جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا
Jaz a an min rabbika AAa ta an h is a b a n
[All this will be] a reward from thy Sustainer, a gift in accordance with [His Own] reckoning17 -
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., not merely in accordance with their good deeds but far in excess of them, in accordance with God's unlimited bounty.

- a recompense from your Rabb and a gift beyond their account
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
a 'fitting' reward as a generous gift from your Lord,
  - Mustafa Khattab
Requital from thy Lord a gift in payment
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Recompense from thy Lord a Gift (amply) sufficient 5909
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The Recompense is not exactly a Reward in proportion to merit, but is rather a Gift or a Bounty from the Merciful-a Gift most amply sufficient to satisfy all desire on that plane of purity. "A Gift (amply) sufficient" might almost be translated: a liberal and bountiful gift. Cf. the phrase, A 'ta fa ahsaba= he gave generously, or bountifully.
