Trying to write shell script under Linux

I have a file which contains data like this:

1;2;3
4;5;6
7;8;9
....
n

where n is a random numer of lines. I'm trying to get from this file something like this:

command_1_command_2_command_3
command_4_command_5_command_6
....
n

Any suggestions how can I achieve this?

1;2;3
4;5;6
7;8;9
nachiket@nachiket-X550LD:~$ awk 'BEGIN {FS=";"}; {$1="command_"$1;$2="command_"$2;$3="command_"$3;print $1"_"$2"_"$3}' stacko.txt
