فَأَوَّلُ عُقُوبَاتِهِمْ إِعْرَاضُهُمْ عَنْ الْحَقِّ شُغْلًا بِالْخَلْقِ،
The first of their punishments is that they turn away from the truth, becoming preoccupied with people.
عقوباتهم — of their punishments. A plural noun closing the 'first of...' pairing, with -hum ('their') fixed to its end naming whose punishments. As the owned part of that possessive chain it takes the 'of' (genitive) ending, so its shape marks it as belonging under 'the first' rather than acting on its own.
