The sun and stars didn’t appear for many days. The storm was terrible. So we gave up all hope of being saved.

太阳和星辰多日不显露，又有狂风大浪催逼，我们得救的指望就都绝了。

许多天都没有看到太阳和星辰，又有狂风大浪催逼，我们获救的指望都放弃了。

许多天都没有看到太阳和星辰，又有狂风大浪催逼，我们获救的指望都放弃了。

一连好几天都看不到太阳、星辰，风浪肆虐，我们完全放弃了得救的指望。

好几天，都看不见星星和太阳，狂风大浪催逼着我们，这样看来，我们连生还的希望都没有了。

一连好几天见不到太阳和星星，又有暴风雨催逼着，最后我们连获救的希望都断绝了。

好幾天，都看不見星星和太陽，狂風大浪催逼著我們，這樣看來，我們連生還的希望都沒有了。

好多天不見有太陽，也不見有星星，又有不小的暴風雨緊逼着，從此我們得救的指望就被奪了去了。

一連好幾天見不到太陽和星星，又有暴風雨催逼著，最後我們連獲救的希望都斷絕了。

多日不見日星、風雨交迫、而得救之望竟絕、

數日不見日星、大風愈迫、得拯之望已絕、

多日不見日星、大風愈迫、得拯之望絕矣、

日星隱曜已歷多日；狂風怒濤、方興未艾、吾儕獲濟之望已絕、

When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.

When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

The terrible storm raged for many days, blotting out the sun and the stars, until at last all hope was gone.

For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, and the severe storm kept raging. Finally all hope was fading that we would be saved.

Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was slowly abandoned.

Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.

And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

For many days neither sun nor stars appeared, and the severe storm kept raging. Finally all hope that we would be saved was disappearing.

And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on[ us], all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a violent storm continued to batter us, we finally abandoned all hope of being saved.

When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

Suddenly a terrible storm came up on the lake. The waves crashed over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.The disciples went and woke him up. They said,“ Lord! Save us! We’re going to drown!”

Before you believed in Christ, you were separated from him. You were not considered to be citizens of Israel. You were not included in what the covenants promised. You were without hope and without God in the world.

“ Right after the terrible suffering of those days,“‘ The sun will be darkened. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. The heavenly bodies will be shaken.’( Isaiah 13:10; 34:4)

The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him,“ What should we do to you to make the sea calm down?”“ Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied.“ Then it will become calm. I know it’s my fault that this terrible storm has come on you.”But the men didn’t do what he said. Instead, they did their best to row back to land. But they couldn’t. The sea got even rougher than before.Then they cried out to the Lord. They prayed,“ Please, Lord, don’t let us die for taking this man’s life. After all, he might not be guilty of doing anything wrong. So don’t hold us responsible for killing him. Lord, you always do what you want to.”

Three times I was beaten with sticks. Once they tried to kill me by throwing stones at me. Three times I was shipwrecked. I spent a night and a day in the open sea.

Then the Lord said to me,“ Son of man, these bones stand for all the people of Israel. The people say,‘ Our bones are dried up. We’ve lost all hope. We are destroyed.’

You wore yourself out with all your efforts. But you would not say,‘ It’s hopeless.’ You received new strength. So you did not give up.

Brothers and sisters, we want you to know what happens to those who die. We don’t want you to mourn, as other people do. They mourn because they don’t have any hope.

Do not run after other gods until your sandals are worn out and your throat is dry. But you said,‘ It’s no use! I love those gods. I must go after them.’

The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ Reach out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt. It will be so dark that people can feel it.”So Moses reached out his hand toward the sky. Then complete darkness covered Egypt for three days.No one could see anyone else or go anywhere for three days. But all the people of Israel had light where they lived.

But the Lord sent a strong wind over the Mediterranean Sea. A wild storm came up. It was so wild that the ship was in danger of breaking apart.

He spoke and stirred up a storm. It lifted the waves high.They rose up to the heavens. Then they went down deep into the ocean. In that kind of danger the people’s boldness melted away.They were unsteady like people who have become drunk. They didn’t know what to do.

The Lord sent darkness over the land. He did it because the Egyptians had refused to obey his words.
