The datasheet explicitly says that the SCL/SDA pins are not 5V-tolerant, so you'll definitely need level shifters.

but those pins are pulled-up to 3.3V not 5V... – moyoumos Jan 02 '19 at 07:29

Sorry, "those pins" refers to which pins exactly? Your question states that you're using a 5V Arduino. – Dave Tweed Jan 02 '19 at 12:46

the SDA and SCL pins of the sensor are pulled-up with 4.7K resistors. – moyoumos Jan 02 '19 at 18:03
