him, although I do not know anything about his mother's story."
Allah states next that although they had knowledge and certainty in the Prophet ﷺ, they still:
لَيَكْتُمُونَ الْحَقَّ
( conceal the truth. )
The Ayah indicates that they hide the truth from the people, about the Prophet ﷺ, that they find in their Books,
وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
( while they know it. ) Allah then strengthens the resolve of His Prophet ﷺ and the believers and affirms that what the Prophet ﷺ came with is the truth without doubt, saying:
الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ
( (This is ) the truth from your Lord.
So be you not one of those who doubt.)

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( It is the Truth from thy Lord (O Muhammad )) that you are a Prophet sent by Allah. ( So be not thou of those who waver ) who doubt whether they know or not.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
(This is) the truth from your Lord. So be you not one of those who doubt.
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
