Distinguishing between "to wait" and "to hope"

Distinguishing between "to wait" and "to hope"

I want to translate these two but the lack of contrast in Spanish is a problem. As the second is used in a religious sense, this must be esperar.

But what can I use for the first to make a meaningful distinction.

Why not give us the sentences you'd like to translate and we can see if we can show you the difference :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 15, 2011
