There was a pull request made on one my repos adding explanations on the README file. Unfortunately, it's hardly understandable and I doubt will be helpful. What ways can I do to politely decline his/her pull request without discouraging future contributions?

You can comment GitHub commits on a line basis. Just add comments explaining the concrete issues with the suggested changes and then you will see where it goes from there. Generally, not all contributors are worth keeping around. You really want those with whom you can establish a feedback loop in both directions.
