create table newTableOne select A.name as groupA, B.name as groupB, C.name as groupC from tableOne, tableTwo as A, tableTwo as B, tableTwo as C where tableOne.groupA = A.ref_id and tableOne.groupB = B.ref_id and tableOne.groupC = C.ref_id;
Then re-add your indices and integrity constraints, double check that the new table is what you want, and replace your old table with the new one. If you might have defunct foreign keys, then you will probably prefer left joins to the above...
