Great translation, but I'd make a slight edit to be closer to the Arabic,
{10:26} For them who have done good is the best [reward] and extra. No darkness covers their faces, nor humiliation. Those are the companions of the Garden; they therein are perennial.

Quote:
{10:27} But they who have earned [blame for] evil doings the recompense of an evil deed is its equivalent, and humiliation will cover them. They will have from God no protector. It will be as if their faces are covered with pieces of the night - so dark [are they]. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

I suggest,
{10:27} But they who have earned the evil [deeds] - the recompense of an evil [deed] is with an equivalent to it, and humiliation covers them. Not for them from God is any safeguard. [It will be] as if their faces are covered with pieces of the night [when it is very] dark. Those are the companions of the Fire; they therein are perennial.
