Exegesis
The aorist imperative paralabe {παράλαβε | pará-la-be} with meta sou {μετὰ σοῦ | metà soû} commands bringing companions, and the adverb eti {ἔτι | é-ti} modifies hena ē dyo {ἕνα ἢ δύο | hé-na ḕ dý-o} to indicate additional persons.
A purpose clause introduced by hina {ἵνα | hí-na} governs the forensic idiom epi stomatos {ἐπὶ στόματος | epì stó-ma-tos} plus the genitives dyo marturon ē trion {δύο μαρτύρων ἢ τριῶν | dý-o mar-týr-ōn ḕ tri-ṓn}, specifying the required witnesses.
In context — Matthew 18:16
But if he does not listen, take with you one or two additional persons , so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
