Catalan term or phrase: menar el carro
És diu així? Us sembla correcte?
Estic traduïnt de l'anglés "pull the wagon", en aquest context:
Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Matt.11:28-30 NIV). He never asks us to carry a load heavier than we are able, with His help, to carry. But if we try to ***pull the wagon*** by ourselves, we often find it is impossible.

estirar el carro
Explanation:
«Menar» té el sentit de 'conduir' o 'portar'. Aleshores, menar el carro sembla que sigui només portar les regnes (en castellà, «riendas»). Jo posaria alguna cosa com ara «estirar del carro».

Espero que et sigui d'ajuda.

Bon any!

Ups! A la resposta que et proposo hi falta la d: «estirar del carro». També he trobat: «tirar del arado» -> «tirar l\'arada», o sigui que una altra opció és «tirar el carro».
