The officials told him, "Sit down. Read it to us, please." Baruch read it.

Then they said to him, Be seated now, and give us a reading from it. So Baruch did so, reading it to them.

And they said to him, "Sit down and read it to us." So Baruch read it to them.

And they said to him, "Sit down now, and read it in our hearing." So Baruch read it in their hearing.

They said to him, “Please sit down and read it to us.” So Baruch sat down and read it to them. ¹ 

¹ tn Or “‘to us personally’…to them personally”; Heb “‘in our ears’…in their ears.” Elsewhere this has been rendered “in the hearing of” or “where they could hear.” All three of those idioms sound unnatural in this context. The mere personal pronoun seems adequate.
