1st declension or Neuter?

Hi

For the noun (or is it an adjective used as a noun?) evil in the
following sentence should it be in the 1st declension, since it refers to
the fatherland (dative), or neuter (3rd declension)?:

Superabunt mala nostra
or
Superabunt malas nostra

(They will overcome the evils in our fatherland)

-Michael
