וַיִּהְי֣וּ עֹשִׂ֔ים גּ֥וֹי גּ֖וֹי אֱלֹהָ֑יו & גּ֥וֹי גּוֹי֙ בְּעָ֣רֵיהֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֛ר הֵ֥ם יֹשְׁבִ֖ים שָֽׁם
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_were made nation nation his/its=god and,they_placed_[them] in=house_of of,the_high_places which/who they_had_acquired the,Samaritans people nation in,their_own_of,cities which/who they lived there )
The author is using a nation, a nation as a common expression of his culture to mean “each nation” or “every nation.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And all the nations were making their own gods … all the nations in their cities where they were settling there] or [And each nation was making its own gods … each nation in their cities where it was settling there]

In this verse, the word house is singular in form, but it refers to all of the temples on the high places as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural form of “house.” Alternate translation: [in the temples of]

See how you translated the similar expression in [5:18](../05/18.md). Alternate translation: [in the temples of the high places] or [in the shrines at the high places]

It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [where they were settling]
OET (OET-LV) And_they_were making nation nation his/its_god and_they_placed_them in_house_of the_high_places which they_had_made the_Shomrōn nation nation in_their_own_of_cities where they were_dwelling there.
OET (OET-RV) But each people group had made their own gods and put them in the hilltop shrines that the Israelis had made before being exiled. Each people group did that in the area where they’d been resettled.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
