No seas tonto. Literally, That you might not be foolish.

This is fine. Another option is "no sea(s) necio". - Gekkosan, Dec 30, 2011

You would say, "No esté tonto" for usted, and "No estén tontos" for ustedes.

This is not correct, himself. Nice try though. - Gekkosan, Dec 30, 2011

How about...
No haga ninguna tontería ---> usted
No hagan ninguna tontería ---> ustedes
This is probably more along the lines of "don't act foolish".

This is not quite correct. You're right in that this means "don't acto foolish"; don't perform foolish acts. - Gekkosan, Dec 30, 2011
