Check the datasheets for voltage levels. ESP32 uses 3.3V so if your devices uses the same you should be good to go.

4V logic? Sounds like an odd value. Are you sure about that?

In any case, use a levelshifter, such as the TXB0102DCUR.

You could also use a simple voltage divider based on two resistors for each channel.
