Think of looking at someone running across the street and then looking through a telescope at someone running far away. The person far away would be in the past because of whatever amount of distance light had to travel. The person far away would seem to be running in slow motion.
Instead of whatever tiny fraction of a second your telescope would enable you to look into the past, the telescopes looking at whole-ass galaxies in the early universe that appear to be "running slower".
