грехи в древнем Египте

Two major innovations in Egyptian afterlife found in The Book of the Dead are the description of the trial of the dead in spells 30b and 125b, which consists of the famous "psychostasy," or weighing of the soul on the scales of the keeper of the balance, and the no less famous "negative confession of sin" by the deceased in spell 125a. Although in general an Egyptian was supposed to do good and shun evil, his list of wrong actions may strike us as odd, especially when it comes to overwork, which is considered to be one of the worst transgressions: "I have done no veil, I have not daily made labor in excess of what was due ... my name has not reached the offices of those who control slaves, I have not deprived the orphan of his property ... I have not killed ... etc."

To the same series of wrong actions belonged making off with food offerings for the gods and the spirits, cheating, and any ecological devastation such as building illicit dams in flowing water, diverting watercourses, or catching fish in marshland, where they lay their roe.

как понять следующие отрывки:

"I have not daily made labor in excess of what was due"
"я не трудился ежедневно сверх того, что должно"
т.е. не перетруждался из-за наживы, что-то вроде "чти день субботний"?

"my name has not reached the offices of those who control slaves"
"моё имя не достигло управляющих рабами"
т.е. я не раб (рабам не полагался сияющий Херет-Нечер на прекрасном Западе, видимо...), и не аболиционист какой-нибудь?

Угу, мне кажется, именно в таком ключе и надо понимать.

Доброй ночи! Мне кто-то говорил, что если заказать путевки в египет здесь (http://www.tourskidki.ru/countrys/1015/593.html) то получится сэкономить… не правда ли?

Заранее благодарю за ответы.

NATO takes over command of military operations in Libya

[b]NATO is taking over command of military operations in Libya from coalition forces, world media reported Sunday.[/b]

The UN Security Council imposed the no-fly zone over Libya on March 17, along with ordering "all necessary measures" to protect civilians from Muammar Gaddafi's attacks on rebel-held towns.

The 28 NATO ambassadors met on Sunday to decide on further military plans in Libya.

The United States transfers command for a no-fly zone over Libya to NATO, while coalition forces will continue to protect civilian population from attacks by Gaddafi forces.

The military operation in Libya, codenamed Odyssey Dawn, has been conducted so far jointly by 13 states, including the United States, Britain and France.

NATO members decided on Thursday to assume responsibility for the enforcement of a no-fly zone in Libya, but could not agree on taking full command of all military operations in the country.

Meanwhile, leaders of the 27 European Union states on Thursday issued a statement saying the EU stood ready to assist in building a new Libya "in cooperation with the United Nations, the Arab League, the African Union and others."
