Quote:

{17:34} And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned.

I suggest,
{17:34} And do not approach the property of the orphan, except in the manner that is most benevolent, until he reaches his full most robust [state] (majority age). And fulfill [every] pledge. Verily, pledge is [something one will be] questioned [about].

Quote:

{17:35} And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with an even balance. That is the best [way] and best in result.

I suggest,
{17:35} And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with straight justice. That is good and is better in result.
