We report a measurement of the B{yields}{pi}l{nu} branching fraction based on 211 fb{sup -1} of data collected with the BABAR detector. We use samples of B{sup 0} and B{sup +} mesons tagged by a second B meson reconstructed in a semileptonic or hadronic decay and combine the results assuming isospin symmetry to obtain B(B{sup 0}{yields}{pi}{sup -}l{sup +}{nu})=(1.33{+-}0.17{sub stat}{+-}0.11{sub syst})x10{sup -4}. We determine the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V{sub ub}| by combining the partial branching fractions measured in ranges of the momentum transfer squared and theoretical calculations of the form factor. Using a recent lattice QCD calculation, we find vertical bar V{sub ub} vertical bar =(4.5{+-}0.5{sub stat}{+-}0.3{sub syst}(+0.7/-0.5){sub FF})x10{sup -3}, where the last error is due to the normalization of the form factor.
