What is the difference of meanings between the spellings しまう、仕舞{しま}う、終{しま}う、了{しま}う? Or at least, between the first two? (They are marked as common.)

If there is a source about such nuances, I'll appreciate links.

More specifically:
I know that しまう (in kana spelling) is a subsidiary verb, and a very common one. Besides that, I want to learn the full verb pronounced 【しまう】 (1to finish; 2to close down; 3to put away). So:

  1. Is the kana spelling しまう used for the full verb at all?
  2. If I want to translate the full verb from English into Japanese, how do I choose the spelling?
