2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 7:30

Ἔτι δὲ ταύτης καταληγούσης ὁ νεανίας εἶπεν Τίνα μένετε; οὐχ ὑπακούω τοῦ προστάγματος τοῦ βασιλέως, τοῦ δὲ προστάγματος ἀκούω τοῦ νόμου τοῦ δοθέντος τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν διὰ Μωυσέως.
King James Version (KJV)

Whiles she was yet speaking these words, the young man said, Whom wait ye for? I will not obey the king's commandment: but I will obey the commandment of the law that was given unto our fathers by Moses.

Modern English

While she was still speaking, the young man said, What are you all waiting for? I will not obey the king's command; I will obey the command of the law given to our ancestors through Moses.
