I am not sure about MetaTexis glossary - never used it, but I guess you can create a simple file with just two columns or tab-separated lines:
--------------------------------------
Sourceterm1[tab]Targetterm1
Sourceterm2[tab]Targetterm2
Sourceterm3[tab]Targetterm3
Sourceterm4[tab]Targetterm4
Sourceterm5[tab]Targetterm5
Sourceterm6[tab]Targetterm6
etc...
as *.txt
--------------------------------------
or 2-column file as *.csv
--------------------------------------
Then choose you termbase in memoQ (or create new one).
Then 'Import terminology' -> add your *.txt/csv

Here goes the most importand part - assign fields.

Choose F0 and check 'Import as term' -> select source language
Choose F1 and check 'Import as term' -> select target language

In this example I used csv. If you use txt, delimiter will be 'Tab' (not 'Semicolon') by default.

If you have synonyms in source, check 'Split alternatives in field by' and add ; or , or whatever you use to separate them.
