Alternative: there is no punishment upon you today
Research rendering: there is no reproach upon you today
The construction and immediate speech context concern what is held and said against the brothers for their offense; no penalty is named.
forgiveness
12:92
قَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ
Alternative: there is no forgiveness upon you today; may God forgive you
Research rendering: there is no reproach upon you today; may God forgive you
The next clause positively prays for forgiveness, so the categorically absent item must be the censuring response, not forgiveness itself.
