The black and white I will assume are from a cable, and the red and black are the leads in the water heater. Assuming the cable is a 240 volt feed to a 240 volt water heater, Connect black to black and white to red, and color the white as a ungrounded (live) conductor with a permanent marker at both ends of the cable.
