Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

and be good to parents,
the relatives, the orphans, the needy,
the near neighbour and the distant neighbour,
the companion at your side,
the traveller,
and your slaves.
Indeed Allah does not like
anyone who is a swaggering braggart.
37 Those who are stingy
and bid [other] people to be stingy,
and conceal whatever Allah has given them
out of His grace;
and We have prepared for the faithless
a humiliating punishment.
38 And those who spend their wealth
to be seen by people,
and believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day.
As for him who has Satan for his companion
— an evil companion is he!
39 What harm would it have done them
had they believed in Allah
and the Last Day,
and spent out of what Allah has provided them?
Allah knows them well.
40 Indeed Allah does not wrong [anyone]
[even to the extent of] an atom’s weight,
and if it be a good deed He doubles it[s reward],
and gives from Himself a great reward.
41 So how shall it be,
when We bring from every nation a witness
