Your solution would need to be processing two files, you could do that using awk. There are many examples like that with the NR==FNR construct. You could first build an index (say using an array "A") with the entries from file 2 (column1 is the index, column 2 the value). Then when processing file 1 you can first look at field 2 and then at field 3 and if they are present in array "A" then replace them with that vaiue ($2=A[$2]). OFS can be used to change the output field separator to a comma.

Would that help you?
