I suggest,
{30:37} Did they not see that God extends provision to whom He will and restricts [it]? Indeed, in that are signs for a folk who believe.

Quote:
{30:38} So give the relative his right, as well as the needy and the traveler. That is best for those who desire the countenance of God, and it is they who will be the successful.

I suggest,
{30:38} So give the kin his right, and the poor and the son of the road (the stranded). That is best for those who desire the countenance of God, and it is they who are the successful.

Quote:
{30:39} And whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with God. But what you give in zakah, desiring the countenance of God - those are the multipliers.

I suggest,
{30:39} And whatever you give each other in usury to increase within the wealth of the people, does not increase with God. But what you give in alms, desiring the countenance of God - then those are the multipliers.
