12:92

قَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

Where other meanings fail

punishment

12:92

قَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

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.
