their god

"of the gods of the other nations"

and you become trapped by it

This means taking the idols for the gold or silver could cause the people to start worshiping the idols. This will lead them to ruin like an animal caught in a hunter's trap. AT: "and it becomes a trap to you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

for it is detestable to Yahweh your God

"for Yahweh your God hates it very much"

You will utterly detest and abhor

The words "detest" and "abhor" mean basically the same thing and are combined for emphasis. AT: "You will absolutely detest" or "You will completely hate" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)

for it is set apart for destruction

AT: "for Yahweh has set it apart so that he may destroy it"
