Japanese translation:絶望/悲惨と苦痛
Explanation:
It's not a set phrase in English and therefore I don't think there would be a standard translation.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, David. I am not sure if it is a set phrase or not though, here there are many set phrases which must be in Bible or relevant literatures.

Asker: We must use carry a quotation from them correctly. Maybe you are right. Thanks, anyway.

Asker: 提案していただきましたが、確かにそういう意味ですが、あまりふさわしいトーンではありません。　ただしキリスト教的な言葉は独創性があり趣があるものです。　インターネットで十分なものではないです。　

Asker: Hello! Davis. I would like to say about it... I am not a Christian though, I read Bible and relevant literature several times, so when I read it, I felt these words carries a lot of weight. It may be because they have been cherished for a long time. Especially these words seem to be quoted into literature,etc.. And they must have been interpreted carefully. Strictly word for word. So I just want to ask someone who are major in if possible. Please understand me. I know you are very kind person, so you answered for me. Thank you very much, David-san. Mami
