The second choice is more correct.

There're people who don't tell you the truth.

I don't tell you the truth.
It's shame for me

My book says "people who don't tell you the truth", but the Spanish sentence is "gente que no dice la verdad". I wrote "people who don't tell the truth", so I'm not sure if this is correct or not. There is not any context, it's just an exercise of translating into English short Spanish sentences.

Out of context, both are correct. If forced to define a difference, I would say the one with 'you' in it is more personal, suggesting the speaker has been lied to directly. "people who don't tell the truth" could be referring to strangers who have not lied to you directly.

Correct. Although personal, might as well be used impersonally.

I believe that the people won't telling you the true.
In the context of the phrase it could take a literal translation.
La gente te miente.

The people lie you.
The people don't says the truth.

Perhaps it's the more complete in the context of the phrase, I don't know as I should explicate you the phrase in Spanish, but really it's the unit way to know to say that in Spanish.
