What is the best translation for command
I command you to go, or I command you to stay, or I command you to keep quite. I am looking for the best word to express authority.
I am looking at mandar ordenar or exigir or another word

Te ordeno que te vayas, or Te ordeno que te quedes, or Te ordeno que te calles. You can change ordeno for exijo but no mando (mandar) ---- ¡Te ordeno que dejes a mis hijos quietos!
In English, "demand" or "order" are the better words to use here, as in:
"I demand that you leave my children", or "I order you to leave my children"'
"I demand that you stay out", or "I order you to stay out"
"I demand that you keep quiet" or "I order you to keep quiet"

I would just say "Go You! Go Away!"( ¡Vete! ¡Vaya! ) rather than "I command you to go." I would just say " Shut Up!" or "Be Quiet!"( ¡Callate! or ¡Tranquila!) rather than saying "I command you to keep quiet." I dont know how to say "stay" but I can say "Sit You"( ¡Sientate!).
