If there's no relation between the two identifiers (moon => 217) you could use RewriteMap. Based on the example in the docs:

RewriteMap oldsite2wordpress txt:/etc/apache2/oldsite2wordpress.txt
RewriteRule ^index.php?id=(.*) /?p=${oldsite2wordpress:$1|NOTFOUND} [PT]

Then you define the mappings in /etc/apache2/oldsite2wordpress.txt

##
## oldsite2wordpress.txt - Maps old website IDs to WordPress IDs
##

moon 217
earth 87
sun 997
