Bly stil = 'Be quiet', literally 'Be still' This is the politest way you can say this.
Hou jou mond = Literally 'Hold your mouth' is much more forceful
Hou jou bek = Is the same thing, but 'bek' in a rude way to say 'mouth'
But because 'Shut up' is so easy to say many people will just say that instead of using actual Afrikaans
