As said above this is not normal. By virtue of steam/ smoke/ vapour coming from the engine bay you have obviously done something that has stressed the engine/put it under too much load for too long. I strongly suggest you have it properly investigated by a suitably qualified garage be that the main dealer or other specialist in jimny local to you. It's not simply going to get better by itself. You need someone to confirm that you don't have exhaust gasses in your coolant and that it has correct compression on all cylinder as a minimum check on the engine health. You might be lucky but I wouldn't count on it, you could just as easy hurt it quite badly.

is there something i can do to see if there was any damage? how can i check the 4l 4wd transmission and whatsover to see that there was no damage to the engine or so
Nickcot, maybe this answer will help.
Yes, you quite possibly damaged your engine and it needs to be checked by a professional. They have tools and experience that you do not have, and we can't help you with.
No, there is nothing you can easily check "to see that there was no damage." Boiling and/or exhaust-contaminated coolant is already a sign that there was potentially damage to one or more components.
Your choice is: go immediately to the professional shop to get it fixed, or don't. If you choose the latter, you might save money in the short term, but will almost certainly spend more in the long term.
