Subjunctive verb
لِيَمِيزَ (That may distinguish) is in the subjunctive mood — it comes after a particle like أن ("that") or لن ("will not"), which changes its ending.
We translate it as "to [verb]" or "that [someone] [verb]".
Purpose لِ (so that)
لِيَمِيزَ (That may distinguish) starts with لِ showing purpose — it means "so that" or "in order to".
We add "so that" or "in order to" before the verb.
Sahih International
[It is] so that Allāh may distinguish the wicked from the good and place the wicked some of them upon others and heap them all together and put them into Hell. It is those who are the losers.
