Another question about indirect object pronouns
My last question was about this topic but I'm still trying to get a grasp of it.
When in English you would say something like "he bought it from me"
In Spanish you'd say "me lo compró"
Or for he stole it from me "me lo robó"
Does this mean when trying to say an English sentence to Spanish with the word "from" in it, do you have to use this kind of indirect object pronoun format.
I only knew indirect object pronouns as the to him, to her, to whoever format but not sometimes from him, from her.
Like if you wanted to say "he took the hamburger away from him"
You would say "le quitó la hamburguesa (a el)" right?
What if you wanted to say "don't hide from me"
Every translator I use to try and clarify says "no te escondas de mi"
But would the real translation be "no te me escondas" or something, based on what I said up there.

As my English isn't good enought to explain this. I'll do it in Spanish and before in English.
No te escondas de mí vs no te me escondas.
La primera es la más usada y creo que es la opción más adecuada en cualquier contexto.
La segunda. " no te me escondas" posee un pequeño matiz emocional en el que el hablante asume como algo propio o se siente muy ligado a la otra persona. Por ejemplo una madre le diría a su hijo: " no te me caigas" ( porque eres parte de mí y si te haces daño yo también lo sentiré ).
Poniendo en contexto tus frases.
Un policia a un ladron: no te escondas de mí , es inútil, te atrapar?.
Un recién casado a su esposa en la luna de miel: no te me escondas amor.
The first one is the most used option, and I think that it is the most suitable in any situation.
The second one " no te me escondas" provides a little emotional nuance in which the speaker feels that the other person ,emotionally speaking, is a part of him ,
For example a mother to her son. Don't fall honey ( she loves her baby so much that if the baby falls [down] she will feel [too] the pain too}
Your sentences in context.
A Policeman to a thief. No te escondas de mí
A husband to his wife during their honeymoon. No te me escondas.

Please correct my English . Mates if there is someone so kind as to rewrite my post if it is not understable I will/would be glad.
no te me escondas
Because the reflexive pronoun te is used here, it is understood that the demand is that you not hide yourself and your hiding is the emphasis. The me indicates the other person affected by the action, so it´s OK to say it this way..
no te escondas de mí
This way is also correct but with the emphasis on the other person affected (de mí).

Not really, the most common usage is : no te escondas de mi.
As Asto said, the second option is used in a somewhat emotional way.
Mother getting really angry at her child: ¡No te me escondas...te voy a poner la cara al revés!
Trust me, the child should stop hiding there and then...lol
Hi Tozelton! 
In this case, I think that: " no te me escondas" doesn't carry the desired meaning, me escondas could mean you hide me..it's like saying, "YOU don't hide me." It's better to say, no te escondas de mí (from me) or if you want to further emphasize the verb, you can say: no te escondes de mí (with an "e" for imperative)
Hope this helps!
