Welcome to the forum. We're a learning site, so we encourage people to try for themselves, first, especially since we're not allowed to do homework. The dictionary here is quite good, and the automatic translator will give you a reasonable start. If you post the results, we'd love to go over them.

That's English slang, so it's not going to translate directly into Spanish. Try to translate it into standard English, then run it through the automatic translator here. Go ahead and post what you get. Now I'm curious.

I told you it was slang. Think about what it really means in English, then look that up. - KevinB, Oct 10, 2010

The use of the word "owned" in this context is idiomatic (or slangy); therefore, its meaning, in this context, does not follow the traditional sense of the word. Because of this, if you try to directly translate the word "owned" into Spanish, you will not actually convey your intended message because the translator will only give you a literal translation of the word. You might want to give a bit of thought as to what exactly "getting owned" actually means in English (as originally suggested by KevinB) before running it through the translator.

I would need to hear it in context to know what one earth it means in English.

"To be made a fool of". Apparently it's popular entertainment nowadays, purposely making other people look stupid and filming it. I'm sure the Romans would have loved it, right before the barbarians knocked on the door. - KevinB, Oct 10, 2010
It is often used to mean something like "you got beaten very handily (to the point of being made to look a fool)" - Izanoni1, Oct 10, 2010

It came from video games and spread through the net. It is commonly spelled pwn3d. Apparently ownear is now a verb among Spanish speaking videogamers.

"Eres mío" seems to be the best fit in my mind. It conveys ownership and expresses the idea of inferiority since ownership of self is possessed by another. Although not as colorful as the English counterpart, I believe is fairly accurate to the meaning of "you got owned."'

Just my two cents and I need change. raspberry

Ciao!!
