true is more the meaning in german = wahrheit

tell me the true and dont be a liar.

if you say to me "true until death" it means to me = wahrheit bis zum tot (nice to Smile )

problem is that true in englisch have more meanings but wahrheit and treu is in german different.

hope it helps and you can understoot what i mean with my bad englisch Smile

I would translate "treu" with "loyal" or "faithful".

"Loyal till death" or "Faithful till death".
