لَّقَدْ أَنزَلْنَآ ءَايَـٰتٍ مُّبَيِّنَـٰتٍ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
Laqad anzaln a a y a tin mubayyin a tin wa A ll a hu yahdee man yash a o il a s ir at in mustaqeem in
INDEED. from on high have We bestowed messages clearly showing the truth; but God guides onto a straight way [only] him that wills [to be guided].64
  - Mohammad Asad

Or: "God guides whomever He wills onto a straight way". The rendering adopted by me in this instance seems preferable in view of the preceding, intensive stress on the evidence, forthcoming from all nature, of God's creative, planning activity and the appeal to "all who have eyes to see" to let themselves be guided by this overwhelming evidence.

We have indeed sent down revelations demonstrating the Truth, and Allah guides to the Straight Way whom He pleases.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
We have indeed sent down revelations clarifying 'the truth'. But Allah 'only' guides whoever He wills to the Straight Path.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Verily We have sent down revelations and explained them. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
We have indeed sent down Signs that make things manifest: and Allah guides whom He wills to a way that is straight.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
