Code:
$ cat f1
Id1 pp1 0t4 pp8 xy2
Id43 009y black
Id6 red xy2
Id12 new pp1 black

Code:

Id pp1 black new pp8

Code:
$ nawk  'NR==FNR{for(i=0;++i<=NF;){A[$i]=$i};next}{for(k=0;++k<=NF;){for(j  in A){if($k~A[j]) {x=((length(x))?x" ":x) $k;break}}};print x;x=y}' f2  f1

nawk 'NR==FNR{when scanning the first file
for(i=0;++i<=NFSmilie{loop over all field of lines
A[$i]};store those field in an associative array
next}process next line
{for(k=0;++k<=NFSmilie{Loop over all fields of file to analyse
for(j in A){Loop over the previously built associativ array
if($k~j) {if field match a pattern of associativ array
x=((length(x))?x" ":x) $kThe field is retain to be prompted
breakat first match, go stop looping over the array
} 
}end of field checking over the array
}when all fields have been analyzed
print xprint the concatenation of thos who have been retained
x=yclear x to make it ready for scanning next line
}' f2 f1note that the file contaning the pattern is passed as first argument

could be shorten a little by removing what is in red in previous code.
Code:
nawk  'NR==FNR{for(i=0;++i<=NF;){A[$i]};next}{for(k=0;++k<=NF;){for(j in A){if($k~j) {x=((length(x))?x" ":x) $k;break}}};print x;x=y}' f2  f1
