Sitting as a tributal of three (judges), we were as one
This is not Hebrew but Aramaic. It is part of the formal preamble of a ruling of a Beit Din (Rabbinic Tribunal), indicating the unanimity of the ruling (as opposed to a minority/majority situation in modern tribunals). The Hebrew equivalent is: במושב שלושה [דיינים ב] בית הדין היינו כאחד

For example, Mishneh Torah provides a text for confirming Halitzah with a similar formulation (without the "as one"), translated as follows in the Chabad website as follows: "we, the judges... sat in a session of three in court."
