    There are two major bugs in your code.

    The reference Lua 5.2 algorithm at http://lua-users.org/wiki/SecureHashAlgorithm, from which this code is adapted, gives correct answers.

    First, the functions band, rrotate and rshift do not work properly because they expect unsigned integers and they sometimes receive negative values. To fix that, add a line telling something like int = int % 2^32 at the start of all those functions to ensure the numbers are between 0 and 4294967295.

    There is a second problem. Compared to the reference implementation, the ending lines in the form of H[1] = band(H[1] + a) have been transformed into H[1] = band(H[1], a). This is not the same thing! Replace them with something like H[1] = (H[1] + a) % 2^32 and now the function gives correct answers.
