What is the correct Spanish translation of the three wise monkey's saying?

I need this to be accurate...not just put in a translator:



See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil



Please! be accurate...I need this for a project.What is the correct Spanish translation of the three wise monkey's saying?
Well, "evil" has not a definite translation in spanish.



So, i think it would be:



No veas malvadamente, no escuches maladamente, no hables malvadamente.



It does not sound really good in spanish, but i think it's the correct idea and the most correct translation.
ver, oír y callarWhat is the correct Spanish translation of the three wise monkey's saying?
"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" literally means = “no ver el mal, no oír el mal y no hablar del mal”.



But the three wise monkeys represented in a wood sculpture have a meaning in japanese that have been translated as "no ve" (mizaru / he doesn't see), "no oye" (kikazaru / he doesnt' hear) and "no habla" (iwazaru / he doesn't speak) in spanish.What is the correct Spanish translation of the three wise monkey's saying?
The above answer is correct.

Their translation literally means



Don't see evil, don't hear evil, don't speak evil.



(In tu tense, so informal second person)

And imean the answer by Harry, the first one isn't correct.
"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Is a Western language interpretation of the original three monkeys. The literal translation is:



See not; hear not; speak not: mizaru, kikazaru, iwazaru.



The original carving is in the Toshogu shrine in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan There are many things in life that one sees and hears that are not evil yet should not be spoken of. The Asian ambiguity is perfect for moral interpretation applicable to all facets of Life.
