Read through the file a line at a time. For the first line the book_id
is 1, for the second it's 2, etc.

Split each line on whitespace, and then for all but the first entry
(which is a name?) split on the colon to get the chapter_id and
versed_id.

Insert each tuple of (book_id, chapter_id, versed_id) into the DB. You
haven't said what type of DB it is, so I can't help you there. Just read
the documentation.
