Copy first word of line

Usually I find the answers to my beginner-script-problems here in this forum but this time I had no luck so far...

I want to modify a Japanese vocabulary file to import it into granule. Every line looks like this:

Quote:
Word (Reading) Translation
I would like to have it like this:

Quote:
Word; Word (Reading) Translation
The lenght of the words always differ, but there is a bracket "(" in every line, so the part before the bracket should be copied and inserted with a trailing ";" at the beginning of the same line again.

How could this be done?

Thanks for any help!
