Arabic term or phrase: xhibil

I am translating a document in Albanian into Swedish and I came across this word, which seems to be Arabic. I get several Google hits with quotations from the Koran, transcripted into the Latin alphabet, with the word xhibil.

E.g. "Velekad edal-le minkum xhibil-lenkethiiren efelem tekuunuu teakiluun."

Maybe the meaning in Arabic could help me to understand the phrase in Albanian. On the other hand, loanwords can change their meaning during the centuries.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion
