It looks like you are talking about 4-20mA (not 4-20V) ..
This current can be easily converted from mA to V by using a 250Ω termination resistor ..
The voltage range will be 1.00V (for 4mA) and 5.00V (for 20mA) ..
If you want to, you can use an opamp to expand the range from 1-5V to 0-5V, or you can program your microcontroller to do this correction in software ..
