Replace key:value from one file in another file in shellscript?

I have a "database file" with key-value entries and I have another file where the keys appear among other content. Now I want to replace that keywords with the values of my key-value file. Example:

There is one file "keys.txt" with "keyword space url":

name1 https://maps.google.com
something http://www.domain.com/bla.php?value=500
blabla http://thisis.example.com/moooooar.asp

I have another file "text.txt" which has one or several words per line, like this:

notrelated somewhatrelated blabla
blabla unimportant
asdf asdf asdf name1 dadadada

And as a result I want to have something like this:

notrelated somewhatrelated http://thisis.example.com/moooooar.asp
http://thisis.example.com/moooooar.asp unimportant
asdf asdf asdf https://maps.google.com dadadada

Actually my question is very similar to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5283653/ but non of the solutions mentioned there did work out since I am working with URLs (slashes, colons...) I guess?
