It directly translates to "keep your thing out of holes and then your hole will stay out of things"

My interpretation is "keep your dick out of holes and your ass will stay out of trouble"

Exactly.

I'm guilty of using a translator.

Are "dick" and "mind" the same word?

How about "trouble" and "holes?"

It’n not really translatable, it is a kind of pun, where “ding” (thing) and “dinge” (things) but here, in context, it means trouble.
