Translation help please

Hello, I need help translating a phrase in Mandarin to Japanese. This is what I've got from various translation apps. But I'm not sure which is the closest to how a native would speak.

The phrase in Mandarin means "Stupid! You got tricked!(笨蛋！你中计了！）" A few of the Japanese translations I found were:

1. バカ野郎、騙されたんだ！(DeepL)

2. バカ野郎、罠にはまったぞ！(Talking Translator)

3. バカ野郎、罠にはまったんだよ！(Google Translate)

Can any senpai advise please? Thank you!

罠にはまった means "fell into the trap" or "fell for it", "were taken in (by some ruse)".
騙された means you were tricked, swindled, cheated, etc..

So I feel DeepL's translation is the best.

Thank you Majestic for your detailed explanation! Very much appreciated

You need not post the same question twice in two different threads. I don't know about nowadays, but at one time that was considered a faux pas around here.

Hi Mikawa Ossan, appreciate your detailed explanation in the other thread. It's really helpful for my case. Thank you for the much needed reminder as well, my sincerest apologies!

Let me add that I agree with what Mikawa Ossan said about バカ野郎, changing to something else depending upon if its meant with humor/affection, or hostility.

Translation help please
