Jose no da por cierto que los hombres vendrán... I thought the sentence means... Jose does not know for certain if the men have left. Please translate the same! Gracias!

no da por cierto I would take to mean....he ** is not completely sure** (that the men have come)

Nearly there! 
I'd translate that as Jose isn't sure if the men will come.
The verb here is venir.
Click here: venir and the dictionary will show you what's going on with the verb

I'm more than a little confused about "dar por cierto" there. An internet search provides two possibilities: to inform credibly and to assume. - webdunce, Aug 10, 2011
