01 — The verse
Venez à moi, vous tous qui êtes fatigués et chargés, et je vous donnerai du repos.
Come to me, all of you who are tired and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Louis Segond 1910. Public domain. The English line is a learner gloss by the house, not a new translation.
02 — Twice
There is no recording on this card yet. Follow the highlight with your voice: once slowly, then closer to speech.
Venez à moi, vous tous qui êtes fatigués et chargés, et je vous donnerai du repos.
Follow the line with your voice. Recordings will sit beside this card when they are published.

03 — Three words
venez
come
Imperative, vous. The invitation is plural: you, and the people with you.
fatigué
tired
Fatigués agrees with vous. Fatiguée if you are speaking of one woman.
le repos
rest
Du repos — some rest, the uncountable kind. Not a nap on a schedule.
A sentence for this week
Venez à la table : vous êtes fatigués.
04 — A faith note
Jesus speaks to tired people, not to an audience that has already performed well. The French is gentle enough to say aloud to a friend.
05 — Say this
Je vous donnerai du repos.
