OET (OET-RV) Her brother Avshalom (Absalom) asked her, “Did your half-brother Amnon mess with you? But now, my sister, don’t tell anyone since he’s your brother and don’t let it upset you.” So Tamar lived in a state of desolation in her brother Avshalom’s house.

Absalom is referring to sexual relations in a polite way by using the phrase been with you. Depending on what is helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [Has Amnon your brother slept with you?]

Absalom is using a common expression of his culture to mean that Tamar should not continue to think about what happened and be upset about it. 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: [Do not take this matter to heart] or [Do not dwell on this matter]
