YUSUFALI : The people of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but some of them conceal the truth which they themselves know.

PICKTHAL : Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognise (this revelation) as they recognise their sons. But lo! a party of them knowingly conceal the truth.

SHAKIR : Those whom We have given the Book recognize him as they recognize their sons, and a party of them most surely conceal the truth while they know (it).

M& HILALI : Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad [sallallahu alayhi wa sallam] or the Ka'bah at Makkah) as they recongise their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while they know it - [i.e. the qualities of Muhammad [sallallahu alayhi wa sallam] which are written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)].
