وَأَمَّا الذُّنُوبَ فَلَيْسَ لِلْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَذْنَبَ
As for sins, it is not for the servant to sin.
يَذْنَبَ — to sin. A present verb 'sin' standing in the subjunctive shape forced by the 'to' particle just before it. The changed ending is how a listener knows this is the contemplated action, the thing-not-permitted, rather than an ongoing fact.
