وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ
WaaAA ta qaleelan waakd a
and gives so little [of himself for the good of his soul], and so grudgingly?28
  - Mohammad Asad

My rendering of the above two verses (together with the two interpolations between brackets) is based on Razi's convincing interpretation of this passage as a return to the theme touched upon in verses 29-30.

He gave a little from the promised amount then stopped.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
and 'initially' paid a little 'for his salvation', and then stopped?
  - Mustafa Khattab
And gave a little, then was grudging?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Gives a little then hardens (his heart)?
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
