فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةُ ۗ إِنَّهُمُ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ Qur’an Al-A'raf (7:30)
Fareeqan had a wafareeqan h aqqa AAalayhimu a l dd al a latu innahumu ittakha th oo a l shshay at eena awliy a a min dooni All a hi waya h saboona annahum muhtadoon a
some [of you] He will have graced with His guidance, whereas for some a straying from the right path will have become unavoidable:22 for, behold, they will have taken [their own] evil impulses for their masters in preference to God, thinking all the while that they have found the right path!"
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "will have become incumbent upon them" (haqqa 'alayhim), implying that this straying was an inevitable consequence of their own doings and attitudes.

To one group He has guided while the other group deserved to be left in error due to their own choice; for they took the shaitans for their protectors instead of Allah yet they think that they are guided.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
He has guided some, while others are destined to stray. They have taken devils as their masters instead of Allah- thinking they are 'rightly' guided.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
A party hath He led aright, while error hath just hold over (another) party, for lo! they choose the devils for protecting friends instead of Allah and deem that they are rightly guided.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Some He hath guided: others have (by their choice) deserved the loss of their way: in that they took the evil ones in preference to Allah for their friends and protectors and think that they receive guidance. 1012
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Guidance is for all. But in some it takes effect: in others the doors are closed against it, because they have taken Satan for their friend. If they have lost their way, they have richly deserved it; for they deliberately took their choice, even though, in their self-righteousness, they may think that their sin is their virtue, and that their Evil is their Good.
